Its ironic given what prompted this post that in this one I said of Jimmy what I&#8217;ve said recently of the newest Supreme Court Justice that Jimmy&#8217;s show had the reputation of being <a href=\"http:\/\/lincolndemocrat.com\/?p=21729\">&#8220;a bawdy frat show.&#8221;<\/a><\/p>\n<p>The video below is a repeat of a wonderful, dead on, song I just posted. Jimmy Kimmel who has become anything but a male chauvinist saw it too. This time Lynzy Lab is accompanied by a chorus. I am a sucker for human decency and I teared up. So did Claudia when she saw it. <\/p>\n<p>When my daughter was in college and started going to &#8220;raves&#8221; I worried for her. It wasn&#8217;t only frat boys and father figure Bill Cosby who slipped knock out drugs in women&#8217;s drinks. In the old days getting a girl drunk was supposed to an invitation for sex but that wasn&#8217;t good enough for some guys. Pro Choice hero, Senator Bob Packwood was exposed thirty years ago for giving woman a mysterious pink drink which clouded their memories. I can&#8217;t find a quick google reference to the drink but look at this <a href=\"https:\/\/www.nbc.com\/saturday-night-live\/video\/sen-bob-packwood-cold-opening\/n10485\">old SNL cold opening<\/a> from 1993.<\/p>\n<p>Its always been a scary time for fathers of young women. But I bet a lot of them are the same fathers who are going to Trump rallies to preserve what made America great. <\/p>\n<p>I told Claudia that the silver lining in the Trump Presidency is that it has pointed a Klieg light on men. She agreed and said that at a women&#8217;s book club yesterday everyone agreed that the Trump presidency was exposing racism and sexism as never before. Here&#8217;s the video from the Kimmel Show:<\/p>\n<p><iframe loading=\"lazy\" width=\"950\" height=\"534\" src=\"https:\/\/www.youtube.com\/embed\/nN-3F8T4t5w\" frameborder=\"0\" allow=\"autoplay; encrypted-media\" allowfullscreen><\/iframe><\/p>\n<p>How are the Republicans attempting to save themselves? Through <a href=\"http:\/\/flip.it\/aHdXnS\">duplicity<\/a>, <a href=\"https:\/\/www.nytimes.com\/2018\/09\/08\/opinion\/sunday\/voter-fraud-lie-missouri.html\">cheating<\/a> and the <a href=\"https:\/\/www.rollingstone.com\/politics\/politics-news\/georgia-voter-suppression-brian-kemp-736817\/\">theft of votes<\/a>. That the worst of this is happening in the Republican south is testament to how wrong the Robert&#8217;s Court was to <a href=\"https:\/\/www.nytimes.com\/2013\/06\/26\/us\/supreme-court-ruling.html\">shelve the monitoring of the South&#8217;s notoriously racist<\/a> election laws. <\/p>\n<p>But don&#8217;t worry. Our President loves black folks. Why as Florida was being <a href=\"https:\/\/www.youtube.com\/watch?v=13UoLG4assM\">pummeled to smithereens<\/a> by hurricane Michael he chose to have a press conference with <a href=\"https:\/\/www.youtube.com\/watch?v=n14sxxdlo7Q\">his most loyal black supporter<\/a>:<\/p>\n<p>On the pretext of stopping &#8220;rampant&#8221; but, in fact, almost non-existent voting fraud all the deep south and many other Trump heavy states now require photo IDs. Its not like to good old days in the 1940&#8217;s when a rich Texas oil man could give a poor Mexican American five bucks to vote for anyone who was against the oil depletion allowance that kept them rich. Now those Mexicans might vote for a Democrat instead and <a href=\"https:\/\/www.aclutx.org\/en\/news\/sorry-state-voting-rights-texas\">have to be prevented from voting <\/a>by any means necessary.<\/p>\n<p><img decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/media4.s-nbcnews.com\/j\/newscms\/2017_28\/2067091\/overall_eae4a374cfe887bf631d05487faca6d3.fit-560w.png\" alt=\"\" \/><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>If you put Jimmy Kimmel in this blog&#8217;s search engine you will find four posts (now five) with the talk show host&#8217;s name in&#8230;<\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":1,"featured_media":0,"comment_status":"closed","ping_status":"open","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"footnotes":""},"categories":[90,14,60,52,127],"tags":[],"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/lincolndemocrat.com\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/posts\/26253"}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/lincolndemocrat.com\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/lincolndemocrat.com\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/lincolndemocrat.com\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/users\/1"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/lincolndemocrat.com\/index.php?rest_route=%2Fwp%2Fv2%2Fcomments&post=26253"}],"version-history":[{"count":12,"href":"https:\/\/lincolndemocrat.com\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/posts\/26253\/revisions"}],"predecessor-version":[{"id":26266,"href":"https:\/\/lincolndemocrat.com\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/posts\/26253\/revisions\/26266"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/lincolndemocrat.com\/index.php?rest_route=%2Fwp%2Fv2%2Fmedia&parent=26253"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/lincolndemocrat.com\/index.php?rest_route=%2Fwp%2Fv2%2Fcategories&post=26253"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/lincolndemocrat.com\/index.php?rest_route=%2Fwp%2Fv2%2Ftags&post=26253"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
