As TGP previously reported, according to Axios reporter Jonathan Swan, claims against Democrat Al Franken are the “very tip of the congressional iceberg.”
The “next wave,” is coming, says Swan.
Congress has a rampant sexual harassment problem. In fact the problem is so bad that female lawmakers and aides keep a ‘creep list’ of men who are notorious for lewd behavior.
It was revealed Monday evening that one Congressman who settled a harassment suit in 2015 was Democrat Rep John Conyers. According to affidavits, Conyers used taxpayer money to fly women into D.C. to meet with him in hotel rooms!

The documents were first provided to BuzzFeed News by Mike Cernovich.
Independent journalist Mike Cernovich teased from his Twitter account Sunday evening following the Axios report. “Ranking Democrat on major committee accused of several harassment by multiple women. Huge scandal. Developing…” Cernovich tweeted.
On Monday Cernovich tweeted “Tonight” over his Sunday night teaser.
Now this…
Buzzfeed reports:
Michigan Rep. John Conyers, a Democrat and the longest-serving member of the House of Representatives, settled a wrongful dismissal complaint in 2015 with a former employee who alleged she was fired because she would not “succumb to [his] sexual advances.”
Documents from the complaint obtained by BuzzFeed News include four signed affidavits, three of which are notarized, from former staff members who allege that Conyers, the ranking Democrat on the powerful House Judiciary Committee, repeatedly made sexual advances to female staff that included requests for sexual favors, contacting and transporting other women with whom they believed Conyers was having affairs, caressing their hands sexually, and rubbing their legs and backs in public. Four people involved with the case verified the documents are authentic.
Buzzfeed also reported that staffers were tasked with flying women in for Conyers using Congressional resources!
One affidavit from a former female employee states that she was tasked with flying in women for the congressman. “One of my duties while working for Rep. Conyers was to keep a list of women that I assumed he was having affairs with and call them at his request and, if necessary, have them flown in using Congressional resources,” said her affidavit. (A second staffer alleged in an interview that Conyers used taxpayer resources to fly women to him.)
Former employees also said that Conyers made it very clear that if they performed ‘personal favors’ it would lead to salary increases and promotions. It was well known Conyers was having affairs with multiple female staffers. He often made sexual advances towards women and grew angry if they brought their husbands around.
Even more egregious, Conyers’ victims were paid a settlement in exchange for their silence out of taxpayer money after a long, daunting process.
John Boehner was House Speaker when these settlements were made. Buzzfeed reached out to his spox and they have not responded with comment.
Conyers’ wife is also a crook. As The Gateway Pundit previously reported, former Detroit City Council President Monica Conyers was sentenced to 37 months in prison for bribery charges in March of 2010.
What a lovely Democrat couple.

Congressman Conyers pictured below.
Rep. Jackie Speier (D-CA) recently told MSNBC’s Chuck Todd that taxpayers have paid over $15 million to settle sexual harassment lawsuits against members of Congress!
TAXPAYER MONEY.
We the people deserve to know all the names of the predators on Capitol Hill. They must be publicly shamed, forced to resign and pay the taxpayers back.
Conyers is one worthless POS…….look at his district and ask them why he is still there…
I think we can safely assume that Washington pretty closely resembles Ancient Rome in terms of the morals and behavior of the Elite. Since we have the same foreign policy of conquest, rape and pillage, the same monetary policy of debt and corruption of the value of the denarius and the same domestic policy of slave labor, bread and circuses, it would be strange to expect anything else.
Hopefully, the only thing that may come of this is an end to Martin Luther King Day. And let’s go back to Washington’s Birthday and not Presidents Day.
I agree. But dream on.
He’s just collecting on his reparations. So’s his wife.
Anon: nothing will come from this. DC is a giant circle jerk and we ain’t invited. Just pay yer taxes, keep yer mouth shut and do what we say.
Do Democrats, the voting ones, think there is anything wrong enough with this to make them vote against him?
I doubt it, I keep remembering Marion Barry when I think of Democrat moral standards.
Colored me shocked.
See what I did there?
2 points, HF:
A. This orchestrated take down is impacting all colors. Hell has no fury as a woman ignored, men blew off their claims of harrassment by the big jefe, now everybody gone pay. The Bannon war on Repubs is nothing compared to the Women’s War on Wankers
B. I like to make puns, so does iForget. We consider it bad form to add ‘see what I did there?’ to highlight the joke. If you don’t get it, you don’t get it, no yuk for you, solly. Seriously, dude, did you say you did the college circuit or the grade school gravy train?
d. respectfully, EC
Really?
You mean all those other guys aren’t black?
Wow, I did not know that.
The joke was about ONE guy, Conyers. Sorry to throw you into a tailspin. I shan’t do it again.
‘See what I did there’ is especially humorous to me. Don’t know why. Don’t care if it isn’t to anyone else. It makes me grin, every time.
I used to write in all caps at a couple of different forums years ago and it quite literally drove people batshit crazy, over the top, frothing at the mouth type insane. Over a font. You could gang rape a corpse and most people would go ‘meh’, but all caps? Wow, full blown histrionics. I did it because it made it easy to see responses to my posts, no other reason, but I kept it up because it upset people and that was entertaining in its own right.
SEE WHAT I DID THERE?
I’m not looking to get you riled up. It’s just TBP protocol to give you crap. In fact, the phrase ‘see what i did there’ has the same effect on me as ‘he should have ducked’ has on other folks. We shall never know all the stuff that triggers folks. When it comes to writing a comment here, I subscribe to the motto ‘if it feels good, do it’. Carry on, sir!
EC
I had to point out I pointed out what you did there on the other thing we were talking about over there.
no worries HSF,
it is funny all the way around.
You’re on fire today. Should have this guy following you around.
“upheavals are gonna upheave” is definitely a keeper (meaning I intend to steal it).
Congress is a fucking cesspool. The bar isn’t just set low, it’s laying on the ground. I would expect no less from these scumbags, any one of them that isn’t on the steps of the Capital, every day, screaming to the high heavens about the debt that will surely do us all in, is capable of anything.
Sorry ladies, but an unwanted pinch or squeeze ain’t nothing compared to the shit storm a coming.
The past couple of months has been like the sound of an approaching storm. Soft rumbling from a distance, ever closer, growing more powerful with each passing minute.
It’s coming. It has been for a while. And sooner than you can imagine, it will be upon us.
Careful what you wish for.
Gathering storm sounds nice but I prefer to call it the revenge of La Chancla.
EC
Well that is all nice to speak of coming storms but I think the Trumpeteers will be shocked to the core and beyond with high drama to come.
If Conyers flew in some Ho’s and grabbed them in the pussy he’s just doing what you all described as being a “Real Man”.
You should only be unsettled if old Conyers used the taxpayers money to fly in his bitchez.
that sucks
Why Suzanna….what do you mean by that short answer?
Yes, an elite man of prominent station or celebrity who believes he can grope any women against her will is not an admirable quality, perhaps that is what you mean. A plane load of paid Ho’s expect to get the treatment, maybe that too is what you meant.
Perhaps you missed the ticker tape parade given for DT when he let his thoughts be known.
So, you are pushing fancy glittery thong sandals now?
He is right Maggie…..
Flying sandal retribution is the way to clean up bad behavior. Do you remember when the guy threw his shoes at W Bush? That guy knew something.
I have a very good memory for A&P/anatomy and physiology.
The age of many of these dudes in congress flying women in
and etc. means there are chems involved.
This brings to mind Scott Walker in WI making some insurance
reforms (trying to anyway) for the teachers union. Health Care
was essentially free for life. Black males in the union threatened
to strike/not sign contract, etc. because an end to FREE Viagra.
Those fatsos needed it to be sure.
See what I did there? Figure the rest out yourselves.
keisersuzanna is getting on my last nerve. See what I did there?
EC
What do PTB lose by throwing Conyers,Clinton and Rose to the dogs? They are all old and not useful to them anymore. This is mild stuff compared to Pizza Parties.
OTC, the point of that is to minimize the outrage, to send the message – well, they did it too. It’s a kid’s ploy for leniency.
EC
With the end result being a blurring of right and wrong. Because once you’ve crossed that line and once you’ve stepped off the edge of that principle you were standing on, you can’t put that puddle of wax back into the candle jar.
Who amongst us has not said something FUCKING inappropriate to someone, even if just by accident?
Hell, I asked the 17 year old kid on his horse if he needed me to put his beagle on a leash for him yesterday while out walking? He may have found that insulting. An old lady like me suggesting he isn’t able to control his own dog? (He’s not, because my spoiled brat dogs have introduced Mr. Bee Bee beagle to the good life over here a half mile away. Haha… Bee Bee comes to visit us a little too often, so he is grounded.)
But, he rode over on his horse to ask us to NOT let Bee Bee play with our dogs inside their fence. Since our dogs could eat Bee Bee, we prefer they see him as a friend, not a foe. Since the neighbors let their beagle wander, why should our fenced dogs be forced to be the offenders on our property. In other words, how come our dogs get zero benefit from their irresponsible dog ownership? If I let my big Pyrs defend their property, Bee Bee will “be” no more.
Let me explain… the mutt you see running toward my porch is the beagle who belongs on the farm across the valley. The home is probably a good half mile as the crow flies and until this time of year (fall and deep winter) the home and outbuildings are not visible. The kids got a beagle mutt over the summer, when I adopted the little Pyrenese female the Veterinarian saved for me because she saw how painful it was for us to lose JDAWG. I thought she could use a friend since big Jake, my 7 year old Pyr decided he HATED her and what the hell was I doing bringing that annoying thing here for anyway. Well, after 6 months or more, he doesn’t HATE her but he still thinks she is a bit too rambunctious for his hips, which are beginning to bother him.
So, Bee Bee likes to come visit Missy and play with her in our one acre fenced back yard. Problem is, he doesn’t want to leave. Any attention from one of us (Nick or myself) is better than being chained up to the cattle gate beside the barn with one or another of the kids coming out to give you scraps and let you off the chain to run free at night, presumably to keep coyotes away from chickens. But, anyone who believes a 15 to 20 pound beagle is keeping coyotes away is deluding themselves because that puppy is over here at our house or at the lady with whom I walk front door almost every morning.
The neighbors who own that beagle do not see him as family member. Nick and I see both of these dogs of ours as beloved family members. If we treated them as Pyrenese, as territorial guardians, and let them out of their fenced acre at night, Jacob would kill Bee Bee somewhere between our property line and our home. End of issue. Because that stupid mutt Bee Bee is too ignorant to realize that fence isn’t there to protect him. It is there to protect my dogs.

If they can manage to make it look like hysterical women, we can go back to Trumpland.
EC
I think I’m done editing that… does it make sense?
That stupid mutt Bee Bee is too ignorant…
The dog seems appropriately named.
Thanks. I thought so. But what does that say about the owners?
That they’ve gotten stuff from FEDEX?
Maggie, that beagle wasn’t raised right and he needs love. He’s looking for a new home and, apparently, he likes yours.
The end result of this is that women will find themselves unemployable where there are men. Sexual segregation.
It worked for forever.
Yep.
Additionally, I think the climax of this story will be the conclusion of Pizza Gate and the validation of those who pursued it but were labeled ‘crackpot’ by the MSM. It will turn out that they were just ahead of their time.
There should be a Sexual Predator Notice required on the Voting Ballot.
I want one made into a bumper sticker.
EC
You are not a prevert you moran. Are you?
I have delayed talking about my latest litter of kits. My mature doe, Shirley Godbunny, made Scrapper the proud father of five little blocks of nekkid pinkness around the twelvth of November. I had the nesting box in place for her a few days in advance and she had the litter in the corner of the cage against the back wall. All I did was to slide a piece of carpet under the “nest” she built with her own fur and hay. I thought about adding a heat lamp, but she’s an enormous rabbit and I felt it would possibly be dangerous to have an electric lamp in there with an adult bunny.
So, all five lived and are fine. Shirley’s got her own private condo to the right, while the little bunnies are tumbling around looking for Mother’s milk.

What the hell does all this beagle and bunny shit have to do with the subject at hand?
See what I did there? There should be a limit to the amount of words in a comment one has to talk about themselves.
I like Maggie’s stories. Sometimes animals can show people are just animals, too.
This is why it’s very hard to feel sorry for people who keep voting these sexual preverts into office.Blacks do this shit more then any other group .I bet he will be elected right back into office.Then these same Blacks will piss and moan about how bad they got it.
Did you see that my neighbors named their dog for you?
Elpidio? Who names their dog that? Why can’t they call him Alejandro?
How the hell is he able to pay for settlements with taxpayer money?
Giant meteor where are you?
Most guys Conyers age can barely get it up. I’ll have what he’s having.
“The tribe members all breathed a sigh of relief. 30 pattern sexual harassers in a row was starting to look a little statistically peculiar.”
No wonder the government can’t get anything done. No wonder Hollywood can’t put out a decent movie. No wonder everybody getting pissed. No wonder Putin did not interfere with the election. No wonder China is fine with watching us destroy ourselves and not being truly aggressive. No wonder why the stock market climbs and climbs. No wonder an honest man ( woman)is rare to find. No wonder at all. Generally speaking we are only out for ourself. Thank the good Lord for the exceptions.
Please, do not take my following comments to mean I’m trying to control what’s posted here?
Tee Fucken Vee for the past fucking year has basically been three things; 1) bash Trump, 2) Russia gate, and 3) whose dick was planted in which vagina.
Sickeningly boring. I imagine the rest of the world is laughing their fucking asses off at us.
I’ll bet y’all must also be getting tired of all this Where’s Waldo’s Winking Wanker Winding-up.
PLEEEEEEASE, MAKE IT STOP!!
We are in a 4 year holding pattern. Please enjoy the distractions. We shall return to the regular programming shortly. EC
Ditto- BL
Hey Stuck if you understood Espanol you could watch Univision where they carry endless reruns of the life of Jenny Rivera and listen to updates on what’s going on with her family members now. Then you have the Selena retrospective, what we lost when she died. You could then watch MQB, look who’s dancing, featuring has-been telenovela ‘stars’ dancing with poor morons who are being used for filthy lucre. Then there’s the talent (ahem) show where morons attempt to sing like Selena or Jenny Rivera. Folks in North Korea don’t know what they are missing.
EC
At least Venezuela has the Maduro telethon every weekend.
Stop watching that shit dude.
It’s like saying these damn cigarets have had me coughing a blue streak the last year.
Quit
MMin
haha I know you mean well. But, I’m a weak-willed pussy. You must take that into account.
OK, lemme babble about personal shit no one cares a damn about. Here’s some of what I watch. Note, I literally record everything before watching. No fucken commercials for me.
— Every Sunday I record Columbo, even though I’ve seen every episode. Peter Falk is just awesome in that role.
— Perry Mason … for Ms Freud. It was a weekly routine for her and her mom. Her mom is dead now. She enjoys the memories.
— Monk. Just because.
— I’ve seen every Star Trek and ST-TNG episode. I’ll still record my favorites.
— Animal and nature shows. As much as I can. Couple weeks ago watched a show about flowers&plants in the high Alps. So damned fascinating.
— Documentaries. You actually have to work hard to not learn something.
— Various travel shows … if I’m interested in the country. I recorded a show focused on Budapest about a year ago. I still have it, and still watch it from time to time. Such a drop dead beautiful city. Before I die, I gotta go to Budapest.
Ya see, bud, I just can’t pull da plug. I do admire people who had the cahones to do it, though.
Hey, Stuck grow a pair. Danny Trejo says get Sling TV.
Stucky, my 86-year-old mother watches “Columbo” and “Perry Mason” every chance she gets. She’s seen them all probably 5 times at least but loves them. She also watches “I Love Lucy” and old movies.
If you want to experience world travel and interesting sites, I recommend Vic Stefanu’s site. He does great stuff.
Here’s a link:
Vic didn’t talk in that video, so here’s another example.
Stucky, my point is, you can find all these things usually on YouTube. From the old-time shows to travel channels. Even Rick Steves’ travel shows are on YouTube.
Thank you Vixen, and others, for the very good ideas.
I’ll definitely look into such options for the next joint I call home.
Right now I have no choice. Five families live in this 15k sq ft joint … the landlord got a pretty good package deal … so, it’s bundled in the rent.
Thanks, again.
Vic
We watch the Rick Steve’s travel shows every week. Rick likes to smoke some weed.
Nobody should be paying for cable if they could just get the hang of internet viewing.
Why did the wealthy patrons send their daughters to the convent? Were the streets of Venice a tough neighborhood?
Maggie, the majority were send there for “education,” Medieval-style for women. Some patrons “donated” daughters to the convent as nuns. I think at that time they thought it helped them get into heaven. Many in the Medieval period thought that.
pull the plug/get ROKU
Stucky- Are you serious? Do you really not know how to watch all of that programming basically for free? Perry Mason and Columbo are available on youtube . Amazon is loaded with docs and nature shows.
