"I spoke with Tricia Gronnevik, a forty-four-year-old credit-union marketing analyst who attended the San Antonio rally. 'Doug just blew me away with how real he is,' she said. 'It doesn’t seem fake or forced, like good old J. D. Vance.' Gronnevik is a fifth-generation Texan—she grew up on a ranch—and she thought Emhoff would be a worthy First Gentleman. 'We need a new version of masculinity represented,' she said. 'I’m really tired of the alpha-male toxic bullshit. Being a South Texas country girl... I grew up in deer camps listening to a lot of misogynistic shit. It’s refreshing that we have men here who are supportive and not punching down, being bullies.' Emhoff’s 'super-cool' musical taste 'is making me love him even more,' she added. 'I’m a big New Order fan, too. The Cure is my favorite band of all time, so if he’s a Cure fan I’m gonna die.'"
Writes Sarah Larson, in
"Doug Emhoff Takes His Gen X Energy on the Road/On the trail, Emhoff has made loving music, and his wife, look like a campaign in itself. 'If he’s a Cure fan, I’m gonna die,' one rallygoer said" (The New Yorker).
I asked Google what's the most famous Cure song. I got
this:
Now,
there's your nontoxic masculinity. Aim higher younger-than-boomer guys. I saw JD Vance's fuchsia tie at the debate last night, but there are miles ahead on the road to detoxification.

Did nontoxic Robert Smith ever knock up the nanny?
Breaking today: Doug Emhoff slapped girlfriend at Valet stand at Cannes festival.

--- "that’s where I feel like we’re at now. We need hope. We need stability. We need good governance."
If by horrible chance or chicanery they get this, they will experience their first serious disillusionment. Many younger groupings do lean Democratic. Does the country have to get nuked and/or go bankrupt before they understand how poor that leadership has been?
”punching down”
So Tricia Gronnevik admits that in her eyes women are the lesser sex? If a man makes a wise crack about women, he’s not joking about his equals, he’s getting cheap laughs at the expense of the weaker half of h. sapiens? Good to understand her perspective.
If 5 Klonipin-addled Invega-injected Broadmoor inmates started a band, that's what they'd look like.
Look, non-toxic masculinity Doug Emhoff has been just been credibly accused of forcefully slapping his lawyer girlfriend after a Cannes Film Festival event in 2012 AND causing the miscarriage of his mistress nanny he impregnated in 2008. Jen Psaki’s calls that redefining masculinity.
October is Domestic Violence Awareness Month
I, for one, appreciate the humor in redefining masculinity away from toxic behavior such as leadership, honor, integrity, and towards the more respectable and healthy behavior of collectivism, dishonesty, lack of any moral standards.
We had a chance in 1996 to stop this type of BS journalism about elected officials personalities in 1996 when Bill Clinton and Newt Gingrich were asked (in separate incidents) about their underwear choices. Clinton waggishly answered, Gingrich reamed the idiot who asked for wasting the opportunity to ask a government leader a real question. In retrospect, who was more toxic there?
Just don't call him a Boomer. 1964 is the new gen-x energy.
Doug Emhoff, what a sexy beast. Geesh, who buys this bullsh*t? That's actually not meant to demean him because I don't think he's the one pushing this, he's just along for the ride. If masculinity means knowing where to put it, he certainly passes that test.
Bob Dylan, a Minnesota native, wrote a song "Knocking on Heaven's Door". We can repurpose the lyrics for potential "First Gentleman" Emhoff. "Knock, knock, knocking on Nanny's door". Which musta worked for Doug considering he knocked her up. Whatta man! You have to be brain dead to want to embrace that version of masculinity. The first rule in any workplace-- in words that the young lady from South Texas might understand, is, "Don't ride the working stock."
Here's some of Doug Emhoff's GenX energy.
Doug Emhoff accused of slapping around ex-girlfriend.
This, after he impregnated his kids nanny in his first marriage.
He's a slug. He's dirt. And our media cannot push him on us enough.
Robert Smith, still alive ok
Doug just blew me away with how real he is,' she said. 'It doesn’t seem fake or forced, like good old J. D. Vance
"Reality doesn't matter," says woman who likes to let the media tell her what to think. "It's all about vibes and The View tells me Doug Emhoff has good vibes."
Here's a thought, maybe when American women start behaving more like women instead of awful facsimiles of men the men will reduce the well-deserved "misogyny" directed at the imposters trying to poorly imitate them.
Until then, we will continue to have as many opinions about those that don't share our genitalia and lifestyles as they do about about those that don't have theirs. Stay in your lane you intrusive ninnies.
amazing receipts flaunted by DailyMail to taunt fact-checkers futile or foolish venture - this is goldplate journalism
Greg goes for the body on the far right...
Emhoff is an abuser of Women, so of course the Progressives LOVE him...

Of course this Gronnevik chick is a Democrat. She prefers New Order to Joy Division? Poser.
How to get people to ignore who you are as a corrupt and horrible lying politician - and focus on things that do not matter. 101.

“Did nontoxic Robert Smith ever knock up the nanny?”
No, but he did defeat the Mecha-Streisand. Although, that could be considered a display of toxic masculinity by some.
I know this is a controversial take and might get me banned from this blog, but In Between Days is by far and away the best The Cure song, followed very closely by Pictures of You and Just Like Heaven.
Men, women, and our Posterity are from Earth. Feminists are from Venus. Masculinists are from Mars. Social progressives are from Uranus. War of the worlds. #HateLovesAbortion #HateTrumpsLove #DiversityEquivocationIndoctrination #AmericanCivilLibertiesUnburdened
Remind me what office he's running for again? I've been told that nothing you do matters if your name isn't on the ballot.
Dumb as rocks to ditch good warrior men.
The fact that he attended the Cannes Film Festival was enough for me.
Just Like Heaven is one of my favorite songs. I don't drink much anymore, but if you are ever home alone and have had a few drinks just put it on and dance to it by yourself.
Also, Texas may just go blue this election with Cruz perhaps losing his seat. The abortion issue has women in Texas seething. If that turns into votes, the Republicans are toast and their 30 year tenure running the state will end this election. If not, probably in 2026 or 2028, unless the state legislature stops tripping over themselves with social issues rather than helping workers and businesses. It took the Dems from the Depression to 1994 to lose Texas, the Republicans are accomplishing that in half the time!
Why does the UK press do the job that the US press should be doing? Now I want to know if Doug has ever slapped Kamala around!
This aged well
People are more complicated than the images the media creates of them. Doug as enlightened, non-toxic, cuddly male and Doug as feckless, submissive beta male are two sides of the same coin, or else mirror images -- one good, the other bad. The real Doug can be more of a bastard than the simplistic image. That makes him worse than his fans think. And maybe better than those who run him down as a weakling? Or is that going too far?
The man who is willing to step aside and let his powerful wife have the spotlight isn't necessarily a saint or a wimp. Think Prince Philip, content to play second fiddle to Queen Elizabeth, but also capable of being a bastard and a bully when he could be or wanted to be.
If Texas turns blue, it will be because of the illegal alien vote. This is my biggest fear. Federal law (Motor Voter) makes it super easy for illegals to register to vote and, per that 2013 SCOTUS case authored by Scalia, the states can't require proof of citizenship to vote. The GOPe in DC has failed us.
It's good to know that schtupping the nanny is the new and improved model of masculinity.
This, IMO, is the Cure's most famous song. I haven't met a late Boomer woman yet who didn't go nuts when it gets played.

This is the truth.
If TX goes blue it will be because of the locusts fleeing there from the states they've denuded. If there had been an 11th plague that befell Egypt in the bible, it would have been Californians.
Pictures of You by a mile. C'mon, maaaan...
“I took the one less traveled by, and that has made all the difference.”
Don't forget ignoring stripper-conceived grandchildren by crack-smoking sires. It screams Pater Familias and gets the ladies all hot and bothered.
Cruz is currently ahead by 5 in RCP's average, most recent polls are LVs and show about similar (earlier, RVs showed a much bigger lead). Cruz beat Beato by 2.9 last go-round, so it doesn't look like Texas is going blue this time either.
But that's all despite not because of the feckless GOPe.
You ladies like your True Detective soap opera scandal gossiping. Way to embrace and lean into your inner toxic feminine Animus
Followed VERY closely by Pictures Of You.
Fascination Street is easily in my top five albums of all time and I listen to a LOT of different stuff (consequence of being a radio jock for years)
He spun her right around. Story vetted by 3 other women, who provided the place and time.

“Aim higher younger-than-boomer guys.”
As a Gen-Xer, I can say that we definitely did aim higher when it came to masculinity than this Boomer band.
I was not a fan of The Cure, but they had a coolness vibe. But definitely not a masculine one.
From the post:
"Now, there's your nontoxic masculinity. Aim higher younger-than-boomer guys. I saw JD Vance's fuchsia tie at the debate last night, but there are miles ahead ahead on the road to detoxification."
...and miles to go before we sleep.
Re: The Cure photo. No "men in short dresses" tag?
More "Non-Toxic masculinity"
I learn much of what I know of US politics from UK press.
We're supposed to believe all women, right?
Contrast to Walz, America's Dad with a barely contained volvanic rage
The Cure is a guilty pleasure. Like impregnating the nanny.
Whoa, I almost feel sorry for Kamala. She has terrible instincts about men.
Doug is a Boomer. 1964. He cheated on his wife and knocked up the nanny. Bad example of masculinity.
It's amazing what liberal women will look past in men's behavior as long as you're pro-abortion up until the moment of birth.
Reshaping masculinity and women's faces, one slap at a time.
Harris brings to mind "Jumping Someone Else’s Train"
Very Stanley Kowalski
To be fair to Emhoff, the woman he slapped was a lawyer, so...
Before we jump all over the guy, I guess we need to know, which one was he slapping, the woman or the lawyer?
Nobody can say Doug's pimphand ain't strong when controlling his putas. Just ask his bottom biatch Kamala.
According to the news account, this happened when Doug was drunk. So he has difficulty with alcohol. The hints are Kamala also has problems with alcohol. Sad.
He's her swooner dreamboat lover boy!
Being married to California's AG, and then US Senator, and then US VP, has done wonders for Doug's career. If you happen to recall Selina Meyers' ex husband from the HBO series, Andrew Meyer, you'll have a sense of the energy Doug can avail himself of by virtue of his proximity to power. He doesn't need to be explicit about it. It's just there. Nobody wants to be on the wrong side of the Emperor's family,
"'We need a new version of masculinity represented,' she said. 'I’m really tired of the alpha-male toxic bullshit. Being a South Texas country girl... I grew up in deer camps listening to a lot of misogynistic shit. It’s refreshing that we have men here who are supportive and not punching down, being bullies."
Never fear ladies, Doug Emhoff's non-toxic flat-handed brand of masculinity is here!
Whatever America's ailment, Doug Emhoff is not the cure.
Why do these revelations always come from the British papers, and never our own? Hmmm.
I'd call it a slap in the face to women everywhere.
But especially's Dougie's ex-girlfriend.
Maybe that's why Kamala can't speak in public? She's afraid of getting smacked if she gets out of line?
@Ampersand - It doesn't hurt that Kamala's BFF is a top exec at Disney, and odd-on favorite to be the next CEO of the House of Mouse.
