Crass Trump dishes up another load of sexism

WHILE would-be presidential candidates are debating world peace and climate change, Donald Trump has made fridges and dishwashers his central issues.

“Remember the dishwasher? You’d press it, boom. There’d be, like, an explosion. Five minutes later you open it up, the steam pours out,” he said during a rally in Milwaukee this week.

Trump then attacked newer models, claiming that women – only women – across the country now have to wash their dishes “10 times”.

“Anybody have a new dishwasher? I’m sorry for that,” he told the crowd, promising that under his presidency their “dishes will be beautiful”.

If you ask Trump what do you do when your dishwasher stops working, he’d probably say, break up with her.

A Kansas man has thrown down the gauntlet to his ex-wife and her lawyer who, he says, have already “destroyed (him) legally” in their ongoing legal battle in her hometown in Iowa.

David Ostrom, 40, is seeking court permission to settle their child custody case “on the field of battle” with a sword fight.

The 40-year-old claims in court papers that ex-wife Bridgette Ostrom, 38, and her attorney Matthew Hudson have made his life unbearable.

“I now wish to give them the chance to meet me on the field of battle, where I will REND THEIR SOULS from their… bodies,” Ostrom wrote in his filing. He asked the judge for a three-month delay so he could obtain Japanese samurai swords ready for his planned combat.

Kentucky police recorded two General Motors employees driving new 2020 Corvette Stingrays at more than 100mph on a road with a speed limit of 45mph.

The company is investigating the incident involving its “test vehicles”. Perhaps as testers, they had a need for speed.

A 102-year-old man is retiring next month – after nearly six decades on the job.

“I guess your body tells you when it’s time to go,” said Bob Vollmer, a veteran surveyor for the Indiana Department of Natural Resources.

Nearly a dozen guns a day were discovered in carry-on bags or on passengers at airport checkpoints across America last year. That’s a total of 4,432 firearms. Worse, 90% were loaded!

P.S. I’ve been away all week so nothing from my barman, Richard. It was left to a shop sign to make me laugh. Outside a Washington DC vacuum store, one read: “Everything we sell sucks.”
