Nancy Reagan must be spinning in her grave, fast enough to connect a generator and power a city!

not just because they are hypocritically tribal
and will thereby overlook any
transgressions of the Ten Commandements
committed by their own

but because it's also exactly
WWMD?
What Would MAGAts Do?

since the primary reason
the alt-reich so identify with Trump
is because they are all
Ayn Randian Virtue of Selfishness
malignant narcissists


just like Trump and McConnell, et al

Louie Gohmert
Michael Cloud
Lance Gooden
Marjorie Taylor Greene
Andrew Clyde
Matt Gaetz
Greg Steube
Andy Biggs
Thomas Massie
Andy Harris
Bob Good
John Rose

All the pro-insurrection
Back the Blue" MAGAt scum
who voted against honoring Police
after the Capitol Riot

Here's the thing. Assuming they were all consenting adults, I have no real issue with what they did. Unwise, unsavoury? Sure, but my sense of civil and personal liberties extends that far.

The "harm" comes in the form of a lessening of moral authority to near zero on their part. They no longer get to look down their noses at, or waggle their fingers in the faces of people they use to posture as being morally inferior, thus untrustworthy.

It is incorrect grammar, it hurts my ears, it makes Democrats appear uneducated and careless. The subject of a sentence does NOT deserve celebration when the word "at" is placed, INCORRECTLY, after the word, "where", in that sentence. This is the rule no matter the font used or any exclamatory punctuation desired. Nor does the day of the week or mood of the writer change the plain truth that such disregard for correct grammar is like a window into the writer's mind, revealing as much as any declarative statement about said mind.

Asking nicely. This time.

The topic came up in conversations we had when we were teens, maybe fewer filters, fewer boundaries.

Anyway, they both said they'd never pay for sex, it felt demeaning that if they weren't valued for what they offered without money.

I'm 68 now. Brothers are long gone. I am not as judgmental now as I have been in the past, but if these guys have to pay to have sex, how can they be seen as having the strength of will to lead?

will this make the GOP look more appealing? E.g., to frat boys who are thinking of getting involved with the College Republicans.

No wonder Matt Gaetz liked Donald Trump so much and did not want to go back to the pre-Trump days of the Republican Party.
