16. IOIYAAR, period.

its OK If You Are A Republican...a well-worn dogma in the age of the shameless Turtle and the Orange ass Monkey.

As Democrats, we own a large part of this failing too...while they simply refuse to acknowledge ANY wrongdoing and deny or ignore everything (including Congressional summons to testify, subpoenas and more); while we clutch the pearls and gasp and run good people out of Washington and state level roles for out of context or minor offenses in decorum or manners.

Republicans have no shame, none; and we have tended the opposite reaction, catching the vapors and needing a fainting couch at the drop of a hat...
