14. I say this in the nicest way possible...grow up!

Fani Willis is an adult...she and her partner were in a consensual relationship long before the indictments...she brought him on because her staff of assistant DA's were too scared to prosecute the case...

Donald Trump is a adjudicated rapist, an adulterer, a confessed pussy grabber, a salacious Peeping Tom, and has a thing for his daughter..

Lauren Boebert was caught giving a guy a handjob in a movie theatre..

Marjorie Taylor Greene had affairs while she was married and displayed dick pics on the House floor...

Matt Gaetz is accused of human trafficking and sex with a minor...

Jamie Comer assaulted a former girlfriend and demanded she have an abortion

Mike Johnson (and his son) monitor online porn sites..

Nancy Mace openly speaks of her sex life to her office staff...

Jim Jordan knew of (but ignored) multiple college wrestler complaints of sexual assault by the team doctor...

As adults we are allowed a private life...and we cannot walk the razor's edge of impropriety all of the time (it's exhausting)...the pain of divorce and the urge to "get even" is not uncommon particularly when one's ex is high profile...let it rest and toss the clutched pearls and set fire to the fainting couch...
