    FFS they won’t kick George Santos, and he’s guilty as original sin. 😂

    I’m an old guy, what do I know. “Grab 'em by the pussy”, would have ended a man’s political aspirations.

    Then there was drama over that one guy who misspelled potatoe. “Not fit to be second in line to the Presidency!” And THAT guy had a hand in preserving our democracy! Matt Groenig and The Onion couldn’t write this shit.

    Hell, guy before last had the temerity to wear a tan suit and enjoy Grey Poupon.

    Scum.

      Remember when “If it’s legitimate rape, the female body has ways to try to shut the whole thing down,” literally ended a then-winning senatorial campaign in Missouri? That was only 11yrs ago!

      For those who don’t know, that was Todd Akin ® who said that. And before he said that, he was the favorite to win against the incumbent, Senator Claire McCaskill (D), when MO was turning from purple to red. It was a landslide loss for him. Just 11 years ago, a comment like that would’ve ended a campaign and career completely.

      Nowadays, that’d barely register.

        Oh it’d register today.

        In today’s world, that’d lead to a widely held belief among the Republican base that it was fucking true, and any disagreement with it would mean you’re a part of the vast liberal conspiracy.

          Ah true. It’d be campaign slogan. Maybe even a party plank or tenet. Sigh.

      And that guy who got run out of the primaries for “being excited.”
