I would never be a Republican for all the reasons I never have been. They’re too religious, they’re fiscal hypocrites who absolutely hate it when American spends money it doesn’t have except when they’re in office and then it’s always completely OK, they’re in denial about racism (which, yes, is still a thing), they think climate change is a hoax and the weather girl’s tits are real and they’re always blaming the underprivileged when they should be blaming the overprivileged.

CONFEDERATE TERRORIST INDICTED
— Bombshell DAILY 💣 (@BombshellDAILY) April 9, 2021
Kevin Seefried, and his son Hunter Seefried were both indicted on five counts each related to entering restricted federal property and disorderly conduct. #terrorism #violence #insurrection #extremism https://t.co/o2Rxgmv8gT
The two were identified, according to the affidavit, after a co-worker of Hunter Seefried told the FBI that Hunter had “bragged about being in the Capitol with his father on January 6, 2021.
What's terrifying about the GOP silently supporting Matt Gaetz (loudly on Fox News) is not only that he is clearly getting indicted for indefensible wrongdoing, but that he's ... totally expendable! They want to keep even their grossest, most easily replaceable members.

Is there no middle ground between executing someone for pretending to honk a sleeping woman’s boobs and this?!!!
BREAKING: A House ethics panel has opened an investigation of U.S. Rep. Matt Gaetz, citing reports of sexual and other misconduct by the Florida Republican. Gaetz has not been charged with a crime and has denied any wrongdoing. https://t.co/5bwK0S3FM7
— The Associated Press (@AP) April 9, 2021
Speaking of Gaetz: He is awful and deserves to be prosecuted for whichever laws he broke, but a few points: The Daily Beast embarrassingly referred to one of his alleged sex partners as someone "whose name we are withholding" because she had only turned 18 six months BEFORE the encounter. (Um, there's an age of consent for a reason -- you don't get to try to make it seem worse than it is with moralizing judgments like this.) Secondly, I'm not sure the intent of the sex-trafficking law was (or should have been) your own sex partners. Lastly, if the women whose Seeking Arrangement ads Gaetz and friend Joel Greenberg were responding to were of age, aren't we getting into "shaming sex workers and their johns" grounds here? If the men misused funds to pay for these encounters, that's a problem. But not if they paid with their own money. Just wish people would focus on the actual issues here -- there seem to be plenty of them without piling on.
Sadly, @BenSasse is right about Biden not having the votes to change SCOTUS. The senator might want to rethink his use of the term "court packing," however ... pic.twitter.com/BsOyG0qarP
— Kenneth M. Walsh (@kenneth212) April 9, 2021
Sen. Ben Sasse (R., Neb.) dismissed the commission as a pointless exercise. “President Biden knows that he doesn’t even have the votes in his own party to pack the court; he knows that court packing is a nonstarter with the American people; and he knows that this commission’s report is just going to be a taxpayer-funded door stopper,” he said.

I still don't understand my progressive brothers and sisters on this. These kids may very well be horrible people -- one of them went on to speak at the f**king GOP convention. But anyone who has examined the videos or has taken even a cursory look at the facts knows they really didn't do anything wrong -- the Black Hebrew Israelites verbally assaulted them, then the Native American "victim" lied about everything -- and running around smearing these kids because you are projecting what you think they must have been thinking probably wasn't the right thing to do. Both CNN and the Washington Post -- with all the protections American media enjoy -- settled with Nick "I smirked because I was in an incredibly uncomfortable situation so I must be a monster' Sandmann for a reason. I'm not saying Kathy owes them any money. But the media got it wrong and so did she, so I'm not sure gloating is the way to go here. (Now can we never think of them again?)
