Namely that time when the GOP tried to overthrow the rightfully elected and re-elected POTUS for cheating on his wife which hadn’t happened in like…never. I would go out on a limb to say that the philanders are in the minority (FDR, Harding, Ike, LBJ, JFK and Bush the Elder) since a couple were not around in the job long enough to try (William Harrison and Garfield) or couldn’t get it up any more (St. Reagan, Bush the Coke Addict). Many have been despicable but cheating on their spouses wasn’t on the list (Jackson, Johnson, Buchanan and Fillmore).
Today it’s pathetic how same political party dodging and sabotaging the hearings at every turn in which a violent mob could’ve installed their Ammosexual Republic of Gilead wasn’t millions on somebody getting a blow job from an intern. Oh you’ll hear them dust off their moldy chestnuts of…”This isn’t about sex, it’s about lying under oath!” Uh huh, like all the shit bags Bush the Elder pardoned for the Iran-Contra Affair before he bailed from his loss in 1992? How St. Reagan’s Alzheimer’s suddenly became convenient too? Uh huh, like how Tricky Dick used government agencies to spy on political enemies which is behavior we shame the third world for? Let’s not forget how the asshole leading the charge to push Slick Willie out was busy fucking his now third wife the back of his second one and to top it off, the Vatican lost even more credibility letting said third wife be the US ambassador. Let’s also not forget, one of the main Republicans calling the hearing a kangaroo court, protected a known sexual predator in Ohio. Let’s not forget there’s another one from Florida who is a sexual predator dumb enough to pay off his victims with Venmo. Let’s not forget another from Colorado who married a sexual predator who whipped out his junk at underage girls in a bowling alley.
As for Slick Willie, I was pretty done with him by the time he went into super Lame Duck mode and got too busy sucking up to build his so-called library in a town he probably avoids. He’s guilty for many things, namely converting the Dems into the GOP Lite via his triangulation crap. We already knew he cheated on his incompetent and egotistical beard during the 1992 primaries, yet the Dems circled the wagons around him when I thin Jerry Brown would’ve governed better. Here’s the other thing the GOP and the Believe Women Even When Particular Ones Are Lying Fanatics (Tara Reade, Crystal Magnum and Warren Harding’s numerous mistresses) proliferate upon despite it being utter bullshit, Monica Lewinsky wasn’t a “child.” She was 23 and willingly screwed her drama teacher in high school. I’m pretty confident she turned pro at her alma mater Lewis & Clark, so Monica had way more in common with Nancy Reagan than Artemisia Gentileschi. I have little sympathy for her too. Afterwards, she walked away making a shit load more money than I ever did after graduation and has never really had to sweat where or when the next paycheck comes from; she got invited to a TED (Totally Enthralling Demagogues) talk which pays at least half my annual salary.
Again, my point remains how our government and its pathetically outdated parties cripple progress while simultaneously killing the world through Puritanical obsessions.
