Our Speaker of the House has a message about Private Citizen Matt Gaetz (meme image)



It's almost like...

There's two sets of laws
There's two sets of moral principles

Their hypocrisy knows no bounds

Hypocritical Republicans have always held themselves to a different set of rules.
Remember McConnell at the end of President Obama’s term said they couldn’t vote on his Supreme Court nominee, but Trump’s Supreme Court nominee had to be voted on asap even though the dumpster had less time left in his term than Obama did. To make it even worse McConnell touted his hypocrisy as something to be proud of. They all make me want to puke.

... that their words and actions are recorded for the nation and the world to see? Of course they do; they just don't give a shit. They know that the vast majority of their "base' of room-temperature IQs read at a 3rd-grade level, if they ever read at all, so they'll never review their voting records to discover that what little legislation they ever pass benefits only themselves and their filthy rich donors, and certainly not The Great Unwashed, their constituencies.
Their moronic "Culture Wars" only serve to keep the hoi polloi riled up and distracted, so they can go about their nefarious business unnoticed. And their fevered opposition to "DEI" and "WOKE" ideology just exposes them for what they truly are: irredeemably vile and selfish people.
