and accurate.

Recently, when a friend posted the reports of Kasket Petal's history of alcohol-related arrests, a maga reacted with, "He was just a kid. We all were stupid as teens." I pointed out that he was in his twenties. More, I "agreed" that it is a good thing this administration highlights the disease of alcoholism. Every other disease has advocates and special days, but not alcoholism. There is so much discrimination in the workplace against those people who come to work shit-faced. And police don't arrest sober drivers, courts take away drivers' licences, and insurance companies refuse to insure them. That doesn't happen with any other disease. So it's great this administration has faith that Pirro, Petal, and Hegseth can do their jobs despite being raging alcoholics.
