I really wish I lacked morals, these guys seem like they're having a great time at everyone else's expense.

Honestly I prefer this.

GOP grifters spending money at strip clubs? Sure.

Actual brain worms GOP spending money to sponsor book bans and bathroom usage for trans kids? Fuck that.

Fox News doesn’t cover things like this unless they are a democrat.
