re: #149 Yeah Sure WhatEVs

Oh yeah! They would have flown under the radar as unknown-outside-of-Tennessee bumpkins before but not no more. I’m giving the Speaker a couple weeks at best before he’s gone. The feds are investigating him due to PopularInfo’s reporting for bulking the taxpayers for travel and per diem and living where he doesn’t represent (against TN law), something that never would have happened had they not pulled their stunt.

The sex with an intern guy just resigned (not sure if it’s due to the sun shining on their little stunt or not) but these guys made the big time and being republicans, they’re crooks, so yeah, they are. And it’s fucking glorious.

I mean, I see what you’re saying, but there’s no direct consequences for their actions. Nobody’s saying they want to vote these fuckers out. There are no calls for resignations from outraged constituents. The only thing we’re seeing is scandalous backstories being dragged up by investigative journalists who suddenly have an interest in controversial figures. There’s no real “there” there.
