From that wedding photo we all thought that Mnuchin's wife was like, some kinda horrible Stepford mail-order bride situation. Bu t the more we see and hear about the couple, the more I think they're genuinely in love.

I'm not even joking, they both seem completely horrible in the same way. It's like in comic books when there's a romance Between Madame Hydra and Baron Zemo or whatever

Who do they replace him with if he resigns? Sadly another Amy Klobuchar. Not saying he shouldnt, but unless they appoint Ellison to the seat we get another centrist rear end in a top hat wrt to the economy.

Lamenting what is.

although probably not true, the rumors of womanizing might be enough to deter a keith appointment to this seat given the nature of what's going on with franken

as answers go I don't think it beats out "well, jesus's dad hosed underage kids so it's okay if Moore does too"

I mean the Franken stuff is alarming and I'm sure we're going to see some really cringey defenses of the indefensible, but a standard "well I don't remember it but I apologize if you were offended by my harmless joke that was just fine" doesn't even make the top 10 bad answers in tyolt 2017

You know, maybe gen X politicians aren't as doomed as I thought, at least the men.

Boomers sexually harassed women and thought it was fine, so they didn't care about being photographed while doing it.

Xers sexually harassed women, but knew it was socially unacceptable. So they didn't take pictures of it.

Millennials also sexually harassed women and knew it was socially unacceptable, but nevertheless recorded it for posterity because they physically cannot stop themselves from documenting everything digitally.

Looks like Xers hit the sweet spot, for once. Every male politician who can't recite the lyrics to every track on Nevermind and/or All Eyez On Me will be purged.
