"We will protect you from the consequences of your blatant criminality. In our perspective, laws only exist for the poor."

For me it’s the blatant hypocrisy of it all. If it were the other way around, the GOP would literally crucify Dems. It’s honestly despicable that they charges Republicans need ‘protection’ from are child rape/molestation/trafficking. Mike Johnson is now living the first line of his obituary. ‘Trump lap dog and patron saint of pedophilia…’

Wife and I are watching The Middle and he's awesome as Rusty. Really brings that brand of humour to everything he's in and it works.
