Quite. And a GOP Senator in a solid red state, a ‘Christian’, who belittled the murders, still sits, uncensored.

That would require a degree of self-reflection, humility, responsibility, and integrity. From experience of Boris Johnson’s government in the UK, it’s not happening.

Oh, I think Trump, Netanyahu and Putin between them may preempt this. What a time to be alive…

Nor can I. Sadly, millions do. This is a direct consequence of the moral relativism introduced by Reagan relaxing the fairness in broadcasting regulations in the 80s, opening the doors to infantilism and lifting the rock off God knows what else…

Resign? Sadly, he faces zero electoral consequence in this post-moral political climate. They’d vote for Hitler. Actually, they did…

This is worse. There are no depths, none, to which he and his party (e.g. Mike Lee) won’t sink. The terrible thing is there is zero electoral consequence. Enough voters, it seems, are still as amoral and evil as he is.

It’s not that it’s not concerned. It’s just that with Trump, Putin, Xi and the bad North Korean joke also having access, it’s suffering from apocalypse fatigue.

Not only is it offensive, it makes no sense whatsoever. Sadly there is no chance of this piece of trash losing his seat.

The 77.3 million voted knowing full well what he was, and is. It was on tv for every voter with access to one and with functioning synapses. He was a convicted felon. They have no moral compass whatsoever. So, yes.

It’s a shame that Youngkin managed to eke out a governorship win in Democratic VA by pandering to parental anti-teacher prejudice. As a spouse of a teacher, I see similar ignorant sentiments being deployed by the Right in the UK.

Irony or self-awareness is not in their collective ‘mind’-set, alas.

If only. What little evidence there is suggests that ‘God’, if it exists, absolutely loves Trump and his ilk. I write as a lapsed Catholic who broke the habit of many years and actually went to church last year to pray for his defeat. Never, ever again.

Ah, but they need to grow a spine or a moral compass. Johnson. Answered that for you.

Not soon enough. For him or Putin, Netanyahu or Orban.

A sycophant of the most obnoxious, contemptible, and pathetic kind.

And yet he’s in post, thanks in no small measure to cowards like Senators Collins and Murkowski.

Or they don’t care, or are as evil themselves. Certainly amoral - to have put him in again.

The worst of it is that this abomination still has three and a half years. And if he falls, the world gets Vance.

Look at Johnson, MTG, Broebert, Jordan, Graham, Hawley… There, sadly, is the ‘answer’.

Btw I'm not 100% sure that Miller and Mike Myers' ‘Doctor Evil’ have ever been seen in the same room.

Yes. A truly simpering pathetic excuse for a human. Who’d have thought that one day we’d be looking at Mike Pence as a pillar of integrity and courage?

‘Conservatives of conscience’? Sadly an oxymoron, especially these days.

Quite. What does that say about those who voted for him, especially in 2024? Or who didn’t vote? Nothing good.

That’s assuming that any GOP member in either chamber has a spine. Right…

Quite. An obnoxious hypocrite, coward, and sycophant of the purest kind. He’s even worse than Rubio. What an ‘achievement’.

I’ll believe that if she loses her next re-election bid. From experience, GOP voters, with the predictable reliability of Pavlov’s dog, just keep putting the likes of her, MTG, Broebert, Hawley et al in. And the more obnoxious they are, the better.
