Quote of the Day
“Churchill says somewhere, “The Muse of History must not be fastidious.” The muse of politics must not be too fastidious either. We’re not talking here about some slight improprieties. We’re not really even talking about ‘he said/she said’. We’re looking at indisputably gross and grotesque behavior by Matt Gaetz, Pete Hegseth, and Robert F. Kennedy Jr. It’s true that Trump got elected despite similar behavior. But should we compound the damage by turning a blind eye to the actions of his minions? If the top crime boss gets away with things, isn’t it still worth holding his henchmen responsible?”
The sex scandals of Trump nominees Gaetz, Hegseth, and Kennedy.
