Also there’s the Open Skies treaty, which our former Chimp in Command decided to pull out of. Is it any surprise that the people panicking about it are all from his party?

Meanwhile our current level-headed government is just saying “Yeah, we know about it, we’re watching it watch us.” and that’s really all that needs to be said. Because it’s not a threat. And before president Cheeto, that was just normal. We were a member of a treaty that said they could do that.

The only reason we’re not anymore is because of that dumbass. And he’s no longer in charge, so his decisions don’t really matter that much. Even other countries understand that.

But right wing media really likes to get people worked up over nothing. That’s how they get their ratings and ad money.

“Given the fact that he’s under ethics investigation, he should be sitting in the back row and staying quiet instead of parading in front of the president and the people coming into the room,” he said.

Mr Romney added that if Mr Santos “had any shame at all, he wouldn’t be there”.

Maybe that’ll knock some sense into him.

The video at the linked articles says “Schumer offers prayers for McConnell”. They didn’t put quotes around “prayers”, so I wonder if it was sarcastic or not?

“We’re not the party of cancel culture,” a current Florida state Republican lawmaker told Politico. “We can’t keep doing this tit for tat.”

Ah, BS. The right’s been doing cancel culture since before it had a name.

My first thought was the early Motion Picture Production Code, but I’m fairly certain there’s other many other things they’ve tried to stamp out before that.
