This is the best excuse I’ve heard since “I just have a wide stance when I go to the bathroom”.

The IRS scandal came to a pathetic, whimpering conclusion earlier this month. For half a decade the scandal had kept delinquent members of Congress occupied and served up reliable programming to Fox News and other conservative media. But when Internal Revenue Service Commissioner John Koskinen walked out of his office on Nov. 9, of his own volition, on schedule, his fine reputation intact, the whole greasy production quietly expired.
When President Barack Obama appointed Koskinen in 2013, the Republicans had been swinging at the IRS for some time. A band of House Republicans later attempted to impeach Koskinen, claiming various misdeeds. But it was a late-inning stunt, a too-obvious effort to extend a scandal that had served so many so well for so long.
Shortly before Koskinen left office, the Treasury Department Inspector General for Tax Administration released the (presumably) final report on the scandal. Like a previous Inspector General report, it tried to soothe Republican feelings – the IRS really, really should’ve handled things differently – while utterly refuting Republican charges about what had transpired.
New Doug Jones TV spot. (Ivanka, you know. Sessions isn’t just the sitting AG; this special election is for his old seat in Alabama, and Richard Shelby is the other senator in Alabama.)

How many of them were alphas?
CUCKS! All of them!
At least now we know why Congress doesn’t respect women’s health, rights or voices… they just don’t respect women, period all the way to the illegal levels.
Annnnnd he’s going with child molester.
Well, obviously we need those more.
There was never really any question.
Part of me wants him to get elected just so the media can ask in a year or two:
Moore, Moore, Moore: How do you like it? How do you like it?
In a year or two after he ruins everything.
Hopefully the picture is of him being struck down by a vengeful god. Or maybe violent castration.
All that is missing is the pizza joint in Birmingham where all these fuckwits come together and we have Republican Pizzagate…only for real this time.
What is happening is that his “inner socialist” isn’t socialist – it’s just not batshit insane. Same hold for his “inner feminist” and “inner liberal.” I don’t like the man, but maybe he’s just recognizing how far gone the GOP is at this point.
He definitely is in the group of folks that thinks the GOP has gone batshit crazy, and it drives him up the wall the conservatism is being tied to it.
