So wait…. Saying things shouldn’t get you fired from your job? Guess we’re free to have random spurts about Charlie Kirk.

Did they rush to defend freedom of speech after Charlie Kirk turned into a fountain?

Showing that there are republicans that don't know that they're nazis yet, and the nazis don't want to be outed as nazis to those people.

In a 2022 text exchange between Democratic candidate for attorney general Jay Jones and Del. Carrie Coyner, R-Chester, Jones said that in a hypothetical scenario with former Virginia House Speaker Todd Gilbert, Adolph Hitler and Pol Pot he would shoot Gilbert twice.

This joke is older than I am. But Vance says it's worse!

And this is why we so fucking always lose. Jones out there mumble-fucking apologies instead of simply saying, "It's an old joke. You know that? Right?!", and the Dems backing him up. Nope.

Al Franken inappropriately touches some woman's ass, he's out! Meanwhile, the Republicans send up a rapist.
