What’s worse is that the guy at the center of this was recorded in an episode of Ira Glass’ This American Life admitting to doing this same thing during a hearing in NC back in 2016. It probably did not help that the guy worked on behalf of the Sheriff of the county he is accused of doing this in!

Too funny! I could not stop laughing about this for quite awhile. :)

Worms are vital composters and are responsible for that nice smell after a rainshower. Trump IS compost and stinks up American Politics like it has never stunk before. CW- I'm all for a do-over, but if the accused are convicted, I'd like to see the operatives doing hard time busting up rocks. That said, I believe they should still have right to vote, even if manacled together and making clanking noises as the shuffle into the booth. Paula- don't defame worms!

The Republicans will play it as a one-off, and take the mulligan. The good part is that it'll take awhile to work out who's oxen were gored, and how that'll reflect in the general election, in which one Republican will run... We could have an open seat for the better part of a year...tee hee. CW: This calls for a moment of unity between Republicans and Democrats.

DT should be impeached just for THIS - the disgraceful worm. Speculation is he's freaking out because of Mueller's Manafort filing due to tomorrow - he's supposedly been briefed.

There needs to be a do-over and the investigations taking place need to make public how far back this activity goes. The whole "story" started with the guy in NC saying this stuff has been reported multiple times with no result and this time they'd just had it and wouldn't certify. Yep.
