      “When you’re a star, they let you do it”

      The Republican party, and a shocking number of people in general, are perfectly fine with whatever. They don’t actually have any kind of genuine moral or ethical system. I feel like such a fucking old man now talking like this but goddamn is it gross that a guy who paid children for sex is going to be the Attorney General, that is not how it worked when I grew up. I mean, it was how it worked but if you got caught that was it. Everyone shunned you and your career in public service was over, you had to go work as a lobbyist or sit on some corporate boards and keep your head down.

      Im sure that means his career is over, right?

      Correct!

      He’s been promoted to a different career.

      I mean, it might make it ever so slightly harder for him to be confirmed by the Senate…maybe?
