And this, my friends, is when threading the needle morphs into freakin’ that chicken.

Whatever you say, sir. So they are both losing their heads AND doing what’s necessary. Good luck with that one.

Overreacting? M’kay. I mean, it’s not like this is related to national security or anything. It’s not like extortion of a foreign leader using taxpayer funds is a big deal or anything.

Republicans are not reacting to this. However, if a Democrat was serviced in the Oval Office, they are shocked, shocked about the behavior.

Sex scandals are all that matters to the GOP. And now those don’t matter, either.

I think you meant to say “Democratic scandals are all that that matters to the GOP”. Republicans can do whatever they want, they are the Chosen People to lead this land to prosperity (for the 0.1%) or something like that.

We’ll get plenty of this, the Republicans will be desperate to keep the Democrats from investigating anything because it will hurt their 2020 results. It’s not going to help them, this is too clear of an issue for people outside Trump’s base to let it go, and there is far more stuff to be found that will make it worse.

I think maybe the difference is that as long as you pay in cash, it’s OK.

Especially if they were simultaneously conducting an illicit affair with a (vampire) bat-faced aide to a Wisconsin Representative, one that was common knowledge among virtually everyone on Capitol Hill, while expressing both his disgust and his moral superiority.

On the other hand, they may be busy dealing with all the investigations coming at them.
