I was reading on Twitter where a Fellow Citizen said Pete hadn't given back money that someone who knew Epstein donated to him, therefore Pete supports pedophilia. I don't get it. That is not how the transitive property of equality works unless you are Sir Galahad trying to remain Pure. Meanwhile a gay friend of mine can't stand Pete because Pete said God made him gay, which is equal to saying he would never have chosen it for himself, which is equal to being against gays. What the hell. Just be against Pete because he's in over his head. Don't add some personal, obtuse fucking moral premise that you don't even apply to yourself. Keep your Presbyterianism out of this shit. EPSTEIN, MAIL ME $70K, I WILL TELL PEOPLE YOU WERE ONLY A HEBEPHILE AND THAT IS NOT SO BAD. We are not electing a Galahad, we are electing a horse trader. Let's get the best horse trader. The one who will ruthlessly bargain the GOP down to bare pennies, then after winning the sale, sneak into McConnell's home and knife him dead anyway.

There is no horse trading since Congress decided that pork was bad. That was when horse trading was important. There is no horse trading today

This is a valid point. It ain't like it used to be, and this is yet another reason "all politics is local" has given way to more of an "even the Poughkeepsie PTA president is going to get elected based on what Fox News says about homelessness in San Francisco."
