This tells you how far our government has fallen. This is literally the definition of revenge porn, using these pictures to intimidate, humiliate, and embarrass both Hunter Biden and his father. This woman should have been immediately dragged out of the House in handcuffs and charged with too many federal and state charges for me to count.
This isn’t a political stunt. There were multiple crimes committed here. If Hunter Biden somehow stumbled upon MTG in similarly embarrassing photos and started publishing them all over Twitter, she’d be screaming about the weaponization of government by the Biden crime family and demanding that Hunter be immediately sent to Gitmo.
This is a new low, even for the GOP. Even for MTG. But sadly, it shouldn’t be surprising. The entire GOP is on a gleeful race to the bottom to see who can out-crazy who. MTG is a national embarrassment.
While I respect the sentiment, Charles Sumner was once beaten within an inch of their life on the floor of Congress for delivering a scathing abolitionist speech.
We’re not quite at our lowest point yet, but it is scary how close we are coming.
Unfortunately while that sounds great in theory, practically speaking any like kind of restriction can be weaponized by bad actors to disqualify opposition. Who defines “mentally fit”?
If explicitly standardized, who sets the standard? How does the standard get ratified? Can that standard be “gamed”?
If deferred to some official, who appoints that official? What stops them from declaring as unfit anyone who doesn’t agree with their personal politics?
Common sense ideas like this break down when you try to figure out how to actually implement then without causing even bigger problems. If political history has taught us anything, it is the foolishness inherent in expecting political officials to execute their duties in good faith.

The fact that you had to go back almost two centuries to find an example of someone worse says all that needs to be said.
Literally back to right before the civil war lmao
TIL
His attacker resigned and was immediately reelected, as well as gifted more canes with which to beat Sumner.
Fuck fascists. They will never change.
All y’all will get me 100 Nazi scalps, taken from the heads of 100 dead Nazis…or you will die tryin.
“Let’s treat them with kid gloves, that worked out well last time!”
A cane with his fucking face on it too.
Should have been removed years ago. What a disgrace.
She’s yet another reason why we need regular psych evals for people in office. You should be mentally fit to hold the position.

Too true, unfortunately. We’d end up with witch trials immediately, and I could see someone like MTG leading the charge!
