Man, between this and the slavery comment, you know he’s gunning for a presidential run in the near future.

Not saying I approve, but this is probably the least awful thing I’ve heard about him. I couldn’t be less surprised his name would slow up there.

What does shock me is how the GOP manages to field such a deep bench of absolutely terrible people. Every single one of them is more vile than the last.

Pretty sure most of them think breaking the law (and getting away with it) is some sort of power move, or something to strive for. And they mostly expect to get away with it because of privilege or privilege-by-association.

Ashley Madison is a website that was like eHarmony or match.com but for people that wanted cheat on their spouses. They got hacked like a decade ago and the user list with emails and names and shit was publicly released.

as a longtime fan of Dan Savage, I don’t care if you have an extramarital affair, with maybe some conditions regarding the health and safety of kids, etc. And Ashley Madison was obviously a dumb web site to be avoided.

But watching this guy, the “black Nazi” Mark Robinson, get burned by his own ghosts is amazing to watch. this is way better than when John Edwards crashed, and that guy was almost VP.
