MugsysRapSheet 🔩🐑🐘<p>I CAN'T STOP THINKING ABOUT how in 2000, after <a href="https://mastodon.social/tags/Dubya" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#<span>Dubya</span></a> "won" the election, <a href="https://mastodon.social/tags/Republicans" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#<span>Republicans</span></a> cheered:</p><p>"The adults are finally back in charge!"</p><p>…in reference to Pres. Clinton's sexual scandal(s) (plural if you include every pre-WH sex scandal they could dig up from his past.)</p><p>25 years later, does it seem like "The adults are in charge"? We have an Administration run by <a href="https://mastodon.social/tags/KnowNothings" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#<span>KnowNothings</span></a> and unqualified ass-kissers, led by a narcissistic former reality-TV show host who's dumber than a bag of wet hair.</p>
