Things that made you Facepalm today (Political Version)

I dunno... I think they should summarily execute animal abusers. Probably not a good judge of how long someone like this belongs in jail.

I'm 100% serious btw. Animal abusers should be hung in public, immediately.

This is correct. Even if the animal in question was a chihuahua.

Matt Shea...report highlighting him being involved in domestic terrorism. Unsurprisingly tgo silent on that.

Not a ton is known at this moment, is there?

if true, he should resign when the VA Governor, AG and Canadian PM resign.

Recent domestic terrorism is way worse than a 50 year old photo.

Shea was suspended from the state House Republican Caucus Thursday evening, advised by members of both parties to resign and will be removed from his committee assignments.

Sounds like there was plenty.

I literally have no idea who that even is, I only read important news, like Trump saying mean things at a rally.

So he's been tried and found guilty in a court of law? Because... innocent until proven guilty and all, amirite?

Or is that only applicable to liberal snowflakes?

The Republican House leadership immediately called for Shea’s resignation, suspended him from the party caucus and removed him from his ranking position on the House Environment and Energy Committee.

Just looked this guy up, apparently this news just broke today.

Since I'm apparently supposed to report on all of the Republicans accused of wrong doing you must be in charge of reporting on all of the wrong doings of Democrats, and boy are you behind!

Namely there are about a half dozen Democrats within the past couple of years accused of embezzlement, stealing from a charity (actual stealing from a charity and not bullshit like in Trump's case but the media accused him of stealing anyways), bribery, or other assorted graft crimes.

The Lt Gov of Virginia is a rapist.

Or how about the Virginia state senator who is a convicted sex offender for having sex with a minor and lost his law license due repeated ethical violations.

That's all just off the top of my head.

You're way behind on your reporting, Alfster! Get to it!

So.. sounds like Republicans hold their caucus responsible for their actions while Democrats only do it if it's absolutely necessary.. and even then.. if it results in a loss of any power... then maybe not...

This is correct.

I heard a local democrat politician did something bad. Unsurprisingly Alfster’s silent about that.
