      The good news is this is illegal.

      The bad news is Republicans probably don’t care.

            Literally, who’s going to stop them?

            There’s so much stuff that’s absolutely illegal happening and nobody is stopping them. Being illegal or not is irrelevant if no one enforces it.

            Oh, this one’s easy the way I understand things work now.

            He is both former AND current, so fire up the mint.
