Yes, a pony would be better than a Trump 2nd term.

A punch in the nose would be better than a Trump 2nd term.

Very low bar there.

A Nuclear war would probably be worse.

I checked a few different sources. This appears to be real...Ugh.

Well, I guess Republicans think that if they can't get in on a child sex ring in a pizza shop basement, this is the next best thing...

This is a bill proposed in Tennessee. currently the minimum age for marriage in TN is 17. I'm under the impression that this bill was some sort of response to the present law that allows for same sex marriage. Perhaps leaving off the age requirement was simply an oversight.

I also think maybe its some kind of distraction or diversion. something for people to get excited and upset about while the Republicans get busy doing something awful.

that might be a good thread. What awful thing will Republicans do Next?

I was sort of thinking along the lines of Cocaine fueled orgies.

I'm very disappointed in the response to this, I was hoping that everyone would be posting their results and discussing them.

Matt Gaetz is an embarrassment to Florida!

Matt Gaetz is an embarrassment to Florida!

Well, to the whole country if not the world but yeah, Florida voted for him so you get to shoulder a little bit more responsibility.

Oh, I just realized that he should be our number one suspect for inviting Cawthorn and hosting cocaine fueled orgies.

Anyone want to weigh in on Romney? Other than the fact that he’s a Republican? He is anti trump so there’s that. For some reason I keep coming across stuff about him.

Perspective: The case for Romney 2024

With Democrats on the ropes and Republicans divided, will Utah Sen. Mitt Romney, former Massachusetts governor, consider running for president again?

It's an interesting debate, but I don't think he can get enough support within the hardcore based of voters to even win the primary. I think he would lose to Trump or even a mediocre Trump backed candidate. Some portions of Trumpian Republicans will view him as a traitor, a RINO. I suspect he's had his day.

I think this article comes from a biased liberal/left perspective. It's like conservatives telling Democrats that Joe Manchin could get centrist voters and win and become President. Even if true, it's just too bitter a pill for the Democrats to swallow, they'd rather lose. I suspect it's the same with Republicans and Romney as this point.

Perhaps a chance for Romney is that Trump decides not to run, no good Trumpian candidate comes forward, Republican voters, wake up from their delusional cult Trump madness a bit, and Trump-backed candidates do unexpectedly badly at the mid terms, with Democrats doing surprisingly well. But it's a long shot.
