I know this is terrible to say, but when I first saw the pic I assumed this would be about a GOP someone. So shame on me, trafficking in stereotypes.

It won't help much as far as getting rid of Sasse. And the runner up can't run. So it's a FUBAR situation.

People are the worst.I have to often remind myself that they are also the best. Though usually not at the same time.I've called down my own family members for cryin' out loud, and they've learned to at least shut it in my hearing.AND still ask me to Christmas every year

To go theological for a moment: in theory, Christianity is supposed to be a reconciliation of the fact that everyone's a bit garbage with the idea that everyone can do better and become a decent person. But American Evangelical Christianity has boiled that down to: "I can be as shitty as I like, JEEBUS forgave me"

*the biggest hell-raisers.

I actually envy them because forgiveness isn't free. Sure it's the prayer equivalent of writing lines on a chalkboard but you don't just walk into a confessional and walk out pardoned, you're given homework.

... I was raised Catholic and envied the Protestants who didn't have to go to confession because Jesus forgave everything always in advance
