Why is always the most extreme republicans than end up being the biggest scum bags?

So Bryan Slaton a state senator in Texas, who ran on an extreme family value platform,  anti-LGBT position, and anti-abortion positions, was booted from the Texas legislature in a 147 - 0 vote.  This now ex-Senator decided to have sex with a 19-year-old intern after plying her with a massive amount of booze.  Oh, and he thinks that this is all normal...really that's the GOP in Texas.  It tells you everything you need to know.  

So many things are wrong with this guy... it's a sad cliche it's always the rabid that are the guiltiest.  Remember Bill Clinton's main accuser of having an affair (not to whitewash Clinton), but the guy who went after him was Newt Gingrich...he would speak about family values etc etc,  Newt was on his second marriage (due to his infidelity) and was actually cheating on his second wife (with the women who would eventually become #3), and had been his mistress for a number of years.

Lets be clear a party that supports a New York elected congressman who lied about everything on his resume is still getting the support of the party.

what people get wrong about tariffs

 The issue is simple. What percentage of the economy is dependent on tariff goods? The truth, is that the US economy is far more closed than people understand. People genuinely believe that all manufacturing has ceased to exist in the United States all given to China on the altar of woke policy the truth can be further from That statement. Only about 15% of US GDP is related to foreign trade. Of that amount, slightly more than half is from Canada in Mexico. And half of that is energy. What that means, is that about 7% of US GDP is tariff dependent. The proof in the pudding, is how little money tariff generates. People think that 30 or 50 billion is a lot it’s not in an economy that has $3 trillion. The impact on the US economy will be less visible but not absent. Inflation hasn’t occurred yet first because tests have hardly started to bite, but more importantly it’s such a small percent of the economy. Now certain things are critical. The rare earth metals from China were critical....

Trump and Venezuela...

The US now owns Venezuela…and not in a good way.  America is not known for its nation building skills, and yet it now owns the disaster that is Venezuela.   Starvation and exodus are the natural progression.   In addition it will become a haven for narco-terrorists, more so than it already was. I am sure that Trump and his friends really thought that little attack very well…I guess that he will now attack Iran now.

Demographics

 I am preparing a kind of family tree for our children so that they know where they came from.  In my family I am the only survivor, although my brother and sister died recently they were both in their seventies (a story I told already).    It was a fun process, but it provided more than that.  First, I married relatively young I was 26 when I married and nearly 30 when our first child was born.   I was looking at my ancestors.  On my mother's side, she had 6 siblings, Four died before the age of 30, two in war, and two from illnesses.  Only she and a single sister survived.   The two boys had a child each but they died in WWII, and the other sister died as an infant.   what is interesting is that every one of my mother's siblings had children in their early 20s.   I know that my mom was hardly 20 when my brother was born.    What is remarkable is that among our friends, we are the only ones to have fou...
