    “Were you on drugs when you were on the Burisma board?” prompted Gaetz.

    “Mr. Gaetz, look me in the eye. You really think that’s appropriate to ask me?” Biden replied.

    “Absolutely,” Gaetz said.

    “Of all the people sitting around this table, do you think that’s appropriate to ask me?” Biden spit back.

    It seems like politics draws in a lot of flawed people generally, but Republicans have been electing an amazing number of absolutely horrible human beings. Gaetz, Green, Bobert, Cruz, Jordan, Santos… oh, and of course Trump. Lots more. Just really, really bad people.

      Politicians often reflect the wishes of the people who vote them in. I don’t think it’s a coincidence that “only the threat of hell keeps people from doing bad things” Christians tend to vote republican.

        Why is he a piece of shit? Seems he’s a middlingly-successful lawyer who had an addiction problem, just like tens of millions of other people. Being an addict doesn’t make you a bad person, just like having the flu doesn’t.
