        Call me old fashioned, but back in my day, we didn't curse at our rivals, we took them hunting and shot them in the face. And if that didn't work, we tortured them.

        👍🏻. Btw, she said it at a private party, not on the floor of the House. Absolute #non-issue

        It was a presser with journalists present. She had a microphone. Cheney's language was not in front of press and was a person to person conversation without a microphone.

        Cheney's remarks were on the hallowed senate floor and not private.

        It was a side conversation between him and Leahy. He wasn't talking in front of press or with a microphone.

        A side conversation on our dime. He was on the Senate floor so he was on the clock. Doesn't matter if there was a camera or microphone.

        So, you do think that was the only side conversation on the Senate floor that contained bad language. LOL There's a difference between cursing in a side conversation on the Senate floor with no microphone or press, and doing it at a public event with press and microphone.

        More fake outrage from the party that brought you fake patriotism. At some point, I keep expecting the GOP to hit the shame wall, but it doesn't seem like it will ever happen.

        They eat shame for breakfast. With a side of crispy, golden-brown morality and a big steaming cup of our children's future.
