My favorite version of the phrase would be “morally flexible”. ---

I hope that Raphael Warnock wins the election but I also hope that doesn’t stop Herschel Walker from speaking his mind, because it’s fantastically entertaining. ---

Yes, “renting the neighbor’s kid” to see a film with you is a surefire way not to look like a creepy weirdo. ---

Just goggled it, looks like it is a “retro” thing sold by most on-line T-shirt makers. Unless there is a group favoring the original Cassius Marcellus Clay (who, while a slaveholder early on, was also firmly for emancipation): [Cassius Marcellus Clay (politician) - Wikipedia](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Cassius_Marcellus_Clay_(politician)) ---

You get all the committees even, they just stall things within there. So if we keep a check on Joe Biden, we just going to keep a check on him.” Ay yi yi. The stupid is strong in this one. How is this a close election? I am honestly perplexed. I mean, I get the partisan urge to vote AGAINST the other side, regardless of who you’re voting FOR. I’ve been know to say I’d vote for a dead maggoty squirrel before I’d vote for a live MAGA-ty nut. But c’mon, man! Walker is clueless to an insane level. ---

Yeah, but someone running for office usually doesn’t wear things by accident. They’re stage managed so as to send out exactly the message they want. And I could see the party that hates “pronouns” and using people’s new names deciding to refuse new names based on religious conversions, as well as gender re-assignments. Plus, anti-Islam to boot; two bigotries with one T-shirt! ---
