Just when you think MAGA Republicans can't go too much lower, they do.
Nebraska state senator Steve Halloran went way too far when he verbally sexually attacked State Senator Machaela Cavanaugh in a debate about keeping obscenity out of schools.
Holloran read an explicit passage of Alice Sebold's book Lucky about a woman who was brutally raped and how it changed her life.
At one point, as he read “I want a blow job,” he actually added the words, “Senator Cavanaugh,” and looked up for emphasis.
If he worked in almost company in America, his MAGA ass would have been fired but not in Nebraska's legislature. As of now he faces no discipline.
Donald Trump and MAGA Republicans have no respect for women. And sane women have no respect for them.

@ukrainiansquad Yes, & President Biden does too—he spoke about y’all & about arming Ukraine tonight too. If our stupid Republicans would think for themselves, they’d get the bill up before the House & pass the damn thing.
@NicolleDWallace@DemWoman Nicolle, Trump SOUGHT OUT Judge Cannon—people couldn’t believe he went so far for her. There were plenty of judges closer to him but he went to her thinking she’d be more lenient & friendly to him since he had appointed her. And she has been.
@maddow@Lawrence@chrislhayes Well, I’m going to tear my voting card in half & write a letter to the court bitching at them for robbing me of my vote. It’s what a bunch of us did when the court declared Dubya the winner in 2000. I do know it bothered some of them. #stupidUSSC
@NicolleDWallace@DemWoman I wonder if we need to send our voter registration cards to the USSC like we did when the court chose to insert itself into Bush/Gore in 2000 & they first became unpopular??!!
BREAKING: Democratic Congressman Dan Goldman goes viral after he emerges from a closed door hearing and systematically shreds the sham MAGA inquiry into Hunter Biden with a fiery speech.
This is a real mic drop moment...
"I'll be brief. I want to be very clear, that first hour of this much-anticipated testimony was the nail in the coffin to what is a complete bogus and sham impeachment inquiry," said Goldman.
"Not only were they unable to show any connection between Hunter Biden's business and President Biden but Hunter Biden gave very detailed and clear explanations as to what his arm's-length business transactions were with private parties in foreign countries who are investors and business people like many people would have," Goldman went on.
"He went through a laundry list of board seats and jobs that he has had over his thirty year career after he left Yale Law School and he withstood some inappropriate attacks even in the first hour," said Goldman.
"So it is not simply that there's no connection to the president — which we've known all along and which was made clear again — but there is a very understandable, coherent business explanation for every single thing that they asked for," he added.
Once again, we see that Republicans invent scandals to distract the American people from that fact that they cannot and will not govern. Every single of these MAGA hacks should be voted out of office immediately.

@stuartpstevens@DemWoman From The 11th Hour: “I think Joe Biden…will win this race.” Did not get the whole quote accurately, but geez, Stuart, I surely felt better hearing this. From your lips to G-d’s ears.
@RichardTMurtagh@krassenstein Oh puleeeze,seems like you’re speaking about Afghanistan. What a clusterfuck he left us with! Said Taliban could be released at a point just after his troops left there AND gave them permission to release the prisoners before the replacements got there, fucking up everything.
BREAKING: Democratic Congressman Jamie Raskin goes for Donald Trump’s jugular and demands that he return the $7.8 million his companies corruptly received from foreign governments while he was president.
This is perfect…
Taking the gloves off, Raskin sent a letter demanding the money be returned after a bombshell report from the House Oversight and Accountability Committee revealed that Trump used the White House to enrich his companies.
Twenty different foreign countries funneled money into Trump businesses — including China and Saudi Arabia, a blatant violation of the Emoluments Clause of the Constitution.
"Your acceptance of foreign emoluments while in office was a stunning violation of the U.S. Constitution — and a profound betrayal of the interests of the United States and the trust of the American people," wrote Raskin.
Crucially, Raskin pointed out that the $7.8 million is just the tip of the iceberg because Republicans scuttled the investigation before it could uncover the full extent of the corruption.
"Critically, the report was unable to provide a full accounting of the total amount of foreign emoluments you accepted as President, and thus, was unable to determine precisely what you owe to the American people," Raskin wrote. "You spent years litigating against the Committee to prevent us from obtaining any documents regarding the foreign emoluments you received while in office."
Raskin put the problem in simple terms: these countries gave money to Trump's companies because they wanted "favors and specific policy outcomes from" Trump and his administration, many of which they obtained.
Returning the money is a good start, but justice will not be served until Trump is prosecuted for turning the White House into a personal moneymaking scam.
