Well, when you put it that way, we need to accommodate some big guys — not just a bunch of women.

Photo of Donald Trump and Elon Musk selling Teslas at the White House. Caption: "I was sure that they were selling something: bonds or insurance or automobiles. They were at least agonizingly aware of the easy money in the vicinity and convinced that it was theirs for a few words in the right key." #GatsbyAt100

Image of JD Vance speaking. Caption is "His speaking voice, a gruff husky tenor, added to the impression of fractiousness he conveyed. There was a touch of paternal contempt in it, even toward people he liked -- and there were men at New Haven who hated his guts." #GatsbyAt100

What a difference 10 years (and gallons of cowardice) can make! Heritage puts the "peas" in "appeasement."

This is all going just splendidly.

2017: So livid is then-Rep Todd Rokita that he co-sponsors Matt Gaetz's HRes477, a blistering demand for a special counsel for Hillary Clinton's "mishandling of classified data and use of an unauthorized email server."

Like much of Todd, his position on secure data has softened since then.
Description of HRes477 from Congress.gov: "H.Res.477 - Expressing the sense of the House of Representatives that a special counsel should be appointed by the Attorney General or his designee to investigate misconduct by former Attorney General Loretta Lynch and former Federal Bureau of Investigation Director James B. Comey with regard to the investigation of former Secretary of State Hillary Clinton for mishandling of classified data and use of an unauthorized email server."
