Someone want to go check the Baconator's congressional voting record over the last 12 months or so?

I'll wait.

Huh, if only there was some way to prevent this kind of thing. Maybe a system of... oh, I don't know... CHECKS AND BALANCES?

Like a check on the executive branch's powers so that no one branch fucks the country like a young vulnerable girl on Epstein Island? Do you think that would bring balance? Inconceivable.

Tell him it will make him a black, gay, disabled, immigrant woman! With bad teeth and allergic to diet coke!
