A state senator in Tennessee urinated on himself while taking a field sobriety test, according to reports and video from the incident. Sen. Ken Yager, a 77-year-old Republican representing a district in the north of his state, was pulled over by a Georgia State trooper around 5 p.m. on Tuesday on suspicion his vehicle was involved in a hit-and-run the same day.

    Wow, guys, I’m just so surprised it turned out to be a Republican doing the depraved shit from the headline which failed to mention a party. I tell you, one of these days that heuristic will be wrong, just you wait.

        Democrats do depraved shit every once in a while, but I feel like because it’s so prevalent in Republicans, “Democratic” always seems to crop up in the headline when that happens. Definitely could be confirmation bias, though.

          They do, but they face calls to resign within the fucking hour the news breaks. Republicans circle wagons.
