    He’s a Mormon. Sex is what matters to them.

      So January 6 should have been sexier? /s

        I suppose he acquitted Trump because the events of Jan 6th weren’t gay enough. Shirtless shaman guy got Sen. Romney slightly aroused but it didn’t quite meet the bar for his tastes. /s

        [Note update: He voted to acquit trump on only 1 of 3 charges]

          If memory serves, Romney voted to convict on both impeachments.

              Alright I concede that 2/3 is a passing grade, Romney.

        As long as you were only soaking and someone else jump-humped it doesn’t count. That’s the 2nd of God’s loopholes.

          He kept his special underwear on to protect him from the gay waves. Just remember to spit.

        Mormons of all sexualities have a lot of sex, especially when they’re teenagers. They just repress all of that later and feel super guilty about it.

          Teenagers are going to hump each others’ brains out. No religion will ever change that.

            Yep. It’s crazy to think that a person at the time in someone’s life when every single hormone in their body is saying, “FUCK SOMEONE! RIGHT NOW!” is usually going to be able to ignore that.

          No… but I will say, as hideously unsexy as they are supposed to be, there was something really kinky about it. Sinning is my favorite flavor.

      I think you mean, the lack of sex is what matters to them. 🤣

        I don’t know, their five wives and 33 kids might suggest otherwise.
