In 1659, the the Puritans in Massachusetts enacted a law that declared that Christmas was sacrilege and exchanging of gifts, greetings, and wearing fine clothing on that day was Satanic. Anyone caught celebrating was fined 5 shillings. (About 5 days wages.)

The "War on Christmas" was an inside job.

That looks familiar.

This party has predicated so much of its identity on its supposed eagerness to root out pedophiles in government… and now these Republicans are poised to bury a report into Matt Gaetz’s alleged sexual misconduct involving a minor.

The GOP is where any semblance of longstanding principles go to die.
