Anheuser-Busch, headquartered in St. Louis, has been a major supporter of that city's Pride celebrations for 30 years.

Apparently that was long enough. Pride St. Louis announced this week that the brewer has declined to renew its sponsorship.

Funny. Decades ago alcohol companies were among the first to support Prides around the nation. They wanted queer people to drink more—as if such a thing was possible.

Now, in this political climate, Anheuser-Busch is cutting and running. It seems to me, Pride St. Louis, that after a 30-year relationship, you're due alimony.

It's come to light that recently top Trump officials, when discussing details of imminent plans to attack Houthi rebels in Yemen, included a journalist in their Signal group chat.

Five Republican state senators in Minnesota sponsored a bill earlier this week labeling Trump Derangement Syndrome as a mental illness. Hours later, one of the five was arrested for soliciting a minor.

Sen. Justin Eichorn, a 40-year-old married man with four children, thought he was meeting a 17-year-old girl for paid sex, but it was the cops who awaited him.

Help me here. I'm really trying to understand.

Do you think Eichorn's snarky attempt to own the libs gave him a hard-on that wouldn't quit? Did it make him feel invincible? Superior? Above the law? Like a frat boy again?

Or does he know he has issues and he backed the bill so he could deflect by accusing others of having issues? 

Or is he just another hypocrite in the long line of family-values types who have the moral fiber of a jelly bean?

Just Maybe
