    The sad thing is that shit like this is more likely to get Elon Musk out than Congress, because all anyone seems to care about is Trump’s ego.

      That is unironically the best possible strategy. This admin isn’t exactly monolithic. The main thing they all have in common is that they’re filthy rich and want to be even richer, but apart from that many of them have massive egos and god complexes all of their own. Driving a wedge between them is logically the best way forward.

      Same way Bannon got ousted last time. Trump’s easy to hit. Hurt or stroke his ego in specific ways. He HATED ‘president Bannon.’

      No one’s shaming the kink. It’s a play on “Kissing the feet of your ruler”, essentially implying subservience.

      Every kink is a kink because the object of the kink holds some specific value or logic within the social context that is then relived or subverted within the kinky dynamic. If foot worshipping wasn’t, historically and symbolically, an act of submission in society, it wouldn’t be a kink at all.

      It is gross to a lot of people & a sign of being a submissive. If you told someone that you’re into toe-sucking & they made fun of you for it, that would be kink shaming. You can’t expect everyone to be fine with toe-sucking though.

      Update: Wow a lot of toe suckers down voting me. Must be hard for them to find partners so they think everyone should be fine with it. Prob even harder for ass eaters.
