GOP Senators Ben Sasse and Tim Scott’s friendship is pretty great to see, not just because it’s nice to see something good come out of politics for a change, but also because as far as sheer entertainment value is concerned, it’s chock-full of it.
Yesterday, someone dressed like the Monopoly Man sat in on a Senate hearing about the Equifax breach — and promptly took the internet by storm:
SCREAMING. A+ troll

Scott and Sasse were there as well:

I find it hard to believe that Equifax executives were the luckiest investors in the world, selling $1.8M of stock 3 days after their breach pic.twitter.com/PjnFY3QZ5X

This was serious business, but all work and no play is no way to live. So Sen. Scott found a way to have a little fun:

I still don’t know how @BenSasse had time to ask questions and then go sit in the crowd. https://t.co/eVInHIIhSJ
