The GOP is still morally corrupt, even if Discourse breaks

I wondered the same thing. Sounds like a bullshit cover story!

P.S. Comic sans is growing on me.

I believe they have an ointment for that.

I doubt that people were snorting experimental Chinese drugs. But I also don’t doubt that the halls of government aren’t at least somewhat inhabited by partiers high on newfound power. I would think it would be the junior members and the staffers that invited him along, not Mitch McConnell.

I’m not one to say that elected representatives don’t know how to party. They most assuredly do. Most of my friends in politics are the most degenerate heavy drinkers I know. But a person who manages to get elected to federal office knows how to keep that shit on the down low. There’s a public appearance for public functions and there’s private things that happen behind closed doors with close friends. And the private stuff isn’t even all bad, but nobody wants to see their private stuff in the national media the next morning so there’s an unwritten rule about sharing the private stuff in public. Crossing that line is a bigger no-no than crossing party lines or criticizing party leadership.

My guess is that Wheels is gonna get primaried real hard. Poor guy. :P

And it seems that Trump will have him at his next grift rally. Of course he will.

Conservatives basically think all liberals are secretly Marxists.

So the Republican worst nightmare is living in a mixed-use walkable neighborhood with convenient public transit? Interesting.

[RichVR]

What I got from that was, democrats want you to live with POC. And that sucks. Because they are criminals.

And, they think that the only people who do live this way are poor.

He is. He’s gonna be running against his own party too, which might work.

He pissed off the state GOP by switching seats and screwing over Tim Moore (leader of NC State House, who was gerrymandering himself a seat in the House)

All moot in the end, and it led to Jeff Jackson likely getting a seat in the House at least for 2 years (best case scenario for him) which allows me to evaluate him further.

@wisefool

Either he made shit up for attention because he is a moron and didn’t think things through,

In all fairness, I suspect this is actually the most likely story here.

I mean, even if a bunch of old Republicans were having coke orgies, which is really as likely as not, does anyone think they’d invite Madison Cawthorne?

Everyone knows he’s an idiot… And an idiot in a wheelchair isn’t exactly the guy you are thinking will be a prime addition to an orgy, no offense to folks in wheelchairs.

Edit:
Wait I just read the thing about “Chinese research chemicals”… What is that even talking about? It’s that McCarthy saying that Cawthorne mistook some other drug for cocaine? But was still doing weird drugs?

Or that he was in some location where they didn’t have drugs at all, but he saw powder and thought it was drugs they were doing?

Republican orgy = hired a bunch of desperate prostitutes and made them sign NDA’s.

Well that should clear things up.

This has me pretty much furious tonight. We all know the actors, but the effectiveness of the results (so far) partially explain what is going on in the polls.

“Washington is an incredibly corrupt place, which is why I want to be there and why you sent me there,” is perhaps not the message he thinks it is.

[Gordon_Cameron]

There’s controversy because the GOP might do lines, not because they are systematically subverting democracy and burning the planet for personal profit.

This is why we, as a species, are doomed.

Now this was good take on the stupid don’t say gay bill.
