Madison Cawthorn ... Good God in Butter ... 'I would like to see a naked body beneath my hands.'

I know this is from The Daily Mail (tabloid trash) but if 1/10 of this is true how can he stay in Congress?
If Cawthorn is gay, likes to cross dress, and enjoys sex w/men fine by me but it is his hypocrisy and it
looks his relationship w/Smith started when Smith was still underage.

Cawthorn is just like Trump in that he is just grifting the hell out of "the rubes."

**********

Among the many allegations is the claim that representative for North Carolina's 11th district provided thousands of dollars in loans and gifts to Smith, a staff member, with whom, the complaint states, he is engaged in an improper relationship characterized by steamy postings on social media and so close that the staffer joined Cawthorn on his honeymoon to Dubai in April 2021.

According to the filing Cawthorn has provided free housing, travel and loans to Smith, none of which have been declared or repaid.

The complaint also requests an investigation into the nature of Cawthorn's relationship with Smith stating that the junior member of staff lives with Cawthorn.

A Venmo payment history between Smith and Cawthorn, attached to the ethics filing and dating from June 2018 is littered with suggestive messages in the form of notes attached to the payments.

Good God in Butter... they are out there

Went down from Columbus to Cincinnati to work on a
family member's house and I got a meal at so so restaurant and I just had a nice older lady tell me that the covid vaccine had given her a stroke in her eye from blood clots in her brain and that caused her to fall and hurt her arm.

America is really fucked. President Obama was right about the disinformation.

ABC News: Americans who haven't had COVID-19 are now in the minority following omicron surge

A new CDC analysis estimates that at least three out of every five Americans have antibodies that indicate a prior COVID-19 infection. Before the omicron-fueled surge in cases from December 2021 to February 2022, only an estimated one-third of people in the U.S. were estimated to have a prior infection.

"This is the first time that population seroprevalence is over 50%," Dr. Kristie Clarke, co-lead for the CDC's COVID-19 Epidemiology & Surveillance Taskforce Seroprevalence Team, told reporters on a press call this afternoon.

snip

An average of 58% of people across all age groups had detectable antibodies as of February -- but that rose to nearly 75% among children and teens under 17.

******

And then why are the # of deaths and hospital stays going down?
The vaccines work. Thank you Dr. Fauci, thank you President Biden,
thank you Dr. Walensky, and thank you to all of you that that went
and got vaccinated.

And to those who still refuse to get vaccinated and or have been working to
spread the disease such as Rand Paul, Governors Abbott, DeSantis, and Nome,
along with Fox News may they all get sick and die.

MTG, Dumber than a bag of hair. Marshal vs Martial vs Marshall Edit

Thanx to DUer Shellback Squid for pointing out that I used then vs the correct than!




Martial law is the imposition of direct military control of normal civil functions or suspension of civil law by a government, especially in response to an emergency where civil forces are overwhelmed, or in an occupied territory.




"In our private chat with only Members, several are saying the only way to save our Republic is for Trump to call for Marshall law," Greene wrote to Meadows on January 17, 2021. "I don't know on those things. I just wanted you to tell him. They stole this election. We all know. They will destroy our country next. Please tell him to declassify as much as possible so we can go after Biden and anyone else!"

That is one of multiple texts Greene sent to Meadows in the post-election period, around January 6, 2021. Greene also told Meadows "we think" the people who assaulted the Capitol on January 6 "are Antifa" dressed like Trump supporters. Meadows turned over his text messages to the January 6 committee probing the assault and then declined to cooperate further with the committee.

If Musk lets Trump back onto twitter the world should boycott his businesses.

I know that it will not matter and that Musk made more money off of his money from the
time he sipped his more coffee and took his AM b.m. than I will make in 10 years but he
should be treated as pariah if he gives that criminal a platform just to be a dick.

I think Musk just let Tucker Carlson and other right wing hate talkers back onto Twitter
after he bought it.

Trump I have made 7 "hole in one" shots .... During his interview w/Piers Morgan


"I think I'm a very honest man," Trump asserted.

“In a newspaper interview I read. He (Ernie Els) said it was a brilliant shot and you played really well.”

“I did, I did.”

“Was that your first hole-in-one?”

“No! I’ve had seven!”

And so the husband of the anti mask judge* was hired to work for Jared Kushner's Saudi backed biz.

Complicated and I don't understand all the different moving parts but something doesn't pass my
smell test. I am convinced that the GOP has decided to make the spread of C-19 as one of their
campaign strategies and to blame Joe Biden and the democrats for not stopping "it."
