Relieved to be face-fucking his cousin as a private citizen.

Maybe he can spend the next few months he’s got left on building up his constituent services part of his job now . . .

A shit ton of oppo research was dumped on him and it seemed to do the trick.

Why did he concede? He is a MAGA Republican, he is supposed to declare election fraud and organize his efforts to capture the election with threats of violence.

Somewhere in North Calakie a Chick-fil-A is advertising for a new cashier and nightly clean up clerk.

A shit ton of oppo research was created by him and it seemed to do the trick. These things do not passively voice “drop” having been unwittingly created in the first instance.

Incidentally, I demand that the Kremlin release my videos. I want to see that shit. It’s pretty good!

I assume this means that in NC the winner DOESN’T have to get “50%+1”?

…Edwards led with 33.5 percent of the vote to Cawthorn’s 31.7 percent.

(I ask because, what I’m used to is if no one gets a majority in a primary election w/ more than 2 candidates, the top two vote-getters going to a primary run-off, the winner of which then goes to the general election. :man_shrugging: )

Who are the 31.7% of primary voters who wanted Cawthorn back in the House? I’d like to know so I can stay as far away from them as possible.

Assholes. You should at all times try to stay away from them. And NC-11 generally, at least outside of Asheville.

I am available to opine on which Texas congressional districts should be avoided, and also the exceptional municipalities within them.

It remains to be seen how Cawthorn will choose to spend his lame-duck months in the House.

I don’t see why anything should change. It’s not as if he spent much time there, and he sure wasn’t doing constituent services (at least, not the kind anyone wanted).

Inevitably doing everything he can to get a job working for Fox News, OAN, Daily Stormer, and Truth Social

On the surface no…

But his lifestyle could be threatened.

Almost out of money and he needs to pay lawyers for appearances in three different courts next month.
