I’d be happy to see him win the primary - imo he’d be the easiest to beat in the general.

“As I just said, I think the larger bill we voted against,” the Republican replied tersely.

Note the use of first-person plural here; he can’t even say “I voted against it.”

Spineless little fucker.

He’s got a score to settle with a dead tree in the forest & wants to be able to sneak up on it.

You’re from Wa®shington and you don’t get the camo? It’s a uniform, just like it is here in Ory-gone. The big tell, however, is how uncomfortable he looks wearing it.

You know you’re in trouble when you have to actually wear the dog whistles.

I get it…but I still think it’s stupid and will question it.

I guess he realized the Insurrection Day shooting jacket he wore to the Ellipse looked a trifle too elite.

“This particular appropriation we advocated for in the appropriations [inaudible], but the larger bill we voted against,” Cawthorn replied as he posed with a giant check in front of the cameras."

“As a real follower of Christ would, I voted for the stuff for me, but not for thee.”

Oh, he has a spine, it just a little wonky at the moment.

He’s hiding in plain sight, and not very successfully. Kind of like his stupid.

Reminds me of a bit from some comedian who I can’t recall…

-So my BIL is a big hunter, likes everyone to know it. He even has a camouflage wallet. I asked him one day, “why do you have a camouflage wallet?”
-Because, I HUNT
-Yeah, you drop that in the woods and you’ll be hunting alright

If only that check had actually been “signed,” “Joseph R. Biden, Jr.”

The Russian Wee is what’s happening to the knucklehead truckers in DC.

So his Home Schooling did not include “How a Bill Becomes a Law.”

He is an idiot. But so are the people who voted for him. “Elect the Idiot to show the Libs!”
