Originally published at: Mark Robinson Comes Clean (Sort Of) and Tries to Sell Some Content
Epically scandal-plagued former North Carolina Lt. Gov. Mark Robinson has shown us a blueprint for an apology tour in the MAGA influencer era. It apparently involves visiting a very friendly podcast, admitting you lied, not really apologizing for it, and monetizing the whole thing. You may remember Robinson from the series of wildly controversial statements…

“Fully decarbonized power sector” is not a term commonly used in US media, but Sweden has achieved that with nuclear, wind and hydro and some solar and low-enthalpy ground heating. The country has even decarbonized steel production. Finland is also up there, with a high degree of electrification of its economy. Now we see countries such as the UK caught on the back foot due to their ongoing reliance on fossil fuels, particularly gas. Trump continues to talk about US hydrocarbon dominance, but it highlights how badly the US has missed the boat. In Norway, 96% of new car registrations were full electrics. US, 8%. Rubio and Vance are kind of amusing when they attack Europe as it is hard for the Europeans to understand what they are talking about (and probably most Americans with backgrounds in science and technology).

He’s charging $0.99 a month to allow people to subscribe to his Facebook page.
Between this putz and Mark Sanford, the Carolinas are truly cursed. “Run the government like a business!” shout the clowns who couldn’t find employment in any other field.

“… monetizing the whole thing.”
There you go, that is the crux of the whole thing, esp if you are a Republican.

Anyone remember when “conservatives” railed against anyone who might “ignore the truth for the sake of expediency”?
OK, I guess not.

I think I may being going out on a limb here, but maybe the loudest person in the room is not the one that has best interest of anyone other than themselves.

“And here’s to you, Mr. Robinson…” 
$ .99/month to read his drivel? About a dollar more than I’d be willing to spend. Hope this idiot fades away into complete obscurity.

He’s probably trying to avoid more public dissemination of his garbage.
Or perhaps they wouldn’t let him on OnlyFans.

“For only $19.99, you can join Liars Protecting Truth. We dedicate our lies to protect the truths they don’t want you to know about.”
Ignoring the truth (aka lying) in order to protect the truth has to be one of the most bizarre “defenses” I’ve ever heard. One thing Trump has really shown is that the charlatans don’t have to try very hard these days. He’s drawn every half-assed snake oil salesman out of the woodwork. They see him up there are the pinnacle, raking in billions and say, “I could hoodwink those suckers way better than him! Why am I scraping to get by and he’s Scrooge McDucking it up with that nonsense he spouts?”

Is George Santos still around? It would be great if they could all do media together and Christie Noem too.

Robinson is living proof that MAGA will vote for the village idiot if told to do so by their Dear Leader. Is it possible to deprogram 1/3 of the American electorate?
