Maddy aspires to be as corrupt as his orange role model when he grows up.

Shouldn’t a grand jury be issuing indictments right about now?

OT. As I suspected it was all Kabuki by DiSantis and co. All congresscritters voted for it because they knew it was all symbolic.

After a rebuke from the Catholic League this week for calling the church “satanic, Marge Greene issues a statement that she grew up a Catholic but left the church because they’re all pedophiles.”

I don’t know about that, but Marge is definitely “fvcked in the head.”

Seems to me she’s just running her little side-show to distract from all her party’s fascìsm. All this modern-day McCarthyism is going to bite Marge and her pals in their ample asses. This could be when some miscreant shoots up a Catholic church, New Zealand style. That happened a year into Dotard’s administration, a very strident time for him.

Madison Cawthorn is a corrupt loser. Donald Trump is a corrupt loser. Birds of a feather…

This whole business fascinates me. Obviously a baseless accusation of coked-up orgy-ing would be fairly annoying to anyone. But why exactly are they so furious, and so obviously gunning for him? Because it’s false? Because it’s true? Because they’re tired of his brand of crazy? Because he’s a trouble-making moron who, strange that they’re worried about it at this late date, makes them look bad? I just wonder. :thinking:

So M.T. Greene was raised Catholic and now says the Church is Satanic and full of pedophiles. Okay!
That’s interesting because it shows an angry break with her past and the kind of intense reaction that adds some context to her present insanity. I expect she’ll continue to come apart at the seams.

Well, it would certainly be interesting if a more or less normal person suddenly made a wild accusation like that. But she makes wild accusations all the livelong day. Another person might say “I just got disenchanted, it didn’t seem to be what I was looking for,” but she has to say they’re Satanic pedophiles. It’s her way of saying she thinks otherwise than they do.

Cawthorn is a stupid kid, recruited by Mark Meadows to run for Congress. He is a great face for a cover for fascism. Good looking, sad sob story, etc. He has no knowledge of the wider world. He even said that he was hiring communications staff instead of legislative staff because that was going to be the focus. Once in the DC world, he learned what he has to do to make good money.

All Catholic voters need to hear of her slams against the church.

Meh. Only reason any of this is happening is because the GQP wants him out. If he’d never said “coke and orgies”, he’d be sitting pretty…well, certainly sitting at least…

Is there any purpose for cryptocurrency beyond pyramid scheming, ransomware payments, sanctions evasion, or tax avoidance?

(And if you really wanna see a ‘humina humina humina’, ask a cool-kid journalist to explain one.)

Mitt Romney: “Doing things like issuing debt forgiveness to help them establish themselves financially earlier in life is a bribe for votes!!!”

Also Mitt Romney: “Check out these totally legitimate tax cuts/tax forgiveness bills we passed that are grossly skewed to the millionaire-class so that a large portion of it can be laundered back to our party as campaign and PAC donations…totally legit!!!”
