A Morning thought...

[PCIntern]

I am of the firm belief the Congress should convene a special select committee to investigate Madison Cawthorn’s accusations that there are drug-fueled orgies ongoing in Congress. Testimony under oath should be taken, cell phone records should be subpoenaed, and public hearings in primetime need to be televised.

If you think that this is a Swiftian proposal, think again. If AOC had stated that she had participated, or been invited to participate, in a drug fueled orgy, and the Republicans were in control, you would not stop hearing about it, seeing animation online, reading breathless reports of the progress of the investigation from virtually everyone in Fox News as well as all the other networks. As Democrats, we shake our heads and smile, because we are just so “above it all”, and go about our business of “governing with politesse”, while this bunch of lunatics strips the rights of half of the citizens of the United States with the stroke of a pen. And believe me, this is just for starters… After they ban contraception and interracial marriage and same-sex marriage, they’re going to go after due process, the right to an attorney, and anything else they can find. By the time they are done they’ll make North Korea look like Canada.

2. I so agree. Our days of being "above it all" should come to a close, the game rules have changed

and we need to change with them.

14. Well said!

Time to take off the gloves and expect to get some fleas.

We have no choice because Republicans created this playing field. We either fight them on their terms or we lose every time.

3. We should concentrate our efforts toward saving freedom & ejecting conservative tyranny

I'm not sure if these orgies are a symptom or a tool or a sideshow. Some of these clowns will be gone from Congress in 6 months with or without hearings. Meanwhile ... insurrectionists and a coup plot on display, and SCOTUS tilting society toward conservative privilege and punishment. We have bigger fish to fry.

11. I agree!

[Hoyt]

4. Good chance voters will get him in primaries. If not, hopefully in general election.

[Thunderbeast]

8. How many RW lunatics have been successfully primaried?

How many have lost in the general?

Republicans are rabid haters. The crazier the rhetoric, the deeper the support. They elected these batshit crazies, and they are proud of their choice. THEIR congresscritter is in the news owning the libs. They like that.

[Hoyt]

18. I think he's in trouble this time.

[evolves]

5. Amen, PC!

We are well past the time when the gloves needed to come off.

[Trueblue Texan]

6. I agree to a degree...

I don't like the kid gloves approach the Dems default to...and I am certainly not above kicking the Repubs where it hurts. But, isn't it a consenting adult's right to have orgies if they so choose? I'm not messing with anyone's rights, especially for political expedience. The rebukes have plenty of legitimate violations of law to go after that are equally disgusting. Let's expose and go after those.

[PCIntern]

7. Disagree:

This is the party of family values and ethics and morals. They need to be exposed for everything that they are, and no holds barred because for us there is no holds barred. If there is cocaine use or any other recreational illegal drug use in Congress then this needs to be exposed and people need to pay the penalty as anyone else would be obliged to. I am sick and tired of giving them all the benefits of the doubt and no penalties for flagrant fouls.

[c-rational]

9. Agreed.

[KS Toronado]

13. R's can have their cocaine sex parties behind closed doors

but deny most Americans the pleasure of smoking a joint and watching a comedy
on TV in our own homes while hurting no one.

[Trueblue Texan]

20. Well I to agree with OP on cocaine.

But their orgies are their business

[hamsterjill]

15. It's the hypocrisy.

They do it and yet condemn anyone else who does the same thing. That’s my problem with idiots like Cauthen.

[KS Toronado]

17. Isn't that the kid gloves approach?

Let's expose this & that but give them a pass on cocaine sex orgies? The way the SCOTUS is headed,
they'll make orgies illegal while hiding theirs behind closed doors.

[spanone]

10. ...K&R...

Totally Agree.

[Joinfortmill]

12. 👍

[dchill]

16. I like it even if it IS Swiftian. Which, you know, I kinda think...

...it is.

[PCIntern]

21. Eat the kids....

😄😍

[dchill]

22. Satirically, of course.

[FakeNoose]

19. Thinking back to when Bill Clinton got impeached

... for a blow-job! Ken Starr led the "Spanish Inquisition" against Clinton leaving no stone unturned. Anything to embarrass a Democratic President ... anything they could find.

Haven't they always been like that? Well no, not always. But the Repukes have turned evil since the days of Richard Nixon - it all points to paybacks for Nixon and Watergate. In a better world, I believe that Madison Cawthorn is someone so unqualified that he'd never hope to get elected to the Congress from North Carolina or any other state.

It's the deep hole of ugliness and evil that the Repukes have dug for themselves, and they can never climb out of it. They're in so deep they can't even see a way out. Paybacks are the only thing they understand.
