> [@Cheesesteak](#): > > As it stands it reads like a pathetic attempt to pump up his fragile ego. Even if he did exactly what he said he did, it’s still pathetic. From the video, it does not seem like anyone is really showing much enthusiasm. Not a golfer, but would expect more. Trumps a known cheat at everything he does. His business ‘model’ and his personal life revolve around cheating. Sure, it could have happened, but I really doubt it. ---

> [@Rick\_Kitchen](#): > > Oklahoma state Senate candidate shoots a printer, claiming it’s a Dominion voting machine, and pulls out pieces of paper written on by hand with black marker with “Property of: Godless Commies" and “Burn the Bible." There was a time when I thought the antics of conspiracy theorists types were amusing, but my god, the insanity has taken over. I always knew that widespread acceptance of this nonsense would be a problem for democracy and society, but I never thought it would _really_ take over, or at least, not this quickly. Now it’s just depressing. There’s people like this guy out there influencing real-world decisions, and there’s nothing we can do about it, because they have millions of crazy idiot supporters cheering him on. ---

Yeah, it will be interesting to see how the GOP handles young master Cawthorn. It would seem that the first rule of the GOP Orgy Club is “Don’t talk about the GOP Orgy Club!” Reading about what Madison has said, it is interesting, after a fashion, that he does seem to be speaking from the heart, “Gee, I really had no idea that the grown ups I admire were like this!” ---

Oh, I would love to have a transcript of their conversation. “So, is it clear what we want you to do?” “I’m to make a believable case that we are not descended from a single human being, created from mud by God?” “Yes. Can you do it convincingly?” “Do i have to say that Man is descended from apes?” “No, you can be vague there. We just want you to destroy faith in God.” ---

Well, [more of a mass-assault](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Lara_Logan#Reporting_from_Egypt_and_sexual_assault) than gang-rape. Not to downplay it – she must have feared for her life – just saying probably not technically rape. ---
