> [@Smapti](#): > > Apparently, Madison Cawthorn skipped the coke orgy because he was busy at the drag party. I am, generally, fine with men who want to dress in lingerie or other drag as they like, so I’m not going to shame Cawthorne for doing it. Besides, there’s plenty of other grist for comic mockery to be had, including the fact that he’s so obsessed with manliness he previously posted a video of himself punching a dead tree, and the fact that he’s whining about “the Left” releasing the photo when current indications are that it was one of his former colleagues that leaked it. Guess he shouldn’t have let the story about the “cocaine orgies” slip. ---

I was watching the clips of the Republicans bad memories about January 6 on _The Daily Show_ last night and [this scene](https://youtu.be/Yh6kbQnOAg4) from Austin Powers kept running through my head.

I don’t know. I’d say a lot of people are still calling him stupid, if for no other reason than that he thinks “acing” a cognitive impairment test is a sign of his intelligence. (Awhile back when the right was insisting that Joe Biden was senile, I suggested that he have a press conference announcing that he had taken a cognitive impairment test and that he aced it, then rattle off “man woman person camera TV” as proof.) ---

Here’s Rand Paul justifying the invasion of Ukraine. Well, technically, he’s not justifying it, he’s simply giving the logical reasons Putin was basically forced to invade parts of Russia by NATO. > **[Rand Paul Says Biden Pushed Putin Into Attacking 'Soviet Union' Countries](https://www.newsweek.com/rand-paul-says-biden-pushed-putin-attacking-soviet-union-countries-1701168)** > > Some accused Paul of promoting Russian propaganda during the tense exchange. ---

Somebody needs to tell Rand that Ukraine and Georgia have not been part of Russia in over 30 years. Ukraine gave back nuclear weapons with the explicit understanding that Russia wouldn’t invade. As for Cawthorn, how many fuckups is that imbecile going to be given before somebody does something? This is getting to the point of being ridiculous. The guy has been pulled over for driving with a suspended license like three separate times since the start of the year. Now he tries to bring a fucking loaded gun into an airport?
