I’m sure there are any number of beers that would pair well with various asparagus dishes.

Congressman Nimrod tries to take a loaded gun through airport security.

I am impressed that they caught it.

Technically he is a terrorist, inasmuch as he supported and apologizes for the Capitol Squalltroopers, but we are not allowed to openly call him that since he has not be convicted of being or terrorist, so the TSA are required to continue to treat him as an innocent AWG. “I forgot it was in there” is still an acceptable excuse for average white guys, with no limit on number of incidents.

I think it’s a fairly open secret that attempting to carry a gun onto a plane doesn’t generally result in prosecution.

Cawthorn’s a bit of a disgusting fuck. This was probably a performance to generate campaign donations, and shore up votes, from his less-than-cerebral-giants base.

TSA should through these dumb fucks to the ground, handcuff them and through them in a tiny room for a while and make absolutely sure they miss their flight.

Don’t do that. There’s way too much actual mockworthy material on Cawthorn to have to resort to cheap ableist jokes.

There was talk that suggested throwing (him) to the floor – I was merely pointing out (in my ham-fisted sort of way) that in his case, that would be a very bad look.

Tell him to bring his gun into Canada, and when the border guards take it, he should loudly tell them to respect his 2nd amendment rights. Maybe boast about how important he is. That will end well.

I want to apologize for through/throw. But I am on vacation in Hawaii getting a bit, um, tippsey. And I’m a poor speller to begin with.

Carry on.

It doesn’t say in the article, but I bet they are from Florida.

I got the impression that that person was a bystander who heard “boomy thing” and ran for his life, assuming a terrorist threat.
