Filed under small victories: Madison Cawthorn will not be returning to Congress. It’s time for him to write his book and show up on Fox now.
We’re abut to see part of how well the Republican methods work on an Omicron outbreak.
Oh, North Korea is embracing lockdowns and other preventive measures. But they’re downplaying the severity f the trump virus, and have refused vaccines.
Trump promises to depress readers with big lie book: ‘I don’t think you’ll enjoy it’
For once, trump is right. I’m not even going to read it.

@OzarkHillbilly:
I think that makes you even, because he’s not even going to write it.
Welcome to the Twilight Zone:
@Kathy: True, but there is a difference. For him, writing it would be like work, a thing he has spent his entire life avoiding.
For me, reading it would be torture, one comparable to being forced to sitting in a room, alone with my ex.
@Kathy: @OzarkHillbilly:
Who will be the ghost?
@HarvardLaw92:
Well, at least Cawthorn will have a lot of amusing photos with which to illustrate it.
That has to be the most expensive cheese sandwich ever.
@CSK: Madison Cawthorn. He’s at loose ends now. Can be had for pennies.

Boris blames Joe Biden.
@JohnSF:
I’m not sure. 🙂 There are certainly geographic phenotypes in Africa, and I’ve previously notice that Kenyan women tend to be more “western-attractive*” than other regions. Nairobi is a rather wealthy city, so there’s good health care, nice fashion, etc.
I’m just surprised at how many of these women are advertising the fact. I keep going through the Q&A section going: good… good… naughty… pleasingly naughty Dammit! Conservative Christian.

* At least what I consider to be attractive. 🙂
@Mu Yixiao: I didn’t comment yesterday but since this thread seems to be picking up steam, I gotta wonder if perhaps these kinky Christians might be professionals trolling for johns?
Ding ding ding… We have a winner.
@MarkedMan:
You might want to Google “kinky christians,” as I just did. The results are…entertaining.
@Mu Yixiao:
I think I’ve remarked here before; African populations include “racial” groups easily as distinct as are Europeans and Chinese in Eurasia.
IIRC most anthropologists identify five or six in sub-Saharan Africa alone, with that degree of genetic divergence; and another two or three in North Africa.
@MarkedMan:
… might be professionals trolling for johns?
I deny everything!
Drawing monsters in the basement: last child in Ukrainian village in ruin.
@MarkedMan:
Possibly. But most of the pros just come right out and say that they’re pros. 🙂
Not only did Cawthorn lose, so did the crazy lady running for Governor of Idaho. It is, indeed, a good day! 🙂
Cawthorn now has no reason not to name names re: Republican cocaine orgies.
We are waiting with baited breath, Maddy. Godspeed, sir.
@OzarkHillbilly: I didn’t even know there was going to be a book. That’s how little attention I pay to FG.
@CSK: Why? Are you looking for a gig?
@Just nutha ignint cracker:
This is the first I’ve heard of it, too. There may in fact not be any book. How many times has Trump said he’s going to do something and then not done it?
@MarkedMan:
@DK:
Some advice for @Mu Yixiao, if you see a kinky conservative christian named Maddy, just move on to the next profile.
@Just nutha ignint cracker:
I’d rather slit my throat.
@HarvardLaw92:
His cousin was sure that he’d come from behind…….
Baarump bump.
Same here.
@OzarkHillbilly:
Of course not. You don’t read it, you colour it.
@CSK:
This guy hasn’t worked since the 80s.
@Pete S: heh.
@CSK:
And, judging from recent events, at least a few videos as well
@HarvardLaw92:
Stills from the video of a nude Cawthorn humping someone’s head would, I grant you, be an engaging insert. So to speak.
@HarvardLaw92: I don’t think there’s any publisher that would accept a manuscript written in crayon.
@Mike in Arlington:
Ghostwriters don’t use crayons.
@Mu Yixiao:
I found that in a small community in Utah that a lot of hanky panky goes down, but nobody talks about it. The lyric captures it, “Don’t drink don’t smoke, what do ya do?”
Utah was reputed to be the largest market per capita for porn, IIRC. And church, well church social events anyway, were the places to go to pick up chicks. Praise Jesus!
@dazedandconfused:
I grew up Catholic. I always laughed at the people who said Catholics are prudish. Catholic girls are the naughtiest girls out there (praise the lord!). We would joke that Catholics go to church on Sunday to clean the slate so there’s room to do it all again next week. 🙂
Legally, I don’t know what comes next or what is possible but….
Monkeypox. Jesus H Christ. We are traveling backward in time.
@Michael Reynolds:
Yeah, and in my state, too. Shit.
The patient is hospitalized and reportedly in good condition.
Fortunately, it’s not easily transmissable.
