Speaking of infinite uselessness:

Surprising nobody with a half a brain and solidifying his status as a grifter.

He'll easily win by 20%.

Sure am glad we don't have a Madison Cawthorn in California.

Oh, wait, we do have Kevin McCarthy, representing District 23, centered in a red district near Bakersfield. So there is that.

In the general, sure, but maybe he could still be beaten in the primary. I'm not sure if replacing a clown with an asshole would be a good thing.

Also:
Devin Nunes for a few more days.

What did YOU do besides vote? Your Cali-chauvinism is obnoxious and boring.

I wonder if the wife will get the hard to find house and then once again nobody will know where this dipshit lives, or more accurately, exists.

Yeah, Kevin McCarthy is a stain on California.

MadCaw fails Civics and History, again:

Madison Cawthorn Says Founding Fathers Wouldn't Recognize U.S. Twitter Critics: DUHH

... Cawthorn was likely badly trying to make a point that America’s founders would have a difficult time recognizing and coming to terms with new American values and events he holds dear — like an insurrection in the Capitol, and the merging of church and state.

So Cawthorn haters let him have it.

The founding fathers spoke and wrote beautifully. They were able to think and reason. And they believed in the separation of church and state. They would be horrified by you.

The Founding Fathers would probably be scared of the sound of toilets flushing, who cares what they think

*single car drives by*

WHAT THE FUCK WAS THAT

More mocking tweets at the link.

The tweets have tweets:

Nah man, Ben Franklin would discover Pornhub and MDMA immediately. He’d be dead in a month, but what a month it would be for him.

Didn't it take like 47 seconds to reload a single-shot musket in the 18th century? Let's take them to a gun show lol

Lol I'm glad they wouldn't recognize the US.

Back then, black folks were enslaved. Women couldn't vote either.

To hell with that.

And I'm pretty sure they'd be horrified of Donald Trump as well.

North Carolina voters file suit to disqualify Rep. Cawthorn's re-election bid

... What they're saying: "The coordinated and violent January 6 attack on the United States Capitol in an effort to prevent Congress from certifying the presidential vote was an insurrection against the United States," Ron Fein, Legal Director of Free Speech For People, said in a statement.

"The Constitution disqualifies from public office any elected officials who aided that insurrection," he continued....

Free Speech For People

A guess: They know that the suit will go nowhere unless MadCaw is criminally charged. This is about their political goals, not legal ones.

Devil's advocate:
Who does MadCaw hurt more - Dems or Repugs?
Which is worse - Repug NC13 repped by ineffective wingnut MadCaw or by a competent Repug that will vote the same way?

That doesn't mean that I oppose Free Speech For People. Their political goals may be righteous.

[GoCubsGo]

Depends on who controls Congress.

[O Really]

Any Repug is going to vote with the rest of the Repugs most all the time. So potential voting isn't really the issue that would make the difference to me in ousting Cawthorne. Cawthorne is a clown, an embarrassment, a totally unqualified bad joke along the lines of Bimbeort who makes not only himself but WNC laughingstocks. He doesn't even try to "do" anything. But a working Congressman - even if s/he's trumpish - who makes an effort to network, to make allies, and gain a little respect could get a lot done for the District even if s/he votes mostly with the loons.

My Congressman, Mike Levin, you've probably never heard of. He came to office in the 2018 elections. But in the time he's been there, he's been primary sponsor of 5 bills that were enacted:
H.R. 2523: THRIVE Act
H.R. 7105 (116th): Johnny Isakson and David P. Roe, M.D. Veterans Health Care and Benefits Improvement Act of 2020
H.R. 6767 (116th): To amend the Servicemembers Civil Relief Act to provide for an extension of lease protections for servicemembers under stop movement orders in response to a local, national, …
H.R. 4625 (116th): Protect the GI Bill Act
H.R. 2326 (116th): Navy SEAL Chief Petty Officer William “Bill” Mulder (Ret.) Transition Improvement Act of 2019

Notice a military leaning? Might that be because the huge Camp Pendleton is in his district, and a lot of military-related or retired people?

He's also introduced, but not yet passed:
H.R. 6227: Military Dependents School Meal Eligibility Act of 2021
H.R. 6112: MOVE Act
H.R. 5752: Emergency Relief for Servicemembers Act
H.R. 5401: Nuclear Waste Task Force Act of 2021
H.R. 5255: To amend section 7014 of the Elementary and Secondary Education Act of 1965 …
H.R. 4772: Mark O’Brien VA Clothing Allowance Improvement Act
H.R. 4712: Desalination Development Act

So what has Cawthorne claimed to have introduced? None of which have come anywhere close to passing and none would have helped WNC anyway.

Get rid of his ass.

[GoCubsGo]

Sponsored or cosponsored 25 bills , none passed all in committee stages.

I'm so glad Maddy is not from California.

I dunno, I'd probably trade McCarthy for him.
