U.S. Rep. Madison Cawthorn is having a bad week and it's only Tuesday.

Today news broke that the North Carolina State Board of Elections filed a motion Monday declaring it indeed does have the legal authority to determine if candidates should be disqualified for violations of the Fourteenth Amendment (more on that in a moment). About the same time that news broke, Senate Republican Minority Leader Mitch McConnell broke with Donald Trump and almost the entire Republican Party, declaring January 6 was a "violent insurrection" – yes, he used those very words.

The 14th Amendment in part states that no one who has taken the oath of office can be a U.S. Congressman or Senator if they "have engaged in insurrection or rebellion against" the United States.

1. How Come All These Assholes Have Bad Weeks?

Yet they NEVER suffer any real consequences?

Let me know when there's actually accountability, otherwise it's just hype, spin and noise.

That is a whole other story.

2. In my pecking order of R's I'd wish having a bad week

he wouldn't be #1, but currently he's in the top 5. I was really hoping that Palin would $*&@$%%^ and then *)#@$, but this is good enough for me!

The Left wants to destroy the nuclear family in America indeed... truly one of the dumbest of the dumb.

6. He can't have a bad enough week to satisly me

When he (and Gaetz) have had a week approaching the status of a garden slug who has just had salt poured on it, THEN they would be having a week bad enough for my liking.

9. Cawthorne is too stupid

to be one of my top concerns. (I'm way more concerned about the plurality of people who voted for him in his district.)

However, if he's having anxiety bc of his stupidity, I'm not going to lose sleep over it.
