I think this is interesting, but it's really confusing and poorly written.
1. How is Megan bullying him? 2. What was JM's connection to the Russian oligarchs and how did that corrupt him or US policy? There are no conclusions drawn. 3. Who was the random lobbyist trying to kill herself?
I’ve said time and time again, all politicians are POS - all of them. This should surprise no one. These career politicians are as corrupt as any other pos human disgrace. None of us are perfect. Sometimes I just wonder why any semi-intelligent human doesn’t see the evil in politics.
Be careful with that “both sides” mentality here.
Thanks, I’m aware how sensitive some are about their obsession, but I know there’s also quite a few (like you) who sees politicians who they really are no matter which party they’re affiliated with. I think we need a third political party named “realists”.

The reality is is that they’re not all POS or corrupt. Some just aren’t who they pretend to be and they make everyone look bad. But yea, both sides it is. John McCain was a repub. Add him to a long list of them. And I’m still waiting for the Hillary indictments to drop. Gonna celebrate with my boy Roles when they do.

I wouldn't call it an obsession, it that's factually you're incorrect, and people like facts in here.

By Isaac Arnsdorf May 10, 2022 at 15:36 ET Last November, Rep. Madison Cawthorn (R-N.C.) texted his state’s junior senator, Thom Tillis, about a tweet from the senator’s wife. Cawthorn had just announced that he was planning to switch districts, and Susan Tillis took to Twitter to criticize the move. “Why is your wife attacking me on Twitter?” the House freshman demanded in his text exchange obtained by The Washington Post. The senator replied that he hadn’t seen his wife’s tweet, but suggested Cawthorn didn’t need to look far for a possible reason. “Just spit ballin here,” Tillis wrote, “but maybe because you’ve attacked her husband?” “I don’t feel like I’ve attacked you that much,” Cawthorn replied. “I think I’ve said I don’t think your conservative enough, did not realize that made us enemies.” In fact, Tillis isn’t the only powerful enemy Cawthorn has made in his own party. The 26-year-old congressman has, in his few years in politics, sparked public outrage with his support for former president Donald Trump’s efforts to overturn the 2020 election, inflammatory speeches, repeated driving and gun infractions, and even a nude video. But his falling-out with top Republicans in North Carolina and Washington also arose from more humdrum blunders such as neglecting constituent services and insulting party elders, according to GOP officials and operatives in the state. [The many controversies surrounding Madison Cawthorn] Now, those Republican enemies are openly lining up to take him down. Tillis and many of North Carolina’s top Republicans, including the state’s House speaker and Senate leader, are backing a challenger, state Sen. Chuck Edwards, in next Tuesday’s primary. Tillis has personally raised money for the effort. An allied super PAC is bombarding the district with TV ads and mail pieces highlighting Cawthorn’s string of scandals and indiscretions — a list that gets longer with almost each passing day. “Madison decided to throw elbows at these people,” said Carlton Huffman, a Republican operative from North Carolina who’s supporting Edwards. “He believes that there are new rules of politics in the Trump era and you don’t have to kiss anybody’s ring in the established party.” For Tillis — who doesn’t face voters again until 2026 after winning reelection as a firm supporter of Trump — the turn against Cawthorn is driven by frustration with the freshman’s antics, disappointment with his scant legislative record and an element of personal payback, according to Republican officials and operatives in North Carolina. “There is a ton of bad blood. For Tillis, this is personal,” said Michele Woodhouse, one of seven primary challengers for Cawthorn’s seat. Tillis declined to comment for this story through a spokesman. Susan Tillis did not respond to requests for comment. Cawthorn has cast the campaign to oust him as attacks from “the swamp” of establishment party figures angered at his commitment to Trump. “The Establishment in Washington and North Carolina has fought against my reelection to Congress in a way I’ve never seen before. The people of Western North Carolina see through it. Our campaign is on track to win a great victory next week, no matter what comes our way,” Cawthorn said in a statement to The Post. In defense of his constituent services, Cawthorn’s spokesman, Luke Ball, said the congressman began accepting cases the day after he was sworn in and has resolved more than 1,800 to date. The opposition from Tillis and other GOP leaders seeks to bring a sudden end to the meteoric rise of a political newcomer who surged to celebrity status in Trump’s Make America Great Again movement. The race is shaping up to be a contest between MAGA star power and old-fashioned political pull — a test of how far a candidate (besides Trump himself) can go in juicing online outrage for campaign cash and bucking the party establishment. “There are so many people saying crazy things these days and people shrug their shoulders, but it was more of the personal behavior that people started to view him as immature and erratic,” said Jim Blaine, of the firm, Differentiators, who says his group’s polling for the national Republican group GOPAC shows Cawthorn dipping in popularity and Edwards rising since March. “He would be a modern-day Icarus, except he flew into the sun.” Even Trump, who endorsed Cawthorn during a visit to Mar-a-Lago in March 2021, may be distancing himself from the embattled freshman. At an April rally in Selma, N.C., Trump touted his endorsement of Ted Budd for Senate and Bo Hines in another House race, but of Cawthorn said only, “He’s a great guy.” Cawthorn said Trump is “my friend and the leader of our party” and disputed “anonymous sources and nameless accusations.” “No matter whether he wins or not, he’s severely damaged,” said Isaac Herrin, a Republican field organizer in the district. “The knives have come out because he has not been a friend to the people of his district who helped put him in office, and he has not been a friend of some of the people in North Carolina who hold political power.”

Here in Pennsylvania the GOP is now shitting its pants at the very real possibility of nominating a right wing extremist for both Governor (Mastriano--an election denier who stormed the Capitol on 1/6) and Senator (Barnett--an absolute whack job who's also an election denier) that will likely get trounced in November.
The primary is Tuesday and they're trying to get the other candidates to drop out and coalesce behind the one with the best chance. But they should have realized this months ago. Probably too late now.

I am not so sure. This Barnett nut job has gained like 10% over the last couple weeks (the abortion stuff is helping her because she put out a video saying her mom was raped yet kept the child, ie: her- yada yada). Basically neck and neck with Oz and Mccormick at this point.
I've read a lot recently about how Trump's endorsement isn't really helping Oz much. He even got booed when he spoke at a Trump rally last week.

I was on a flight to Oakland last night and the guy in front of me spent the night absorbing Fox prime time tv. Hannity spent half half his show tearing her down. I could only read the bottom headline but it said things like "Barnett disturbing tweets uncovered" and "didn't support Trump".
So the Hannity apparatus is trying to take her down.

Any guesses as to how the current SCOTUS might rule when this eventually lands on their docket? Assuming they even agree to hear it? Yay Tejas, a bastion of tolerance.

Last November, Rep. Madison Cawthorn (R-N.C.) texted his state’s junior senator, Thom Tillis, about a tweet from the senator’s wife. Cawthorn had just announced that he was planning to switch districts, and Susan Tillis took to Twitter to criticize the move.
“Why is your wife attacking me on Twitter?” the House freshman demanded in his text exchange obtained by The Washington Post.
The senator replied that he hadn’t seen his wife’s tweet, but suggested Cawthorn didn’t need to look far for a possible reason.
“Just spit ballin here,” Tillis wrote, “but maybe because you’ve attacked her husband?”
“I don’t feel like I’ve attacked you that much,” Cawthorn replied. “I think I’ve said I don’t think your conservative enough, did not realize that made us enemies.”
In fact, Tillis isn’t the only powerful enemy Cawthorn has made in his own party. The 26-year-old congressman has, in his few years in politics, sparked public outrage with his support for former president Donald Trump’s efforts to overturn the 2020 election, inflammatory speeches, repeated driving and gun infractions, and even a nude video. But his falling-out with top Republicans in North Carolina and Washington also arose from more humdrum blunders such as neglecting constituent services and insulting party elders, according to GOP officials and operatives in the state.
[The many controversies surrounding Madison Cawthorn]
Now, those Republican enemies are openly lining up to take him down.
Tillis and many of North Carolina’s top Republicans, including the state’s House speaker and Senate leader, are backing a challenger, state Sen. Chuck Edwards, in next Tuesday’s primary. Tillis has personally raised money for the effort. An allied super PAC is bombarding the district with TV ads and mail pieces highlighting Cawthorn’s string of scandals and indiscretions — a list that gets longer with almost each passing day.
“Madison decided to throw elbows at these people,” said Carlton Huffman, a Republican operative from North Carolina who’s supporting Edwards. “He believes that there are new rules of politics in the Trump era and you don’t have to kiss anybody’s ring in the established party.”
For Tillis — who doesn’t face voters again until 2026 after winning reelection as a firm supporter of Trump — the turn against Cawthorn is driven by frustration with the freshman’s antics, disappointment with his scant legislative record and an element of personal payback, according to Republican officials and operatives in North Carolina.
“There is a ton of bad blood. For Tillis, this is personal,” said Michele Woodhouse, one of seven primary challengers for Cawthorn’s seat.
Tillis declined to comment for this story through a spokesman. Susan Tillis did not respond to requests for comment.
Cawthorn has cast the campaign to oust him as attacks from “the swamp” of establishment party figures angered at his commitment to Trump.
“The Establishment in Washington and North Carolina has fought against my reelection to Congress in a way I’ve never seen before. The people of Western North Carolina see through it. Our campaign is on track to win a great victory next week, no matter what comes our way,” Cawthorn said in a statement to The Post. In defense of his constituent services, Cawthorn’s spokesman, Luke Ball, said the congressman began accepting cases the day after he was sworn in and has resolved more than 1,800 to date.
The opposition from Tillis and other GOP leaders seeks to bring a sudden end to the meteoric rise of a political newcomer who surged to celebrity status in Trump’s Make America Great Again movement. The race is shaping up to be a contest between MAGA star power and old-fashioned political pull — a test of how far a candidate (besides Trump himself) can go in juicing online outrage for campaign cash and bucking the party establishment.
“There are so many people saying crazy things these days and people shrug their shoulders, but it was more of the personal behavior that people started to view him as immature and erratic,” said Jim Blaine, of the firm, Differentiators, who says his group’s polling for the national Republican group GOPAC shows Cawthorn dipping in popularity and Edwards rising since March. “He would be a modern-day Icarus, except he flew into the sun.”
Even Trump, who endorsed Cawthorn during a visit to Mar-a-Lago in March 2021, may be distancing himself from the embattled freshman. At an April rally in Selma, N.C., Trump touted his endorsement of Ted Budd for Senate and Bo Hines in another House race, but of Cawthorn said only, “He’s a great guy.”
Cawthorn said Trump is “my friend and the leader of our party” and disputed “anonymous sources and nameless accusations.”
“No matter whether he wins or not, he’s severely damaged,” said Isaac Herrin, a Republican field organizer in the district. “The knives have come out because he has not been a friend to the people of his district who helped put him in office, and he has not been a friend of some of the people in North Carolina who hold political power.”
