I thought at first that this was a parody post and it is in the sense that Madison Cawthorn himself is a parody of a congressman and a human being. But it looks to be a real thing. When...
Almost no one in next year’s incoming anemic GOP House Majority was around the last time that the Democratic Party overcame the midterm jinx of the party in charge of the Oval Office to stave off a rout in...
It's interesting how ideas that start out as jokes sometimes take on a life of their own and gain substance. Last year the notion of Donald Trump running for a House seat from the State of Florida was dropped...
