Don’t look now folks but there are barbarian hoards of FBI agents at the gate, and the seizure of the Pillow Guy’s cellphone is but a harbinger of the end of the Republic as foretold by Rush Limbaugh on Madison Cawthorn’s Dad’s car radio.
If it were not for the fact that what the pillow guy and the hamberder guy were and are engaged in is a literal attempt to bring about the demise of the American Republic by creating a unaccountable autocrat at the top, which is exactly what caused the Fall of Roman Republic centuries before Rome was actually sacked, Madison might be on to something.
But he is not, because both he and Limbaugh are lousy historians and idiots:
just some guy selling pillows… 🧐https://t.co/dqsE8TntnG

But those are just promo codes,TrashPanda.
I’m convinced that Cawthorn recently learned about the fall of the Roman Empire. He seems to refer to it without understanding it a lot.

👍👍 Because there are no Hardee’s in prison.
Wasn't he the guy from NC who tried to bring a gun on a plane then got caught having sex with his cousin?

Yeah but only because car radio Limbaugh told him to…
Just your average pillow salesman waiting to show off his coup plans at the WH. Totally normal. pic.twitter.com/PomoOvMhRI

Preach, Gerry!
More lying and whining from Republicans? Don't Republicans ever get tired of lying and whining? Do Republicans need their diapers changed? Do Republicans need a nap? pic.twitter.com/o3fBXGz1T7

Yes, yep and yup.
👇👇👇👇
The elections of people like Madison Cawthorn were what signified the end of the Republic.

Exactly, Hedley.
Rush Limbaugh… that certainly explains a lot.
— Barbara Davis, author & Roe voter (@bdavisauthor) September 15, 2022
Yup
So Biden’s election didn’t end of the republic?
Nor Pence not hijacking the Electoral College?
Normalizing insurrection hasn’t ended us?
Nor the search warrant on a criminal former president?
But a search warrant for the phone of a pillow salesman did in the country?— Frank Langben (@FrankLangben) September 15, 2022
History according to Cawthorn.
When your news organization is so insignificant, you can only get Madison Cawthorn to sound off on it… pic.twitter.com/0BeXRRcBUU

Is Real America's Voice the channel you go on when you are too crazy for OAN, which is where you go when you are too crazy for Newsmax, which is where you go when you are too crazy for Fox News?

Yep. And the same maxim holds for their audience.
Perhaps rather than making the rounds of crazy MAGA news networks, Madison might consider turning off his dad’s radio in his head and actually reading some history.






















You can always recognize the members of congress who “earned” a H.S. diploma/G.E.D. and decided to call it a day. A total lack of any knowledge of our planet’s history is a pretty good tell.
Ahh yes, the end of the Roman Republic – when an armed gang attacked the Senate and killed one of its leading members. The poor benighted GQPers were different – their gang was a LOT bigger and they didn’t manage to actally catch any members of the Senate to haul off to their home made gallows
Cawthorn should actually try READING what happened before re-inventing the events.
He also sort of misses the point that Gaius Julius was ‘dictator for life’ (just like his idol Don John wants to be)
Maddie isn’t it time to change into your silky sexy nighty, lay your whittle head on one of those lousy pillows sold on TV, and cry your heart out? Get moving. Hey I hear there’s a sale at Victoria secret. Some real sexy stuff. Call Lindsey. He may want to go. Or are you guys broken up?
I wonder if Maddy will give one of those “farewell” speeches in the Well of the House before exiting (not nearly soon enough, but he never should have gotten in there in the first place) and regale us with more Roman history. Complete with trying to turn himself into a modern Cicero. I wouldn’t be the least bit surprised. It would sure as hell make for a lot of fun on social media, and even mainstream media talking heads (including perhaps even some on Fox) would get in some jokes at his expense. As I say, entertainment is where you can find it.
I translated Cider one Catalonia ovations in 3d year Latin. I suspect that if he were around today he would be saying’ “Go forth from this Congress,,GOP.”
I think you meant Marcus Tullius Cicero ‘In Catilinam’ – this bit perhaps?
“Quo usque tandem abutere, Catilina, patientia nostra? quam diu etiam furor iste tuus nos eludet? quem ad finem sese effrenata iactabit audacia?”
(How far will you abuse our patience, Catiline? For how much longer will that rage of yours make a mockery of us? To what point will your unbridled audacity show itself?)
O tempora! O mores!
I’m actually surprised that there are others who learnt Latin – after hearing Schumer and McConnel pronouincing ‘sine die’ as ‘sign dye’ (note: it’s actually ‘sinn-eh dee-eh). If I had pronounced it that way in Latin class, I’d have had a piece of chalk bouncing off my ear
Does anyone even care what this POS has to say? I wish him and abbot would have a wheel chair race right off of a cliff!
