Birds of a feather, flock together. So do abusers.
Trump: Protector of abusers, rapists and pedophiles. Chuck Edwards, Max Miller, Chuck, Andrew Tate, Brett Kavanaugh, Pete Hegseth... Click for details.
We all have to stop thinking in terms of "Election Day." In most places, it's "Election Month" now. Which has interesting implications for the concept of the "October Surprise." Too early, and the opposing candidate can recover. Too late, and a lot of people have already voted. Perhaps the topic of another article?
I'm just surprised they forced him out. The usual GOP MO is to deny and protect when it comes to their serial harrassers and abusers. Makes me wonder why they didn't circle the wagons for Edwards, like they've done for all their many other creepos.
Because by dumping him they hope to get a candidate with a better shot at defeating Jamie Ager, who has been doing really well in the district. Area Dems are definitely hoping that their calculations are wrong.
Love your Chuck E. Sleaze headline! It's absolutely perfect. I don't think that the sleaze has trickled down from the top. I think it's been there, but trump has given men permission to let their hair down, be their real selves. As I see it, the sleaze we're seeing in the house is no different from encouraging bigots to come out from under their rotten logs.
It's not hard to look better, and at least a woodchuck is cute (IMO). The caveat is that I've never had one in my yard, only voles that destroyed my hostas.
The Republicans of the NC 11th District sure know how to pick ‘em! Edwards’ predecessor in the NC 11th seat was Madison (Tree-puncher) Cawthorn, and Cawthorn succeeded Mark (Election-Fraud) Meadows. That’s Meadows followed by Cawthorn followed by Edwards, for those keeping score at home—a veritable tryptic of losers, miscreants, and sleazeballs.
Asheville is a blue city surrounded by a sea of red in a large heavily gerrymandered district. It’s definitely not just Madison Co. It’s pretty much every county in the district.
True, USBlue. I'm one toke over the County line. Know from yard signs around me that's Democrats here, also. Besides, political signs seen close by include Support for Ukraine and Immigrants.
As a reminder, Ohio Rethugs had until yesterday to force Max Miller out, but he's still running. Therefore, the Ohio GOP is stuck with him, and they own his abusive behavior. Good!
Wonder if Moreno will now go quiet about his ex son-in-law.
And what about Neal Dunn (R-FL) who hasn't been seen since June? What is it with all these Republicans who get to disappear for months with "health issues"?

all under the guise of religion; it makes me sick
And the Chuckster even modeled his flyblown 'do after his Lord and Master, but to no avail...ah, the smell of burnt GOPer toast in the morning!
I wanted to throw up reading Edwards quote "after much prayer and reflection" he decided to withdraw.
Don't you just love it?!!
Bless his heart....
The curse of the south!
is he catholic? priests who did worse were protected for a long time and he was praying for the same intervention they got.
signed; former altar boy who has personal experience with this.
GQP pervs always say that 🤢
Thanks for focusing on NC-11. We're working hard to win this one!
Please 🙏 and thank you!
Good luck, Beth! I am making a donation to Jamie Ager from California. 💙
Excellent! Thanks!
I’m sorry - I’m still in the middle of reading but stopped to highlight this hilariously tragic little gem:
“None of this behavior would be acceptable in any workplace, but this was Congress, so the pattern continued.”
I’m laughing, rolling my eyes and crying at the same time: this beautifully encapsulates what politics is anymore. Well done, Jay!!
Republicans have a lot less than 90 days to introduce a new candidate. Early voting in North Carolina starts on Oct. 15.
Great point

Another good point!
Yes, the deadline is actually Aug. 20, in time to get ballots printed for absentee voting.
I'm just surprised they forced him out. The usual GOP MO is to deny and protect when it comes to their serial harrassers and abusers. Makes me wonder why they didn't circle the wagons for Edwards, like they've done for all their many other creepos.
Probably because there's something worse that hasn't been disclosed yet.
That's what I'm thinking. And that "something" is probably linked to more powerful people.

Good question.

💅🏼
Perfect emoji, Jay!
Even my woodchuck that drives me crazy in my backyard looks better than that guy! Same kind of woodchuck jowls though.
It looks like he uses the same hair “stylist” as the cheeto pedo in chief

Spot on, Susan!
Thank you, Judy.
wow I thought this was a photo of the orange one... with darker hair, mustache, and glasses. creepy
I'm so tired of listening to these people talk about praying. Clearly it is not working.
One wonders if he ever prayed about stopping his egregious behavior, or if it was simply praying that he would not get caught.
Knock, knock! Karma calling!🤣
👏👏👏. (Finally! Karma, you are seriously late arriving!)
As is true in any organization, the boss or manager sets the tone. Yes indeed!

Do better, NC 11th. Do better.
We’re trying, but it’s hard when the state is gerrymandered to hell.
All 11th District Dems are exempt from criticism!
Think part of the problem in this District 11 is the inclusion of Madison County, which is Very heavily Red County, IMO.

And now Cawthorn is in Cape Coral, FL, running for Congress in District 19! 😳 kinda tells me that the financial rewards and perks must be substantial.
🤯😠💀💀💀 that sleazebag...Of course Floriduh is the ideal place for that creepazoid, but I am sorry for the District in which he is running for Rep.
I hear that the trees are extra-specially punchable there.
And it would hardly take anything to do better, just elect or run even a normal human being.
Agreed, but where in the MAGA-verse might they find such a unicorn?
Somebody please ask the Ethics Committee to explain to the Sens and Reps that “United States Congress” is not the same as “sexual congress.”

This isn’t my MO, to judge on appearances, but knowing now what he’s done, I gotta say that “Chuck” just *looks* like a smarmy SOB, doesn’t he?
I thought it was Colonel Sanders in a very old photo! 😃
Before his hair went white! Hilarious!! I love it! Now I can’t ‘unsee’ that!!😂
