Yeah, it appears to be a few naked guys goofing around in a very homo-erotic way. One of them is possibly Cauthorn. You don't see anything explicit, but it's certainly not going to play well to his constituents.

Tweet with video is in the GBS thread, for those interested. Judging by how mercilessly and single-mindedly the GOP is knifing Cauthorn, I can only conclude that the drug-fueled group sex parties he was talking about are 100% absolutely bonafide real. He struck the nerve of all nerves, and he's being crucified for it.

... of course!
The Cawthorn video is making the rounds on Twitter, it's not particularly explicit (other than man rear end) but my 2c. The actual link doesn't need posted here.

Looks like a hotel room couch with a wheelchair beside it, whoever is filming is across the room on a different bed. A naked man (presumably Cawthorn) starts humping pillows while making high-pitched noises and then weird grunts. The pillow humping pushes him on top of another (sleeping?) man, who wakes up and he and the camera person say "your dick is in his face" and "your rear end is in my face" or similar. They laugh, end clip.

It's pretty clearly some weird juvenile "bro" rough-housing. It's certainly plausible that Cawthorn is weird about personal space and nudity but that definitely ain't gay sex or evidence that he's had some romantic/sexual relationship with his male aide.

The dudes were nude and appeared to at least mime banging. You can't tell whether the bottom is Cawthorn or not, there's just a wheelchair. It is not a good sex tape.

I dunno. Obviously everyone's standards are different but I'm the furthest thing from a prude- I enjoy doing shocking things and nudity doesn't bother me. I had a wild 20's myself. I never quite found myself in situations where I'm fondling or pantomiming sex with someone who I wasn't involved with. It's rude and sexual assault if the other party doesn't consent.

It's not explicit evidence he's had some romantic/sexual relationship with his aide. But it certainly throws more fuel on the fire. I suspect most would be comfortable acting this way to a sexual partner, not just a "mere" friend.


Anyway it would be a non-story with Cawthorn being gay or bisexual and in other circumstances I'd be defending him from getting pulled out of the closet. But he pretends and has explicitly said he's a "hypermasculine" male and votes against the interests of LGBTQA. So, gently caress'em.

Yeah that's what the clip shows, it's definitely not sex, and I've seen straight guys do weird naked stuff in the showers in the army.

Sleeping naked in a hotel bed with another guy seems kinda gay though but the clip doesn't give us any context for why he's naked so who knows :shrug:

Yeah I can't come to any other conclusion honestly and I blew it off at first as Cawthorne just making it up like all those Satanic Panic grifters who claimed to have done all those human sacrifices etc, but why go to all this trouble to discredit him then.

Like if someone told me you tried to get them to come to a coke orgy I'd be "uh-huh sure" but if you responded by doxxing them and dropping every video of them being naked around anyone in their entire life I'd be like "oh dang I guess how are u really does host those coke orgies"

It can definitely be sexual assault and yeah you haven't done that because you're not an rear end in a top hat but like teabagging is real, childish bro dudes do poo poo like that to each other

E: but also gay dudes who are banging also joke around like that sometimes so ya know, not saying he can't be banging that dude on the side, could go either way

Yeah maybe but like they already humiliated him and totally discredited him by saying "oh okay name names then" and he backpedaled to saying he was being metaphorical or some poo poo and everyone laughed at what a liar and coward he was.

Doing this just makes it look real after all, but sure it could just be someone powerful and spiteful who isn't thinking it through and doesn't realize that by trying to destroy this guy after no one believed him is so excessive it looks like something a guilty person would do.

Yeah but he still has a career. If you were to perceive Madison Cawthorne as a threat to your power, then the only sure way to defang that threat is to politically end him.

But also yes I agree 100% the scale of this reaction implies that he was telling the truth because man they want him dead.

The point isn't that you get someone to work for you 100+ hours a week, it's that several people can help at different times. Many hands and all.

It isn't me that's going to take your state healthcare away. It isn't me that could stop it from getting taken away. It is going to happen though, so your concern shouldn't be with the people trying to sound the alarm, it should be on how you can prepare for when it happens.

CYBEReris posted:

Takes like this always make me scratch my head because one of the defining forms anarchist and communist action takes are mutual aid networks that serve the community with both broad and personal attention to their needs that are not being met by the status quo.

Frankly I trust them way more to care about my personal needs than the status quo currently does.

What do you think self directed care is? I have multiple people working different shifts. This isn't care that your neighbors have the time or energy for, or in the case of many of us, knowledge and training to provide skilled nursing care. You think I don't know the danger that can befall me every 2-4 years? I hear the alarm loud and clear and I am not attacking the messenger, I am telling you what happened. Graham-Cassidy fell one vote short of passage. The pressure campaign from groups like ADAPT pushed enough people to do the right thing and vote no. This only works if the pieces of poo poo elected are people that respond to pressure.

These posts show just how little people know about how the severely disabled live their lives, and how little they care to know. The massive amounts of financial, physical, and logistical resources that go into giving us a modicum of dignity are staggering. They are only possible at scale, and if I have learned one thing during my 37 years on this earth, it is that not enough people, ally or enemy, give a poo poo if we are alive or dead, preferably unseen in either case. We only exist in our communities because people have money taken out of their taxes.

Mutual aid works for many things, most things really, but needing someone else to feed you, keep you breathing, clean and dress you by directly pleading takes a bit of your soul every time. Every frustrated sigh when you ask for help because you have an itch or need to reposition because you are in pain, every time you sit for an hour without asking for help going to the bathroom because the anxiety growing in the pit of your stomach knows someone is going to be mad at you, not being able to choose when you eat, sleep, shower or go out; it just crushes you.

Even with home and community based services you still have to go without eating, going to the bathroom, sleeping sitting up, or sitting in silence if one of your PCAs calls out and you can't get a hold of your backup. Sometimes you might have to call an ambulance and spend the night in the ER. Then you have to stat contemplating institutionalization if it keeps happening. I knew someone who took their own life last year rather than go through with the later, and that was in CA, good luck getting hours in FL.

Most people are privileged enough to not have to think about these things. So much so that they can't even reason their way into uncovering these possibilities with a thought experiment. Even allies, even people who work in the field.

If the thought is that electoral politics won't fix anything and change is won elsewhere, why can't we keep the lights on anyway? What about denying Republican majorities is preventing extra-electoral action.

Can direct action and striking only occur if the senate has a republican majority? Why can't we make being a Senator a nightmare now? Why can't we ruin their vacations and time off now?

I know I'm just screaming into the void and no one will change their mind in an online debate, so this is it for me for a little bit but maybe this was something to someone.

I'm going to be really disappointed if it turns out Cawthorn was lying about the cocaine and orgies, but I feel like that's probably the case at this point. If there was any risk of him being able to name names, they'd probably be holding some of this poo poo back as blackmail material, instead of putting everything into twisting that knife for all it's worth.

I'm still holding out hope for him to stay in the race, though, it'd be really funny if he won even after all this and they end up stuck having to deal with him for another two years. Him and McCarthy deserve each other.
