Will... absolute gold with the 'cut throat ratfuckery' line.

This piece is a work of art. Absurdist, post modernist art. The fact that you manage to round up a juicy and insane story like this every week is truly a testament to how broken many of our citizens’ brains are… but those broken brains must be documented!

Okay so I haven't actually read the whole thing yet but I just have to come here and ask... He was having an argument with his mother? Was he sharing a hotel room with his mother? Inquiring minds want to know...

A lot of meth usage happening in the MAGA world: this guy, the dude who hits himself in the face with a hammer, Kid Rock (probably), RFK Jr (probably, listen to his voice). Checks out.

What a bunch of useless crap! Who gives a F anyway? Get out of other folks bedrooms!

I really got into this one, because I was born in River Falls Wisconsin. Back in the Neolithic era! And lived in the town next-door, 10 miles away, until I went to college. So it’s a beautiful little town and to think this sort of thing was happening at some cheap motel makes me laugh. But good for the Police in River Falls, of course there is a college there, the university of Wisconsin River Falls. So they’re probably used to dealing with nonsense.

Thanks for the insight! I spent some summers with my grandparents in Menomonee Falls, Wisconsin, I'm a Wisconsin boy at heart.

I definitely made myself a little treat before settling in to read this delectable prose. Everything happening here is just as ridiculous as anything you’d see on TMZ, only it’s our nation at stake (lol cry.)

Can we get Hannah Yoest's take on the Bovino2028 graphic? It giving...I don't know...a mid-20th century Western European vibe. I can't quite place it.

OMG, you just reminded me of John Oliver's video about medical quacks selling medical quack stuff during regular "news shows." His crew made up an item (hysterical in itself), but apparently the "reporter" didn't get the reference regarding when in the 20th Century the item's science was "pioneered". https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=sIi_QS1tdFM (Skip to 16:26 if you just want to see the part I'm talking about, but the whole episode is very funny.)

When can we get a good count of just how many of these lunatics are out there?

Will - always enjoy your coverage of right wing lunacy.

Question: did you mean a play on words with the "Meth scandal rocks" title?

If so, kudos.

If not, still kudos, bc I think then that you did it sub-consciously.

Jacob Engels appears to have a real talent for insults if he can throw out "double-jointed p*ssy" while highly intoxicated.

He has a way with words!

Dear Lord, Will. The freak show goes on and on. Pretty soon, they will be the ‘normies’ and we will be the freaks.

I'm old enough to remember various Soviet leaders claiming Americans are degenerate. And here we are.

"The far-right club is undergoing something of a purge as it tries to shed the riffraff from its ranks." Then who's left?

Nick Fuentes? Totally not gay.
