The "evil twin, Skippy" defense, eh? Did that work with his parents or something?

Wait, Chesebro is from Wisconsin?

I couldn't make this stuff up.

Reading Gateway Pundit really does endanger your brain. But sometimes when I haven't time or energy to read current issues in detail and think about them hard, I just bring up that tawdry website and scroll down through the headlines. Then I assume the opposite is true. I don't believe I've gone wrong that way yet.

I'm curious how this affects his Georgia plea deal.

Ask any conservative. They will tell you that when some Deep State Witch Hunter asks a question that FORCES YOU to lie, THAT is a perjury trap.

It still amazes me how many people were willing to torch their careers and reputations for Trump. Why? There are plenty of other republicans who are just as racist and fascist curious as Trump is. What hold does he have on these people?

Is it something even worse than what they’ve been caught doing for him?

Tax cuts. Never enough money. Yachts! Mansions! Art!

But like I said, there are plenty of other republicans who are more than willing to give them tax cuts for the wealthy. In fact, it’s impossible to find one who wouldn’t.

So why him?

He comes with that License to Hate free giveaway. IMHO.

Trump gives people permission to be assholes. That's also the appeal of Ayn Rand. Calvinism is part of the ideology. Something is profoundly wrong with the souls of Americans.

Agreed. Sigh.

Beats me. I often compare him to Asimov's The Mule. When you're too close to him, he can manipulate your mind in complicated ways...

The Mule was sterile.

Even so...

Of course! It's the well-known legal defense--" I was just spitballing!"

Sure, that will work!

I think every time this "person" enters a room, everybody should yell, "CHEESE, BRO!", like he's Norm on "Cheers".

Someone with photoshop skills needs to make a goofus and gallant meme of this clown.

Fried Chese.

How To Make Fried Chese

As with any frying project, we recommend setting up your work area for success. This means a great mise en place, with computers lined up for the postings, a clear frying area, and a separate cooling area after you finish frying. Here’s how we like to prepare our prison to make fried chese:

Set up three accounts, one each for lying and prevaricating, for Republicans, and finally for outright Fascists.

Dredge each piece of chese carefully, making sure that everything is evenly false at each step (posting, hiding, and covering up).

Transfer the prepared chese to another person's account and set up small Crypto accounts for cleaning (laundering) the proceeds. Making fried chese requires an additional step of hiding the accounts for at least six months from the authorities, so the accounts get perfectly hidden and misleading without overplaying your hand.

Once the chese trail is extra cold, plead guilty, and fry the chese in prison. Let the chese rot in prison for about five years.

Using a public relations expert, or similar tool, remove chese from prison, and carefully transfer to a lobbyiing firm to drain off extra taint.

You’re trying to tell me that the Cheese Bro is from Wisconsin? No I refuse to believe that. Too obvious. Lazy writing in this twisted alternative timeline

That is my favorite detail. I'm a sucker this kind of stuff. Herb Caen used to have a list of these too-perfect names.

See, there is Kenneth Chesebro, well-meaning, mild-mannered, hard-working lawyer to shady, high-priced clientele by day and CHEESE BRO! - Masked (but only, we assume, if the mask doesn't violate his 1st amendment rights ) avenger of the wrongly wronged and rightly-leaning. They have nothing to do with one another. You've never seen them together in the same room, so how can they be linked?
