Santos also took $3000 from a GoFundMe meant to help give a veteran's dog surgery she needed. The guy ended up having to scrape enough money to get her euthanized instead. Everywhere Santos goes he lies and steals.

This nearly broke my heart. Especially when they showed pictures of the poor dog.

He's so scummy I don't know how he lives with himself.

That's enough to get my support. Guy sounds like a real saint.

LGBTQNation - GOP bill would throw librarians in prison if they don’t remove books about sexual or gender identity
The North Dakota lawmaker who introduced the bill called such books "disturbing and disgusting."

Calls from George Santos' constituents were forwarded to a different GOP congressman's office

Protesters gather as officer in Taylor shooting speaks to GOP group

By the time they gathered to protest a dinner hosted by the Republican Women's Club of South Central Kentucky in which former Louisville Metro police officer Jonathan Mattingly planned to speak about the 2020 raid in which Breonna Taylor was shot and killed, protesters had learned that the Bowling Green Country Club was no longer hosting the event.

About a dozen people from Bowling Green Freedom Walkers collected at the corner of Louisville Road and Riverview Drive, holding signs commemorating Taylor and condemning what had originally been a $40 dinner organized by the local GOP chapter and featuring Mattingly and Kentucky Commissioner of Agriculture and Republican gubernatorial hopeful Ryan Quarles.

This guy will fit right in.

George Santos appears to admit drag queen past in Wiki post

He says he was never into doing that knowing full well how much Republicans claim to hate it now in recent years and are trying to ban it.

Trump stuck his face in Rudy Guiliani's chest in 2000 drag comedy skit (2018)

POS Thune posted about the "pro-life" march, so I replied on twitter with;

"Maybe...

raise wages
appeal food taxes
raise pto/childcare benefits
VOTE YES on women's rights protections
stronger foundations for the homeless
better care for addicts
more sustainable climate change adaptions

...you wont. You only know how to shout fake bible rhetoric."

 

[Sithborg]

I did not see the GOP becoming extremely pro-tobacco.

What even is going on in that world?

 

[Teelie]

The GOP is also pro-death and tobacco is a great way to kill people.

 

[:eek:]

At this point they pretty much are pro-everything that's bad for your health and/or the environment

It’s as I thought, stuff is everywhere.

First on CNN: Classified documents found at Pence's Indiana home | CNN Politics

A lawyer for former Vice President Mike Pence discovered about a dozen documents marked as classified at Pence's Indiana home last week, and he has turned those classified records over to the FBI, multiple sources familiar with the matter told CNN.

Yeah.....I commented on this in the Biden Garage thread. Basically:

We've clearly got a systemic problem with overseeing classified documents (thank you Captain Obvious).

Biden and Pence (probably) didn't commit any egregious act WRT docs. I suspect they were moved by staff, but a thorough investigation needs to take place. I doubt Pence took classified docs and if he did, I feel pretty certain it was by mistake.

Trump.......uh........

Good news politically for Biden. He tells people he's sure Pence is doing the right thing and drops it.

EDIT: Breaking news......The homes of Barack Obama and George Bush.....

 

[Frodo]

Probably Jimmy Carter too.

In Joe Biden voice:

Ah c'mon man!

 

[Drizzle]

EDIT: Breaking news......The homes of Barack Obama and George Bush.....

This just in: Classified documents folded into pretend pirate hats found at the home of George W. Bush

 

[InCali]

The jokes just write themselves.

I really don't see much of a difference between finding docs at the homes of Biden or Pence, but Pence really comes off with an embarrassing look as he was so emphatic about how careless Biden was and saying flat out that he didn't have any documents. I'm sure he wishes he had those words back. That's just the politics though. Substantively, things appear to be very, very similar and, in those 2 cases anyway, it shows we've got an underlying problem that needs to be addressed immediately.
