So much for him not being on any committees. I really hope all this stupid crap McCarthy is doing really comes back to bite him in the arse.

The NY Times - George Santos Lands 2 House Committees: Small Business and Science

 

17 Jan 2023

 


House Republican leadership placed Representative George Santos on two committees, even as some G.O.P. congressmen have called for his resignation.

 

 

Good Grief!  😯😯😯😯

 

 

Disgraceful, despicable and demonstrably typical of everything we've come to expect from American politicians.

 

The title of 'Representative' is especially appropriate.

Look out Don, Ron might be coming for you. At least, if this group of Republicans have their way.

CNN Politics - Trump criticizes evangelical leaders for not backing his 2024 presidential bid 

 

today

 


Just days before Donald Trump hosts his first 2024 event in South Carolina, a state whose evangelical population has long played a critical role in its presidential primary, the former president is lashing out at religious conservatives who have declined to endorse his third presidential campaign. ...

 

Nobody has ever done more for Right to Life than Donald Trump."

 

"I put three Supreme Court justices, who all voted, and they got something that they’ve been fighting for 64 years, for many, many years”...

 

There’s great disloyalty in the world of politics and that’s a sign of disloyalty” ...

 

Trump’s recent complaints about evangelicals and abortion opponents have baffled allies and advisers who recognize the crucial role both groups play in the conservative ecosystem and their sway in presidential primaries – a dynamic the former president is seemingly well aware of.

 

 

Donald is a very confused old man.  🧐

Stole this from elsewhere, but it made me smile

 

 

 

An assistant to Donald Trump told him she had a fantastic dream last night. There was a huge parade down Pennsylvania Avenue celebrating him. Millions lined the parade route, cheering when the President went past. Bands were playing; children were throwing confetti into the air, and there were balloons everywhere. It was the biggest celebration Washington had ever seen. Trump was very impressed and said, "That's really great! By the way, how did I look in your dream? Was my hair okay?" His assistant said, "I couldn't tell, the coffin was closed.

Wiki - Old Man Trump

 

 

"Old Man Trump" is a song with lyrics written by American folk singer-songwriter Woody Guthrie in 1954.

 

The song describes the racist housing practices and discriminatory rental policies of his landlord, Fred Trump. 

 

 

Like father, like son.  🙄

The White House is very happy all the Trump far-right nutjobs have been given Oversight Committee roles. It will make things very easy for Biden and co to paint them as unhinged (which, well, they are, really).

The Washington Post - Trump thought photo of accuser was of ex-wife during deposition

 

today  

 


NEW YORK - Donald Trump mistook his sexual assault accuser E. Jean Carroll for his ex-wife Marla Maples when shown a photograph from the 1990s in a deposition at Mar-a-Lago last year, potentially undermining one of the common defenses he has used to deny an attack.

 

Trump, who is being sued by Carroll, an author and advice columnist, for defamation and sexual assault stemming from the same alleged encounter, has repeatedly said Carroll is not his “type,” suggesting an assault could not have occurred because he would not have pursued her romantically.

 

That’s Marla, yeah. That’s my wife,” Trump said under examination from Carroll’s lawyer ...

 

Trump’s blunder in a sworn deposition was quickly corrected by his attorney ...

 

 

He's definitely losing it ...

As usual, Trump doesn't let pesky "facts" get in the way of spreading his bs.

 

Also: https://www.politico.com/news/2023/01/19/santos-denies-having-been-a-drag-performer-00078515 >> George Santos says the drag queen pic isn't him. I've seen it and if it's not him, he has a really convincing-looking twin out there somewhere.

To bad the the Republicans can't be more like French politicians and just "own" their law-abiding proclivities .

Obviously some shameless Republicans like Matt Gaetz can just seek a preemptive presidential pardon in relation to a child sex trafficking.



History News Network: Did J. Edgar Hoover Really Wear Dresses?

In 1993, Anthony Summers, in his book Official and Confidential: The Secret Life of J. Edgar Hoover, claimed that Hoover did not pursue organized crime because the Mafia had blackmail material on him. In support of that, Summers quoted Susan L. Rosenstiel, a former wife of Lewis S. Rosenstiel, chairman of Schenley Industries Inc., as saying that in 1958, she was at a party at the Plaza Hotel where Hoover engaged in cross-dressing in front of her then-husband and Roy Cohn, former counsel to Senator Joe McCarthy.

"He [Hoover] was wearing a fluffy black dress, very fluffy, with flounces and lace stockings and high heels, and a black curly wig," Summers quoted Susan as saying."He had makeup on and false eyelashes."

Susan claimed Cohn introduced Hoover to her as"Mary." Hoover allegedly responded,"Good evening." She said she saw Hoover go into a bedroom and take off his skirt. There,"young blond boys" worked on him in bed. Later, as Hoover and Cohn watched, Lewis Rosenstiel had sex with the young boys.

A year later, Susan claimed, she again saw Hoover at the Plaza. This time, the director was wearing a red dress. Around his neck was a black feather boa. He was holding a Bible, and he asked one of the blond boys to read a passage as another boy played with him.

It was episodes such as these, Summers declared, that the Mafia held over Hoover's head.

From: https://www.nbcnews.com/politics/donald-trump/federal-judge-sanctions-trump-lawyer-nearly-1-million-rcna66652 

 

A federal judge on Thursday sanctioned former President Donald Trump and one of his top attorneys nearly $1 million for filing a sprawling lawsuit against Hillary Clinton and other perceived political enemies "that should never have been filed."

 

U.S. District Judge Donald M. Middlebrooks said in his 46-page order that Trump, lead attorney Alina Habba and Habba Madaio & Associates were jointly liable for $937,989 in the suit he dismissed in September.

 

"This case should never have been brought. Its inadequacy as a legal claim was evident from the start. No reasonable lawyer would have filed it," Middlebrooks wrote, adding that the suit was intended "for a political purpose."

 

The Florida judge then went on to argue why he believed Trump, and not just his attorneys, were culpable.

 

Mr. Trump is a prolific and sophisticated litigant who is repeatedly using the courts to seek revenge on political adversaries. He is the mastermind of strategic abuse of the judicial process, and he cannot be seen as a litigant blindly following the advice of a lawyer. He knew full well the impact of his actions,” Middlebrooks wrote. “As such, I find that sanctions should be imposed upon Mr. Trump and his lead counsel, Ms. Habba.”

And I have to ask why this dumb Ruck has not been sent back home to the USA.

 

He clearly does not understand that the USA ends at the US boarders and that he does NOT have US rights here in NZ. He is however someone NZ can do without as an unfit person.
