The most common comment on X last night was “It’s not gay if it’s a three way.”

The hypocrisy with this family is amazing. Tom Edward’s the gay member of the Sarasota school board said he didn’t care if Bridget was involved in a lesbian relationship but was against her banning of book in schools. Bravo Sir, bravo.

Satirical video. Makes you think: is the USA really a defender of democracy?

A confused judge rules on a group of four (???) in the "sovereign citizen movement"

Apparently Florida law enforcment is very familiar with dealing with the sovereign citizen movement" in the same way a chronic Hemorrhoids patient is familiar with itching.

BBC News - George Santos: Expelled congressman is now selling $200 videos on Cameo

today

George Santos, the Republican congressman expelled last week by the US House of Representatives, is now selling videos on the Cameo website.

Mr Santos, who labels himself a "former congressional Icon" on the platform, is selling personalised messages recorded by him for $200 each.

On Mr Santos's Cameo profile he describes himself as "the Expelled member of Congress from New York City".

Cameo is a service that allows fans to buy personal video messages from their favourite celebrities.

Pathetic. 🙄

How the (not so) mighty have fallen.

As someone who is NOT a police officer, I am glad I don't have to deal with sovereign citizens.

If I were a grocery cashier, I wouldn't want to deal with a sovereign citizen.

The NY Times - McCarthy Says He Will Leave Congress at the End of the Year

breaking

Former Speaker Kevin McCarthy, Republican of California, who made history as the first speaker to be ousted from the post, announced on Wednesday that he would leave the House at the end of the year ...

Mr. McCarthy’s imminent departure will shrink the already slim Republican majority, which went to three seats from four with the expulsion last week of Representative George Santos of New York. ...

His announcement came just days before California’s Dec. 8 filing deadline to run for re-election.

A reader's comment: "All that time, money and energy, all so he could achieve the title 'My Kevin'. What a fitting end to a dubious career."

So does the Governor of California select someone to replace him, or do they hold (I guess what we would call) a by-election?

His departure means California Governor Gavin Newsom will have to soon call a special election for electing a replacement.

Regarding the shrinking Republican majority, to quote Trump: "We are going to win so much, you may even get tired of winning"

Governor Newsom is a Democrat. He has the power to fill a US Senate seat, but he has to call a special election to fill a Congressional seat. (see above)

The Washington Post - Pro-Trump electors indicted in Nevada, the third state to issue charges

breaking

A Nevada grand jury has charged six Republicans who claimed to be presidential electors in 2020 and submitted certificates to Congress falsely asserting that former president Donald Trump had won the election in their state. ...

The indictments had been widely anticipated this month because the [3 year] statute of limitations for levying certain charges was due to expire on Dec. 14 ...

The Washington Post - For $350, George Santos will congratulate, cheer or troll you

05 Dec 2023

Less than a week after his historic expulsion from the House of Representatives, ousted New York Rep. George Santos is speaking out - and he’s saying it for $350 * a message.

The disgraced ex-congressman debuted Monday on Cameo, the video-sharing platform where users can commission a personalized message from actors, athletes and varying grades of celebrities. ...

Santos hamming it up on Cameo videos probably has little to do with any strategy for reputation rehabilitation; it’s simply a way to make money, which he needs for his legal defense.

* His price has gone up.

Mike Johnson claims God Spoke to him, apparently, he has been chosen.

Literally like he thought he was the new Moses.

He literally means been woken from sleep over a series of days,
and having direct conversations with God.

This is the mental state of someone in one of the highest offices of one of the most powerful nations in the world.

Mike Johnson Claims That God Prepared Him to Be a “New Moses”
https://slate.com/news-and-politics/2023/12/mike-johnson-christian-nationalist-lawmakers-moses.html

""
In a speech at a gala celebrating right-wing Christian lawmakers on Tuesday night, House Speaker Mike Johnson thanked the event organizers for kicking reporters out. “I’ll tell you a secret since the media’s not here,” he promised them. (It’s unclear if Johnson knew that the event’s organizer would post a video of the gala on his personal Facebook page.)

That secret was a series of conversations he’d had with God in the lead-up to the speaker vote that anointed him:
""
And the Lord told me very clearly to prepare. OK, prepare for what? I don’t know. “We’re coming to a Red Sea moment.” “What does that mean, Lord?”
""

Has bat crazy 'My Pillow' guy hidden a phone in his pillow for Putin.
Everyone knows God talks with Russian accent, as he is Orthodox God.

Trump must be so 'burned' that he did not think of this,
just say God directly talks to you like Moses, and then you can do anything. Its instructions from God.

There was a a treasonous ancient Egyptian priest, Osarseph, who renamed himself Moses and led a successful coup against the presiding pharaoh. After ruling Egypt for years, the pharaoh regained power and expelled him. Maybe that's the Moses he's thinking of :)

Or maybe he think he has the political views of someone living around 3,000 years ago. That would make sense.

Or maybe he'd like 40 years of wandering aimlessly.

Or maybe he'd like to outlive his rivals. Moses died at 120 years old when the average lifespan was somewhere between 25 to 38.

Or maybe he sees himself dying of murder, suicide or in battle. That's what about 1/4 of men did at the time of Moses.

Or perhaps he's just into wearing robes and a veil in public. Paul's Second Letter to the Corinthians goes on for quite a length that Moses wore a veil to cover the afterglow of God radiating from his face.
