I realise this thread is mostly about Trump and his band of idiots, but Jamie Lee Ross was pretty deplorable too (IMO). Have a look at what he's doing now:

Concerning especially after all the sexual harassment allegations that were made against him.

Thanks for fixing that, not sure what happened there - I tested it and it appeared to work. Odd.

I thought this was quite clever - a role for Santos if he loses next year (which I hope the liar does):

breaking

The court at The Hague accused the Russian president of bearing criminal responsibility for the abduction and deportation of Ukrainian children.

Human rights groups praised the move, though the likelihood of an imminent arrest appeared slim.

Rolling Stones: ‘Saturday Night Live’ Weekend Update Goes After Tucker Carlson’s Trump Texts and Jan. 6 Video Edits
...
Carlson, joked Colin Jost, “released security footage from the January 6 attacks with the violence edited out and said it proves it was a peaceful gathering, which is like editing all the sex out of a porn video and saying it’s a short film about being a stepmom.”

Co-anchor Michael Che then addressed Carlson writing of Trump, “I hate him passionately,” yet on his primetime show offering a friendly environment for election conspiracies.

“That must suck to go on TV, put on a smile and make friends with some psychotic bigot just because it’s good for the show. Anyway, back to you, Colin,” Che quipped to his colleague.

Republicans: always trots out the "Think about the children", but seems obsessed with a lot of dark thoughts.

This Republican congressman accused of lying on resume faces questions over US $25k funds for child burial garden

The only person willing to back up Andy Ogle’s explanation is a man who was accused of defrauding the federal government in 2016.

Tennessee NewsChannel 5: What did Republican congressman Andy Ogles do with nearly $25,000 meant for child burial garden? He won't say

What did Tennessee [Republican] Congressman Andy Ogles do with tens of thousands of dollars meant for a children's burial garden?

We have uncovered more questions that the freshman Republican won't answer.
...
It's a story that goes far beyond questions about Ogles' inflated resume. It's a story that stems from a personal tragedy — the stillborn death of a child whose photo Ogles sometimes posts on his political social media — and a GoFundMe that allowed Ogles to rake in tens of thousands of dollars for what was supposed to be a children's burial garden.

Yet, what makes it a story is the fact that there is no burial garden, no one knows where their donations went, and Ogles refuses to say what he did with the money.

...We heard repeatedly was how two days after the loss of the child in 2014, Ogles himself used a photo of his stillborn baby for a GoFundMe for something he called "Lincoln's Place."

It implored: "Help us help other families. No family should have to bury their child; no child should be alone."

Florida is home to Donald Trump, and may be the home of our next president, Ron Desanatis

Here's a new Florida textbook, with civil rights hero Rosa Parks. It removes any references to race

Pathetic.

One thing I don't get about Republicans who dribble on incessantly about "freedoms" but then turn around and say they're banning this book, or that book (or even making abortion illegal) - isn't that infringing on my rights to whether I choose to read said book or not? Stopping a woman from choosing to have an abortion or not - that's her right, isn't it? Isn't it all totally hypocritical?

They're all about the rights of the foetus. Republicans care deeply about the lives of unborn children. Once they're born though, stuff 'em!

It's all very Handmaid's Tale.
