Cowards indeed!

And: https://www.thewrap.com/george-santos-heckled-for-lies-social-media/ << a humorous look at the George Santos saga (I don't believe Trump had anything to do with this guy getting elected, but he's certainly closely aligned with him).

I know I've often said that Ron De Santis is a more polished version of Trump - and I still think he is. But that doesn't mean he would make a better president than Trump.

https://www.theguardian.com/us-news/2023/jan/02/hope-hicks-january-6-domestic-terrorists

"Hope Hicks, a former key ally of Donald Trump, texted another White House aide “we all look like domestic terrorists now” as the then president’s supporters overran the US Capitol on 6 January 2021.

“In one day he ended every future opportunity that doesn’t include speaking engagements at the local proud boys chapter,” Hicks texted to Radford, in an apparent reference to Trump and the violent rightwing group the Proud Boys.

“Yup,” Radford replied.

In a further message, Hicks wrote: “And all of us that didn’t have jobs lined up will be perpetually unemployed,” adding that “I’m so mad and upset.”

“We all look like domestic terrorists now,” she wrote.

“Oh yes I’ve been crying for an hour,” Radford responded."

Interesting, I thought she did get a job after leaving the White House, or maybe I'm thinking of the first time she left.

The Guardian - House of lies: outrage as Republicans prepare to swear in fantasist Santos

02 Jan 2023

The New York politician who admitted making up much of his life story is facing calls for him to quit, even from within his own party.

A crescendo of bipartisan outrage will accompany the swearing in on Tuesday of George Santos, one of the Republican party’s most controversial new Congress members who has admitted large parts of his biography are a fantasy.

The New York politician, caught in lies over his family background, education and work history, is facing calls to step down from several senior figures within his own party before he even sets foot on the floor of the chamber. ...

Yet in a reflection of his importance to would-be speaker Kevin McCarthy’s personal ambitions, the current Republican leadership has remained all but silent on the Santos affair.

McCarthy needs every vote he can get from the party’s precariously thin majority to win the gavel, and appears willing to embrace a self-confessed liar to get there.

A fine example of Trumpism in action.
