More Trouble for Santos, This Time in Brazil Even as Representative George Santos surrendered in federal court on Long Island on Wednesday, another criminal case immediately loomed: Brazilian law enforcement authorities will conduct a hearing on Thursday on an allegation of check fraud. The...

How Original! "Santos added that he was facing what he called a 'witch hunt.'" (Source) A "witch hunt?" Really? How original! Those who are fond of crying witch hunt would do well to consider how effective that actually is (it isn't). No court has accepted that arguement in any court it has...

I once had a summer job working for a railroad, pounding spikes, repairing track, etc. On our crew was a man from Mexico who spoke little English, but, oh, how he could work. The man worked harder than all of us and that was his second full-time job after the factory job he also held. People who...

While I'm not as outspoken on this issue as I am on some others, the state of our southern border troubles me. A border should mean something and it is befuddling to me how so many thousands can be allowed to enter the US without authorization. I'm not big on a wall but a road would be nice; one...

Trump is likely to appeal whether he has legitimate reasons or not. The quote you cite above is a reach as grounds for appeal. What gets appealed is the court case, not post-trial interviews. And the quote is such that anyone can read anything they want into those words, depending on the theory...

Santos Conditions of Release "[Santos] pleaded not guilty during an 11-minute hearing and was released on $500,000 bond. Santos must submit to pretrial services, have random monitoring at his home, surrender his passport, and any travel outside of New York state and Washington, D.C., must be...

Republicans Not United Behind Santos Instructive quotes below: (Source) Rep. Elise Stefanik, Republican of New York and conference chair, asserted that the legal process would “play itself out.” Other Republicans who aren’t in leadership have been more forceful in their...

Not exactly a scientific survey of party criminality. On the flip side, at the presidential level, the Republicans have the decisive lead. Sadly, politics is a domain that attracts or develops certain criminals. Some enter the game with criminal intent. Others give into the temptations of power...

They have come to know him better in recent days, haven't they? His donors must be especially proud of him. "More than half of the charges relate to allegations that Santos solicited donations from political donors and then pocketed the funds for personal expenses." (Source)

I do not disagree, but It's also repugnant to let a snake like that slither about while he awaits his day in court in a justice system that is painfully slow.

I asked ChatGPT about this and got this answer: (Emphasis mine) Reviewing the list, we see no one was expelled prior to being convicted. Some resigned after being indicted but before they were convicted, as it was clear they would be expelled. Democrats: Michael Myers (D-PA): In 1980, Myers...

Santos Charged - Faces 20 Years in Prison "Rep. George Santos, R-N.Y., was charged by federal prosecutors for an array of crimes, including fraud, theft, money laundering and making false statements." “'Taken together, the allegations in this indictment charge Santos with relying on repeated...

Tucker on Twitter "Soon" "Elon Musk said Twitter had not signed a deal with the host, who would be subject to the same rules as other 'content creators'. "On Tuesday, Carlson said he would be bringing a 'new version' of his show to Twitter soon in a message captioned 'we're back'". (Source)...

Ratings: MSNBC Now Tops FOX News For those who seek to own the libs, things aren't gong your way in the FOX News/Tucker Carlson matter. Carlson is off the air. FOX is in free-fall. And a costly war has broken out between the two. What's not for a lib to love...

Let the games begin! Popcorn ready.

I suggested above that the longer Carlson is off the air, the more his audience will fade. That is not an instant thing. Audience degradation happens over time. It's not going to happen this week or next. It will happen over weeks and months if he remains off air that long. And it will not be...

And soon, he will have $5 million less of it. If the past is any indication, he will lose his appeal. And about the dragging it out part, that's not working like it did before. The courts are on to him and judges are increasingly preventing Trump from using the courts for his own selfish...

The Jury Has Spoken https://www.cnbc.com/2023/05/09/trump-rape-defamation-trial-jury-gets-instructions-from-judge-.html

The link you posted alerted me to something I had not previously thought about. So the article was interesting and thought-provoking in that regard. While the piece is valid, one part of it is not. When the author said, "Unfortunately, because it’s taboo to express negativity regarding the...

They can allege all they want. Time will tell if they are right.
