I'm basically here to listen. Am here for #politics...yeah and maybe a bit more. My personal motto: "Always Bring A Book".

I'm glad Dominion voting systems is suing Fox News. Lawyers for Fox are saying that 1.6 billion dollars overstates the damages done to Dominion voting systems, but I maintain the damage done to our country...to our national trust in voting is incalculable. Tens of millions of people have been convinced by Fox that the 2020 election was stolen. $1.6 billion is chump change for what Rupert Murdoch and his gang of thugs at Fox News did to us.

Several House Republicans told Axios they would support the resolution.

Republican’s first response to pretty much everything: “Shoot at it.”

The irony is that if it was shot down sooner, they’d have been on Faux News criticizing him for allowing the military to shoot it down over land. Biden handled it properly.

“George Santos — if that is his name — will be at the State of the Union. His presence alone disgraces the entire Congress. The tolerance of his criminality, fraudulence and psychotic lying by the Republican Congress is evidence of decay and malfeasance that beggar description.”

The state of the union is perilous

Two Nazis were arrested before they were able to launch their attack against Baltimore’s power grid. Their goal was to cause chaos, mayhem and death by plunging a troubled American city into darkness. How many more extremists are ready to commit acts of political violence against innocent Americans, critical infrastructure and vital institutions? How many are out there? Are they organized? Well-funded? Emboldened? Do they stand outside of society, or are they part of a political coalition that wants them because without them the party can’t win? Who are they? Why would any American choose to become a Nazi?

Voter fraud at a GOP stronghold leads to another light sentence

Quite a few Republican voters were caught casting illegal ballots in the 2020 elections. In each case, judges didn’t exactly throw the book at them.

George Santos is a PATHOLOGICAL liar.

George Santos is a COMPULSIVE liar.

I for one have never seen anything like this.

Compulsive lying or pathological lying do not appear to be a specific mental health disorder, but they must surely be part of a major psychiatric disorder.

The guy needs psychological help for his mental condition. He should not be in Congress.

Holy shit. An online post has been unearthed showing George Santos saluting Hitler and apparently joking about “kill... the jews and black mostly.” A former friend says he would make offensive jokes about Jewish people while falsely claiming to be Jewish. https://patch.com/new-york/glencove/george-santos-posted-deeply-offensive-comment-hitler-jews
