There are the deep Maga that are never going to get it. They are the minority. May it always be.

We did not elect a KING and the president (or what is passing for one) barely got elected. Thank God for those who adhere to the Constitution and sanity.

And they still won't get how it happened to them. Hope you finally will wise up.

How about a respectful one willing to help all who doesn't see himself as King, but common enough to want to help everyone not just the rich and those who can enrich him as well.

And he owes millions. He's just another poser hoping no one notices. An insecure bully who couldn't find his way out of an exit w/o help and direction.

Just another unqualified loser who is apparently something of a narcissist believing he HAS more knowledge than anyone about things he has not invested a REAL study in because he knows and has no need to attend further study.

George Santos, the disgraced former representative, was sentenced to more than seven years in prison on Friday, bringing an end to an extraordinary controversy that began with a fraudulent congressional campaign.
He lied extensively about his life story both before and after entering the US Congress, where he was the first openly LGBTQ+ Republican elected to the body. He was ultimately convicted of defrauding donors.
Santos also alleged that the justice department was a “cabal of pedophiles”, in posts made to X. Prosecutors highlighted Santos’s comments in a filing after Santos’s defense team requested a two-year prison sentence.
The former representative later defended his remarks, saying he was “profoundly sorry” for his crimes but that a seven-year prison sentence was too harsh.
“Every sunrise since that plea has carried the same realization: I did this, me. I am responsible,” Santos wrote. “But saying I’m sorry doesn’t require me to sit quietly while these prosecutors try to drop an anvil on my head.”
Santos pleaded guilty to wire fraud and aggravated identity theft in August.
Prosecutors, at the time, highlighted Santos’s plea as the first time that he had “told the truth about his criminal schemes”.

I had basically forgotten about this guy. It is in fact nice to know how things have played out. He seems a mite upset about his sentence — thinking it's too long. Hmmm, I hope it's long enough and that he doesn't get out early.
Criminals need to know (and very important if they are government criminals) that there really is a price to pay. Seems often now that people are un-serious about oaths taken and the burden of wishing to have people elect you to represent them. We depend on these people and have to believe they are honest upright citizens. So, it's past time to make believers out of any that commit crimes knowingly and those who are serial in nature like Trump should have extra sentence added just for that.

BREAKING: North Dakota's Republican Governor Kelly Armstrong signs a horrifying bill to shield farm chemical manufacturers from lawsuits over their products — including the allegedly cancer-causing weed killer Roundup.
Republicans will choose corporations over innocent people every time...
"Out of state corporate interests are trying to mess with our abilities to reasonably defend ourselves in court from pesticide labels that are not doing their job properly," stated Sam Wagner of the Dakota Resource Council. "If your products aren’t safe, you should be held accountable."
"Every time we talk about regulation we get into a game of hot potato, the federal government tells us the state and local governments should handle this, and the state and local government tells us that the federal government should handle this and in the meantime the people suffer from this," he added.
"Ultimately, this sets a bad precedent," he said, adding that it will "arguably make it extremely tough for anyone to win a case" against a pesticide manufacturer in in North Dakota.
The legislation passed in the Republican-controlled state House and then passed the Republican-controlled state Senate despite all five Democratic senators and thirteen Republicans voting against it.
Bayer, a German chemical manufacturer, has aggressively pushed for legislation to shield it from expensive lawsuits over Roundup. The infamous herbicide contains glyphosate, which allegedly causes cancer. Bayer has already paid out $10 billion in settlements to cancer patients over the issue.
University of Washington Researchers found in 2019 that exposure to glyphosate can spike the risk of some cancers by over 40%.
The EPA has stated that glyphosate is safe so long as label directions are followed, but it's worth noting that the EPA — for all the good that it does — has also been accused of regulatory capture, in which corporations get their former or future employees embedded at the agency to skew findings in their favor.
According to this new North Dakota law, any warning labels that meet the incredibly low EPA standards will be considered "sufficient to satisfy any requirement for warning or labeling regarding health or safety."
This law is the first of its kind and constitutes a major handout to corporations as well as a profound betrayal of the public trust. If Republicans get their way, this entire country will be handed over to these companies on a silver platter and the rest of us will be reduced to living in an impoverished, poisoned world.
Sadly the buck never stops with the Reps. but they have a great leader/teacher right now that perhaps they are as well trying to appease. Hopefully this won't go over but little is certain these days.

BREAKING: Donald Trump backtracks on a key campaign promise and claims that he was speaking in "jest" and it was an "exaggeration" when he vowed to end the Ukraine war in 24 hours.
MAGA voters are the most gullible marks in history...
In a new interview with Time, Trump was asked to expound on the "role" that he's "playing on the world stage."
"It’s interesting because you see the relationship. I didn't want to wait, you know, have you leave the room, but you see the relationship," rambled Trump. "I have that relationship with many leaders."
"If I can stop losing 3,000 human beings a week on average, with Russia, Ukraine, it's only because of me, nobody else could have stopped it," he continued.
Just this week Putin struck the Ukrainian capital of Kyiv with missiles and drones, killing at least 12 people.
"I think we're going to do that, by the way. I think that'll be done. I think that we're going to make a deal with Iran. I think we're going to make a deal with Iran. Nobody else could do that," Trump added.
"You said you would end the war in Ukraine on Day One," the interviewer replied.
"Well, I said that figuratively, and I said that as an exaggeration, because to make a point, and you know, it gets, of course, by the fake news [unintelligible]," said Trump.
"Obviously, people know that when I said that, it was said in jest, but it was also said that it will be ended," he added.
Of course, Trump supporters did not think that it was an exaggeration when he made the absurd claim and many of them eagerly parroted it, arguing that his history as a supposed master negotiator would allow him to forge an immediate peace.
"Well what’s taking so long? When do you think it will be ended?" asked the interviewer.
"Well, I don’t think it’s long. I mean, look, I got here three months ago," said Trump. "This war has been going on for three years. It's a war that would have never happened if I was president. It's Biden's war. It’s not my war."
"I have nothing to do with it. I would have never had this war," he continued. "This war would have never happened. Putin would have never done it. This war would have never happened. Oct. 6 would have never happened. Oct. 7 would have never happened. Would have never happened. Ever."
"You then say, what’s taking so long? Do you hear this, Steve? The war has been raging for three years. I just got here, and you say, what's taken so long?" said Trump.
Trump went on to say that he doesn't believe Ukraine will ever "be able" to join NATO and that "Crimea will stay with Russia" while he simultaneously lobbed insults at President Barack Obama.
As usual, nothing is ever Donald Trump's fault. He is pathologically incapable of taking responsibility for his own manifold failures. If, at this point, you still believe a single word that comes out of this man's mouth, you are a willing fool.
All of this came from a TIME interview of recent origin which was long. It was the usual with Trump — thoughts often half expressed in sentences that didn't seem to match up well to the actual subject, along with the smattering of many lies and his evasions to relieve himself of having to give any answer at all.
I thought it so NOT at all clever to put the business of not facilitating Mr. Garcia out of Salvador on the shoulders of his lawyers but not surprised — the surprise was that he said something so foolish. It is well known that he is extremely bad at following advice and that what is happening is exactly what he wants. It was floated a while back that he may not bother to pay attention to the Supreme Court and he is not but is going to make his lawyers take that hit. He is being exactly who he is — numb in the head.

People were led long ago to believe in a person who had a GOOD television persona and got convinced it was real. Sad day for those of us who know what television can do and knew better than to believe w/o checking the record — the one that gives reality its due.

Well, I have to say there is definitely a wow factor to this. I will worry about here, but she is understanding and keeping her oath as a Judge. I hope that wills out as it should.

Well, that is much lower than the last I read which if I recall was like 43. I hope and pray this is fairly accurate then because something needs to change for the Reps. to get the spines they have kept hidden so well. I do hope they are still there.

BREAKING: Former U.S. Attorney Joyce Vance incinerates MAGA Attorney General Pam Bondi over her deranged appearance on Fox News during which she viciously attacked the judicial branch.
The Trump administration wants to destroy our court systems for good but thankfully heroes are standing up...
"No attorney general should ever speak like this. She's Trump's advocate, not the people's lawyer, which is what the AG's job is," Vance wrote on X, sharing a clip of Bondi.
"Whatever state she is barred in should start disciplinary proceedings immediately. This isn't subtle or arguable, it's wrong," she added.
In the clip in question, Bondi defended the Trump administration's decision to arrest a former judge in New Mexico for allegedly harboring gang members and undocumented migrants.
A sitting judge in Wisconsin was also arrested for allegedly helping an undocumented immigrant evade arrest after she stood up to plainclothes ICE agents agents who outrageously came to make an arrest inside her courtroom.
As is always with this administration, it's best to presume the worst and question any allegations that they level. They've been routinely deporting innocent people so we know that they have no interest in the truth.
"What's happened to our judiciary is beyond me," said Bondi, a flagrantly corrupt woman who during her time as Attorney General of Florida refused to join a lawsuit against the scam Trump University after Donald donated $25,000 to her PAC.
"When the American public hears this and they think these were once upstanding people in their communities and their professions and they put it all on the line for this," said the Fox host. "I mean, have you dug into their motive? Like what inspired them to carry out these acts and harbor criminals."
"They're deranged," claimed Bondi. "That's all I can think of. I cannot believe— I think some of these judges think they are beyond and above the law and they are not!"
Ironically, Donald Trump clearly sees himself above the law. He's a convicted felon and is still refusing to obey a 9-0 ruling from the Supreme Court to return Kilmar Abrego Garcia to the United States.
"And we're sending a very strong message today: If you are harboring a fugitive we don't care who you are," said Bondi. "If you are helping hide one, if you are giving a [Tren de Aragua] member guns, anyone who is illegally in this country, we will come after you and we will prosecute you."
"We will find you," vowed Bondi.
Let's be very clear. This is not about enforcing the law or keeping Americans safe. This is about terrorizing the judiciary so that judges are too afraid to stand up to Trump's increasingly fascist efforts to seize more and more power for himself.
I would say it's well beyond the pale that any Judge should have this happen. I'm thrilled that there are people who are still upholding our laws and speaking out loudly about those who are not and in fact are breaking laws right and left. Thank you, Joyce Vance,
