Video shows drag-denier George Santos dressed in drag, boasting about drag shows

The video shows Santos, clad in a black dress and sunglasses, speaking in Portuguese to an interviewer at the Pride parade in the Rio suburb of Niteroi in 2005.

George Santos in Prison looking in the mirror

All Kevin McCarthy can do is deflect and deny when asked whether he still supports Trump and Santos. Should have got out in front of it Kevin when you had the chance, now you look weak and incredibly ineffective.

Can't afford to lose a repugnant seat or go against their master

After reading the 20 pages - Either Santos has some dumb people advising him or he is as dumb as a bag of rocks (or both).

-Collected NY state unemployment for COVID layoff while employed. Affirming weekly of employment status as unemployed. W-2 and 1099 are filed with state and IRS. That's an easy slam-dunk to prove.
-Falsely claimed federal tax exempt status
-Fraudulent wire transfers



Based on the Grand Jury Charges - He is fucked. - that is only federal. I'm sure NYS will also do something.

Santos is a great Dunning-Kruger effect case study.

Every clip I have seen so far of the Town Hall makes it look like a train wreck.

I have not seen any clips but I was imagining something worse than a train wreck.

Scary in all of this. If the GOP lets the US default his vote is a deciding vote on it.

There was only one way it could go, CNN knew exactly what it was going to be when they set it up.

Oh yeah they got the ratings and publicity they needed out of it.

What do you think the majority of Americans worship?

I'm not going to pretend its any god, at best that's a distant third. I flip flop on whether I think its wealth or firearms. With wealth I dont mean work or accomplishments, not at all, for many its all about the wealth itself. Who cares if it comes from someone doing nothing but being born into a wealthy family (the usual way) or even if its accumulated by unethical or even illegal means, once someone has it a lot of Americans seem to respect and are fascinated by them. We ask their opinions on things, we vote them in to rule us, and we seem fascinated to see the things they spend their money on (look a 5th beach house!). No wonder really that poor people often turn to drugs or crime to make a quick buck instead of hard work.

And guns, on days after a mass shooting killing kids - elected officials show up to "work" wearing gun pins on their lapels, what they hell is that? When people take holiday photos with their families including kids holding guns, whats the message other than we love our guns? And we'll continue to love our guns no matter what it costs us. On a national level too - raise the budget to buy/build more arms? USA, USA, USA. Raise the budget to make health care affordable? LOL, nice try commie.

dont mind me, I have been drinking...its 10 am somewhere

I think it has to be wealth because like you said if someone has enough of it, we suddenly care what they think often at the exclusion of what we ourselves think. Like someone has managed to get rich and suddenly they are some sort of demi-god whether they are a decent or horrible person.

And the preponderance of guns of late (last 30 years) is largely because of the NRAs quest to accumulate wealth and funnel wealth to those people wearing the lapel pins after a massacre from nation states unfriendly to the US. And make no mistake, if there was money in wearing diapers on their heads, those whores would do it. They pretend to care about guns because morons who give their money to campaigns care about guns.

I mean if you have someone over your house and show them your gun collection, tools meant for killing, thats cool and normal. But if you have someone over and show them your Fleshlight collection, even the rare Delta Burke model that took me I mean them a long time to find and they finally had to settle on a slightly used one, that's somehow odd.

Now I know who bought my old one.

I agree it all comes back to money and wealth. In turn gives power, like you mentioned the NRA is a perfect example. Use guns as a carrot for people to give them more money.
In reality, it is nothing different from Preachers, they use the bible and "god" as the carrot for more money and power.

That was one crazy Corvette Summer. Her model, from what I heard, was not as hard to come by. So to speak.

Yeah, if I had to choose its more about the money. A lot of the gun worship is fake designed to get some cash.

Is CNN the dumbest network ever and hurting America for airing Trump's Town Hall?

Or...

Is CNN the smartest network ever for setting Trump up to confess his crimes, which might help convict him and send him to prison?

"He's confessing on live TV": Experts say Trump town hall may backfire

“All three ongoing criminal cases got new evidence tonight against Trump,” attorney says.
