Crowder (who is anti-abortion/women's rights) smokes in front of his pregnant wife, so not shocked he'd also casually put his unborn child at further risk, while shirking dog walking duty.
I assume his new manly chest will help him go cruising in the gay bars once he's divorced. Good on him, I guess.
Santos Allegedly Embezzled Contributions from Supporters, Fraudulently Obtained Unemployment Benefits, and Lied in Disclosures to the House of Representatives
CENTRAL ISLIP, NY – A 13-count indictment was unsealed today in the United States District Court for the Eastern District of New York charging George Anthony Devolder Santos, better known as “George Santos,” a United States Congressman representing the Third District of New York, with seven counts of wire fraud, three counts of money laundering, one count of theft of public funds, and two counts of making materially false statements to the House of Representatives. -snip
Took a bit longer than I cared for, but so happy this is finally happening. Now the deplorable head of the House, Republican Kevin McCarthy has to decide if he wants to keep on protecting George Santos, or call a vote to kick Santos out of Congress.
George Santos is the little darling of the Right who won in a NY district he was not favored to, then it comes out he's a pathological and compulsive liar and a criminal.
So there is hope. A refuge from the satanic forces of evil.

And you were mocked for it by Trumpers here
"Russian authorities will launch construction of a village outside Moscow for conservative-minded Americans" -Snip
Good, hopefully these American "Conservatives" migrate over to Russian in the thousands, if not millions. America should do whatever possible to make their trip and relocation as swiftly as possible.
Republicans successfully sidestepped an effort to force them into a vote to expel George Santos, the New York representative, from Congress, which could have narrowed their already slim four-seat majority. -snip
If the GOP insist on protecting this deplorable, they're going to own every lie and crime he's committed once the hammer drops on him
Other Republicans were afraid to run against DeSantis. Now that he is single-handedly destroying Florida, they see him as wounded, and are trying to take him down. I have lost count of how many Republicans are going to announce in the next week or two.

DeDantis thought taking on Disney would be the springboard he'd use to formally launch his presidential campaign. Disney has thoroughly owned him at every turn. Does he not realize they have all the money, the best lawyers and they bring his state in the most revenue?
All he has now is his weird labeling of everything he doesn't like as being "woke" and screaming at it.
The Republican state legislature has been a rubber stamp for DeSantis and his presidential ambitions. Their recent immigration law has caused agriculture and trucking in the state to implode. Businesses are losing money hand-over-fist, and he is tripling-down on a losing fight with the state's single largest employer. His political instincts are garbage, and his career is tanking. The entire state is circling the drain.
Right Wing Non-Profit Hired Homeless Crisis Actors to Fabricate Story
Over the past week, a sensational story has torn through local and national media: a local nonprofit said homeless veterans under its care had been kicked out of upstate hotels to make room for migrants bused from New York City. But the story has fallen apart over the past 48 hours, culminating Thursday evening with state Assemblyman Brian Maher, who had been advocating for the veterans in national media and in the state Legislature, denouncing it as false.
The story began to unravel Wednesday when the manager of the Newburgh hotel that had purportedly displaced veterans reported it had no dealings with the nonprofit. According to Maher's account, he was taken for a ride by Sharon Toney-Finch, CEO of Yerik Israel Toney Foundation.
Then on Friday, two men currently staying at a homeless shelter in Poughkeepsie reported they were among a group of 15 recruited a few days ago to portray homeless veterans displaced from upstate hotels by incoming migrants. In interviews, the men said two people came to the shelter, saying they had work for 15 men between the ages of 40 and 60. They would be paid $100 for two or three hours of effort, and no heavy lifting would be involved.
The two unhoused men were Douglas Tery, 55, and William, 52, who asked that his last name not be used. Tery and William were among the 15 who agreed to participate in the Wednesday event. They waited two hours for transportation, during which time William, who is on parole, asked the recruiters if the opportunity involved anything illegal. "They said, 'No, it's above-board,'" he said.

Seems George Santos' campaign treasurer was someone named "Andrew Olson", who is not federally registered and has a home address consisting in part of Santos' sister's former apartment and a commercial building...
Santos has since hired a new and known campaign treasurer

NAACP issues travel advisory for Florida, says state "has become hostile to Black Americans"
The NAACP issued a formal travel advisory for Florida on Saturday in response to what the organization described as Gov. Ron DeSantis' "aggressive attempts to erase Black history and to restrict diversity, equity, and inclusion programs in Florida schools." -snip
Remember kids, if you don't talk about gay people and Black history in America, they don't exist. Seems to be DeSantis' tactic.

He's going further and further to the Far-Right with his policies, anti gay, anti women, anti Black, draconian abortion laws, looser gun laws, banning books and speech, while labeling everything he doesn't like as "woke", trying to cater to what he believes appeals to the Republican/Conservatives majority.
