Triggered: Stories to make you mad.

But they hate drag queens:

According to a new report, Republican Representative George Santos went by the name "Kitara" when he performed in drag during his youth in Brazil.

Santos is said to have used the name Anthony Devolder—an alias he is accused of using to allegedly swindle money from a fundraising campaign for a veteran's sick dog.

According to reporter Marisa Kabas, Santos also used the first name Anthony during his youth in Brazil. Kabas reported the now-34-year-old also dressed in drag and used the name "Kitara Ravanche."

Santos can literally lie about almost all his credentials, lie about his family surviving the Holocaust, lie about his religion, swindle veterans out of money, take money from Russian interest and (likely} commit campaign finance fraud, but Santos better not read a f**king book to children while in drag, that's the line Republicans won't abide.

Lindsey Graham, Mitch McConnell and Kevin McCarthy are definitely going to invite Santos to their private Republican cocaine binge and sex orgies now...

I know, shocking, but Santos’ mother was living in Brazil when 911 happened. So his mother was neither killed in the towers as he initially implied or in harms way as he pivoted to.

Republicans don’t care.

The D.C. Council on Tuesday voted to override Democratic Mayor Muriel Bowser’s veto of an update to the district’s criminal code which will reduce sentences for carjackings, robberies, and gun-related felonies in the nation's capital.

The all-Democratic council voted 12-1 against Bowser, who vetoed what she called "a complete overhaul of our criminal code" that would make the district less safe. The revised code shrank some sentence lengths for gun charges to less than five years. Councilmember Trayon White (D.), who has accused Jews of manipulating the weather, cast the only vote siding with the mayor.

In 2021, D.C. had its highest murder rate in more than 18 years, with 226 killings recorded. There has also been a rash of carjackings over the past five years, affecting city council candidates and pro-athletes alike.

Even the liberal Washington Post editorial board warned that the revised code would make the city "more dangerous" in a Sunday editorial.

In a Jan. 4 letter announcing her veto, Bowser noted that convicted violent felons who go on to commit other crimes with guns face a maximum sentence of just 4 years, as opposed to the previous 15 years. Armed robbers no longer face sentence enhancements for felony gun possession. The mayor also urged the council to raise penalties that had been reduced for carjackers and burglars.

Councilmember Brooke Pinto (D.) opposed Bowser’s decision last week arguing the opposite: that the new code is safer as well as "more just, equitable, and clear." Fellow member Charles Allen (D.) accused the council’s critics of promoting "misinformation" about the code, ABC 7 News reported.

Pinto tried at one point to beef up charges for illegal gun possession through an amendment, but was voted down. "It is not a good message from this council to say we are going to reduce penalties for guns," she said in November before voting to pass the code without the amendment, according to DCist.

The D.C. chapter of Black Lives Matter slammed Bowser for her veto, calling the move "performative distraction."

"She cares about spotlights, murals and opportunities to misdirect and misinform," the group said on Twitter.

The criminal code changes, which the council had unanimously approved in November, will now be sent to Congress for review. If Congress approves the plan in the next 60 days, it will go to President Joe Biden for his signature. The earliest the code could take effect then would be October 2025.

Infinite mayhem and destruction under Democrat rule! How are those liberal policies working out in DC? 😂

Who the heck is on that council against Bowser, Mario and Luigi?

Who makes me mad? Adam, Robtard and Bash! There!

Republican Representative George Santos, who initially denied claims that he performed as a drag queen, later appeared to admit that he once had fun at a festival dressing as a woman.

Recently surfaced videos, however, seem to suggest that Santos dressed as his drag persona over a period of at least three years, casting doubt on his claim that it was a one-off occurrence.

The New York Post shared a video of Santos at Niterói's first pride parade in 2005, speaking in Portuguese to a reporter about all of the gay venues he had performed in.

The journalist in the video, Joâo Fragah, told NBC News that Santos was the person he interviewed.

Rochard told the news agency that Santos was a "poor" drag queen who usually dressed in a simple black dress. The person in the video matches the description that Rochard told Reuters.

A Wikipedia page accessed by Politico showed a user named Anthony Devolder, a name used by Santos, editing an entry to say that he had started out at "age 17 as a gay night club DRAG QUEEN."

Another video published by the Brazilian current affairs show Fantástico on Monday shows Santos wearing a red feathered dress at Niterói Gay Parade in 2007.

Santos, who is gay, has aligned himself with far-right GOP lawmakers whom have accused drag queens of grooming children.

Yet, photos and videos, spanning from 2005 to 2008, indicate that Santos had been dressing in drag at events for several years, despite his denial that he was ever a drag queen.

I mean, for the next two years, absolutely no laws are getting passed anyway, right? Float out any crazy thing you want to. Senate will just say no.
