Well….George Santos is now accepted as a joke.

Oh remind me….did the house republicans talk about transparency?

Think of the effort to not talk about the back room deals to get the speaker position…..

Meh. I said “who?”

Probably 2 months in a minimum security prison. Poor him.

Max sentence just for the Brian Bosworth look.

Also:
In reference to January 6 and former President Donald Trump, Gionet wrote in a tweet last month: “i can’t believe i’m going to jail for an nft salesman.”

Look, man. You had plenty of opportunities to realize you were shilling for a charlatan.
"...I have been gravely disappointed with the white moderate. I have almost reached the regrettable conclusion that the Negro's great stumbling block in the stride toward freedom is not the White Citizen's Council-er or the Ku Klux Klanner, but the white moderate who is more devoted to "order" than to justice; who prefers a negative peace which is the absence of tension to a positive peace which is the presence of justice; who constantly says "I agree with you in the goal you seek, but I can't agree with your methods of direct action;" who paternalistically feels he can set the timetable for another man's freedom; who lives by the myth of time and who constantly advises the Negro to wait until a "more convenient season." -MLK Jr.

the Socialist caucus last existed 90 years ago. Milwaukee had a socialist mayor Daniel Hoan from 1916 to 1940. His 24-year administration remains the longest continuous Socialist administration in United States history.
