good lord, literally LESS THAN ONE MINUTE AFTER I CLICKED "PUBLISH": "Rep. George Santos, R-N.Y., has been indicted on 13 counts, including 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."

Unfortunately the mainstream press asks leading questions and then polls Biden as being a loser against Trump and DeSatan! I hope that this misleading polling just makes the Republicans more lax about their campaigning. I cannot imagine that anyone who is mentally healthy would prefer either of these Mobster criminals, over Biden or in the unlikely worst case scenario, Kamala Harris takes over.

Hurrah! Let us hope that the Justice Department starts ticking off the other criminal elements of the Republican Party in the House, Senate and Judiciary! There must be at least a few more in the House. We may not hear more of the MAGAts being called up such as Matt Gaetz(Gätz), MTG, Darin LaHood, Victoria Spartz, James Comer, and those seeking to take the government to task such as leaders Jim Jordan and Chris Stewart, and then there are Thomas Massey, Mike Johnson, Gary Palmer, Paul Gossar, Andy Biggs, Lauren Boebert (Böbert), Anna Paulina Luna, Greg Stube, Byron Donalds, Clay Higgins, Mike Johnson, Eric Burlison, Nicole Malliotakis, Elise Stefanik, Virginia Foxx, Dan Bishop, Chuck Edwards, Kelly Armstrong, Michael Turner, Nancy Mace, Tim Burchett, and Harriett Hageman. See their appointments in this list here. https://www.house.gov/representatives

He can identify a Giraffe for his IQ test, but he cannot identify his ex wife in a photo.

That wasn't an IQ test, it was a dementia test.

I'd say that Trump has an IQ below 100. Maybe below 90.

I actually think he has a decent IQ but his emotional intelligence is a big zero! After all all that money laudrying takes more than soap suds.

I base this on his vocabulary and grammar, his ability to extemporize.

It’s not there. No way he has a 3-digit IQ.

Watched a few .inutes of CNN ',townhall' (a town apparently in the Twlight Zone)... I have no idea what Trump IQ is but it was pretty horrifying to watch him lie his reality into an enthusiastic crowd response. So what does it matter what his IQ is if he convinces so many people?

According to a story I just read on Axios, polling and focus groups from the Republican Accountability Project, Trump's most consistent supporters are women (presumably White) who voted for him twice. I just don't get it. How can any woman support this misogynistic serial rapist???

Stealing the gofundme money for the veteran's dog was a snapping point for me. I wanted to take a golf club to his teeth.

Stealing from a sick dog. Can anyone go any lower?

No, not any lower than that scumbag. He would push someone into a NYC subway train if he got something out of it.

Ditto. Considering how many people have dogs it is kinda weird how they pick the dog haters. Trump for sure. He probably has never been accepted by a dog cause they know a good guy from a completely phoney amoral ahole.

Trump’s MO: “I do not know this woman!” Well, Jean knows you, and your crime of raping her. So did the jury! Pompous assbutt!

Santos can go to jail can't he, even while serving in Congress? No McCarthy will not do zilch. He needs every vote for his very slim control.

Even Ann Coulter says Trump lawyers fucked up when there were no witnesses to confirm that celebrities have the right to sexually assault a woman.

Trump's deposition sounded so tired. Even when he was being insulting it was just a monotonous mumble. I hope his brain is shutting down.

I’ll take the win but let’s but let’s be realistic. Cheeto Jesus’ cult will probably never hear about the verdict and those that do won’t care. They’ll say it’s a witch hunt, the libs are out to get him, poor Cheeto. The Republicans won’t turn their backs on him because they’re afraid of his lunatics - I mean his base - and what’s a little sexual assault among friends? It’s just locker room talk and you know how many women cry rape when it didn’t happen? Even the idjits running against him have said nary a word about the verdict. Except Asa Hutchinson, who is as likely to win as my Shih Tzus. (Who, if only they only had thumbs, could run for Congress. What, you don’t think they could do Grassley’s job??) He’ll raise more than $5 million dollars from his sycophants. So while I’m delighted with the outcome of the trial, I’m not expecting it to change anything.

Backpfeifengesicht of the day: George Santos. He lied about his birth, his Jewishness, his education, his mother, his cancer, his volleyball prowess. I could go on but the list is so long, I’ll get carpal tunnel.

What do George Santos and DonLd Trump have in common?

They are both pathological liars. Con men. Frauds. Thieves. Cheaters. They each have spent their entire lives pretending to be someone they weren’t and swindling people in the process They both possibly could have lived out their entire lives without facing any consequences, if not for their malignant narcissism and delusions of grandeur, which made them think they could hold public office without being subject to scrutiny by the people they were supposed fo be serving. Karma is finally paying these two sociopaths a visit, and I couldn't be happier FUCK THEM BOTH!

Donald Trump said that he “doesn’t remember” E. Jean Carroll. An obvious case of dementia. Right?
