Leaving George Santos more time to spend with his next grift.

“This across-the-board cut, known as sequestration, includes the Defense Department, which Republicans have historically been adamant about funding generously.”

Gonna go way out on a limb here and speculate that the party of “Putin can do whatever the hell he wants” may be changing its views on that one.

Now, to be clear, Suozzi is NOT another alias for Santos, right?

I think George is very busy with his lawyers.
As you know, sometimes rekindling older friendships has to wait.

Then Santos will realize that the real treasure was the people he grifted along the way.

It’s going to happen over and over again, between here and Nov 2024, and then again to 2028. The 27% noisy hateful MAGAts are not a majority, no matter their noise.

We’re going to win.

Is it possible that we have to redefine “shy voters” and a “silent majority” as…at the very least…Democratically aligned?

Beat the GQP Trumpvirus Party over the head relentlessly with their treasons. Offense, 24/7/365. It worked here, it can work elsewhere there’s voters capable of being convinced.

Souzzi ran a dirty primary campaign against Hochul for governor, she won, then she gave her endorsement to him when he ran for Santos’ seat.
Compare that to what TFG would have done.

This is an important decisive victory for the DEMs. Let’s keep repeating this!

They literally used their last few seconds that they had to impeach Mayorkas. Do they have a f****** mirror? Do they know how bad this looks? I don’t think they know how bad this looks. This should be shouted from the rooftops: they rejected a bill that gave them everything they wanted, and instead went for a symbolic b******* slanderous maneuver, and manipulated the vote count in every way they could to make it happen.

They are slime. My representative is slime. I don’t know how my neighbors can vote for her. I don’t know how they can be so f****** credulous.

Of course, this is bad for Biden.

Quite literally too. If it included Suozzi’s vote, today’s Mayorkas impeachment vote would have failed (again).

It’s good news for John McCain.

Care to elaborate? What dirty campaign? Politics ain’t beanbag.
