Ted’s beard is named “Heidi.”

That has been the common joke upthread. I thought of adding it when I first wrote it, but I don’t really think Teddy boy is gay? He has so many other things he is hypocritical about…I guess it wouldn’t be a surprise to add that to the pile.

Gee, knowing about Santos and the shooter from New Mexico, both failed GOP candidates for elective office, makes we wonder why the GOP recruits and supports these felons. What other felons has the GOP inflicted upon us?

Is this Santos thing turning into a MLM?

It is interesting that as part of this story we are seeing the first hint of a connection to Russian oligarchs. We know that evidently Santos saw a sudden explosion in his bank balance at some point, though we don’t know exactly how much or where it came from. Congressional campaigns aren’t cheap(!), especially in a pricey place like NY.

This story feels as if it will blow up into a major scandal at some point. And, the real beauty of the thing is that the GOP and McCarthy personally, are completely and very visibly stuck with the guy.

Lying Sack of Santos joins a long list of people whose every day walking free of prison erodes my faith in democracy a little more. I don’t have enough lunch break to write out the list.
