The absolute saddest part about the entire Santos saga is that everyone is pointing fingers at the media, democrats, independents, voter rights groups, oversight committees... etc etc.
But no one is blaming the GOP. Because we all know that this is just how they are. This guy, George Santos, he's just every other GOP loser, and we feel bad because we didn't even cull this particularly stupid example out of the herd.

The guy should step down out of embarrassment.
The problem is, every time someone lies and their constituents, supporters, and party don't call them out on it it lowers the bar for the next guy. Don't get me wrong, he definitely lowered the bar a lot here.

Seriously, in what world do you think a republican suffers from embarrassment or shame?
Not this one.
Stop expecting it.

I mentioned this in another thread, but I recall a home in Oyster Bay (in his district) owned by Russian oligarchs getting repossessed a couple years ago due to shady political dealings. The FBI evicted them pretty promptly and it gave them time to search everything that was leftover (it was a mansion being used as a sort of faux-consulate).
Not saying this was connected to Santos, but shows there’s a history in of it in that district.

Last chapter ain’t written yet, we have a week to see if he becomes a pariah, but not before the McCarthy vote. Those of us paying attention always knew politics was transactional, this will be the definition of transactional politics, especially if they abandon him after the vote. We live in a bad sitcom that would have been cancelled and these people are making decisions for all of us. I hate this shit.

This newspaper would like to endorse a Republican for US Congress in NY3 (Oyster Bay, N Hempstead, NE Queens). But the GOP nominee - George Santos - is so bizarre, unprincipled and sketchy that we cannot. We endorse Democrat Robert Zimmerman.

For what it’s worth in regard to paywalls on news sites, a hand full of them WP included load the paywall block after the whole document gets loaded. If you click the stop(X) button once the page loads but before the paywall it won’t continue to load the paywall and block the content. If you miss it just refresh, it doesn’t work on all pages but more often than not it does.

The GOP strategy is silence when it comes to corruption within the party. For the most part it works. Katie Hill and Duncan Hunter scandals came out around the same time. Katie Hill left congress immediately from party pressure. Duncan Hunter stayed in office almost his entire two year term until he was hauled off in cuffs. Throughout that time he was voting on legislation and passing bills.

I just don't understand why we don't require people running for public office to fill out a detailed job application. Education, work experience, military experience etc. answer a few questions about the office and why you are running. Have an independent organization tasked with vetting all the details, and release the application and subsequent report to a publicly accessible database.
You can then campaign all you want but everyone can refer back to the application, see what you put, and read a thoroughly vetted document that tells me if you are lying about your experience.

Feels like the mainstream press completely slept on this. Spending 5 mins on Google and Facebook I found that he went by a few names, had a history of dubious GoFundMe campaigns, was unemployed and his mom died in 2016 and they needed to raise money to pay for her funeral. Based on the numerous spelling errors in his post, one could assume he had not had the elite, top tier education he boasted of.

Lazy. They did not think they needed to do the work. I also bet there was probably some petty bitching going on within the ranks. Democrats suck at assuming folks will stay loyal due to being a certain class/type, they sometimes have the most obnoxious people running campaigns/the party in general and they suck at "circling the wagon" when shit hits the fan when the going gets tough...all of those things the Republicans are masters at (unfortunately).

Please don't do the "all phobes are secret members of the community" thing. It's dumb and queerphobic, and was only true in some cases before about 2012. When it happened back then, it was because of old-timey misconceptions about gayness, when they thought it was a fetish and not an immutable personality trait.
DeSantis' breed just have weird ideas about hierarchy and moral purity that makes them think we're evil incarnate.

did you know that not all drag queens are gay? some are just guys who enjoy the second life of being a beautifully buxom woman every now and again. Thats what makes them a drag queen, and not transgendered. only a small part of the drag community is actually gay and or trans.

What is your source for “only a small part of the drag community is actually gay and or trans”? It’s mostly gay men and trans people. Some performers are straight cis men, such as Maddy Morphosis, but they’re certainly in the minority of drag performers.

How many families are accidentally finding themselves at drag shows with content they weren’t expecting to see?
From the sound of things, you’d think they’re popping up in every city across the nation. I live in a huge progressive urban city and I’ve never accidentally wound up at a drag show.
Maybe republicans are just vilifying outgroups like they always do.

I picked a random bar in a casino in Vegas to wait for my friend’s flight to come in and they went around to everybody at a certain point and warned everybody a drag show was going to start soon. I was like “ah that’ll be fun cool” and the people at the table next to me paid for their drinks and left immediately. It was kinda weird.

Their actual goal is to ban trans and gay people from public life. they are trying to conflate crossdressing with sexualization of children, so they can go and use anti crossdressing laws to harass trans people in public. It's a twisted logic, but it's very clear what their end game with all this is

I suppose they'll include in their investigation bars and strip clubs and other venues that also might have admitted children, but minus the drag queens, right?
Have they finished going after 8 year old who want to use the bathroom of their choice?
And can teachers in FL teach current events like this without saying "gay" or explaining what "drag" means? maybe the kids didn't know, and wandered in because they thought it was a show about race cars, since they cannot be educated in that state about sexuality or gender.

You're right. These yahoos hide behind a flimsy veil of Christianity while failing to live by any of the principles found in the New Testament. And it's not just DeSantis - it's all of the other politicians doing the same thing - and just as important, all of the phony Christians voting for him/them. It reminds me of a verse in Barry McGuire's Eve of Destruction (1965):
And think of all the hate there is in Red China
Then take a look around to Selma, Alabama
Ah, you may leave here for four days in space
But when you return, it's the same old place
The poundin' of the drums, the pride and disgrace
You can bury your dead, but don't leave a trace
Hate your next door neighbor but don't forget to say grace

These aren’t fake Christians. These are real Christians. When religious people can admit that Christianity is incredibly harmful to marginalized groups because it was created to uphold oppressive systems is when there will actually be progress. Sticking your head in the sand and saying “they aren’t with us!” Or just being silent is siding with those who want to uphold oppressive systems.

Can someone please explain to me how an event advertised as 18+, where minors could only attend with explicit parental consent, where the venue sent out an email to ticketholders telling them exactly what the performance entails as a further confirmation that attendees are informed about what they're going to see ahead of time, is falling afoul of some sort of law?

False reports.
We have drag shows every week where I live, if they don't know you then you get carded and if you're not 18 you're out, period. No exceptions. The idea that people are smuggling their kids into alcohol-serving establishments just to show them drag queens' private parts is a fevered conservative fantasy that they claim is happening all of the time without any actual evidence or proof (as is their custom).

Assuming all of that is also true of the drag show here, are there any actual criminal charges that would stick? DeSantis doesn’t want to go to his base after however much time he’s spent demonizing the LGBT agenda and say there are no grounds to arrest anyone, but he just had people arrested for the crime of voting without knowing they weren’t eligible and all their charges are being dropped. If the people working at the drag show were as strict about age limits as you described, what happens?

I'll say this again. Not once in my life has a gay person, or a drag queen knocked on my door in the middle of the weekend to preach at me.
I've been at my current place about 2 and half years and I've had 3 people knock on my door asking me if I wanna join a church.
I lived in Hialeah Florida. One of the most conservative places in the country. And you'd see church people dressed in suits, ties and Sunday best going around the neighborhood in packs going around every house in foot. They'd knock on doors for whole damn blocks.
And the thing is, it's not just the weekends you'd see these mofos roaming around at 11 am on a Thursday. And all ages too kids, teens, middle age and older people. Like i don't know if these people even had jobs

Agreed. If a man in a dress reading Green Eggs and Ham to kids gets these people all ruffled I imagine they'd be pretty upset about the literal grooming/rape going on in the churches...
If they really were worried about kids they'd be more worried about the people singing Amazing Grace than the people singing Cher.

">\n\nThe Dem/Republican split in Florida is 48/52 with a healthy amount of NPA.\nFlorida being blood red is a DeSantis propaganda taking point.",
">\n\nRon took 59.4% of the vote, up from 49.6% 4 years ago…\nFlorida USED to be 48/52.",
">\n\nBy redistricting! We are deep red now because of Gerrymandering.",
">\n\nYeah but that doesn’t explain a 10% increase in Ron’s vote in a race where districts are irrelevant",
">\n\nI think a former Republican being his opponent didn’t help turn out on the Dem side. But who knows, Covid changed a lot of stuff in that state.",
">\n\nThis investigation is just an excuse for them to legally ban all drag shows. Florida is a dystopian nightmare where conservatives’ culture war is more important than personal freedoms",
">\n\nTheir actual goal is to ban trans and gay people from public life. they are trying to conflate crossdressing with sexualization of children, so they can go and use anti crossdressing laws to harass trans people in public. It's a twisted logic, but it's very clear what their end game with all this is",
">\n\nI suppose they'll include in their investigation bars and strip clubs and other venues that also might have admitted children, but minus the drag queens, right?\nHave they finished going after 8 year old who want to use the bathroom of their choice?\nAnd can teachers in FL teach current events like this without saying \"gay\" or explaining what \"drag\" means? maybe the kids didn't know, and wandered in because they thought it was a show about race cars, since they cannot be educated in that state about sexuality or gender.",
">\n\nIf they want to actually protect children they need to start investigating church’s and Christian schools.",
">\n\nSmall government. Christian fascism.\nFuck Ron.",
">\n\nYou're right. These yahoos hide behind a flimsy veil of Christianity while failing to live by any of the principles found in the New Testament. And it's not just DeSantis - it's all of the other politicians doing the same thing - and just as important, all of the phony Christians voting for him/them. It reminds me of a verse in Barry McGuire's Eve of Destruction (1965):\nAnd think of all the hate there is in Red China\nThen take a look around to Selma, Alabama\nAh, you may leave here for four days in space\nBut when you return, it's the same old place\nThe poundin' of the drums, the pride and disgrace\nYou can bury your dead, but don't leave a trace\nHate your next door neighbor but don't forget to say grace",
">\n\nThese aren’t fake Christians. These are real Christians. When religious people can admit that Christianity is incredibly harmful to marginalized groups because it was created to uphold oppressive systems is when there will actually be progress. Sticking your head in the sand and saying “they aren’t with us!” Or just being silent is siding with those who want to uphold oppressive systems.",
">\n\nGOP obsession with Drag Shows is insane. These people are out of their minds. This is not normal.",
">\n\nAlmost as if Republicans can't win on policy so they need to whip up culture wars and identity politics to get the fringes.",
">\n\nThis is exactly what they’re doing. Look at the GOP in the house. Absolutely nothing has been said or done to solve the “problems” the Dems have done. Their wins this past election are from this nonsense. Completely useless.",
">\n\nAnd the sad thing is the anti trans stuff hasn't worked at all - it's only caused their party to be a shell of itself, clinging to the MAGA caucus in the House.",
">\n\nWorked for DeSantis. Look at his re-election numbers",
">\n\nGreat use of money /s",
">\n\nWell they already arrested people who voted legally. Time to do more culture war noise",
">\n\nah, the pressing matters. ....",
">\n\nGlitter is a big issue! Stuff gets everywhere!",
">\n\nCraft herpes",
">\n\nCan someone please explain to me how an event advertised as 18+, where minors could only attend with explicit parental consent, where the venue sent out an email to ticketholders telling them exactly what the performance entails as a further confirmation that attendees are informed about what they're going to see ahead of time, is falling afoul of some sort of law?",
">\n\nFalse reports.\nWe have drag shows every week where I live, if they don't know you then you get carded and if you're not 18 you're out, period. No exceptions. The idea that people are smuggling their kids into alcohol-serving establishments just to show them drag queens' private parts is a fevered conservative fantasy that they claim is happening all of the time without any actual evidence or proof (as is their custom).",
">\n\nAssuming all of that is also true of the drag show here, are there any actual criminal charges that would stick? DeSantis doesn’t want to go to his base after however much time he’s spent demonizing the LGBT agenda and say there are no grounds to arrest anyone, but he just had people arrested for the crime of voting without knowing they weren’t eligible and all their charges are being dropped. If the people working at the drag show were as strict about age limits as you described, what happens?",
">\n\nI'll say this again. Not once in my life has a gay person, or a drag queen knocked on my door in the middle of the weekend to preach at me.\nI've been at my current place about 2 and half years and I've had 3 people knock on my door asking me if I wanna join a church.\nI lived in Hialeah Florida. One of the most conservative places in the country. And you'd see church people dressed in suits, ties and Sunday best going around the neighborhood in packs going around every house in foot. They'd knock on doors for whole damn blocks.\nAnd the thing is, it's not just the weekends you'd see these mofos roaming around at 11 am on a Thursday. And all ages too kids, teens, middle age and older people. Like i don't know if these people even had jobs",
">\n\ndoor to door preaching is their job.",
">\n\nBut who pays them? The pastor?",
">\n\nSome churches take tithe money and use it to fund their missionaries.",
">\n\nFascists believe that their opponents will never inflict upon them one one-hundredth of the violence that they regularly inflict upon the marginalized.\nThat needs to change.",
">\n\nAgreed. If a man in a dress reading Green Eggs and Ham to kids gets these people all ruffled I imagine they'd be pretty upset about the literal grooming/rape going on in the churches...\nIf they really were worried about kids they'd be more worried about the people singing Amazing Grace than the people singing Cher.",
">\n\nThis from the free speech / don’t tread on me crowd.. too bad irony is dead.",
">\n\nFree speech as long as you worship Jesus the right way. F everyone else according to them.",
">\n\nWhen will conservatives end their war on Christmas?",
">\n\nThis will definitely improve the situation in Florida with home owners insurance crisis."
