I did not watch the Town Hall but an article came across my newsfeed that tRump mocked E. Jean and got big laugh. That bothers me on a very deep level.
The scary thing is that the Republican Party is literally full of traitors. I don't say that lightly. The roles that Josh Hawley, Ted Cruz and Jim Jordan played on the 6th is despicable. Also Lindsay Grahmm and Justice and Ginny Thomas. There are DOZENS MORE. What has happened to the GOP. Even my mother feels that something was fraudulent about the election. She doesn't need facts. She just feels it in her bones and Fox keeps the flame alive. America is sick and this will not end easily.
This didn't go down at all. 'Santos is a garden-variety con man.' Joyce wrote. I couldn't even open my mouth for that. Well, maybe I opened my mouth in astonishment. George Santos is an extremely sick person. No performer in his 'right mind' would attempt a comparable burlesque. What is almost equally insane is how far Santos, Trump, Meadows, Gaetz, Gosar, Greene, Boebert...and the rest on a very long list have gotten in America. We voted them into office. Santos is not the only sick soul among us.
I am dying to know who put up the bail! Half a million is a lot even for George to manufacture. update: out of thin air. I should have said. A lot for even George to manufacture out of thin air.
What CNN did was unforgivable, giving air time to a traitor. I did not see this and will not watch it. Why listen to more hate and lies. Everyone it is much easier to save democracy through our own hard work than going to war, but we need to look at the numbers and we are making progress. Yesterday, the New York Public Library had the Annual Robert Silver lecture honoring the cofounder of the New York Review of Books. The guest lecturer Sherilyn Infill who has worked for voters rights her whole career. I would urge all to see if they can get this online. One issue that came up was do we need to have another constructional convention. Her answer was this is not the time because you could not predict the results, rather use the whole constitution that we have, specifically the 14th amendment. Democracy will only go down if we don’t engage. Thanks Joyce for your incredible clarity!
Thanks for the detailed explanation of the charges against Santos. If at first you don't succeed.... I believe KARMA has arrived for him! As to TFG, I don't know how to describe my anger in what we are being forced to do again to defend democracy! Shame, shame, shame! But I am stilling willing to do it! Peace..........
Great commentary as usual Joyce. I was viscerally angered by TFGs appearance on CNN tonight. I listened to the lies with clear audience approval. His rudeness and arrogance to the moderator made it seem more like reality TV.
It then struck me that clear eyed, rational, family-minded patriotic Americans viewing would be reminded as I was of the unhinged, idiotic conman that TFG is.
Santos is a low-grade infection but that will not affect our glee in seeing his fall from grace. Thanks for the update. I’ll sleep better tonight knowing the details.
It never ceases to amaze me what depths the Republican party has sunk to. Oh sure, there are a few, but they are keeping silent rather than draw the ire of the thugs in the party. Perhaps trump's CNN town hall will wake up DOJ to understand that he needs to be charged and soon. Every day he stays out there, is a danger to all of us. Come on, Jack Smith!! Come on Fani Willis!! Come on, Alvin Bragg!! One or ALL of you bring him to justice. Carry on.
I believe what has shocked me the most with regard to tfg and Mr. Santos is the lack of guardrails for conduct of politicians in our national government. A US birth certificate appears to be all that's required to run for president. Citizenship is apparently all that's required for Congress. Why are the standards of conduct so low?
Watching that pathetic little putz (his face is longing for an introduction to a Louisville Slugger - repeatedly) crying how he's "only been here four months and I get indicted - the Biden family's been here for years..." I just wanted to plant my Size 11s in the middle of that ginormous posterior he's got. I hope he gets 30 years and does them all.
Another great read Joyce. I awoke singing this morning . All well with the world. Did not watch tfg on CNN. He is too disturbing. We all know his rhetoric and rude retorts. Better to spend my time more constructively. And Santos is as smug as Thomas. Maybe in with the same people. That too is disturbing but as we bumble down this highway of accountability, I am sure surprises are ahead. Democracy deserves our undivided attention and getting Joaquin Jeffries into House Leadership is where I’d like to see us go. E. Jean Carroll’s entire demeanor changed yesterday after the verdict in her case. She looked 20 years younger. A miraculous metamorphosis. Thank you for keeping us updated and dedicated to the Rule of Law 🇺🇸
Thanks, Joyce, for once again explaining what is going on with another deplorable Republican. If there were any 'moderates', if there were any Republicans with any integrity in the House or the Senate, they would be either voicing for his dismissal, at least voicing their disapproval of him, or leaving the party. I vote for leaving the Party, because there isn't a party there is only a cabal of thieves and liars.

CNN, seems the new Fox in the hen house on steroids.
I'm wondering, if the people who bought Santos, can be charged.
Can wire fraud be used extensively to fight the lying in furtherance of grift? Seems like a rich vein

Look at the RNC’s political contributions it says it all! Citizens United must be overturned!
