pickOh Lordy that George Santos. What a mess! Chiusano, an NYC area reporter, traces the myriad of lies and schemes from Brazil to New York and speaks to his friends and victims. He also delineates the perfect storm that allowed his election to Congress. An interesting read!!
AmyG This guy is a serial liar. And that nobody vetted him????? 🤷🏼♀️ 1mo

Megabooks @AmyG no, neither opposition nor his own party! 🤦🏻♀️🤦🏻♀️🤦🏻♀️ 1mo
vlwelser He's fascinating. I have a thing for ridiculous politicians. But only when they belong to someone else. Like Long Island. 1mo
Megabooks @vlwelser right?! I hate them when they‘re in my own backyard. I mean s*** I‘m already stuck with McConnell and Paul. 🤦🏻♀️🤦🏻♀️🤦🏻♀️ 1mo
CatLass007 @Megabooks @vlwelser I‘m listening to Make Trouble by Cecile Richards. One factoid I heard today was that Americans could only knew the names of three governors: Ann Richards, Mario Cuomo, and their own. I live in Tennessee which starts as blue in the west (Memphis), shades to purple moving east toward the middle (Nashville), and shades to a most depressing shade of red in the east, where I live. I can‘t remember the name of the governor (cont)⬇️ 1mo
CatLass007 most of the time. I think I just have a mental block about all the Republicans in office in almost every state. Meg, I do not envy you the politicians you are saddled with. Even worse, I shudder to think who my neighbors are because, for the most part, they are Trumpers. 1mo
Aimeesue Oy. You can apparently get away with a lot of nobody checks your $h!t out. #makeintegrityathingagain 1mo
Megabooks @CatLass007 yes! I used to live in East Tennessee and totally agree with your assessment. I try to block out how many of my neighbors still believe 45 is a good leader, including people in my own family. Fortunately, we have a great governor in Kentucky now, Andy Beshear, but our congressional delegation leaves a lot to be desired. 1mo
Megabooks @Aimeesue some integrity would be WONDERFUL at the moment!! 1mo
Aimeesue @Megabooks I feel like your Gov, Beshear, has that. I watched him quite often during the pandemic (despite not having lived in Kentucky for decades) and I was very impressed. 1mo
CatLass007 Where did you live in East Tennessee? I‘m in Johnson City. It‘s not rural but rural is not far away. Remember the Tennessee Three? Two young Black men were ejected from office by the Republican majority and a white woman was not ejected. It‘s all about free speech! And racial prejudice. The two young men were appointed by their local government as interim legislators and then were re-elected in a special election. Such a waste of (cont)⬇️ (edited) 1mo
CatLass007 time and money! Now the House State Government Committee has voted to bring legislation to the floor that prevents expelled members from returning to the legislature. The committee‘s own lawyer advised that it is in violation of the Tennessee Constitution. Could their hatred of those who are different in any way - party, race, gender, gender identity, sexual orientation - whatever floats their boat, BE anymore blatant?! 1mo
Megabooks @CatLass007 that expulsion was shameful. Just downright wrong. I watched it on the national news live. I used to live in Knoxville for about 5 years. I have a friend who grew up in Johnson City, but I‘ve never been there. 1mo
CatLass007 You haven‘t missed anything by not ever visiting Johnson City. 1mo
