…and THIS one, it turns out, really can’t be denied:
While the drag-queen denial is hilarious, and points up the entire Repugnican party’s hypocrisy when it comes to which LGBT+ folks are “groomers” and which ones are somehow NOT, the other denial here — the one that really matters — is the one where he pretends he wasn’t “Anthony Devolder”. You know, the guy who scammed a disabled, homeless veteran whose beloved service dog eventually died of an abdominal cancer that could have been treated if the money he raised had actually gone somewhere other than his own pocket. THAT denial is simply despicable. And cruel.
And proof, in case anyone still needed it, that the Repug party — and not the drag community — is rife with conscienceless, grifting sociopaths who have no problem preying on the helpless and the vulnerable.

Posted inUncategorized|Comments Off on George Santos attempting to deny yet ANOTHER identity…
Hooboy! Strap yourselves in for this one, folks, because it’s a ride. David Doel has the dirty deets, and they weren’t done dirt cheap:
And the best part is, it was all exposed by Crowdy’s fellow right-wing crapagandroids. And by his own big, dumb, greedy self. Who blabbed, incidentally, that YouTube had demonetized him for his hateful content! Which puts the lie to the whole notion of him being just a little ol’ independent creator who got big on his own virtues and merits, since he’s been heavily subsidized by “Big Con”, and they in turn made him a multimillionaire. For talking hate and other dumb shit. And that’s how he became so spoiled.
And now, all that illusory success is about to get flushed down the toilet because Crowdy got too greedy even for the greedheads themselves. You love to see it.
A commenter on the video above pointed out that they hadn’t seen Crowdy look this scared since Sam Seder’s face cropped up on a Zoom call, facilitated by Ethan Klein. BTW, here’s Sam himself, along with Emma Vigeland, discussing this before the big reveal on the Daily Wire’s part:
How many lies has George Santos told? And is George Santos even his real name? Farron Cousins has unearthed some old video, and it’s equal parts revealing and, well, NOT:
On the other hand, since George/Anthony/whoever-he-is can’t even seem to keep his own name straight (pun intended), who really knows? And as Farron says, without a long-form birth certificate — from Brazil! — confirming his exact identity, can we ever be sure of anything he says? Even by the lax standards of politicians in general, and the infinitesimal standards of the US far right in particular, he’s egregious.
But there is some hope that his lies will finally catch up with him enough to make his career as an elected official a short one, because it appears that he has also broken campaign finance laws. Ironically, in the arch-capitalist world of US politics, it’s quite legal to lie about your name, your résumé, and your personal life, and quite illegal to lie about how you got your money. Especially if, as looks to be the case, a good chunk of it came from Russian oligarchs. That little detail could render Spurious George’s election null and void.
Just like his whole identity already is.
PS: Oh God, it’s even worse. Not only did he lie about his name, but he USED THAT FAKE NAME TO ROB A DISABLED VETERAN:
There really is no bottom to this man’s barrel, is there?
Some may think he’s doing comedy, but I’d say that with that grandpa bod — er, stellar Alpha Male™ physique, there’s a good chance that he’s at least quite serious about all the artery-clogging trash he eats.
…and it’s even lamer than the original, if such things are possible:
Meanwhile, the COVID-addled presidunce they’re trying to restore to power is mooching around in Florida, not even giving a shit about the ruined democracy he left behind.
Remind you of anyone?
PS: Beau of the Fifth Column is definitely reminded of someone. Several somebodies, in fact.
If you ever wondered whether a wormy apple falls far from a rotten tree (or even just what kind of person spells their daughter’s name Ashli), watch this and wonder no more:
Yup. Looks like Daughter Dearest inherited the entitled Karen gene from her mom. And now, both of them will be remembered as criminals.
Happy New Year, everyone! Hope you’re feeling well and doing all right. Or, in any case, better than what you’re about to see. If you ever feel so down and doubtful about yourself that you don’t know if anyone else’s life could be more pathetic, just press Play on this and you’ll instantly feel better knowing that the answer is a resounding YES:
Pretty sad, eh? That white-elephant roach motel known as Mar-a-Lago played host to the most pitiful party I’ve ever seen. On an occasion when everyone (who paid a fortune to be there) is supposed to be joyous that a fresh new year is upon them, and a rotten old one is finally behind them, Donnie’s out there whining and pouting like a senile toddler, spoiling everyone’s holiday mood.
Granted, he does have a few things to whine about. His debts to the Russian oligarchy are about to be called in big-time, since that war in Ukraine isn’t yielding the spoils it was expected to. They gotta get blood from somewhere, because Europe is doing its damnedest to break its own dependence on their oil and gas, and so their best hope (after Pooty-poot) is a fat, bald, petulant manbaby who thinks his name is literally gold. You know, the one they lent all that money to so there’d be some kind of hard currency to back that fool’s-gold name? Sucks to be you, Russian oligarchs.
But at least those oligarchs have one thing to be thankful for: They’re not the man they hitched their dirty money trucks to. Because that man is under investigation for multiple federal crimes, and those investigations, unlike the war in Ukraine, ARE hitting pay dirt. And while he’s still (momentarily) free to party like it’s 1999, he just can’t resist the urge to whine about it in front of an ostensibly adoring crowd at his personal resort, like a colossal loser. If he’s so innocent, as he claims, why isn’t he confident?
Well, we all know the answer to that one. The only question is, how much longer do we have to listen to him sulking?
Romanian prosecutors said on Thursday they have detained divisive internet personality and former professional kickboxer Andrew Tate on suspicion of human trafficking, rape and forming an organised crime group.
Tate, banned from many social media platforms for misogynistic comments and hate speech, and his brother Tristan will be detained for 24 hours alongside two Romanian suspects, prosecutors from the anti organised-crime unit said in a statement after raiding their properties in Bucharest.
The Tate brothers have been under criminal investigation since April.
They declined to comment but their lawyer confirmed they had been detained.
“The four suspects … appear to have created an organised crime group with the purpose of recruiting, housing and exploiting women by forcing them to create pornographic content meant to be seen on specialised websites for a cost,” prosecutors said.
“They would have gained important sums of money.”
Prosecutors said they had found six women who had been sexually exploited by the suspects.
Tate has said women are partially responsible for being raped and that they belong to men.
That last bit just makes this latest irony all the sweeter, does it not? The man who thinks women “belong to him” has just been not only stripped of his human non-property, he’s also been owned by a girl who’s still in her teens. That’s gonna be the death of his career, even if his time in jail alone doesn’t do it.
Also, it may be a little early for headline of the year, but the Beaverton really wins with this one.
I know it’s been awhile since I’ve had an installment in this series, but this came across my YouTube feed right now, and I just had to share:
The Christmas blizzards have been no joke on either side of the Great Lakes this year. Buffalo, NY, was particularly hard-hit, with as much as two metres of lake-effect snow falling at once a couple of weeks ago, and then a violent two-day blizzard coming on later, which killed over three dozen people. Joey White was caught in that latter storm, alone and terrified, when Sha’Kyra found him. She took him into her house and looked after him until help could arrive and get him to hospital. And in the meantime, she mobilized help on a Facebook live stream, letting the community know that there was a man in need of medical care at her home.
Here she is, along with Joey’s sister Yvonne, on CNN, talking about the rescue after the fact:
Sha’Kyra, please enjoy the rest of your winter holidays. You’re a true hero, and you deserve the best.
Fear doesn't travel well; just as it can warp judgment, its absence can diminish memory's truth. What terrifies one generation is likely to bring only a puzzled smile to the next.
