1. Who would have thought using their real name on a site like that was a good idea?
2. $435,621... George, you know porn is available for free on the internet, right?

In fairness, I don't think George Santos is his real name.

My initial thought is that George and the girl must know each other and this is just some sort of elaborate scam to embezzle money because $400K is a crazy amount of money to spend on one girl regardless how good her content is.

Or it's just a fake. Proof of a sitting congressman spending almost half a million dollars on a single porn star would be pretty big news you'd think, but aside from that tweet there's no references at all to it. Probably just some random stripper hoping to boost their profile with an attention grabbing graphic

With all the other crap he has lied about to this point, it's probably something like Steve. Nothing surprises me about this guy any more.

'Enormously dangerous': Ex-RNC chair offers solution to end Trump’s 'attacks on the judges'

Steele replied, "It's enormously dangerous. I am shocked that we have allowed this to get this far. I'm just going to use my best analysis that I can give you at this point on this situation with Trump, and the attacks on the judges. Put his a** in jail. That's how you end it. That's how it stops. Now, yeah, people will be mad, they will be upset. But there is no other person on this planet, certainly not in this country, who would be given the kind of grace that Donald Trump has been given to run his mouth the way he has — attacking clerks, attacking judges, attacking the prosecutors personally; threatening them."

He continued, "We've shown the evidence when he does that how his base responds. And so the system is getting pulverized from within by Trump, and is being pressed to the umpteenth corner it can go in trying to appease him, and allow him to be free while he is still behaving this way. So, if he wants to continue in this vein, then use the system the way the system would be used against all of us on the show right now. Because you know damn well, if any one of us said half of what Donald Trump said, we would not be on air tonight. We would be in a jail cell. We would be shut down."

While I’d love to see his orange arse sitting in jail I wonder how it’d affect current and future criminal proceedings. It might help his cause; I don’t know.

If Trump actually got back in power, America will get exactly what it deserves.

Probably is when your neighbours house burns down things get a little tense for you.

Yup. But I'm extremely worried about what that means for Canada. Of course the rest of the world will be f***ed as well, but unfortunately we're gonna get the worst of it. MAGA style politics and authoritarianism has already leaked across the border in places like Alberta and Saskatchewan, and that's scary enough. It would only get worse with another Trump presidency.

Yep, I'm worried too. It'll just further embolden the fringe right (which is already a problem), and wouldn't be a good situation for us in the slightest.

Because it’s going so well with Joe…lol

[MoneyGuy]

He’s a poor speaker and is old, I’ll give you that. Biden has been one of the most effective presidents in the last few decades measured by the economy, employments levels, etc. Right-wing nut jobs like you can’t get over the fact that he’s a Democrat and many of his policies are opposite of yours. I’ll take the clean old guy over the old guy with a criminal history.

Biden has been ten times the president Trump ever was. Was a breath of fresh air to get some semblance of respect, strategic vision, and intelligence back in the Oval Office.

Is the world burning? Then it's going better with Joe. If Trump gets another term life as we know it is over.

I like going to bed not having to worry that a president will fling a nuclear bomb at some country and set off a major conflict.

I like that there is a president who loves his country over his net worth and is respectful of everyone.

It isnt whether Biden is good or bad, throughout history we have had good and bad POTUS's, it's that at the end of his term Biden will step down and leave the US a democracy, Trump has no intention of stepping down, doesn't give a #### about democracy, will gladly turn the US into a rigid Christian theocracy in order to be able to hand over his 'emergency unlimited Presidency' to one of his ######ed sons, there will be some kind of horrific event, Seattle or New York gets nuked "by Iran" and 'well hey we cant have no elections now' and that's it for democracy in the US, it will be the Handmaids Tale only with an IQ of 90

You’re being generous.
