And now we have this nugget:

Santos "claimed to have turned down an offer to attend Harvard University’s business school."

Hillary Clinton's 2016 campaign was killed by two years of speculation that she may have kept classified information on a server in her home. (She didn't).

But it's starting to look like every white man* who has been near the White House did that—just in paper form.

After the recent freeze, a thick and soupy fog has descended over the land. It's like it's wrapping everything up in a soft duvet and gently whispering, "Shoosh, everything's still resting, go back to sleep for another couple of months".

I ignored those sweet nothings and hiked up a new fell for moody and wintery photos.

The snowstorm is over though. And I heard the snow plows an hour ago.

Yeah so it is not the same for men!

This is that tricky second post, when you’ve already used up all your good ideas on the first one

@DidiQ @brainnotonyet not diminished... Eliminated

@brainnotonyet Republican men are terrified of single women, and want to diminish their power. Barefoot & pregnant in the kitchen, subservient to their husband — that’s the role of women, in their minds.

I say single women unite, run for office, get involved in creating change. It’s time for the power of white male Republicans to be diminished.

The Christian fascists are telling you what the next phase is in rolling back human rights and installing a deeply genocidal fascist regime in America.

What a beautiful way to start the day.

Andrew Tate complains about vermin-infested jail cell: 'Cockroaches, lice and bed bugs are my only friends'.

James Comer, the Chair of House Oversight Committee, said if #GeorgeSantos broke campaign finance law, “he will be removed from Congress.”

Santos has now admitted to breaking campaign finance law with an illicit $500K loan. It’s time for him to be removed.

'Not president anymore': Haberman says Trump insiders stunned they can't get Republicans to 'show up for him'.

Donald Trump is headed to Columbia, South Carolina this week to jump-start his 2024 presidential bid and, with reports that it is off to a rough start. The New York Times Maggie Haberman appeared on CNN to report that his close advisers are taken aback by how bad things are going. https://www.rawstory.com/trump-rallies-2659302083/

@robcinos and 40-something percent of the country love it.

I was always mystified how Nazism took hold and led to such atrocities, but I can see it beginning now.

I'm not in the US but follow US politics intently. As an outsider, it's scary to see.

The Arkansas Senate just passed a bill that classifies drag as an adult-oriented performance and therefore restricted to strip clubs.

This means FULLY-CLOTHED drag performers (and by extension, trans people) cannot, in public places, sing, dance, do karaoke, or perform in any way without being subject to this new law. It is nothing short of the criminalization of trans people existing in public life.

Antidote to that Times story: "Teenagers deserve a measure of privacy and autonomy to work out their identities, gender or otherwise, even if some of their choices and decisions seem like bad ideas to the adults in their lives." https://www.nytimes.com/2023/01/23/opinion/trans-kids-privacy-gender-identity.html?smid=tw-share
