    George Santos Thinks He’s Become the ‘Mary Magdalene’ of Congress (businessinsider.com)

    Speaking on an X Space about an expected vote to boot him from the Hill, Santos defended himself by portraying other members of congress as criminals.
    “Within the ranks of the United States Congress there’s felons galore,” Santos told media personality Monica Matthews, who hosted the X Space. “There’s people with all sorts of sheisty backgrounds and all of a sudden George Santos is the Mary Magdalene of United States Congress.”
    […]
    Santos also claimed that he used to be the “It Girl” in political circles, but that he was somehow and suddenly no longer valued by his colleagues.
    “I was, as we joke around a lot in my circles were like: ‘Oh my God you were the It Girl. Everybody wanted you.’ Until nobody wanted me,’” he said.
    During the X Space, he continually slammed other members of congress and dared his critics to vote on his expulsion, calling for House Ethics Committee Chairman Michael Guest to “stop being a pussy and call the damn motion.”
    The scandal-ridden Republican was recently the subject of a scathing House Ethics Committee report that detailed a wide range of abuses, violations, and fraudulent conduct by the congressman.
    The report found, among other matters, that Santos had inappropriately used campaign funds for purposes such as Botox, OnlyFans, and Sephora purchases.
    He also faces federal charges for money laundering, identity theft, wire fraud, and was found to have repeatedly lied about his employment, education, and religious background.
    […]
    During the X Space on Friday, Santos sought to channel anger and defiance, saying he welcomed the idea of being expelled.
    “I don’t care. You want to expel me? I’ll wear it like a badge of honor,” he said.

    The official lyric video for Ray Charles’ “Hit The Road Jack” from the TRUE GENIUS boxset “Hit The Road Jack” was released in August 1961 and hit number one for two weeks on the Billboard Hot 100. It won a Grammy award for Best R&B recording, was number one on the R&B Sides chart for five weeks, and was Ray’s sixth number one on that chart. The song is ranked on Rolling Stone magazine’s list of “The 500 Greatest Songs of All Time”.

  2. Santos poker – Guest calls and DOJ raises. Sounds like Santos’ tell shows he will fold. 

    Ivy, thanks for the Eli Gold clip. Touch-DOWN-A-la-BAMA!!! Love that call every time I hear it.

  3. but not hitting the road to dubai

    Biden to skip world leaders’ summit at COP28 climate talks in Dubai (msn.com)

    President Biden will not attend a world leaders’ summit Friday and Saturday at the outset of the U.N. Climate Change Conference in Dubai, according to the official White House schedule released Sunday.
    It was not immediately clear Sunday why the president had decided to skip the gathering this year. Biden has attended the past two annual U.N. climate conferences, and the U.S. climate envoy and other top officials are scheduled to attend this one in the United Arab Emirates.

    Santos in with the Cawthrne Defense.   
    i. e.  Bye, Felicia.

  5. “Mary Magdalene??”

    sturge, george’s self-metaphor says it out loud: I’m a whore among whores.

  6. The question I have (besides wtf does he mean by comparing himself  to Mary M) is ah, screw it…..Republican swine.  

    No question.

  7. Internet:
    Mary Magdalene in which the most consequential note—that she was a repentant prostitute—is almost certainly untrue. On that false note hangs the dual use to which her legend has been put ever since: discrediting sexuality in general and disempowering women in particular.
    ****************************
    It could be that Santos THINKS she was a prostotute ( thanks to Pope Greg the great) but why would he call himself a prostitute? (He always lies.)

  8. “I don’t care. You want to expel me? I’ll wear it like a badge of honor,” he said.

    hahaha where’s he gonna wear it?

  9. I’ve worn a lot of badges of honor in my life and times
    I’ve told a lot of lies and spent a lot of other peoples’ dimes
    But now I’ve blown up all the guages
    And now like monkeys in their cages
    Now I’m alone and I’m slinging this crap at you.

  10. You’re welcome, Pogo. Eli was “on the road” for the Iron Bowl which he doesn’t do anymore since he got sick. So good to have him back.
    Roll Tide.

  11. I suspected as much and I believe it’s working with his followers.
     

    Said Trump: “Whenever I sarcastically insert the name Obama for Biden as an indication that others may actually be having a very big influence in running our Country, Ron DeSanctimonious and his failing campaign apparatus, together with the Democrat’s Radical Left ‘Disinformation Machine,’ go wild saying that ‘Trump doesn’t know the name of our President, (CROOKED!) Joe Biden. He must be cognitively impaired.’”

  12. Did you hear Santos make a lightly-veiled threat to other members of Congress?  He says he knows who is taking money and sleeping with lobbyists. Spill the tea, George.  You still gotta go, but leave us with more stories whether real or tall tales.

  13. The world is simmering, far right groups are working hard to make it flame out.  Little we can do alone, much can be accomplished when working together.
     
    Tonight is my first ever attempt to make a scalloped oyster cassorel.  Oh so much anticipation.  What can go wrong with oysters, Saltines and butter?

  14. JarJar is buds with Univision’s CEO, and they are promoting the fascist piggy, which will probably result in the deportation of some viewers if he wins and implements Project 25.

  15. Mary Magdalen? The cute mildly Asian looking chick who also helped Clapton with his 461 OB comeback album?  Or was that Yvonne Elliman? Great pipes, that one. 
    BB, report on the oysters if you don’t mind.
