Bannon is trying to market his ideas to push the MAGAs. His goal is the destruction of our American democracy and has been since at least since 2015. His other marketing trial balloon recently was Trump was going to be assassinated. A dead martyred Trump might be better for Bannon or so he believes. |

The “mainstream” GOP seem to be losing the battle. Why didn’t he finish out his term? apnews.com/article/84fc76226de7d20e140325bbe87622c8LOS ANGELES (AP) — Two months after his historic ouster as U.S. House speaker, Republican Rep. Kevin McCarthy said Wednesday that he is resigning and will leave Congress by the end of the year. ~~ “No matter the odds, or personal cost, we did the right thing,” McCarthy wrote in The Wall Street Journal, announcing his decision. “It is in this spirit that I have decided to depart the House at the end of this year to serve America in new ways.” ~~ Rep. Matt Gaetz, R-Fla., who led the effort to remove McCarthy, tweeted a one-word response after his announcement: “McLeavin.” He later chastised McCarthy, whose departure will further narrow the GOP’s fragile hold on power. “I think he should have stuck around and helped us hold a strong majority,” Gaetz told reporters. “But he left.” ~~ It wasn’t immediately clear what would happen with the vacancy, which could have implications for Republican control. Only a handful of seats separates the two parties. In California, Friday is the last day for candidates to file paperwork to enter the 2024 elections. If the vacancy occurs before the end of that period, Democratic Gov. Gavin Newsom would be required to call a special election to fill McCarthy’s seat. If McCarthy steps down after that time, it would be up to the governor to decide whether to call a special election. |

McCarthy is not mainstream. sorry, he just isn't. he is a spineless weasel. Are any of them mainstream? It seems like Chris Christie and Liz Chaney are the only ones putting their balls on display. Everyone else is weaseling around. |

Santos showed up for President Biden's State of the Union address. And a picture of three disgraced members of the House together: Representative Lauren Boebert, former Representative George Santos and Representative Ronny Jackson talk with each other ahead President Joe Biden's State of the Union address in Washington, Mar. 7, 2024.  Expelled GOP Rep. George Santos appears on House floor, announces he's running againDisgraced former Republican Rep. George Santos arrived in the House chamber on Thursday night about an hour before President Joe Biden's speech was to begin about three months after he became the first House member to be expelled in more than 20 years. He was seen seated on the GOP side near the aisle -- his normal position when he was a voting lawmaker. He had told ABC News Senior Congressional Correspondent Rachel Scott he would do so. Scott reported that for several minutes, Santos was seated where he could brush shoulders with Biden if he were to stay there while the president arrived and walked down the aisle. Santos later briefly left the chamber, entering the Republican cloak room. As a former member, Santos retains the privilege of accessing the House floor. He would need to be convicted of one of his criminal charges to be banned from the floor. He has pleaded not guilty. Rest of article here: Expelled GOP Rep. George Santos appears on House floor, announces he's running again |

i look forward to him running again. I'm shocked I tell ya'. Shocked.  George Santos drops independent House bidFormer Rep. George Santos (R-N.Y.) announced Tuesday that he was suspending his independent House bid, just over a month after entering the race. “I have [met] with leaders and with constituents and I have made the decision to hang it up here and stop [pursuing] this race, THIS YEAR!” Santos posted on the social platform X. Santos made a surprise appearance at President Biden’s State of the Union address in early March, where he announced he’d be entering the race. His campaign committee, however, raised nothing in March, Federal Election Commission filings showed. Later that month, Santos said he would be running as an independent against Rep. Nick LaLota (R) in New York’s 1st Congressional District. Santos and LaLota have long butted heads, and while Santos said he remains critical of LaLota’s “abysmal record,” he doesn’t want to split the ticket in the upcoming election and “be responsible for handing the house to Dems.” “Staying in this race all but guarantees a victory for the Dems in the race,” he said.

Ba-bye, scumbag. George Santos to plead guilty to multiple charges in fraud case MondayFormer Rep. George Santos (R-N.Y.) has agreed to plead guilty after being accused of five criminal schemes that sparked his disgraced fall from the House, according to a person with knowledge of the matter, a dramatic shift for the ex-congressman who had insisted he was innocent. The plea deal enables Santos to avoid trial next month on 23 criminal charges that could’ve carried significant prison time, if convicted. The source said Santos will plead guilty to multiple of those counts. U.S. District Judge Joanna Seybert, who oversees the case, will have to accept the deal. Santos did not immediately respond to a request for comment from The Hill. Seybert set an in-person hearing for Monday afternoon after the parties requested one in a brief letter Friday that disclosed no rationale. The judge had also granted requests to push back a few deadlines in the case. Rest of article here: George Santos to plead guilty to multiple charges in fraud case Monday |

Give Santos the max. Former US Rep George Santos pleads guilty to wire fraud and identity theft in his federal caseCENTRAL ISLIP, N.Y. (AP) — George Santos, the former New York congressman who spun lies into a brief political career, pleaded guilty Monday to wire fraud and aggravated identity theft, acknowledging that he allowed his ambitions to cloud his judgment. Santos, 36, is likely to spend at least six years in prison and owes hundreds of thousands of dollars in restitution. His federal fraud case, which led to his expulsion from Congress, was just weeks away from going to trial. “I betrayed the trust of my constituents and supporters. I deeply regret my conduct,” the New York Republican said, his voice trembling as he entered the plea in a Long Island courtroom. Santos, 36, said he accepted responsibility for his crimes and intends to make amends. He faces more than six years in prison under federal sentencing guidelines and owes at least $370,000 in restitution.

The Borowitz Report
George Santos Pleads Guilty and Offers to Return his Olympic MedalsNEW YORK (The Borowitz Report)—After pleading guilty in federal court on Monday, George Santos offered to return all eleven of his Olympic medals. “Although it pains me to do so, only by returning my medals can I remove the cloud from the sport I have loved and dominated for so long: gymnastics,” he said. Promising to “continue cheering on my USA teammates just as they cheered me on in Paris,” Santos made an emotional plea to his “millions of fans around the world.” “When you think of me, please don’t think of George Santos, convicted liar,” he said. “Think of George Santos, GOAT.” George Santos Pleads Guilty and Offers to Return his Olympic Medals
