Great roundup! Especially appreciate the clips from the Fox 'debate'. Just more reinforcement that DeSantis is totally out of his league when you take him out of Florida (or even his home). Thanks David!
Every time you say you have seen as much of El Caudillo Del Mar A Lardo's complete assholery as he can bring, he says "Hold my Diet Coke!"
As to the debate, shooting fish in a barrel is fun, but ultimately boring, and an intellectual contest with an unarmed opponent will also ultimately get boring. There's a rule in writing dramatic fiction (a job I have done many times), that the protagonist and the opponent must be evenly matched, which is why dealing with MAGA is so frustrating - it's like being run over by the Energizer Bunny.
Sean Hannity is the best English argument against we Irish ever.
So I'm a little behind in the Santos thing. I thought the reason many Democrats didn't vote to expel last time was that he hadn't been convicted in a court of law yet and they were wary of setting a precedent. What's changed? (Or was he convicted while I wasn't paying attention?)
I get that, but their justification had to do with a conviction, and the report didn't change that at all, which tells me it had nothing to do with a conviction at all.
I came here to say much the same. The concern wasn't a conviction per se, but due process. The Ethics Committee findings and recommendation satisfied that concern.

I have always been curious...you're not by any chance *the* TC Boyle, are you?
This just in---skeezmeister Santos expelled from the House...won't wonders cease!

I'm guessing that you won't be attending any Melania memorials
