    On one hand, holy shiat.

    On the other hand, where was this story 4 months ago when it would've mattered?

        By his account, [Santos] catapulted himself from a New York City public college to become a “seasoned Wall Street financier and investor” with a family-owned real estate portfolio of 13 properties and an animal rescue charity that saved more than 2,500 dogs and cats. But a New York Times review of public documents and court filings from the United States and Brazil, as well as various attempts to verify claims that Mr. Santos, 34, made on the campaign trail, calls into question key parts of the r?sum? that he sold to voters.

          He lied about literally every detail of his backstory. All of which were seemingly easy enough to disprove.

          I don't understand how this isn't automatic research done by every local reporter on the two or three major candidates. Past employers, IRS records, schooling, etc. if they make a claim that can be verified with a simple phone call, it should be done.

                Access journalism. If you call out a candidate on lies, you are "biased," and you'll never get another interview. Candidates don't need journalists anymore. They communicate directly with their rubes via social media and their propaganda outlets. Without that requirement to play by the rules of journalism, you wind up with the rules of celebrity: suck up or freeze out.

                  Yeah, I wouldn't count on the journalists. But where was the opposition research?

                        It begins.

                        The Jan. 6 panel voted Monday to refer former President Trump to the Department of Justice on at least four criminal charges, including insurrection and obstruction of an official proceeding of Congress.
                        Just a bad day all around for rapists.

                        After a month-long trial and nine days of deliberations, Los Angeles jurors on Monday found Harvey Weinstein guilty of the rape and sexual assault of just one of the four accusers he was charged with abusing.

                        But the three guilty counts involving an Italian actor and model known at the trial as Jane Doe 1 still struck a major blow against the disgraced movie mogul, and provided another #MeToo moment of reckoning, five years after he became a magnet for the movement.

                        Weinstein, 70, who is two years into a 23-year sentence for a rape and sexual assault conviction in New York that is under appeal, could get up to 24 years in prison in California when he’s sentenced.

                        He was found guilty of rape, forced oral copulation and another sexual misconduct count involving the woman who said he appeared uninvited at her hotel room door during a Los Angeles film festival in 2013.

                          George Santos responds to accusations he made stuff up by using a Churchill quote which wasn't actually said by Churchill, which I guess is on brand for him.

                            When the Confederacy was defeated in 1865, Davis was captured, accused of treason, and imprisoned at Fort Monroe in Hampton, Virginia. He was never tried and was released after two years. Davis's legacy is intertwined with his role as President of the Confederacy.
                            https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Jefferson_Davis

                            Ford, however, insisted on a statement of contrition; Nixon felt he had not committed any crimes and should not have to issue such a document. Ford eventually agreed, and on September 8, 1974, he granted Nixon a "full, free, and absolute pardon" that ended any possibility of an indictment.
                            https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Pardon_of_Richard_Nixon

                            Heard Presidential Historian Michael Beschloss this morning pondering whether or not the last two times we went through this if we had actually at least had indicted the perpetrators we may have had a different arc of history at this point. Maybe Trump never happens. We never dealt with the aftermath of the Civil War and we never jailed our criminal President. Trump is Jefferson Davis and Nixon all rolled up into one. And he has a complicit faction who is still holding offices across our country today. There is going to be huge pressure on our Justice Department not to even indict Trump. I believe it needs to happen. I have my doubts it will.
