Real piece of work here, seemingly intent on overtaking the #TrumpVirus all-time record for lies - both quantity and frequency.

Daily Beast:

George Santos’ Claim He Was an Early COVID ‘Survivor’ Has Big Holes

In his non-stop verbal spewing of absurd and transparent lie after lie, if anything was actually true, it was clearly unplanned.
One of his claims, on top of being "Jew-ish', with a family of Holocaust survivors, is his own being a survivor of COVID and also a brain tumor, sometime before he invented the cure for both cancer & COVID... (In his deluded 'mind'). He seems to be right about one thing (which he's since retracted), which his history of having some serious brain issues. A chip off the old #TrumpVirus / #GQP
block.

Reminded of this song (tnx Jodi) in reaction to the political murderers in high places.... Great song, dark reality. Apropos.

Murder by Numbers

Once that you've decided on a killing
First you make a stone of your heart
And if you find that your hands are still willing
Then you can turn a murder into art
There really isn't any need for bloodshed
You just do it with a little more finesse
If you can slip a tablet into someone's coffee
Then it avoids an awful lot of mess
It's murder by numbers, one, two, three
It's as easy to learn as your ABC's
It's murder by numbers, one, two, three
It's as easy to learn as your ABC's
Now if you have a taste for this experience
If you're flushed with your very first success
Then you must try a twosome or a threesome
You'll find your conscience bothers you much less
Because murder is like anything you take to
It's a habit-forming need for more and more
You can bump off every member of your family
And anybody else you find a bore
Because it's murder by numbers, one, two, three
It's as easy to learn as your ABC's
Murder by numbers, one, two, three
It's as easy to learn as your ABC's
Now you can join the ranks of the illustrious
In history's great dark hall of fame
All our greatest killers were industrious
At least the ones that we all know by name
But you can reach the top of your profession
If you become the leader of the land
For murder is the sport of the elected
And you don't need to lift a finger of your hand
Because it's murder by numbers, one, two, three
It's as easy to learn as your ABC's
Murder by numbers, one, two, three
It's as easy to learn as your A, B, C, D, E
1, 2, 3, A, B, C
1, 2, 3, A, B, C
1, 2, 3, A, B, C
Because it's murder by numbers, one, two, three
It's as easy to learn as your ABC
Murder by numbers, one, two, three
It's as easy to learn as your A, B, C, D, E

Main link is to the nice clean album version.
A bit more 'loose' as an impromptu jam with Frank Zappa and band... but cool in its own right..

A bonus for #Sting / #Police / #Zappa fans: Murder by numbers, one two three...

Meanwhile in Muskville, and across the #GQP disgrace on display (nee House of Representatives)

News aggregated news highlight, across Twitter, Mastodon, and "Farce News" (with a cartoon)

From VOA national correspondent Steve Herman:

PERSPECTIVE ON THE "Big Vote" in the #GQP / House (now on to round 9, proving the idea of 'insanity' being repeated...)

Eighth round results of roll call vote for House speaker:

Jeffries (D) - 212
McCarthy (R) - 201
Donalds (R) - 17
Hern (R) - 2
Trump - 1
(One member voting present)

And from "Farce News" (just slightly different from the actual Farcical #disinformation of #GQP / #Fox & fiends...

Gaetz & McCarthy - dueling a-holes

MEANWHILE, in #Twitter / #Muskville sandbox land...

#Twitter may lose its #SafeHarbor protection because it's not responding to #takedown notices for repeat #copyright infringers.

Twitter Hit With $228.9m Copyright Infringement / Repeat Infringer Lawsuit

The article doesn't say so, but it seems that Twitter isn't responding to the takedown notices as US law requires ("expeditiously") because of the #Musk layoffs.
This is big. #SocialMedia platforms cannot operate in the US without a safe harbor from copyright lawsuits. It's as if Musk sawed off the wings of his plane to save weight.

Have a lovely day/eve...

Hey, "representatives" (and people who vote for them!) - #MakeAmericaSaneAgain - Stop the #TrumpVirus / #MuskVirus

Had to share this... seeing #randyrainbow is "trending" on (still-huge & populated, people & bots)... So what's caught some bzz?
Not a lot new, just people praising him. Some references to this: Randy Rainbow speaking with MTG:

I had to pause to stop laughing after his into to "the reason it's a bad idea to drink battery acid"...
This clip is 9 mos old, but relevant to now, and being revisited I guess. One of the 3 Muskrateers, w/Boebert & Gaetz.

GURL, YOU'RE A KAREN

Here's an interesting and well-written glimpse at #GQP / #TrumpVirus cult 'thinking' (about exit doors?) vis-a-vis TFG...

Trump's idiotic 'trading cards' are the last straw for Republicans

Not only a case study of 'group-think' among the Trump once-faithful, but an excellent compendium of historical facts, one horrid act after another, serving as an excellent list of reasons to re-think there being a modicum of anything positive ever, in Drumpf-world.
