Boebert has always taken things too far in her support of Trump and his tactics. That Boebert supporters are just now realizing that is their issue.

Q: What does today’s riot at Brazil’s Capitol have in common with J620? A: Steve Bannon, Jason Miller, and Donald Trump. Yup, same players, different country. Hopefully Brazil can punish these people faster than the U.S. can.

Q: What does today’s riot at Brazil’s Capitol have in common with J620? A: Steve Bannon, Jason Miller, and Donald Trump. Yup, same players, different country. Hopefully Brazil can punish these people faster than the U.S. can. There's a rumor that the State Department is actively working on finding a way to send Bolsonaro and George Santos back to Brazil for prosecution. Talks apparently stuck on the inclusion of DeSantis, Brazil noting he was not under investigation there, but State is apparently insisting it is a "package deal". 
A well reasoned argument is like a diamond: impervious to corruption and crystal clear - and infinitely rarer.
Here, as elsewhere, people are outraged at what feels like a rigged game -- an economy that won't respond, a democracy that won't listen, and a financial sector that holds all the cards. - Robert Reich

Interesting court case coming up on January 30th: A democratic state senator in Florida has filed a lawsuit against DeSantis et al, regarding many aspects of the scheme to use state funds to import legal asylum seekers from Texas into Florida (for 10 minutes) so he could have them deported to Martha's Vineyard. DeSantis tried to have the lawsuit dismissed, but a judge said no and now it goes to court. There are several crimes* involved, including things that violate the Florida state constitution, so this is not something DeSantis can ignore or use his office to wriggle out of the consequences.
This could have a far reaching effect on the many lawsuits filed about this scheme, as well as suits against Governor Abbott of Texas. Should be interesting, especially if the court finds the Governor personally liable to pay for everything.
*human trafficking, kidnapping through deception, misuse of state funds for personal gain, awarding a contract without bids, corruption in choosing a contractor, among other crimes

Al Bedrosian, a newly minted member of the Roanoke City Electoral Board, said two years ago that he believed former President Donald Trump won the 2020 election by "millions" of votes, even though he actually lost the election by millions of votes. Apparently, the inability to think and reason due to having the IQ of an earthworm is enough to gain a Roanoke City Electoral Board position.

Why is Santos still in Congress? Because Kevin McCarthy and most Republican Congressfolks want him there.

Humanity seems to have become a dark comedy, stumbling its way into self destruction.
You never change things by fighting the existing reality.
To change something, build a new model that makes the old model obsolete.

The SCOTUS failed to find the leaker because one of the justices is the leaker and didn't have to sign an affidavit that he was telling the truth in the leak probe.
