I seriously doubt other congresspeople were going "Yo George check out all these sick crimes I'm doing." It's much more likely that these are rumors that trickled through Congressional staffers.

https://variety.com/2023/film/news/george-santos-movie-in-development-hbo-films-1235819803/

quote:

A movie about George Santos is in the works at HBO Films, Variety has confirmed.

HBO Films has optioned the rights to Mark Chiusano’s book “The Fabulist: The Lying, Hustling, Grifting, Stealing, and Very American Legend of George Santos,” which was published on Nov. 28. The film comes from Frank Rich, who executive produced the HBO series “Veep” and “Succession.” Mike Makowsky (“Bad Education”) is set to write the screenplay for the George Santos movie, which he will also executive produce with Rich. Chiusano will serve as a consulting producer.

The film is described as a “forensic and darkly comic look” at the unprecedented congressional race in Long Island, NY, that led to Santos being elected to Congress.

Per the official logline, the film tells “the story of a seemingly minor local race that wound up a battle for the soul of Long Island, and unexpectedly carved the path for the world’s most famous (and now disgraced) congressman. The Gatsby-esque journey of a man from nowhere who exploited the system, waged war on truth and swindled one of the wealthiest districts in the country to achieve his American Dream.”

You’d be forgiven. Guayana reads and sounds a lot like Guinea, of which in Africa you have Guinea, Equatorial Guinea, and Guinea-Bissau, none of which should be confused with Papua New Guinea, which is located in Asia.

Minor aside: I had absolutely incredible oysters when I went to Guinea-Bissau.

“I want to remind the Bolivian electorate that if they vote for those who want Bolivia to return to exporting cocaine, that will seriously jeopardize any future aid to Bolivia from the United States,″ Rocha said in a speech that was widely interpreted as a an attempt to sustain U.S. dominance in the region.

The gambit angered Bolivians and gave Morales a last-minute boost. When he was finally elected three years later, the leftist leader expelled Rocha’s successor as chief of the diplomatic mission for inciting “civil war.”

I think Taiwan is safe for at least 2 more years. #1 reasoning being they have another large carrier still under construction and I imagine their plan is to have that available when they launch the existential conflict it's meant for.

#2 they also need to see what the hell the 2024 election brings. Even if Trump gets in, he might soft-ball with Russia but he's a lot more aggressive towards China rhetorically, so they'll need to see what's what before attacking.

Things are getting hot now but Taiwan would be one of the most difficult invasions in history. And China just watched their buddy royally botch what should have been a much easier invasion. They will wait until they are reasonably sure they are ready.

I swear that this tale from elsewhere on the forums is not a shaggy dog yarn.

quote:

In 2005 or 2006, I was working at a bar, while at school. It was one of three bars at that school. Every Thursday late night, the law students would swarm the place. A few of them were really bad drunks. One night there was a student we'd had a problem with before. He was caught either pissing in a sorta private seating area, or groped one of the waitresses rear end. He was confronted and a fight starts. The boyfriend of the waitress punches the guy in the face, and he gets dragged out the front. In the fracas, he grabs a server and gets him in a choke-hold.
We have him out and held down, but he won't release the server, and the police across the street aren't doing anything. So I grab both of his l legs, lift and spread them. I warn him that of he doesn't let go, I'm going to kick him in the nuts. He doesn't let go, and keeps going on about how he's gonna sue us and "do you know who my dad is?!" I warn him a second time to let go of the server. He still doesn't let go. So I gas pedaled him right in the dick. Hard. He doubles over and ask me why. I mean I warned him, it was pretty obvious why. The police finally jump into action and arrest him, drunk in public.
My friends and I would would always bring this story up from time to time, because of the way in which I resolved the situation and how bad of a night that dude had. It wasnt until a couple of months ago that I had finally connected the dots, after seeing a mug shot of Matt Gaetz. I've discussed it with two others involved in the incident and we're certain the guy was Matt Gaetz.
Whenever he's pissing you off, just remember, Matt Gaetz had his dick curb stomped by a bartender, while getting thrown out of a bar.

Covid inquiry also heard how Boris Johnson would rather ‘let the bodies pile high’ than order second lockdown


But wait, there’s more:

Britain’s COVID Inquiry Includes Trove of Extremely NSFW Evidence

quote:

In Tuesday’s evidence, a lawyer for the inquiry showed passages from the 2020 diaries of Sir Patrick Vallance, the British government’s former chief scientific adviser. In one excerpt, Vallance wrote that Johnson was “obsessed with older people accepting their fate and letting the young get on with life and the economy going.”
“[Johnson] says his party ‘thinks the whole thing is pathetic and Covid is just nature’s way of dealing with old people—and I am not entirely sure I disagree with them,’” Vallance quoted Johnson as saying in another entry. In a third, written in December 2020, Vallance wrote: “Chief whip [a senior political official charged with maintaining party discipline] says ‘I think we should let the old people get it and protect others.’ PM says ‘a lot of my backbenchers think that and I must say I agree with them.’”

Later in the proceedings, the inquiry heard evidence from Dominic Cummings—Johnson’s former chief adviser who has relentlessly attacked Johnson and the U.K. government’s handling of the pandemic since he left his role in November 2020.

One WhatsApp message sent from Cummings to Johnson in August of that year said: “At the moment the [Westminster] bubble thinks youve taken your eye off ball, youre happy to have useless fuckpigs in charge, and they think that a vast amount of the chaotic news on the front pages is coming from no10 when in fact it’s coming from the Cabinet who are ferral.”
