His suit was dismissed _with prejudice_, so if he tries something like that again it won’t even make it to the filing stage. He’ll have to find something else to bitch about. When his lawyers refuse because of the threatened sanctions, maybe he’ll crawl back under his rock. ---

Except if she did. Which, yeah, I think she does. At first I typo’d the above as “dies”, which would also work. ---

I think Kari is trying to steal the title of Most Outrageous Republican Woman from MTG. Call me crude, but I want to see a girl-on-girl hair-pulling contest (preferably in a big vat of Jell-o) between the two of them. You know, something in keeping with their combined intellectual/maturity level. ---

> [@Horatius](#): > > But … she kind of makes it sound like a good thing? That’s exactly what I was just thinking. I don’t have any context but my first thought was “well, probably not, but okay?”. Since that seems like it would be an attack she’d use on the left (or any ‘them’, for that matter) the only reason I can think of to use it on the right is because she’s working to get the current party ousted so they can be replaced with MAGAs. She’s gunning for the VP spot and if she can help get even a few ‘regular’ conservatives replaced with Trump picks, it’s a good a way as any to show your devotion to him. She’s in the process of proving she’ll do what Pence wouldn’t, like she [wouldn’t even question it](https://64.media.tumblr.com/f316a0fcd17b4efe49ccbd0e1b02d3b3/bc7217ffde40de39-05/s540x810/c8542c8f1513099c7f78e237dd7f305d6b09c4fb.gif). ---

Joe Kent, the Trump-picked House candidate who successfully primaried a moderate Republican with bipartisan support, paid for a recount after he lost the race by a 2,629-vote margin. The recount found a total of four more votes for him and seven for his opponent, so he’s now lost by three votes more than he did in the first place. > **[Counties release recount results in 3rd Congressional District race between...](https://www.kiro7.com/news/local/counties-release-recount-results-3rd-congressional-district-race-between-gluesenkamp-perez-kent/HGBRUR43NNFRRFGTLXEZ3RUEPI/)** > > According to the secretary of state’s office, Gluesenkamp Perez won the November election with 160,314 votes to Kent’s 157,685. ---

See, that would make sense, if her tone was different. Say the exact same thing in a harsher, more violent tone, and there’d be no doubt that she was calling for a purge. But the way she says it? It sound like there’s Secret Gay Dance Parties going on at Republican Caucus meetings, and she just wants in on them. ---

Newly-elected Congressman George Santos, from Long Island, is apparently a serial liar, His parents are Brazilian, and he fled the country to avoid a charge of stealing a checkbook and taking money from the checkbook owner’s account. He was evicted twice from homes in New York for failure to pay rent. He claims to have worked for Citigroup, but they have no record of his employment. He claims to have attended Baruch University, but they have no record of his attendance. He reported a salary of $750,000 from a company that only had $1 million in income. It was dissolved for failing to issue an annual report,. He then went to work for another company that also dissolved for failure to issue an annual report. He claimed to run a dog rescue charity that isn’t recorded as a charity. He raised money for the charity but then kept the money. > **[Who Is Rep.-Elect George Santos? His Résumé May Be Largely Fiction.](https://www.yahoo.com/news/rep-elect-george-santos-resume-130033319.html)** > > Mr. Santos, a Republican from New York, says he’s the “embodiment of the American dream.” But he seems to have misrepresented a number of his career highlights. ---
