Pfft. You're just jealous because you don't look as good as her in heels.
No one will ever know what I look like in high heels, including me. I have been extremely drunk and extremely high on drugs in my wayward youth, but it never once occurred to me that dressing in women's clothing would be fun. Or interesting, or anything but weird. I don't have any moral qualms, it just wasn't my thing.

And now that you brought it up, screw this dude Ravache/Santos/Devolder/yo mama. Instead, let's have a contest.

I wear size 13 shoes, extra wide.

Post a photo of the lady whose high heels I have to steal, for them to fit me.

She will probably have to be about 6' 3" and a wrestler or weight-lifter or mob enforcer or some other kind of thugette. They gotta be military-grade high heels or I'll break one of them every five klicks, marching in the desert or wherever (I march on the asphalt on the North Raleigh Greenway).

One rule: She must be a genuine female homo sapiens. No robots, no space aliens, no Bigfoots or Yetis or anything like that. No guys in drag, that's how we got into this mess. I'm not against drag queens, but that would be cheating. :fingerwag: Oh, wait, Kitara is all about the cheating.

Anyway, and she has to have big feet. :mrgreen:

But it's okay if she's bigger than me, because she won't be able to run really fast after I steal her shoes, but I can still run, and I won't put on the high heels until I get away.

So you can see this is a serious plan, with all the details worked out.

The vast majority of voters in a new poll of embattled New York Republican Rep. George Santos' district want the congressman to resign amid the litany of scandals and revelations he misled voters about his biography.

Seventy-eight percent of voters in the state's 3rd Congressional district want Santos' resignation (including 89% of Democrats, 72% of independents/others and 71% of Republicans), compared to just 13% who do not want him to step down, according to the latest Newsday/Siena College poll.

Santos is viewed unfavorably by 83% of the voters in the district, according to the poll, a view again shared by the majority of people across partisan stripes (just 7% view him favorably).

Just in: Santos' old treasurer has resigned. He does not have a treasurer, meaning he can't raise or spend money. He also has to file a campaign finance report ... today. https://docquery.fec.gov/pdf/882/202301 ... 449882.pdf

So what's that in WOMEN'S size.

After counting all his lies and potential crimes of fraud, yeah, I think his district may be jumping up in the crime rate.

Oh, wait just a damn minute. If this guy gave a copy of Hunter Biden's laptop to Matt Gaetz, and Gaetz placed it into the congressional record, why is everyone still waiting to look at it? It should be a matter of public record now.

National Review and the Daily Caller said those mean Democrats refused to do it, citing pesky things like rules and such. But it still means Gaetz has a copy.

Democrats Reject GOP Attempts to Upload Hunter Biden’s Laptop into Congressional Record: Report


Brittany Bernstein
April 18, 2022·3 min read
In this article:

House Judiciary Committee Democratic staff are refusing to upload the contents of Hunter Biden’s recovered laptop in a searchable format into the congressional record, according to a new report.

Representative Matt Gaetz (R., Fla.) first moved to enter the laptop — which the younger Biden allegedly left with a Delaware repair shop — during a March 29 hearing. Though the committee chairman, Representative Jerry Nadler (D., N.Y.), initially planned to object to the request, he allowed the laptop to be entered into the record.

Now, staffers appointed by Nadler are saying they cannot upload the laptop due to technological limitations, the Daily Caller reported. They say Gaetz’s office must print hard copies and PDF-form documents of pages to be uploaded into the record, even though Gaetz’s office offered to provide the equipment needed for the digital transfer, a Republican staffer told the outlet.

“Democrats in the majority used multiple excuses to avoid handling the Hunter Biden laptop in any fashion other than accepting the hard drive via hand delivery,” the Republican staffer told the Daily Caller.

“Democrats and majority staff are actively obstructing the American people from being able to see the laptop in the public record. They have all the resources they need to enter Hunter’s laptop into the record — they’re purposefully delaying the process. It’s their responsibility as majority staff to enter materials into the record granted by unanimous consent like Hunter Biden’s laptop. The American people should be asking, ‘Why aren’t Democrat majority staff doing their jobs?’ and ‘What will happen if they continue to obstruct official business of Congress?’”

While House rules require committee staff to upload record entries, the staffers’ refusal to digitally upload the contents of the laptop has required Gaetz’s office to use its own resources in creating copies.

The Hunter Biden laptop story has seen a resurgence in recent months, after some of the contents of the laptops were initially reported by the New York Post in October 2020, just before the presidential election. At the time the story broke, much of the mainstream media dismissed the story as Russian disinformation.

George Santos’s Treasurer Has Resigned, Leaving a Trail of Questions
Nancy Marks’s resignation puts further pressure on Mr. Santos, whose campaign finances have already attracted attention from law enforcement agencies.

By Grace Ashford and Michael Gold
Jan. 31, 2023

The longtime campaign treasurer and trusted aide of embattled Representative George Santos has resigned, potentially exacerbating the congressman’s already troubled finances.

The treasurer, Nancy Marks, whose resignation was made public on Tuesday in letters filed with the Federal Election Commission, has been with from Mr. Santos since his first run for office, assisting with accounting and fund-raising and joining him in at least one for-profit business endeavor.

Much of what Ms. Marks oversaw is the focus of several complaints filed with the F.E.C.; Mr. Santos, a Republican elected in November to represent New York’s Third Congressional District, is also the subject of separate inquiries by local, state and federal law enforcement agencies.

On Tuesday night, the Santos campaign filed a year-end report bearing the signature of a new treasurer, Andrew Olson. But the filings offered little detail beyond his name, and the campaign has not yet filed paperwork designating Mr. Olson in that role.

Ms. Marks’s letters said that she had resigned on Jan. 25 — the same day that the Santos campaign committee, as well as several affiliated financial committees, filed paperwork stating that Ms. Marks was being replaced as treasurer by Thomas Datwyler.

But Mr. Datwyler, a veteran campaign finance consultant affiliated with a number of Republican committees, said that he had told Mr. Santos’s team that he was not interested in assuming those duties. His lawyer, Derek Ross, sent a letter to the F.E.C. saying that Mr. Datwyler “did not file or authorize” the new campaign paperwork and that he did not authorize the forms “to be signed on his behalf.”

The lawyer also suggested that the F.E.C. “refer this matter to the appropriate law enforcement agency to determine whether a crime has occurred.”
