In the novel/movie, it's Raymond's step-father who's the "Manchurian Candidate". Raymond is simply a pawn in the plot to elevate him.

Maybe his narcissistic self has its limits of being questioned by the media and photoshopped.

Maybe he just doesn’t feel like doing any actual work to collect his check.

Not only did she recuse herself from her two committee assignments, she 86ed the tie, the sweater and the glasses. Something’s up.

The letters in Kitara Ravache can be rearranged to spell Caviar Ark Hate. :shock:

Also Archive a/k/a Tar, and of course y'all know that tar is a computer file archiving program (it was short for "tape archive"). How do you create an archive with tar?

To create an archive with tar, use the '-c' (“create”) option, and specify the name of the archive file to create with the '-f' option. It's common practice to use a name with a '. tar' extension, such as 'my-backup. tar'.

I'ma do numerology next. :smoking:

My name can be rearranged to spell Millibar Yawn, but it doesn't mean I have a sleepy barometer. :batting:

This gentleman is silly, his election was silly, his existence is silly, so I can be silly in his thread.

Besides, I didn't pick the name Kitara Ravache! :lol:

McCarthy knows the writing is on the wall for Santos. I’m 100% certain the decision to step down from his committees was NOT made by George Santos.

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.

I don't believe McCarthy could strategize his way out of a wet paper sack. Color me skeptical.

Stefanik is asked by

if she regrets supporting George Santos and fundraising for him. She responds with a word salad, though she does confirm that Santos has removed himself from committees.

NEW: George Santos reported meals at a Miami Beach diner. The diner found no record of them.

He reported parking at a Miami Beach lot. The city says the dollar amounts would be impossible.

New York Republicans want George Santos gone. They know just the person to help.
Despite the hue and cry of Democrats, perhaps no one wants Santos out of office more than the Republicans of Nassau County.

By JOE ANUTA
01/30/2023 04:30 AM EST

NEW YORK — When Long Island Republicans organized in 2021 to take back the Nassau County District Attorney’s Office after 16 years of Democratic control, no one expected the first blockbuster case to be against a sitting member of the party.

Yet here we are.

Anne Donnelly officially became the county’s top prosecutor just over a year ago, propelled by a campaign focused on state bail laws and funded almost single-handedly by the county Republican Party. She is a 32-year veteran of the DA’s office who has conducted wide-ranging investigations against gangs and white-collar criminals. And last month, she pledged in strikingly strong terms to train her expertise on newly elected Rep. George Santos (R-N.Y.).

That pronouncement launched her from relative obscurity into national headlines. And going forward, her prosecutorial experience, the desire of fellow Republicans to rid themselves of Santos and the unique powers of the district attorney’s office put her in a prime position to pounce on the fact-challenged lawmaker.

George Santos thanks his mentor Kevin McCarthy for giving him the time to clear his name from all these outrageous accusations against him.
