Just shocking that this is the guy that Trump plucked out of White House to then serve him privately. Oh what could the reason have been. “Nauta, both sources said, was accused of violating this prohibition in multiple overlapping and emotionally abusive romantic relationships while he was married and assigned to the White House. The “revenge porn” included supposedly compromising images of women that Nauta had allegedly retained and threatened to make public, according to the sources. All three women told Navy officials about the alleged misconduct, the sources explained, which they said occurred while Nauta was Trump’s White House valet, fetching Diet Cokes for the parched president.” |
That’s so typical of the GOP. |
GOP Gov. Jim Justice doesn't like to pay his bills (who does that remind you of?).
"For years, West Virginia Gov. Jim Justice has been dogged by allegations that his family businesses haven’t paid their debts, including fines for environmental violations at their coal plants. One bank is even seeking to garnish his salary as governor to cover an unpaid personal guarantee of a business loan, court documents show." https://www.propublica.org/article/west-virginia-governor-jim-justice-runs-for-senate-amid-debts#:~:text=Jim%20Justice%20has%20been%20dogged,business%20loan%2C%20court%20documents%20show. I actually first spotted the story on the front page of the WSJ, but it's behind a paywall so I can't copy from it. But here are a few sentences I typed up: *Justice, his family and his companies have piled up hundreds of millions of dollars in liabilities to banks, coal companies and federal and stage regulators, some of which the Justices are now disputing." *The Greenbrier hotel/resort, which the family owns, "has been short on toiletries periodically because it hasn't paid its vendors on time." https://www.wsj.com/us-news/law/jim-justice-debt-west-virginia-senate-3668d28b |
The Republican running to replace George Santos is… wait for it… lying about her past accomplishments.
“Ms. Pilip has also faced questions about how she has described her military service. On official biographies on Instagram and X, she calls herself a “former IDF paratrooper,” invoking one of the Israeli military’s most vaunted combat roles. But, as Ms. Pilip herself has acknowledged, she was an armorer maintaining weapons in the paratrooper’s brigade, not a paratrooper or trained parachutist. She did not face combat. Ms. Pilip’s campaign declined to make her available for an interview. Michael Deery, a Nassau County Republican official, dismissed the distinction as “form over substance,” and argued that the term “paratrooper” was widely used in Israel. But former Israeli military leaders and scholars who study women in the armed forces said that Ms. Pilip’s use was neither common nor accurate. The Hebrew word for paratrooper, they noted, does not have a feminine form. “As a gunsmith, she was not a paratrooper,” said Nachman Shai, a former Israeli military spokesman and Labor Party minister.” https://www.nytimes.com/2024/02/03/nyregion/mazi-pilip-israel-suozzi.html?smid=nytcore-ios-share&referringSource=articleShare |
Is she trying to get people to forget about the fake lectern? This is probably a bad way to do that. |
Jason Howland, founder of a group called the "American Patriot Council" and former Republican candidate for the Michigan state legislature, charged with obstruction among other crimes for breaching the Capitol on January 6. Howland was in the Capitol with Ryan Kelley, who ran for Governor of Michigan and is currently serving a 60-day sentence in federal prison.

Post a link. This is probably the best thread for it. |
Replacement Theory isn’t “corruption,” per se but it is racist and repellent.

After striking out with two sexual assaulters and one drunk driver, the Florida GOP is trying again with another candidate for state party chair. This one, Peter Feaman, spouts Q-level anti-vaccine BS and is lying about how the “failing New York Times” loved his book. |
Mitchell Bosch, a Republican and antivaxxer who ran for New York City Council, was arrested for his participation in the January 6 riot.
