George Santos under investigation for betting on the Kalshi market that "George Santos" would be attending the State of the Union address. He didn't show up so he won his bet.


Kalshi froze the account as suspicious and determined it was Santos betting.



Dude needs to go back to jail where he belongs. His sentence was reduced from 87 months to 3 when Trump commuted it.

The Democrat Party is a cesspool. That they would even consider Platner is a prime example.

Yeah, Trump is not a pillar of virtue. That does not change what the Democrat Party has become. How about an EASY universal rebuke of Platner?

You need spellcheck. But here. DJT is a bad man. Platner is a bad man. I did Trump first as you asked!

Being a bad man is no bar to elected office. Tell me Donny no more should be President than Platner should be in the Senate. You won't, though. your hatred of Democrats and certain of the "wrong" type of immigrant and love of high market returns at the expense of almost everything else draws you to Donny.

Might it not be correct, at least generally speaking, that the republicans cater to the "haves" and the democrats cater to the "have nots?"

Generally correct. Change it to ‘those who try to succeed’ and ‘those who want the government to provide for them’ and you’d be more accurate.

Maybe in the inner cities and on welfare row, but...I am reminded of "the good old days," when JFK was briefly at the helm: a glorious time for the democrats.

I never got the notion that JFK wanted to provide anything to the downtrodden other than a fair chance to make it.

The democrats would be in a good position today to capitalize on the fat oaf's "reign" except they are too dysfunctional (again) to come up with a winning platform and strategy: must suck to be them, not knowing it they're moderate or truly progressive.
