Jamie Stiehm in dailyherald: New light on lies clears the air for the new year in Washington, D.C.
George Santos and Sam Bankman-Fried are arrivistes in their 30s. A coincidence? I think not. Yet it's not only that they witnessed Donald Trump's"lie, boast and insult" presidency, with few consequences until this moment in time.
Santos, a New York Republican, was just elected to the House of Representatives while wanted for fraud by the Brazilian police. Campaigning in New York, he brazenly claimed to be Jewish. A refrain:"I messed up."That brings us to Kevin McCarthy, the California Republican. His long quest to become Speaker verged on the petulant. He knows the truth that Trump sent the Jan. 6 mob to storm the Capitol, but cravenly courted him.
As partisan as McCarthy is, the hard right in his caucus rebelled in what looked like a floor mutiny. Stranger than fiction. It took 15 votes for a speaker, McCarthy, to be elected. Now Bankman-Fried is under house arrest at his parents' posh place on the Stanford University campus, much to my African taxi driver's disbelief. The pool looks inviting. Guests are coming to visit.I felt that way when I saw decadent Mar-a-Lago, Trump's base, where he skulks under a kind of house arrest. Pretty nice for a seditious president in legal jeopardy.
