George Santos (R-NY) and his imaginative (but dishonest) résumé

[Ben-Prime]

I suspect he won't leave the building without tons of drama.

Is it wrong that I wanted him to fly off cackling about releasing the flying monkeys? Because I kind of think it might have been a little wrong.

Apparently, Georgie Porgie not only made unauthorized charges in excess of legal campaign contribution limits to the credit card of one of the Republican Reps, he did the same to the mother of that Rep. Crossed a line there, Kitara.

[northland10]

Does make you wonder what he did to piss them off enough to dump him, or what he wasn't doing that they wanted him to.

Be a value add.

People attach themselves to the former president because they are chasing dollars and status; Santos couldn't deliver that in sufficient quantities to be worth the hassle.

Too also: The control of the House is very much in play next year; Santos was an obvious drag on the congressional brand.

And as Kevin mentioned, scamming dollars from fellow GOP reps and their spouses does not help in adding value.

Former Rep. George Santos (R-N.Y.) in late night posts on social media pledged to file ethics complaints against several of his House colleagues after he was expelled from office Friday.

His threats were levied against Reps. Nicole Malliotakis (R-N.Y.), Mike Lawler (R-N.Y.), Nick LaLota (R-N.Y.) and Rob Menendez (D-N.J.) over campaign finance violations and other ethics claims. The embattled former lawmaker said he will file official complaints on Monday.

New York Republicans led the GOP push to oust Santos, who was himself accused of campaign finance violations, lying to donors and fraud. He faces 23 criminal charges for his alleged conduct, including wire fraud, identity theft and theft of public funds, but has not been tried.

Santos said the complaint against Malliotakis will focus on “her questionable stock trading since joining the Ways and Means committee this Congress.”

Maybe he should get busy preparing for his own trial.

MAJOR BREAKING: George Santos goes NUCLEAR and says he will release evidence of wrongdoing by a list of REPUBLICAN members of Congress who may have broken the law.

Here are his full accusations.

According to Santos, on Monday he’ll file an official complaint with the Office of congressional Ethics against Malliotakis “regarding her questionable stock trading since joining the Ways and Means committee this Congress.”

Santos said he will file an Ethics complaint against Republican Rep. Mike Lawler “for questionable campaign finance violations.”

Santos says “Congressman Lawler owns portion of Checkmate Strategies and he uses the same firm that he is a beneficiary of to pay for services related to his campaign.”

“Is Mr Lawler engaging in laundering money…from his campaign to his firm then to his own pocket?” Santos asked.

Finally, Santos says his third ethics report will concern Republican Rep. Nick LaLotta
who he accused of attending school while he was on the clock at a government job.

“Did Rep Lalota no-show to his tax pay funded job while going to school and if so he can potential have stolen public funds from the tax payers of NY?” Santos asked.

If history has shown us anything, hell hath no fury like a lying conman scorned.

What are your thoughts about Santos spilling tea about his former colleagues?

[MN-Skeptic]

Maybe he should get busy preparing for his own trial.

It sounds like he's taking a page out of Trump's playbook wherein retribution has a prominent role.

Though he is lacking severly in one point: he cannot attempt to claim executive provilege

Are you sure? Santos was probably President in one version of his resumé!

Hell, I think he claimed to be Elian Gonzalez in one version of his resume.

[Overvoice: "Ben knew that no such claim was made and was making a joke. Perhaps not a very good one."]

Anyone else looking forward to a wild send-off from SNL tonight?

George Santos criticized gay marriage on his own wedding anniversary: 'It should have been a civil union'

There were many historic aspects of Rep. George Santos's short tenure in Congress.

One of the less recognized was his status as the first non-incumbent, openly gay Republican elected Congress, particularly at a time when LGBTQ rights have once again become a target of the right.

And in a sit-down with a group of reporters on Capitol Hill on Thursday — the day before his historic expulsion from Congress — the scandal-plagued Republican took a swipe at what most consider to be the foremost achievement of the LGBTQ rights movement.

"I was an opposer of gay marriage," Santos said in response to a question about his relationships with more conservative House Republicans, according to audio obtained by Business Insider.

[Flatpoint High]

well... here comes the divorce!!!!

[pipistrelle]

I didn't know he had a partner of any kind, and how do we know he isn't make-believe/paid?

[Slim Cognito]

Then Why didn’t he just have a civil union? Download some boilerplate contract off the web and have it notarized. He didn’t have to have a church or a judge involved.

There are some (state-provided) benefits that flow only from a state-sanctioned relationship.

And some states eliminated (or never had) civil unions.

With his amount of lies, I wondering if he's really gay...

He is gay-ish in the same way he is jew-ish.

I've not seen him with a partner/husband.
