Oh, yeah.

He lied, cheated, then lied some more when called on the first lies, and so on. And there’s no mechanism to deal with him?

I call BS. We will not simply say ‘oh well’

or put an asterisk after his votes and carry on. That is, as Foggy would say, metaphysically absurd. ‘Yeah, he broke a bunch of laws but not one that specifically says he can’t do what he did, so…’

COME ON!!! Extrapolate!

Rules are Human made. So make up some rules to toss this clown.

Think hard - when the former guy can declassify documents that way - surely We The People can declassify this clown

Extradite him to Brazil?

He does have an outstanding warrant there...

He's even made the news down here.

Months before the New York Times published a December article suggesting Rep.-elect George Santos (R-N.Y.) had fabricated much of his résumé and biography, a tiny publication on Long Island was ringing alarm bells about its local candidate.

The North Shore Leader wrote in September, when few others were covering Santos, about his “inexplicable rise” in reported net worth — from essentially nothing in 2020 to as much as $11 million two years later.

The story noted other oddities about the self-described gay Trump supporter with Jewish heritage, who would go on to flip New York’s 3rd Congressional District from blue to red, and is now under investigation by authorities for misrepresenting his background to voters.

George Santos told Lara Trump he has “had the privilege of doing business” with the Trump organization “in the past.”

Maybe he actually got his college degree from Trump University!

Comer: "[George] Santos is off to a fast start, but he's got a long way to go to catch all the lies that Joe Biden has told throughout his political career."

You think too small!

Santos would claim to have been Professor of Mendacity and Fiscal Diversion in the Faculty of Steakology at Trump University. And he'd say he has the NFT to prove it.

Please don't give the old guy the idea that selling off his old warehouse stock of Dry Age Beef steaks with attached NFTs were to be a good thing

Santos claims he was born in Queens, NY.

It has been alleged, however, he also claimed to be born in Brazil.

I'm sure Arpaio and Zullo are on it.

#140

Yeah, we definitely need to see his birth certificate.

#141

Haven't followed this dumpster fire much but in an interview he did, the lady said he's been called "THE ANNA DELVEY* OF CONGRESS" and that seems really good and accurate.

They're about the same age. Once the dotard opened the floodgates to lying without shame, they're all doing it, figuring they won't get caught and if they do they can tie the system up for long enough for people to forget.

Santos doesn't have shame, but when he's advised it will cost a minimum of $1M to get through a House Ethics investigation, he may not care as much about his constituents. That's what happened with Anthony Weiner, when he heard the price he was gone. Of course, they won't tell Good Ole' George this until after he votes for Kevin.

He is just following in the footsteps of Cpl. Klinger.

That was such a great scene.

At least Klinger was a very good medic.

Umm ... they have only three more shopping investigating days before Christmas he gets sworn in on January 3rd!

I admit I am okay with Santos Baby getting sworn in. The longer the shitstorm over him lasts, the worse it will be for the Pubs in Disarray.

#147

I have to think they are trying to get him to resign before the new Congress starts. I doubt they have the backbone to expel him, even if it would demonstrate that they would do the ethical thing. If the Freedumb caucus wanted him out, they probably could accomplish it, assuming many in the Democratic caucus would vote to remove him. They could probably get enough votes without the crazy caucus, but they won't move without them.

This could become a pawn in the GOP struggle for who will be the speaker.

I'd think the crazy caucus would *want* him out, to reduce the number of votes for Kev. But I'm wondering who would bring the motion to not seat him if there's no voted Speaker yet, or whether they have to have the Speaker vote be the first thing, or what. Because obviously Kevin isn't going to want him gone until his position is a lock.

I annoyed someone the other day by pointing out that to be "Caucasian" you have to be from the Caucasus Region, which is basically eastern Turkey going up the eastern side of the Black sea to the western side of the Caspian sea.

George Santos Says His Mom Died Of 9/11-Related Illness. Advocates Say He’s Lying

Victims advocacy organizations and legal firms managing the cases of those affected by the September 11th terrorist attacks say they have no record of Congressman- elect George Santos’ mother, Fatima Devolder, entering a victims’ compensation claim or participating in any lawsuits related to the attacks.

Santos has repeatedly claimed that his mother, who died of cancer in 2016, was a 9/11 survivor who was “in her office in the South Tower on September 11, 2001,” and “passed away a few years later when she lost her battle to cancer.” At one point he claimed that both of his parents had been in the towers the day of the attack.
