Title: And what about NY congressman "George Santos" ?
Post by: fohat.digs on Tue, 27 December 2022, 11:23:10
This guy is clearly a Bozo, but really, even if there is no background clearance system whatsoever in the election process, wouldn't (shouldn't? couldn't?) a national body want to preserve some shred of legitimacy for itself?

Even a right-wing rag like Newsmax reports on his crap:

But Kevin McCarthy is such a spineless twit that he continues to ignore it. I guess that Republicans don't worry about any depth to which they sink.

Somehow it gets worse, he is now getting charged for 7 counts of wire fraud, 3 counts of money laundering, 1 count of theft of public funds and 2 counts of making materially false statements to the house of representatives.

Honestly Santos should go to prison, and despite him being a liar, a conman and definitely not having the interests of the people, he was such a character to the point where it will be kinda sad not seeing him blatantly lie about dumb things and getting caught doing the exact opposite of what he campaigns for, it was really funny.

false statements


That is trivial, several orders of magnitude less than what Trump has done.

But now he is famous and will get plenty of d!ck in prison.

I mean yeah George Santos lies isn't a rare statement in the slightest but I don't know what he was thinking lying to congress, and yeah trump has done a lost worse but that's because he had more power, like if santos was president he would have been the same.
