Prediction: Kevin McCarthy will let George Santos be seated because he’s weak and desperately needs his vote. By spring, the real scandal will be the origins of Santos’ money, a scandal McCarthy could have averted but didn’t. And it’ll be big. Because where’s the money from?

From the HOW LOW CAN ONE GO Department: On George Santos’ claims that his family was Jewish and fled Nazis during WWII: “‘I never claimed to be Jewish,’ he said. ‘I am Catholic. Because I learned my maternal family had a Jewish background, I said I was “JEW-ish.”’”

Claiming what he did wasn’t illegal So it’s ok. That was your statement to defend Trump paying his taxes Aka in support un ethical behavior Republican won’t vote to remove him . Kevin needs his vote and House Republicans are to cowardly to put Honesty and integrity before Party And of course you deflect But you only care when republicans do it. Again you confuse telling a lie and being a lie that’s Santos a complete fabrication Senior House Republicans were so keenly aware of alleged inaccuracies and embellishments in U.S. Rep.–elect George Santos’s professional biography, that the topic became a “running joke,” multiple insiders close to House GOP leadership reportedly told the New York Post. Such honor and integrity Posted from my iPhone/Mobile device |
Santos is the defacto face of today's Republican Party. A pathological liar who justifies his actions with more lies and is proud of what he did. Proof that Republicans have no shame and will cheat and lie at any cost just to win.

no, republicans won’t vote to remove that congressman, just as democrats won’t vote to impeach biden for his numerous outrageous lies, nor will they vote to impeach senator Blumenthal for lying about serving in Vietnam. Nor did they punish Himary for lying about coming under sniper fire. Why would the GOP be expected to do what you don’t expect democrats to do? politicians lie. if you think liberals don’t lie, have fun with that. |
also wayne, on the tucker carlson show last night, that lying republican congressman-elect was taken out to the woodshed by guest host Tulsi Gabbard. She gutted him like a fish, which he deserved.

a bit off topic but funny guess who said this and about who I absolutely cannot stand this guy. Nothing but petty insults for everyone who disagrees with him. He's challenging their courage, for God's sake. Have we ever in our history, had a president so juvenile, so petty, so vindictive? THIS is the guy that was supposed to unite us? |

how come you don’t care that democrats didn’t do a thing about lies told by Biden, Blumenthal, Hilary? Why is it only concerning to you, when republicans lie to look better to voters? That’s a key question. One you can’t answer. |

Only you see lies as some how equal You should learn what a white is a harmless or trivial lie, And what lying to voters to create a candidate that doesn’t exist Most people call that Being a Fraud a person or thing intended to deceive others, typically by unjustifiably claiming or being credited with accomplishments or qualities. "mediums exposed as tricksters and frauds" And the elephant in the room Jim Biden and Blumenthal were not elected or re elected on because of their lie people were aware With Santos that isn’t the case those who voted for him were unaware of his lies However in the future if he last to re election and his constituents vote him back in . That’s their choice Posted from my iPhone/Mobile device |
All things are equal in right wing politics
George Santos pretended to be a gay Afro-Latino Ukrainian Brazilian Catholic Jew whose mother died on 9/11, whose ancestors survived the Holocaust, whose employees died in the Pulse club mass shooting, and whose net worth rose by millions overnight.

And, since you’re saying lies don’t matter if voters knew about them beforehand, then you’re not saying this guy should get kicked out, right? you’re saying there should be another election so that voters, now aware of his lies, can decide if those lies matter? “everything is ok when democrats do it.” liberal hypocrisy, always something to behold. |

And let the voters vote on the actual candidate. I doubt many Republicans care they did vote in a no Christian multiple divorce adulterer p u s s y grabbing tax evading lier all read. So he has a chance Seems you just can’t accept that all lies are not created equal And you sound like a child with your canned response it’s ok when democrats do it. So in Jim’s world Biden claimed gas prices were lower than they were Or Hillary said sniper shot at her plane And Santos saying vote for me the candidate that I 100% made up. Are the same ! just shoes how much of intellectual dishonest person. You can be If you can’t see the differences And Jim even with Trump’s false or misleading claims total 30,573 over 4 years.

I am Catholic," he told the Post. "Because I learned my maternal family had a Jewish background I said I was 'Jew-ish.'"
You can’t make this up. Nassau County District Attorney Anne T. Donnelly, a Republican, said the fabrications and inconsistencies were "nothing short of stunning." "The residents of Nassau County and other parts of the third district must have an honest and accountable representative in Congress," she gets it As a candidate in 2020, in a filing to the U.S. House clerk, George Santos disclosed no assets or income — just that he’d been compensated in excess of $5,000 by LinkBridge Investors. Two years later, in a filing ahead of a race he’d go on to win, Santos disclosed an apartment in Rio de Janeiro, checking and savings accounts and dividends from his eponymous Devolder Organization of between $1 million and $5 million. That, in addition to a salary of three-quarters of a million dollars. Posted from my iPhone/Mobile device |

1) conspiracy to defraud the US (same as Mueller with Russians in 16 and Trump in 20), and: 2) filing false statements to FEC. Time to add a third potential federal crime: campaign finance fraud. In 2021, Santos incorporated the Devolder Org in FL, which has no known assets. In 2022, he reports income of $750k, all from Devolder. He then gives $700k to his campaign. Where did that money come from? Posted from my iPhone/Mobile device |
I don't believe a business can loan a campaign money.
What will be a bridge too far that will cause the Rs to disown Santos? I think the only thing would be a video of him saying he believes Trump lost. |

This is where Trump has taken much of the R party:
When Rep.-Elect George Santos admitted that he “embellished” his “résumé” during his 2022 campaign, the New Yorker’s critics were quick to respond that his fabrications went way beyond embellishment. Santos (whose district includes parts of Queens and Long Island) claimed that his grandparents were Ukrainian Jews and Holocaust survivors, that he had an abundance of real estate assets, and that his mother was killed on 9/11 — none of which was true. Regardless, some Republicans have been rushing to Santos’ defense, including Rep. Marjorie Taylor Greene of Georgia. And Senate Minority Leader Kevin McCarthy has been in no hurry to throw Santos under the bus, as he knows he will need Santos’ vote if he is going to be chosen as House speaker in 2023. In a scathing column published by The Bulwark on December 28, Never Trump conservative Charlie Sykes emphasizes that the Santos scandal is not only an indictment of the congressman-elect, but underscores the GOP’s overall dysfunction. “Embellished? I do not think that word means what the Talented Mr. Santos thinks it means,” Sykes explains. “To ‘embellish’ is to adorn, decorate, enhance, gild, beautify, and festoon — and on occasion, it means to ‘exaggerate.’ This Santos did not do. He just made s**t up out of whole cloth. He did not place doodads on his résumé: He lied about his schooling, his degrees, his background, his criminal history, his employment, and about the non-existent properties he claimed to own.” The conservative columnist continues, “He lied that his employees were killed in the Pulse nightclub shooting. He lied about his Jew-ishness and about his grandparents escaping the Holocaust. He used fake quotes from Winston Churchill. He lied about his money, probably lied on financial disclosure forms — which is actually a crime — and lied about his lying. And then, having constructed this Babel of Fabulism, he turned to the playbook of disingenuous non-apologies.” Sykes laments that because Santos is a Republican, he is getting a pass from other members of his party. “Of course, a political party with any sort of intact immune system would move quickly to send this sociopath back to ScamLand, whence he came,” Sykes argues. “But this is the GOP circa 2022, and so, it faces a painful dilemma. With a narrow majority in the House, Republicans — and especially Kevin McCarthy — need his vote, of course. But that’s not the real problem here, is it?” Sykes continues, “After years of ignoring, enabling and rationalizing Big Lies and small ones, it will now be exceedingly difficult for the GOP to find their misplaced conscience that might morph into outrage and something like a moral standard. As Nick Catoggio writes, ‘Anyone willing to set aside their qualms about Trump for the sake of holding executive power logically should be willing to set aside their qualms about Santos for the sake of holding legislative power.’ So, not surprisingly, GOP leaders are either silent, or in a forgiving mood.” Greene, Sykes observes, is “all in” for Santos. After former Rep. Tulsi Gabbard (an ex-Democrat turned independent) asked Santos some tough questions when filling in for Tucker Carlson on Fox News, Greene attacked her for showing “zero grace.” The far-right Georgia congresswoman tweeted, “I think we Republicans should give George Santos a chance and see how he legislates and votes, not treat him the same as the left is.” Sykes laments, “The responsibility for this entire goat-rope lies with Santos and the GOP, but it’s worth noting that all of this should have been exposed before the election by the local media and Dem oppo research. Balls were dropped.” |

look, i’d say kick the guy out and have another election. but your side would never, ever agree that they need to be held to the same standard Is there a specific reason why republican lies are more problematic than democrat lies? |

accusing me of being in a cult, isn’t explaining the hypocrisy. |

Blumenthal lied for years about serving in Vietnam. Biden got caught plagiarizing and telling god knows how many whoppers. Liz warren. Hilary Clinton. Not one of those bothers you one bit. Partisan politics is always the deciding factor for you. always just have a rule that gets allied evenly to both sides. That sounds reasonable to me, but scares the living sh*t out of you. |

so using that logic, if you and wayne cite santos’ lies the same number of times, those lies no longer matter? Blumenthals lie is far worse worse than anything santos said, which is exactly why today that lie is a crime. unless a democrat tells it, apparently. Gimme a break. Trump is in a category all by himself. We’re taking about santos. the reason why i bring those lies up, is because you guys get all twisted in knots in a pathetic, humorous attempt to explain why those lies are so much more benign. “everything is ok when democrats do it.” |

What’s the maximum number of lies that are allowed, before we should start caring? do democrats get a larger number? |
