If he gets sworn in and then gets kicked out, does he get to collect a pension and health insurance for life?

We tried but got the usual response. At 1st we’re What about Biden he lied or it’s only bad when Republicans do it But now it’s such a scandal opinions have evolved kewl:

But seeing only the Republicans in the House can remove him when he get sworn in

What’s going on now for speaker I don’t hold out much hope whom ever the speaker is will do anything…. Time will tell

you lied, and left out that I clearly said he should be kicked out.

but you still haven’t explained why democrat lies are acceptable, but you dismiss the question thinking that’s a response.

“everything is ok when democrats do it.”

Nope you evolved to that conclusion and theirs nothing wrong with that

1st response Wayne, since you LOVE posting the misdeeds of obscure republicans no one has ever heard of, and assuming his actions speak for all Republicans...

6 or 7 response later. You did say i think he should be impeached

Good for them. He is an embarrassment to our whole political system. Bad job on both parties for not vetting their own or their opponents candidates. This costs the Democrats one seat and I bet both parties spend more money next cycle vetting candidates.

Well let me put it in terms even you can understand. If the lies spoken by democrats fill a wheelbarrow, those spoken by the republicans since Trump started their trip to the dark side, would fill a couple eighteen wheelers.

The cousin and cash handler for one of Russia’s most notorious oligarchs poured tens of thousands of dollars into electing a newly minted congressman-elect who called Ukraine’s government “a totalitarian regime.”

His name George Devolder-Santos

did biden lie when he said he was arrested with Nelson Mandela? Did Blumenthal lie for years when he said he served in the vietnam
war? Did hilary lie when she said she came under sniper fire in that overseas trip?

Let’s see who knows what a lie is.

i think the republican jerk should get kicked out. but if you don’t say the same thing about democrats who lie, you have no standing to complain when a republican does it.

make that wrongs.

Super duper Jim, three really consequential lies, vs tens of thousand very consequential lies by Trump and his minions and he and they are still lying to this very day. You are certainly winning the day with your outstanding defense of the current GOP, good job, keep up the good work, we need the entertainment.

Mostly All conservative live in this world of false equivalencies they dance around the bigger picture and find tiny similarities and then proclaim with See every does it Or individuals have committed the same Sin absence of any nuance or or matters of scale and scope and even intent . What I call intellectually dishonesty

its like suggesting a serial killer , and a drunk driver who killed some Are the same

or the election just one of many pushing a dubious interpretation of what happened in 2016 here 1 example

Glenn Youngkin: “In 2016, Democrats suggested that the election was stolen.
contention that the Democratic response in 2016 equates with the Republican response to 2020 runs into trouble. The Democrats, while questioning events that occurred during the campaign, didn’t contend there was widespread vote-counting fraud that flipped the election.

The Democratic leaders cited by Youngkin’s office also made a distinction about 2016 that Trump and his followers did not about 2020. While the Democrats rejected the legitimacy of Trump’s presidency based on the oddities of the campaign, they acknowledged that he won the election. and did not attack the capitol At the Suggestion and direction of the POTUS


And we see this again play out with Bidens 10 or 15 Documents with THe GOP screaming Bidens being treated Differently..than Trump of course His being treated differently

Biden he hasn't claimed they were planted he hasn't claimed he declassified them. He didn't go to court to claim executive privilege He them turned over immediately and the also decided to to look for more .

Biden 15 Documents 10 plus years Old

Trump 100 documents 4 years Old

Both should not have been in either location .. still waiting to see how many have actual been declassified

In 2 years, George DeSantos went from being destitute and unable to pay his rent to lending his campaign $705,000.

Where did that money come from?

He quotes the same old few things and TRIES to say it is the same as the thousand of lies told by Trump. Apologies mean nothing to Jim.

Looks like Santos is Biden's fault:

Rep. Claudia Tenney (R-NY) said, according to Raw Story, that it’s Biden’s fault because he “sets a bad example for young people like George Santos.” Santos is 34 and his trouble with the law – at least with Brazilian law – started well before Biden’s presidency. Santos’s first, failed campaign for Congress also occurred before Biden was president.

Tenney said that ethics don’t matter in politics because there are people like Biden but didn’t explain further.

Her comments are similar to those made by Rep. Marjorie Taylor Greene (R-GA) in December. Greene defended Santos, saying that Democrats have lied in the past so it’s not immoral for Santos to have made up an entire life history. Many of her examples of Democratic lies were themselves lies, including an accusation that Rep. Ilhan Omar (D-MN) married her brother and lied about it, which is not true and is a disgusting rumor made up by the far-right to attack the Black and Muslim Congresswoman.

so if santos apologies, you have no further concerns? Sure paul. Sure.

self serving apologies from a politician who wants to stay in power, mean very very little.

who told tens of thousands of lies? Santos?

i’m not comparing trump to anyone. I’m comparing Santos lies to Bidens and to Blumenthals . the fact that none of you can counter that other then to insult me, tells me i’m right.

if blumenthal lies about serving in vietnam, how is that less a consequential than santos lying about where he went to school?

if Biden lies about getting attested with Nelson Mandela, or Hilary lies about getting shot at by a sniper, by what standard are those lies less consequential that Santos lying about where he went to school?

Just clearly explain why Santos is worse.

And Ive said he should be kicked out. so i’m consistent. unlike you guys.

And i never said trump lies the same amount as biden or
anyone.

If you’re confused about why a pathological narcissist shouldn’t be in a position of power, consider this:

Just hours after the deadly Jan. 6 insurrection at the U.S. Capitol, 147 Republicans lawmakers voted to overturn then-president Donald Trump’s election loss, following months of his baseless claims that the November U.S. election had been stolen.

Republicans are just so desperate!

They can’t seem to grasp that nothing anyone else did or does changes what Trump did.

Biden chose to follow the protocols concerning mishandling classified information, Trump chose to ignore them.

I wonder how many members of the House, Senate and the SCOTUS are rifling through their house, summer house, Dad’s house, plane, boat, etc. looking for classified documents they forgot about?

And I wonder if any of them will have the integrity to return them, instead of burning them in their fireplace?
