but somehow kind of more lame
Is there anything about George Santos that isn't a lie? >

The power Republican voters gave him. >

Santos has reportedly been assigned to the small business committee and the science, space and technology committee, multiple news outlets reported.
Strange times we are living in. >

And then MTG is placed on the Homeland Security Committee. Feels like a sick joke. >

Fuck off! There is no wa....
Holy shit you're not actually joking!
They put a major conspiracy theorist on the Homeland Security Committee. Didn't she even say that 9/11 was a conspiracy...?
I wish you all well over there in the US.
EDIT: Spelling >

Its worse than that, she stated that if she had planned the january 6th insurrection, they would have won and there would have been more guns. >

Someone advocating for domestic terrorism appointed to the Homeland Security Committee? That's just lazy writing. >

Nah it’s a major plot twist 😂 >

And now I will appoint MTG to the Homeland Security Committee for no apparent raisin! >

Haha 😂 all jokes aside I’m fairly certain McCarthy struck a deal with her for her vote on his speakership. They always say committee assignments aren’t guaranteed yet this definitely seems suspicious. Especially considering their contentious relationship in the past. >

And, in fact, the GOP are sending their best. >

Hahaha. This guy is a legend.
Oh I'm not Jewish, but I identify as Jew-ish. >

At this point, I think he needs to post his birth certificate. >

True. He might be lying about being alive. >

How do we know George Santos isn’t a swarm of 700 cockroaches in a trench coat?? >

He sure acts like one >

Hey, don't be so rude towards cockroaches. They deserve better than being compared to him. >

Holy shit this dude shouldn’t be in Congress. 
The people who elected him should feel ashamed, but knowing republicans, they’re probably proud. >

Kevin McCarthy has put the goalposts on a dragstrip on how often he has to move from, "Well, I won't ask him to resign unless he's accused of..." >

Didn't he say "Convicted Of", practically guaranteeing he'll stay in office for 2 years? >

Kevin McCarthy is the biggest political whore of the 20's.  Don't even know why he wanted the house speaker.  The amount of things he's going to have to bend over to give, for him to have that seat is not worth the position. >

take it from a country that keeps changing prime minister: the appeal of having the name in the history books, portrait somewhere in the building, a fancy honorary title etc is apparently very appealing, even if you turn out to be terrible at the job >

Ah, no. See they elected that guy to speaker. We keep missing that important democratic bit. >

tbf tory party members did get a say and we got truss, so it's probably for the best that they don't get asked the second time >

Good point. They can definitely be trusted to operate in the public interest and choose the best person for the job. >

Y'all are having a rough go, but I do think there's still much more accountability over there than here. The fact BoJo ended up sacked partly for lying about the party during COVID is pretty big compared to everything the republicans get away with here. And then the Truss debacle. Sunak isn't much better I'm sure, but at least I'm not getting daily alerts on him. >

He was lying about multiple things and even then it took fucking ages and was mostly because he annoyed his own party more than holding him accountable for anything. >

"He would say, 'oh well, the Jews will give more if you're a Jew.' So that's the name he used for his GoFundMe." >

What was the name he used? Jewy McJewface? >

RTFA. It's the second sentence.

Using the name Zebrowski would encourage Jews to "give more," Santos said, per the roommate. >


RTFA

I haven't seen that since my slashdot days. >

“Rip the fucking ass”? >

Read the fucking article >

Oh does the article say what RTFA means? >

Lol.  Perfect. >

"lizards of lebanon"? >

This dude is such the perfect representation of the current republican party >

I didn't think the GOP would put someone worse than Margorie or Bobert into office but here we are. >

He might be better than them actually. I don’t think he’s advocated for having children come to school with guns or anything like that. At least not yet. >

I agree. CrossFit Marge is still the most evil. Not sure who is the dumbest between her and BOOBert. Santos just told the wrong lies... maybe. Still waiting for consequences. >

Everyday we find out this guy is more of a piece of shit than the day before. >

I wouldn't be surprised if they find out he's some psycho serial killer.  Every time I see pics of him, I just get that vibe.  It's his eyes. >

That may be the only way we’d actually have a chance of getting rid of him. >

This is the face of the Republican party, folks. >

so shocking 😑 >

always has been >

I love how everyone is just focusing on the negative about this guy. Yet nobody seems to care that he invented penicillin and helped broker peace between the north and south Korea. >

This AND I heard a clip of him telling us that nobody has ever accused him of any wrongdoings - so… >

I don't get why a PFC in the Army or a GS-6 has to have a background check, but people like Santos, MTG, Boebert, Harris, Biden, and Trump don't. That's one of the dumbest things in U.S. politics. Do you think Santos is the first grifter that got into office? Hell, the entire Republican Party seems to be comprised of low-level con artists, plants, and Russian assets. >

Under the Constitution, the campaign is supposed to be the background check and the election is supposed to be the enforcement mechanism.
Unfortunately, dogmatic partisan politics makes everything break down. >

I think that the DNC should have uncovered all his bullshit during his campaign. I mean didn't his Democratic opponent spend a penny on oppo research? All they had to do was call the employers he listed in his LinkedIn and that would have been enough to raise a ton of red flags. I don't know if that is what you consider 'partisan politics' but it's how the world works. >

I keep hearing people say this, because they are unaware that his opponents DID uncover some of this (I doubt they had all of it, but I could be wrong), but the media as a whole ignored it, with only one small local paper picking up the story. >

Republicans have been pushing the narrative that Democrats are to blame for Santos, because that’s all they’ve got in this case. >

I can only imagine the confusion Republican voters feel when they are told to support habitual liars and con artists...but also blame Democrats for allowing those types of individuals to get into office. >

They’re not confused. Most of them have been conditioned to live in a state of cognitive dissonance their entire lives. >

Part of Er Fascism. "the enemy is both extremely strong, and insanely weak"
AKA, 


"There is a deep state cabal that controls every government on Earth, and are so secret normal people don't know." While at the same time, screaming "They are so weak they can't even keep their members names under wraps! (names everyone that doesn't support their political party)".


"Democrats have to be stopped! Look how weak they are, trying to win elections, they have to rig them!" and then the next sentence scream "It's because of those tough Democrats we have to put liars up!" >

Well Nassau County wanted Jewish representation so they got someone that was Jew-ish and also filled the checkboxes for white, young, Hispanic, gay, wolf of wallstreet, volleyball champion and someone who was victimized by the attack on 9/11. That's who they wanted to represent them so that's who they got. >

Don’t forget he had five of his knees replaced! >

Friend, I've lost count but it's a dangerous time in Congress because Santos is openly a white Nationalist assigned to various committees to which he's going to be "eyes and ears" for McCarthy. For that McCarthy needs a brain replacement - he's going to go on the words of a compulsive liar. >

At 1.2% Ashkenazi, i am more Jewish than him lol >

30% here. I want my share of the Space Laser >

there can only be one at the helm of the laser >

I memba' when Al Fraken had to resign because he took an inappropriate photo >

It’s honestly so fucking ridiculous how lopsided the standards are for the two parties. >

When one party has no issue with taking the low road all the time, it's not surprising at all. >

Right. Taking the high road has no meaning if the other side is happy at the bottom. >

I’m surprised this dudes middle name isn’t fraud >

It actually is but because it was real he doesn’t use it >

Everyone keeps being surprised by Santos.
In 1968 the republican party made Spiro T. Agnew, already under indictment, vice president.  He was led out of the White House in handcuffs, as I recall.
Mind you, it isn't just republicans, but republicans seem to be engaged in a long-running experiment to see just how much the American people will tolerate.
They mostly stay under the radar, but this isn't exactly new.
Stay angry, and don't forget. >

I didn't think it was possible to erode my trust in the government more, but the fact this guy is still running around congress has destroyed what little there was left. >

I thought the same thing, but then this happened >

we need to shut down any more 9/11s until we can get to the bottom of it >

It’s almost like he’s a total piece of shit that maybe shouldn’t be in Congress, but he does sort of fit in with the majority of Republicans. >

He never was not a piece of shit, it's always with congress lol. >

Someone explain to me why this guy isn't being prosecuted for fraud. Explain it to me like I'm 5. >

Once you are in office it is way harder to charge someone with a crime. It shouldn't be but the reality is that law enforcement doesn't want to go after a politician because they have power friends and the agency might get attacked for being "political". Also just being real there plenty of law enforcement who would conceal crimes if it helped Republicans.
Let us never forget that Matt Gaetz who almost certainly hired underaged prostitutes will likely never face consequences. >

Dude is a danger in congress. Not a single bone in his body is capable of telling the truth >

I believe his two knees won’t lie, since they’re not real bones. Just bone-ish. >

Ah yes, of course >

Kevin McC has said that Adam Schiff cannot serve ona  House committee "because he lied to the American people".
Go figure. >

This guy is an almost perfect example of modern Republicans. Almost. Just needs a pinch of white nationalist bloodlust and a secret affair with a barely legal boy and I’ll have BINGO! 😂 >

Modern Republicans are always going like this, we know. >

This guy watched nine seasons of Suits, and told himself ‘I can do that.’ >

He always watches some random shits that makes me produce more lies. >

Every day it gets a little worse. Tomorrow it will be “George Santos stole candy from a group of babies at Central Park” >

“George Santos sold babies in Central Park for candy.” >

If anyone hasn’t figured it out yet: This is exactly how the GOP has operated ever since Citizens United was passed and Cambridge Analytica taught the entire political spectrum how to utilize metadata to laser focus their messaging to maximize intended impact.  The target audience is different, but the unethical and unapologetic manipulation of the masses is the same.  
Because of this, the bottom 99.9% have been incessantly corralled by the powerful into our political market segments based on personal behavior patterns and used against each other for the last two decades.  It’s literally a divide and conquer strategy.   Keep the least fortunate among us focused on hating “others” who they actually have a lot in common with.  That is the only way the very few can stay in power despite the many having so little. >

The GOP has such a deep bench when it comes to human turds >

Oy vey, this מְטוּמטָם >

Is that Hebrew for ‘stupid’? >

Idk... Think it says....metumatam? >

Santos or whoever he is used to be a a piece of shit. He's still a piece of shit but he used to be as well. Some people can't change >

He used to be a lot of things, he faked so much man. >

What kind of POS starts a GoFundMe for a veteran’s service dog and then steals the money, leaving the dog to die?  Karma needs to bite this guy in the ass. >

He loves to lie to the people and this is what makes him an average politician, that's the thing that he is facing, he is used to of lying and he can't change that now. >

He’s Trump without daddy’s money. Seriously.
