  He’s three toddlers in a suit trust me
context: Court records show the eviction dispute originated in August 2020, when New York City had suspended evictions amid the COVID crisis. In May 2022, five months after the city lifted the moratorium, the building’s owners terminated his sister’s lease, citing failure to pay tens of thousands of dollars of rent while occupying the rent-stabilized apartment. The owners claimed in court filings that she and two other unnamed people have been squatting in the building since that time, and have failed to satisfy their nearly $40,000 in payment obligations despite receiving more than $30,000 in July from the federal Emergency Rental Assistance Program (ERAP).
  
  Fucking hell. Took $30k in rent assistance, did not pay the $40k they owe, and are still squatting in a rent-stabilized apartment. While Santos's campaign lists payments for that address as "rent for staff".
  What absolute trash people.
  You know what, I'm gonna say it: this is Trump-tier grifting. >
  
  The silence is deafening from the side that universally criticized Biden for using public transit and AOC for clothes shopping on a budget when she first took office. >
  
  At this rate, I honestly wouldn't be surprised if he's caught smoking crack with the My Pillow guy in someone's bathroom cabinet. >

  He's lied so many times, why would he bother to explain? And why would we bother to listen. >
  
  Only to get him to dig the hole deeper. >
  
  I saw a post on r/conservative yesterday saying that the Republican voters need to stop electing social media influencers and conmen and get candidates who can actually govern.
  At least there are a few conservatives out there who are aware of what's going on in their party. >
  
  They also like to complain about their wildly unpopular platforms. Yet, say nothing about what exactly it is they want in a candidate or how they can move forward. 
  They say things like small government, lower taxes, and lower the deficit. Yet those tried and true R's they have talked about over the last 50 years have done none of that. Their platforms have achieved the opposite effect. 
  How can they not see the pattern and downhill progression that is their party. The effen Tea Party wasn't your wake-up call that the conservatives party was will to embrace crazy and their wildly unpopular ideas just to get into power? 
  The can all go to hell. >
  
  Republicans never, ever want to balance the budget while they hold the purse strings. And Republican voters just will not understand that, no matter what you show them. >
  
  That's my point. No one over in r/conservative will admit that none of these things that they campaign on is ever what they do, yet they remain loyal. It's like beating a dead horse. >
  
  That’s because they found an effective playbook and have been using it to trick Americans for at least 40 years.
  It’s insane just how predictable it is, yet it works every time. >
  
  The GOP will seat this guy and not do much to punish him because they need every GOP vote they can stomach.
  Because party over country. >
  
  
  ..$40,000 in unpaid rent.
  
  That is a ridiculous sum of money to be owing and thinking nothing is going to happen >
  
  While squatting in a rent-stabilized NYC apartment, and taking emergency rent assistance, and taking payments for "rent" from Santos's campaign. >
  
  I'm starting to think this guy may not be entirely on the level... >
  
  I hope George Santos can handle all sorts of media organizations being up all in his face. >
  
  They can't even get a fix on where the guy lives. Remarkable. >
  
  I don’t side with any party. I do believe in fiscal conservatism though. But whatever your beliefs, if a guy lies left and right verbally and on his resume, he has to go. Once you blatantly and over the top lie like this you should not be allowed to stay in office. I don’t care your political belief- I wouldn’t even hire you as a slurpee tender at 7-Eleven. >
  
  This is a person following the DJT playbook. A professional liar is not a new concept. Pretending this is new behavior is disingenuous. He’s playing the new game. He might as well be the next Speaker. >
  
  How did he self fund his campaign? >
