  If I had an award I'd give it to you for this comment! Alas...
context: It's funny to think, but our campaign finance laws are so toothless that this might actually be what takes him down. A little bit of light wire fraud is much less concerning than all of the 199.99 expenses that are just below the $200 reporting limit,  or all of the major donors not turning out to actually exist, or the unanswered questions around where the money for his campaign actually came from, or the links to a Russian Oligarch...   But whatever does the job. >
  
  For what it's worth, there are 37 $199.99 expenses, which is a pretty low total ($7400) compared to the $2.5 million of his campaign, but this is also potentially the tip of the iceberg in his campaign finance violations. >
  
  It's probably cause for investigating everything. >
  
  Seriously, is there a Republican out there who can explain to me why they aren't all also demanding his resignation?  Have you all really become that cynical? >
  
  Every New York Congressman has asked for his resignation. Because they are closet to the flame and know. There won't be another Republican Congressman elected from New York for the next 50 years. >
  
  Doubtful, new yorks 3rd would go democratic in 2024 guarenteed but thats about it. >
  
  Wait until people start seeing the con artist and fraud his sister is too. >
  
  As someone from NY-3, most people who supported santos mostly just said "well the democrats do the same" >
  
  What a fucking clown show the republican party has become since George Bush and Dick sent the nation to war on bullshit intelligence reports.  They got away with that so now the lying and deceit just keeps ramping up.  This shit is insane >
  
  Err, it’s been longer than that. >
  
  Started with Tricky Dick. Then instead of doing some soul searching, they instead doubled-down when Reagan showed them how they could win again. After that, the circus just kept getting bigger and more ridiculous until we ended up here. >
  
  But we are still working on the frosting here just wait until we get into the doughnut hole. George has overwhelmed the entire Republican agenda. George has become story number one. And story number two is the Republican defense of Freshman Congressman who should have resigned last week. But there is a medical reason why Curious George, Anthony Katara Devolder Santos hasn’t resigned yet.
  He is mentally ill. It’s not funny anymore. A diabetic going into a coma might appear to be drunk. But it is outward sign of a serious medical issue. I’m not a doctor, but as a mentioned before. I had a cousin with this same illness. When you or I, embellish our resume’ or tell a story to the boss about being sick. Inside our heads we know that we aren’t telling the truth. Some of us will even have pangs of guilt about lying. >
  
  You’re right. In the same breath, I honestly believe Trump is also mentally ill. Sane people just don’t do the shit these people do. For example the way Trump speaks “shifty Schiff and his witch-hunt” I mean- who repeats the same phrases a 9 year old bully would say over and over again. Neither one of them are sane and one of them runs a cult that 30-40% of our country are members of. I agree it’s not funny and the scary thing is- nothing will be done until it’s too late- until he does something so terrible that it can’t be ignored. Then they will pretend they never thought he was seriously a danger or didn’t realize he was actually ill. >
  
  Trump is defiantly mentally ill. >
  
  ...And that Ladies and Gentlemen is the defense his lawyers will use to keep out of jail.🤪 >
  
  I wouldn't doubt it at all. Nixon suddenly developed phlebitis  after resigning and spent time in one of those $10,000 a day hospital rooms. The ones with concierge service with freedom of movement. After it was clear Nixon wouldn't be prosecuted he got better and went home >
  
  Is George Santos an actual person or some kind of AI-driven android designed to test how much corruption one person can get away with in the US? >
  
  An AI known as ShatGOP.
