“My first paycheck.”
Oh, well I'm sure that'll have the intended effect...
Or maybe it would have if Republicans hadn't just gutted the House Ethics Committee today >

Not only that, they appointed a ton of election deniers to powerful committee positions:

House Republican leaders on Tuesday announced their picks for powerful committee chairs in the new Congress, and most of them have an inherent character flaw: They voted to overturn the 2020 presidential election results after fueling the lie that the election was stolen from Donald Trump. >


election deniers

I am so tired of the media using this term.  Call them what they are:  LIARS. >

Idk, "election deniers" emphasizes the antidemocratic nature of their actions, which is worse than mere lying in my eyes >

I can see what you mean but when the whole scam has been branded as "THE BIG LIE", the term "election deniers" softens the blow, as if to say "these people deny that things happened a certain way, but they aren't necessarily liars."  Which they are.
Just my opinion. >

I think we're both right >

Agreed. >

Okay, but may I add another suggestion to the mix? "Domestic terrorists." >

Dems should set up a shadow ethics group and start to collect information. >

Good one >

Ship his ass to Brazil. Problem solved. Corrupt America doesn't have the balls to do what Brazil will. >

Fat chance anything will happen here.  Republicans, among their first acts, gutted the ethics committee.  That's right folks.  This is what happens to order when the insane run the House. >

...to somebody who says he's George Santos >

He meant he’s George San-tos, just like he meant he was Jew-ish, he was just misinterpreted! >

So, "without tos"? But then there's nothing left, and no last name at all. >


A pair of House Democrats on Tuesday filed and hand-delivered to Rep. George Santos (R-N.Y.) a complaint urging the Ethics Committee to open an investigation into allegations the freshman congressman failed to file timely, accurate and complete financial disclosure reports.

Just the beginning of the list of ethics violations Santos has committed, but hey, it's at least a start. >

This is the best tl;dr I could make, original reduced by 83%. (I'm a bot)


A pair of House Democrats on Tuesday filed and hand-delivered to Rep. George Santos a complaint urging the Ethics Committee to open an investigation into allegations the freshman congressman failed to file timely, accurate and complete financial disclosure reports.
"In order to safeguard the integrity of federal ethics laws and the House of Representatives itself, we respectfully request that you immediately undertake a full investigation into this matter of George Santos's failure to timely and accurately file financial disclosure reports and promptly take all other necessary steps to seek appropriate penalties and corrective action," the complaint reads.
Asked about the ethics complaint on Tuesday, Santos told reporters "They're free to do whatever they want to do." Pressed on whether he is concerned, the congressman responded, "I'm not. I have done nothing unethical."

Just handed it right to the guy celebrating the gutting of the ethics committee? I'm sure he'll take care of that immediately. >

I'm waiting to find out that one of the concessions McCarthy made was to put Santos on the ethics committee. >

Nah, McCarthy will put him on the intel committee.
