  Hey George...take Donny boy with you 🙂 Please
context: It seems a legitimate question to ask if George Santos really exists. Brazil is a favorite gateway for Russian to get it's agents into the US. >
  
  I expect that when the heat gets turned up, he'll do a disappearing act. >
  
  Possibly out of a high window. >
  
  Let me offer you this fine tea. >
  
  Oh, it's a bit tangy. What is that? Lemmon? >
  
  Polonilemon. >
  
  Hey! Is this radioactive? >
  
  So far every single thing about him or his campaign has been a lie. I don't even believe he needs glasses and is wearing a fake pair for show. >
  
  It's so he can do a makeover montage just before the next election wherein he removes his glasses and lets his hair down >
  
  Uggh! Janie Santos?? But she has paint on her overalls! >
  
  Heavily underrated comment >
  
  It's almost like the GOP is corrupt or something.... >
  
  When asked for comment Speaker McCarthy ran away with his fingers in his ears yelling "LALALALALA I CAN'T HEAR YOU LALALALALA!". >
  
  What an impotent, sad excuse for a "leader", or human being for that matter.
  I feel like somehow the Republican party has lost their moral compass all the way up their collective asses. >
  
  What will mccarthy say next, probably something like "well now we won't remove george until he's actually convicted and then sentenced." >
  
  Then "nothing in the Constitution says being in jail excludes him". >
  
  He is the test by the far right/Russian conglomerate to see if he survives, if so then game on >
  
  The games been on, George is just another attack on our Democracy >
  
  Right? I'm sure he's not the only one to have been funneled dark money through their 2022 campaign. The question is does everyone (voters, media, FEC, justice dept) focus on Santos only and that's the end of it, or does it shed light on other dubious campaign donations? The way the GOP is rather split on "Santos should resign" vs "He was duly elected" makes me feel like latter group is hoping the heat lets up soon. >
  
  It was already known that the NRA took in Russian money and so did Facebook and yet no one is being held accountable for that. Trump was probably the test run with how much Russian and foreign money he could take and Santos is the next step. There will probably be more and Citizens United proved that we aren’t really a Democracy and that anyone can buy a politician or election. >
  
  Cold hard cash rules the world.
  There's no political problem that money won't disappear for you.
  And should it return, just throw more $$$.
  This is hardly new and is global.
  The real golden rule is ' Those that have the gold, get to make the rules '.
  And the rules don't say anything about sharing the gold.
  As Cyndi Lauper famously sang,
  " Ah, but everybody's only looking out for themselves
  And you say, well, who can you trust
  I'll tell you, it's just nobody else's money
  Money changes everything
  I said money, money changes everything
  Ya think ya know what ya doin'
  We don't hold the strings
  It's all in the past now
  Money changes everything ! " >

  There's a simple explanation, all his donors were killed in the Holocaust and the twin towers on 911. >
  
  At the same time!!! >
  
  So why do we do all this homework AFTER elections? >
  
  My theory? The demise of the fairness doctrine and the rise of the internet have killed actual journalism in this country. The NY Times and The Washington Post give it a good try, but they are vastly outnumbered by the crazies. >
  
  And they are paywalled, so there's no good way to make sure people read their articles. >
  
  How did people read their articles when they were supposedly doing their best work in the 90s and earlier? They bought the paper. No one read the Times for free unless someone left the paper behind at the donut shop. >
  
  Don't think they were criticizing the fact that they charge, more so saying that it makes less reputable alternatives more accessible. >

  Still not as easy to read as a free site. Everything you talked about takes effort. Free page, zero effort. Sad but true. >
  
  If I have learned anything from the republican party, it is this...
  When something this blatant lands in your lap... Look over your shoulder. Because these people are not stupid... Corrupt yes... But not stupid. 
  Which leads me to believe that the party is geared up to do some crazy underhanded shit while we focus on the shit show that is George Santos. >
  
  
  Because these people are not stupid… Corrupt yes… But not stupid.
  
  Oh, there are plenty of them that are also stupid, MTG and Boebert for example. >
  
  Do any of the names of his "Top Donors" appear as donors for any other GOP candidate from that year? >
  
  This is what we need to know... >
  
  I am still convinced George Santos is really Carlos Mencia. >
  
  Who came up with idea before Carlos? >
  
  Indeed! We know Carlos didn't come up with this plan himself... Is he a Russian puppet now? A mole for the Mexican cartels?  DID ANDY DICK PUT HIM UP TO THIS?!! >
  
  Maybe it's some Andy Kaufman performance art piece. >
  
  This is the best tl;dr I could make, original reduced by 86%. (I'm a bot)
  
  
  More than a dozen donors who contributed significant amounts of money to George Santos' 2020 congressional campaign do not appear to exist, an investigation by Mother Jones found.
  These contributions account for more than $30,000 of the $338,000 the Santos campaign raised from individual donors in 2020, according to Mother Jones.
  "If the Santos' campaign fabricated donors, I would expect federal indictments soon," Democratic voting rights attorney Marc Elias tweeted.

  It's like his campaign was just a giant money laundering scheme and he is either a gigantic patsy, or the dumbest fraudster alive. >
  
  This is Dr Evil levels of comedy villainy at this point. 
  The DOJ will announce charges after he wins the 2024 election... maybe. >
  
  The DOJ will announce charges ~~after he wins the 2024 election~~ 28 months after he leaves office... maybe. >
  
  No rush really... we'll get eventual justice. Right. >
  
  How is this guy still walking around without as much as a scratch when people regularly get fired for not wanting to work on a Saturday or being 20 mins late? Why aren’t they arresting the living sh*t out of this conman? >
  
  Brcause mccarthy wants him to stay.   They could vote him out. >
  
  That would seem to indicate they didn't expect a real investigation to ever happen. Then at least they would have another layer of obfuscation. >
  
  Here I am working a real job like a fucking idiot. All it takes to be handed lots of money is an unending willingness to lie about literally anything! >
  
  How many other GOP reps have donors that do not exist? Or rather, how many GOP reps dont have made up donors? >
  
  His donors don't exist. 700k dollars mysteriously was loaned to his campaign. He forged a signature on his updated campaign finance reports. >
  
  Got it: he’s a plant to help Bolsonaro get his green card. >
  
  Santos is no different than any other Republican. I don’t know why we expect any reprecussions against him, given his party does similar shit constantly without any >
  
  He was just more lazy. Most politicians know how to funnel that dark money without risking legal action. >
  
  It’s so depressing how much of a joke our government has become. >
  
  He’s going to blame his treasurer right away. I think he and his treasurer will definitely be charged and I am dying to know where the money came from. 
  I wonder if some of it is money hidden from the Harbor City Ponzi scheme but probably not. >
  
  It would be so funny if it  came out the money came from that "Trump Fund" to "Protect the Election" after he was defeated.  LOL >
  
  It would be funny but that’s impossible. Trump does not spend money. >
  
  Congressman to convict, quite the career arc. 
  This has happened before, and with Santos it might happen again. Well done, George (or whatever your name really is). >
  
  Correct spelling: “George” “Santos” >
  
  Where were they when Trump was president? >
  
  This is a person who belongs in jail not in the Peoples House. Is this honestly the best the GOP can come up with? >
  
  Reminder that this guy currently serves on two committees in the House >
  
  You know the funny thing is that this motherfuckin' liar thought he would have a lock on this cush new job, benefits, decent pay, and he would just fly under the radar. He's a literal parasitic cancer. Congrats (R), he's all yours. >
  
  How is it possible to still get elected? >
  
  Just tell me there’s a shot the seat can be flipped in a fair election if it was fraudulently obtained. >
  
  Seorge Gantos is running for the Republicans >
  
  Wasn’t he a famous Astronaut? >
  
  Yes.  He was also the first man to run around the planet without stopping. >

  Wait....is he.... is he the second coming of Jesus too? >
  
  He was both Adam and Eve! >
  
  Oh man, the religious right is going to be so upset he was both >
  
  Does it even matter?  Can/will the feds remove him from office if it shows he's lied about everything from his campaign money to his shoelace color? >
  
  Can't wait to find out where the money really came from >
  
  The American dream. Become a politician at any cost to receive free healthcare for the rest of your life. Jfc… >
  
  You forgot the best part.  You have to stay in office for 5 years to get it for life.
  Making this the usual gop failure on healthcare too. >
  
  Matt Groening couldn’t create a better Simpson-ish character than this caricature of a politician. >
  
  Good thing McCarthy put him on a committee. >
  
  Hope he’s swiftly expelled from Congress so he can get back to piloting the Starship Enterprise >
  
  Lmfao yeah okay. I'm sure Santos is shaking in his drag boots that he denies wearing. Of course Santos exists in our government because there's literally no consequences other than "boo this man" pieces from publications half the country already distrust. >
  
  I'll eat one of my hats they actually do something. I've been hearing about charges for Various congress people and more with nothing.
  I mean shall we guess how many on both sides do inside stock trading? Those that have been openly caught and those who basically said they do without directly saying it? Anything done? Nope. 
  Caught lying left, right and center, and more. Pushing Conspiracy theories, call for violence.. and now those that did are on powerful committees  . 
  Not to mention the Cult 45 leader who we've been hearing for awhile now about all the horrible things he's done.. yet We're still waiting. >
  
  They exist.  They probably are sanctioned by the US. >
  
  Seems crazy to me that George ain't already somewhere where he can get mental health support because sitting around with the Republican house members is sure to do his head in. >
  
  He should have never been seated. >
  
  Santos is like the Bruce Willis character in ‘The Jackal’ but laughably unintimidating and devastatingly incompetent — Richard Gere would still be rotting in prison >
  
  This is very interesting... Did McCarthy abd the RNC know? They must have... >
  
  NO!  Another lie ?  Incredible, the media still believe this CONgresMAN- this guy obviously is lying - he is a spineless Republican! >
  
  He looks sicker and sicker every photo I see. >
  
  Yes this guy is headed to prison. >
  
  Al K. Holic, Seymour Butz and I.P. Freely are totally real people! >
  
  If George Santos is removed from congress, then the Dems will almost surely win the special election for his seat and the slim GOP majority in the house will go from 4 to 3.
  I don’t understand why Republicans aren’t defending him. Probably because he dressed up in drag. >
  
  The man deserves our respect!  After all he did win a Nobel prize. >
  
  So…. Assuming this is exactly what it looks like and somehow this guy just pulled hundreds of thousands of dollars out of his ass, where did it come from?
  Is he a drug importer or something? >
  
  George's real name is Art Vandelay and, in fact, he IS an importer/exporter. >
  
  It’s clearly Pat from snl. >
  
  Honestly, he looks Eastern European... >
  
  calling it now, Fred Armisen should play George when this docuseries comes out - and it WILL be coming out >
  
  What's his REAL past? >
  
  The Ponzi scheme was real and now he will probably get arrested for that since his election win has revealed he was more involved in that than previously thought. >
  
  I wait with bated breath.! >
  
  Wow an actual Russian plant got into a position of power >
  
  They could just Putin any name >
  
  It is terrifying people like this can so easily attain such a high position in charge of the country. Feels like a bad omen. >
  
  Gut the FEC and have a far-right SCOTUS destroy any campaign finance regulation, what’s the worst that could happen? >
  
  Hey buddy corporations are people too! Have a heart! >
  
  Where did the money come from? >
  
  He was probably using the campaign to launder money from the Ponzi scheme he used to work for.  Unfortunately he won the election so now his money laundering will get caught. >
  
  His real name is Jorge Santana!! >
  
  Wow. He looks completely different in this photo, too. He always looks so different. What’s up with that? >
  
  And McCarthy gave him security clearances and committee seats? >
  
  Poor George!! >
  
  Elephant in the room. George Santos had an illegal marriage to get papers. Shouldnt that invalidate his citizenship making him ineligible for congress and probably destined for ice detention and deportstion to Brasilia or Ukraine or wherever? >
  
  Still waiting on Trump's Indictment..... >
  
  A latin named casual trans GOP politician set to fail since the beginning. This might even be orchestrated by GOP themselves. >
  
  Is it legal to simply retrospectively amend campaign finance filings for the regulatory authorities? If that is so, then anyone can enter false filings and simply correct them retrospectively? Of course the signatories to both the original filings and the corrections should also be known! >
  
  Oh they exist or they are called Putin >
  
  This guy wanted attention and fame but didn't really think out what the spotlight brings
  The human hubris is wild >
  
  Flip the players in Santo's script and you're closer to the truth:
  "From interviewing clowns to creating fake 'posts' the media continues to down spiral as their attempt to smear me fails," he said on Twitter. "I am getting the job I signed up for done, while you all spiral out of control." >
  
  Kitara was lying? what a surprise! >
