  ny post also a running joke
context: I totally believe that the Republican Party classifies lies as "funny." No doubt. >
  
  What he thought was funny was that McCarthy is also on Putin's payroll. >
  
  McCarthy strikes me more as the getting blackmailed type rather than the getting paid type. >
  
  Lindsey Graham comes to mind for some reason >
  
  At least one of his lady bugs is a hidden camera >
  
  
  “The most important purpose that Santos serves is voting for Kevin McCarthy, until then nobody’s going to do anything,” the second insider said. “He won his election. He’s a member of congress. Too bad for Democrats. Should have figured this all out beforehand. He will have committee assignments.”
  
  Republicans:  we put liars in office and we're happy about it. >
  
  Republicans: "Democrats should have caught us lying. It's all their fault."
  The GOP has no morals. Their only guiding principle is power.

  If anyone needs another example of how little some of the modern GOP thinks of their own voters, not to mention the country they claim to care so much about they want to build a wall around. 
  Now we know a foreign agent can be elected on a bogus resume and still serve as long as they vote the party line and say “Oh Well! The Democrats should have caught it!”
  The only thing this Santos should say next week is “I resign” >
  
  I mean, we do live in a world where Democrats are to blame for every bad thing Republicans do.  They always blame us for not stopping them. >
  
  The GOP is a running fucking joke. >
  
  Sure GOP is fulk os scums but the real fucking joke is the constitutes who voted this guy in. >
  
  The real joke is on dems who failed to look into his background until AFTER the election. >
  
  This man is a refugee, cancer survivor, single mother, and a three-time shark attack victim (same shark). Cut him some slack. >
  
  I'm not laughing. >
  
  Cons care about one thing: POWER. And they don't care how they get it. 
  They won't condemn Santos. >
  
  
  They won't condemn Santos.
  
  I'm honestly surprised anyone thinks they would. >
  
  Serious question: what does it take to fire someone from office? All I ever see are people calling for their resignation and nothing usu happens. >
  
  They either need to be expelled by a 2/3rds vote or resign. >
  
  Ok so that will never happen. Any other reasonable way? >
  
  My understanding is he has a warrant for his arrest in Brazil. The country he was born in. Something about fraud. Go figure. But now he's an American so he'll never go back. >
  
  I believe we have a extradition treaty with Brazil. >
  
  Not exactly. >
  
  What to you mean not exactly out extradition treaty went into effect in 1965.  It says we will send people over for prosecution as long as the stated crime is a crime in both countries.  Fraud is a crime here and is what he is being charged with in Brazil which falls under this treaty. >
  
  “He’s a fake and a fraud. Haha - so funny!”
  -House GOP >
  
  He is the republican party, nothing but trash. All the people I knew who voted Trump, were liars. Always exaggerating their lives as they never really did anything, so have to make up things. One person I knew took my marine stories told around a fire and made them his own, lie right to your face about pretty much anything. Had not seen some people in quite some time, 10 yrs later absolutely nothing has changed for them, still spinning their wheels as they complain they are being left behind. In their 50s, zero savings, same junk piled in the yard, spend all day smoking pot. Then rant the country can't be left in the hands of democrats. >
  
  This was lame research — they did not uncover the lies about working at Citibank, Goldman, degree, religion, uncover the criminal case in Brazil — >
  
  Yeah, it's the Dems fault that Republicans are such shitheels.  Why can't people understand that? >
  
  So the RNC really doesn’t vet candidates….got it… >
  
  Oh, they knew. They liked him because he’s an unflinching, bald-faced liar who has some “appeal” to minority groups (gay, Latin). He’s the GeeOhPee’s ideal candidate! >
  
  How does this not prove there’s no moral code for republicans? ‘Stuff we already knew’ like it’s a nothing burger in republican parlance. So he lied about his sexual orientation, his religion, schooling, work experiences, wealth, legal issues etc. 
  And Al Franken was forced to resign for a joke photo taken years before his political career. >
  
  They tried something similar in Georgia with Herschel. >
  
  The truth is a joke, lies are hilarious, the gop doesn’t give two shits which is which as long as they are “winning”. >
  
  Impeach & prosecute him for fraud.
  Also, always downvote NY Compost, & fuck the dirtbag Murdochs. >
  
  Prosecute him for fraud? A lying politician isn't subject to the fraud statute >
  
  Depends. If he lied on mandatory financial disclosures, he certainly is. >
  
  I can’t be the only one that thinks George Santos is an obvious fake, right? Name sounds extremely close to sounding like “George Soros”, his family allegedly survived the holocaust, also a Republican… Something’s very sus here. >
  
  That seems to be his real name, but that's the only authentic thing about him as near as I can tell. >
  
  It’s not funny. >
  
  I missed the funny part of the running jokes. >
  
  The GQP voters love this lying POS. They voted for a known liar with Chump, too. >
