  ha, no no didn't even notice. I was just joking about the wording of the headline, reads weird. lawyer kills a gang, or at least how I processed it. wat? lol
context: "After Folha sent questions to Santos’s office in Portuguese, the paper got a response that said Santos does not understand the language. Santos has given interviews in Portuguese and is the son of Brazilians. The congressman did not respond to the questions when sent in English."
  
  Incredible move, no notes >
  
  His Brazilian mother was reported to not speak English. If he doesn’t speak Portuguese how did they communicate? >
  
  Same way they have since she died on 9/11,  he calls Miss Cleo. >
  
  Every headline about Santos is a banger >
  
  This one is getting buried by the new stuff. The 24 hour news cycle has 4 completely independent stories on him. It's crazy. >
  
  Can’t this guy do anything like a normal person? >
  
  Ha! We're talking about a Republican representative here. >
  
  Hiring a convicted lawyer?  Kinda like hiring a known criminal to protect your life savings.... >
  
  “If you can’t beat 'em, buy 'em”? >
  
  A criminal...lawyer >
  
  “Is he a lawyer that…”
  “Yes.” >
  
  Maybe this guy needs to take that brain test Trump took where you have to identify the lion and draw hands on a clock.   
  There's something very not right about him.   
  I don't think he could remember "person, man, woman, camera, TV". >
  
  "Me, me, me, camera, I invented tv. >
  
  Santos just competing with MTG for news coverage >
  
  I heard Santos owns five first-printing Black Lotuses. >
  
  If he a MTG player? 🤣 >
  
  God I hope not >
  
  Jesus H Tit, Santos, still trying to be relevant, No one cares, about Santos! Republiqans, refuse to have a moral. Dems, waiting for an actual opposition party to fight against. >
  
  The company you keep! >
  
  Where’s Heisenberg? >
  
  Oh this just gets better and better… >
  
  I’m not sure why this headline made me laugh out loud. >
  
  the lawyer killed a Brazilian gang?
  ah
  
  Jonymar Vasconcelos, 47, received an 18-year sentence in 2007 over the shooting death of a mechanic Aristeu Vieira de Mattos in 2004, according to São Paulo newspaper Folha.
  The outlet reports that Vasconcelos is believed to have paid for the killing >
  
  I certainly didn’t mean to trivialize the lawyer’s alleged crimes.  I believe what “struck me” as humorous… was that Santos (an active Republican serving in congress) had to hire a lawyer even sleazier than the fictional Sal Goodman to represent him in a serious legal matter.
