I wonder where this is going?
Kind of sounds like this particular pack of lies was created by committee.
Because of this teamwork, he'll be President soon..Kind of sounds like this particular pack of lies was created by committee.
You could categorize what this Santos did as a nice heaping of Republican election fraud. Although it probably wouldn't stand up in court.
The voters did not elect him. They elected who he claimed he was. They elected a guy who got degrees from certain schools. They elected a guy with employment experience with certain big name finance companies. They elected a guy with certain life experiences that they thought aligned with their values and would help him represent them in congress.
Fraud: the intentional use of deceit, a trick or some dishonest means to deprive another of his/her/its money, property or a legal right.
Although this was reported on in the summer - There seems to be all kinds of GOP election fraud going on in NY elections these days
GOP election official is arrested in upstate NY, charged with brazen ballot scheme
The Republican elections board commissioner in upstate Rensselaer County was arrested Tuesday on charges of carrying out a brazen ballot scheme that allowed him to cast votes in voters’ names…www.nydailynews.com
"The Republican elections board commissioner in Rensselaer County, N.Y., is scheduled to plead guilty after he was accused of carrying out a brazen scheme that allowed him to cast votes in other voters names"
yeah but you know I don't care about any of that right now?
I care about where he suddenly gained, and showed, $70 million within about...1 year after basically claiming to be a fucking Bootsblack on his 2021 1040 FFS.
that's really fucking goddamn important. And it's why this thing went into Plaid speed for Fed investigation, lol.
He's making some salient points not mentioned here. Mainly, that Santos' lies were carefully constructed to appeal to the largest democraphics in the district he was running in. Lots of people there lost family and friends in 9/11. So he falsely claims his mother died in 9/11. Lots of Jews and Ukrainian refugees, so his grandparents were Ukrainian Jews who survived the Holocaust. Lots of people in the district work in financial services, so he claimed he worked at Goldman Sachs.

I think it was $700,000.
They got away with it; Santos will be sworn in.I'd like to find out who put Santos up for the job along with the financing that went with it.
Secondly, I'm wondering how did the Santos cabal of string-pullers and influence peddlers ever think they could get away with the scam to begin with. As nakedly blatant it was how Santos and his bankrollers were about forging his certs, it's if Trump himself was running the operation.
Got away with what? He was always going to be sworn in and any attempts to stop that would violate the constitution.They got away with it; Santos will be sworn in.
Go read the post I was responding to.Got away with what? He was always going to be sworn in and any attempts to stop that would violate the constitution.
Still not sure how anyone got away with anything - I anticipate multiple people going to prison, Santos among them.Go read the post I was responding to.

I mean he's very likely headed to prison so I'm still struggling to understand what he got away with.I don't think he meant he got away with being elected unconstitutionally. He basically got away with his con/grift. Santos invented an entirely different human, and ran that human for office. Santos is just an unusually virulent example of a widespread disease.
Now, to be fair.... The issue is how do you determine why people chose who to vote for Santos. Maybe they voted for him because they thought he had a college degree. Or because his "Jew-ish" values aligned with theirs. Or maybe they voted for him because they liked his tie. Or, more likely they voted for him JUST because he was the Republican nominee. But without knowing why people voted for him, it's hard to say if it was due to all lies Santos told. And if Santos election was not due to all the lies he told then, obviously he was legitimately elected.
AND .....The people who were voting for George Santos were knowingly voting for a MAGA aligned Republican in 2022. It’s hard to imagine that they didn’t know they were voting for a serial liar, even if they weren’t aware of what specific things Santos was lying about. Anybody who objects to serial lying of this magnitude as a general principle isn’t voting for a Trump Republican.
Software won't allow me to edit this post to fix the He, which should have been He's. What's up with the Fn software!As much a pathological liar as Trump. He definitely Pub material.
I noticed that he was the "amazing everything man" for the conservatives and other demographics for the area. Almost, like it was based on survey results.He's making some salient points not mentioned here.

George Santos: ["I made a mistake, and I think humans are flawed and we all make mistakes," he said.]
This is clearly something a cold-blooded baby-eating reptiloid alien would say.
This.That’s fine. People make “mistakes”. Doesn’t mean you get to get to be a Congressman
