Are we sure he’s not a Dem plant to make Repugnicans look bad? Like how can one guy be actually this stupid?
It certainly defies credulity that one person could be this fucking dense and reach such high office, yet the implication that democrats could successfully run such a complex subterfuge is somehow even more unlikely.

Does this mean they support school shootings, kids heads blown off, shoppers gunned down at Walmart?
WTF in gods hell is this ?????
F.... I'm out of here America while I have a hint of sanity remaining.
If there is a god in heaven he'll drop a huge nuke on our asses BECAUSE we deserve it.

We need another Vietnam war, and send all of these gun freaks over to fight in it since they love their AK's so damn much. And I'd LOVE to see just one guy with an AK sneak into congress. After all, the guy need only shoot one half of the floor. Only one half.

Yeah this is my thought - Trump could have spent the rest of his life being a penny ante grifter had he not won the presidency. Both him and Santos are dogs that caught the car.
Dumbest thing he's ever done, becoming president while still running his criminal frauds. He probably wished that Obama hadn't insulted his ego enough to make him have to run.
He did it to feed his ego and didn't expect to win. Multiple people have said this. Once he did win (and probably before) he got addicted to the sweet, sweet nectar known as campaign grifting. Don't forget, he announced his campaign to run for re-election almost a month BEFORE he was even sworn in.

the tapes

That video at the beginning of your article, which does not contain the secret recording, has something else interesting in it. The local reporter in Long Island who first broke the story about Santos' lies says the newspaper had looked over his campaign financial disclosures. Which say his campaign spent $1.5 million. But according to the reporter, he ran essentially no campaign at all. No commercials. Not even a lawn sign.

So we're beyond wondering where his campaign money came from. We're now wondering what happened to it after it arrived. Like, whose bank account is it in right now...

The good news for George is that since he's only 34 years old, he might still be alive when his prison term ends.

At least the orange monkey said a few truthful statements. Santos absolutely everything has been made up. And while yea the orange monkey was ill prepared to do the job, there was staff to support him. Well luckily Santos incompetence only affects his district. Him being a single rubber stamp for the spineless one is inconsequential in the long run.

The latest is he apparently owes almost $3500 in unpaid traffic violations from FL and NY. Somehow I don't see FL going after him though. I'd love it if his ass was hauled out of Congress mid session on a warrant :D.

George Santos may owe thousands for traffic violations in two states - CBS News

And there may be more on the way too.

The New York Post reported in January that a Nissan Rogue driven frequently by Santos in recent months had been issued speeding tickets at least five times since he was elected on Nov. 8, "including four times in school zones."

I can't stand it when people speed through school zones. One time I had a car ride my rear bumper when passed a busy middle school. They were still on my tail when we came to a traffic light, so I stopped short for the red. Looked in the rear view just in time to see her wear her entire coffee.

Yeah .. I'm sure that schlub pulls in ~750k/yr and drives a Rogue. Makes complete sense.

Let me guess, somehow the Nissan got mysteriously stolen, all of the sudden. Dumb civil service dude in the shop tried that excuse when he was going through his periodic review. Turned out it was repossessed. Bye, bye.

No, they've lied at similar levels. Either you really went out of your way to ignore just how rampant Turmp's lies were or, like I said, you smashed your self in the head with a hammer, but you need your head checked if you're really gonna pull this "nah, Turmp was actually ok, cause he told the truth once out of 50 billion lies, but this fucking guy now he stretches my incredulity!"

Further, Turmp's lies were about MUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUCH more important stuff and almost always were even more ridiculously able to be fact-checked basically immediately and shown to be lies.

The more I see of people's thoughts, the more I fully understand why and how we got here. We fully deserve this political reality.
