“It almost would have been a dereliction of my duty if I did not support this,” Guest said Friday. “I did what I felt was right from a personal point of view.”
It absolutely would have been yet another dereliction of your duty.
Wow, I didn’t know you could be a Congressman without logging in.
Fuck that big fat liar.
Let it be know that if you take office while actively committing fraud, embezzlement, and lying through your teeth about nearly every single detail of your life and accomplishments, the rest of Congress will ONLY let that slide for 11 months! You’ve been warned!
Let’s be honest. None of those reasons mattered to his party. He got ousted because he cross dressed.
Proof: Trump
Plus a month or more before taking the “oath” of office.
(Unless you’re elected President, in which case, bully for you!)
You mean:
… will ONLY pay you $159,500 with tax dollars. You’ve been warned!
Who are the two Democrats who voted present instead of yes? And why did they do that??
Scott (VA) and Williams (GA) voted Nay
Green (TX) and Jackson (IL) voted present. Couldn’t give you a reason though
Jackson Lee (TX) and Phillips (MN) were not voting for some reason as well as AOC who I suspect didn’t vote since she’s also a NY member
Jackson Lee (TX) and Phillips (MN) were not voting for some reason as well as AOC who I suspect didn’t vote since she’s also a NY member
Out of NY’s 26 Representatives in Congress 22 voted to oust Santos and 3 (including Santos himself) voted to keep him in. AOC was the only NY Representative who chose not to vote. I wonder why she abstained.
It’s probably time to check those closets for some skeletons. AOC at least makes a little sense, not wanting to make it seem personal, but I would have rather she ran up the score.
Honestly it’s a bit strange, she’s never been shy about confrontation.
Edit: lmaaaooooo case in point, what’s she’s said about Pelosi
She’s become a bit of an establishment Republic recently, the thing she’d rally against. The defense is that you need to play their game to get anything done. Ok, but if she’s playing their game, she’s already lost.
Yeet.
Pffft, big whoop, he’ll go back to being CEO of Goldman-Sachs and owner of the Denver Broncos, this is barely a speedbump.
He’s also an angel investor with the resurgence campaign of Glamour Shots
And the newest premier star of Jersey Boys, as Frankie.
With all that, he’ll barely have time to be Pope.
Let alone his adventures on Mars
George Santos of Barsoom
He’s one of the founding members of the Beatles, he’ll be ok
including stealing money from his campaign, deceiving donors about how contributions would be used
I bet this was the real reason he was expelled. Congressmen rely on donations for their grift, and their donors were no doubt asking if they supported his practice.
Exactly. It’s like Bernie Madoff. Bernie was doing the same thing as everyone else in 2008, but his clients were all rich folks. He went to jail. The hilarious thing is that Donald Trump was interviewed about Bernie and even Donnie had to admit that it was mostly victimless, because everyone Madoff had stolen from could afford the loses.
Bernie is an interesting case. As part of his guilty plea, he admitted that from around 1990 onward, basically every transaction in his company was fraudulent. The actual start was probably at the beginning of his company in the '70s.
What makes that interesting is that his clients weren’t just rich, but experienced. They knew how to smell out a con. He was able to keep his claims just plausible enough that they didn’t notice for decades.
A lot of Ponzi schemes will claim 300% or 5000% percent returns in a year. Experienced investors know that’s bullshit; maybe you can get lucky in one or two trades, but it’s never sustainable. The SP500 will tend to give you returns of 8% or so in the long run (with plenty of year to year variation), and it’s hard to beat that while accounting for transaction costs. Bernie was claiming 15-20%, which is good, but not crazy.
imho, they all knew it was a scam, but they all figured that they were the insiders and only the rubes were getting fleeced.

CITATION NEEDED
Lots of companies were using legal but sketchy as hell financial instruments and over inflating safety on investments where lots of people lost lots of money. Bernie was different. He was creating fraudulent statements saying you had money in your account with him for years and only paying out with what other new investors put in; classic Ponzi scheme.
What other large Ponzi schemes at the time are you saying were occurring?

You’re kidding, right?

Of course, these weren’t schemes or a rip off because it was ‘legal.’
Yes. That’s a fundamentally different situation than a ponzi scheme
Of course, these weren’t schemes or a rip off because it was ‘legal.’
Now you’ve got it. One was unethical but legal (most of the housing crisis), Madoff was breaking established written law. Only Madoff was the Ponzi scheme.
You should learn to recognize sarcasm.
I could have done that and called into question your naive understanding of financial transactions. However, I wanted to keep from insulting you, but it looks like you’ve removed that opportunity.
You funny.
Hell, he literally stole money from another Republican Congressman and his wife.
You almost have to respect it.
For how blatant his lies and fabrications were, and how brazenly he stole and misued money, I’m honestly impressed that he got into office in the first place (who tf was running his opponent’s campaign?). Surviving 11 months after that was just standard “Republicans refusing to hold each other accountable” behavior. But man, gotta admit the guy pulled off a pretty decent con.
The GOP wants blackmail and leverage options, and only when they have the power.
Santos’s lies were pretty clear, blatant, and he was grifting his own party. Useless as an asset, and detrimental to his own people.
I’m honestly impressed that he got into office in the first place (who tf was running his opponent’s campaign?).
His opponent repeatedly tried to blow the whistle at what was going on with Santos’ campaign, but was all but ignored by the media who considered it a low-level race not worth covering. I think it took about a month after the election before the media started to actually give a damn.
He is from a safe very red district so the craziest person wins the primary and then basically gets in free after that.
It’s a blue district, though only D+2 (meaning it tends to be 2 points more towards Dems than the national average). It did vote for Bush in 2004, but is otherwise straight blue for President since 1992. Most recently went for Biden by +10 points.
Republicans have historically held that seat with very large majorities. Over 70% during Bush and Obama presidencies. Trump was enough to drag it down but then as soon as he was off the ballot it’s back to crazy land Republicans. I might be wrong but to me that says deep red.
I don’t even think that deceiving donors was the line. I think it was exactly what he bought. OnlyFans? Scandalous. Botox for a man? Shameful. If he’d bought guns and an F350, or just Venmo’d a high school student, he’d still a congressman.
Friendly reminder that OnlyFans talking about banning porn on their platform was just a cover to distract from the news story about them allowing users hosting child porn, prostitution and other illegal material to get away with warnings, so long as their accounts were profitable.
While the child porn and other things is pretty bad, why include prostitution?
Because it’s illegal to solicit prostitution in most countries. The other common illegal content was scat. That was the point of the exposé, to highlight that they were allowing illegal users making illegal content on their platform to get away with warnings - I mean, how can you merely warn someone who is underage that they should stop posting underage content?!
Fair enough, though it does still seem a bit odd to list prostitution in particular. Whats the joke? If you fuck while recording it it aint prostitution.
Shame on you for not laundering the money through a book deal!
In the entire history of the US, there have only been five ever expelled from the US House of Representatives. Three of those five that were expelled because of that whole Civil War thing.
Today, we’ve added a sixth name to that list. George Santos.
And don’t forget the guy has in front of him a very long list of Federal indictments that include hits like conspiracy against the United States, wire fraud, credit card fraud, and money laundering all of those being really big no-nos. Dude has absolutely not been having the greatest last eleven months of his life and boy oh boy we’re JUST getting started on the downhill for him.
Like it’s a surprisingly very LONG list of crimes he’s facing, like WTF dude did you just spend the last eleven months going, “Okay I’ve had my morning coffee, time to crime!” And then investigators found more crime after he was indicted and was like “Oh no we’ve got to put all that other crime on pause because … I mean JUST LOOK AT THIS SHIT!!” and filed a superseding indictment. Like shit was so bad, US Prosecutors were like “all his previous crimes, we’ve got to put that shit on pause. This new shit, it’s GOT to take priority.” There’s no way you violate that much of the law just by happy chance.
I don’t know where we’ll all be at in five years from now, but I DO know that each day from now onward, for George Santos it can only get worse for him. Like today, today is the worse day in George Santos’ life. And tomorrow, tomorrow will be the worse day in George Santos’ life. And that pattern will continue for a good amount of time going forward.
The resume fabrications are way more hilarious than the actual crimes though.
Turns out, the whole “can’t arrest me for criming as long I commit new crimes for you to investigate” only works for a certain fat, orange, drowned-muskrat-wearing Floridiot.
Now im imaging Trump wearing the rotting corpse of Musk on his head like Heracles wearing the skin of the Nemian lion. But instead of being noble and a sign of power its just slowly decaying rich fuck wearing a rapidly decomposing rich fuck.
Do you guys think he is going to get a job with a lobbyist group before or after he serves time in federal prison?
I don’t think so. I think he’s too toxic for even the worst of the GOP, especially since he’s admitted to being a serial liar. He has no credibility even within the party for him to be considered valuable to lobbyists.
So you’re saying he’ll be Trump’s VP pick?
Well, this is George Santos we’re talking about here. I mean, the man just received the votes of over 300 of his colleagues to leave Congress and become Trump’s VP pick. It has already led to Trump skyrocketing in the polls by 1462% among the fictional henchmen of the Marvel, DC, and Looney Tunes universes, and 3789% among incels who live in their mom’s basement and can’t even dress themselves.
Former Congresscritters are only useful to lobbyists because they still have influence in Congress. Who the fuck listens to former Representative George Santos?
Guess they didn’t miss

I appreciate you! ♥️💜💙
Thanks!
Any time. They’re really easy to scrape from social media.
Oh damn, that’s genius! Any specific tips on where/how to find them?
So long, screwy! See you in Saint Louie!
311 to 114… And they only needed 290 to bounce him. +21 more than necessary!
Apparently we CAN work together!
