"A recent House Ethics report found Santos "blatantly stole from his campaign" and spent donor money on things like Botox and the adult site OnlyFans"

the worst one to me is when he told a disabled, homeless, veteran he would raise funds for his sick dog to get him treatment. He raised the money on go fund me, then stole the money. The dog died.

Republican morality has really degraded into nothingness. Republicans cant claim any political points on morality, as they literally have none.

Still a hundred votes higher than the number of Democrats who would vote to expel a Democratic colleague in the same boat. Additionally it was GOP Speaker Johnson who allowed the vote to happen in the first place, even with the party's majority being as narrow as it is.

the difference is that if it were a democrat, a vote would never have happened. Because they would have resigned. The fact that he has been allowed to remain a congressman this long is a stunning indictment of the republicans. His vote in congress meant more to them than the fact that he is a grifter who lied his way into office. But since most of them are just grifters too, it isn't that surprising.

If you are just going to make up stupid shit to say, you could make it better than that...no George Soros, no Jewish space lasers, not even taking our guns, it's like you aren't even trying. 

Wait for Greyparrot, he will show you how it's done.

Democrats don't act like that because they have more brain cells than a Trumper.

You guys are so weird, praising Republicans one day then praising Democrats the next day. Just pick a master and be done with it.

A person who lacked the integrity to avoid committing obvious fraud/embezzlement in the first place would have the integrity to resign out of a troubled conscience? A dubious assumption.

I think he meant to say if the Republicans were as good at Blackmailing and Extortion as the Democrats, there would be more resignations.

He pissed off donors, that's the one and only constituency the Republicans give a shit about.

And yet Mayorkas is still in power. A man who is far more of a threat to the United States of America than fat-queer boy Santos.

I mean, in almost all cases, yes. Why do you think it is so rare for a congressman to be expelled? It isn't because they don't do bad things. It is because when they are discovered to have done bad things they usually resign. 

But in the age of trump, that has changed (for republicans). Trump committed tons of crimes, regularly abused his power, and the republican base loves him for it. So it is to be expected that others would follow in his example. Santos, in many ways, is just like trump. He just doesn't have the experience with rich people grifting that trump does.

yes. Republicans don't care if you lie to your constituents and illegally spend your campaign funds. they all do that. But if you mess with rich people who donate to republican campaigns, your ass is toast.

Democrats resign when they get caught doing bad things? Tell that to Senator Bob Menendez (D--NJ).

The day VP Harris, who controls the Democrat-majority Senate, holds a binding vote to expel Sen. Menendez, and the day half of Senate Democrats (the rough percentage of GOP reps who voted to oust Santos) vote in favor of said motion is the day that what you're saying now will have some credibility. Until then...

I'm sure that as the investigation goes on and more details come out, he will eventually do so.

Menendez, and the day half of Senate Democrats (the rough percentage of GOP reps who voted to oust Santos) vote in favor of said motion is the day that what you're saying now will have some credibility.

lol the republicans have known that he was a MASSIVE liar and a fraud basically from the moment he was elected. And still they voted against ousting him twice and allowed him to sit in congress for a year before doing something about him. And they only eventually did something about it because he was defrauding big dollar republican donors. And even then, only half of republicans voted to remove him. Half still wanted him to stay. And you think they have credibility?

Donal Trump is much fatter than Santos. And he’s a rapist. But Republicans love him. Because Republicans are a disgrace

On top of the numerous, credible accusations of sexual assault by 20 women of good character, he was convicted by a jury in a civil trial for lying about one of his crimes. Trump is a well known pathological liar. His victims are not known to be liars. As far as being fatter than Santos, you just have to believe your own eyes.

BWAAAAAHAAAAHAAAHAAAAAAA!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Civil =/= Criminal

Duh!!!!!!!!!!!!! 

Trump is a well known (sic) pathological liar.
Uh, so is EVERY single politician. What's your point!!! 

His victims are not known to be liars.
Yes, they are. 

As far as being fatter than Santos, you just have to believe your own eyes.
And this proves???

Bullshit. My point is Trump is a liar. A pathological liar.

Trump is a big, fat guy.

Yes, they are.
No, they’re not

Civil =/= Criminal
The civil trial found he lied about a crime he committed.

“Carroll gave multiple days of frank, occasionally emotional testimony, buttressed by two friends who testified that she reported the alleged attack to them soon afterward”

This is why Biden is sitting at around 40% approval. The public is sick and tired of Adhom tactics when the country is burning to the ground.
