George Santos charged with defrauding campaign donors

[dudalb]

As opposed to Trump saying something and the next day asserting that he never said it?

…….

ETA
Although I think I see your point. If it were me I’d say “a wounded vet, with tears in his eyes, came to me and said ‘Sir. You may have said untrue things, but we need you in Congress to save our country. If your embellishments are what is required to overcome the blatant Unconstitutional cheating of those Democrats, then we will accept your embellishments.’”

Hey , both Santos and Trump are stupid liars. Their lies are so easily exposed.

Hey , both Santos and Trump are stupid liars. Their lies are so easily exposed.

Which means that they must be fundamentally honest.

It's the Democrats who are skilled liars (and hence fundamentally dishonest) because their lies are impossible to disprove.

Republican parents to child: "Your teacher called today and said you lied to her several times this week. Good job! Keep it up and you'll grow up to be president of these here United States of America!

 

[I Am The Scum]

Are we sure his name is even George?

 

[shemp]

Hell, can we be sure he even has a name?

 

[Brainster]

C'mon guys, he didn't say he was Jewish, he said he was Jew-ish.

Pathological liar, clearly needs help.

But also a fraud, he should step down immediately or be expelled.

His win is based on lies. Is this what the GOP wants?

 

[Hercules56]

It seems pre-election fact weighing is handled by the electorate. The jurors if his character are the voters. Why should Congress reverse?

The voters didn't know he was a fraud till after the election.

The GOP has made it clear that they only care about enriching themselves and the billionaire class.

 

[Nosi]

Can anything be done? Will the Republicans do anything?

This man will be lionized behind Donald Trump and Trafficking DeSatan as the model Republican.

 

[BobTheCoward]

Many voters knew he was a fraud

 

[arayder]

Boy's new name is "Pants on Fire".

 

[Norman Alexander]

Many voters knew he was a fraud

That's EXACTLY who they wanted in power - more known fraudsters. Just like their hero, Trump.

Apparently, Santos says he will not run for reelection after serving one term.

You believe me, don’t you?

Sadly, that argument was sincerely made in this forum by some Trumpsters.

 

[rdaneel]

I am assuming that he would need to go through some documentation process when he stands for election. Since it is an election for House Representative, it would be considered federal. Isn't there some rule about lying in federal filings?

Well, one congressman is trying to make sure there is.

Ritchie Torres introduces SANTOS Act to punish any members of Congress who lie under oath about their employment, military service or education.

BIG NEWS: I am introducing a bill to require candidates to disclose under oath their employment, educational, & military history so we can punish candidates who lie to voters about their qualifications.

It will be called the Stop Another Non-Truthful Office Seeker (SANTOS) ACT.

You believe me, don’t you?

Would you lie to us?

 

[SteveAitch]

A Santos Act? Couldn't the bundle it up with other stuff in a portmanteau Act - a sort of Santos Clause?

 

[Gulliver Foyle]

Pathological liar, clearly needs help.

Yes. Otherwise they wouldn't engage in mass citizen disenfranchisement.

Have we seen the long form of his birth certificate?
