Dude I hate the GOP but this man is an icon.

He’s like the post modern artist that politics didn’t know it needed.

He’s truly a masterpiece.

I’d rather this guy’s antics in the news than just about any other political figure.

He could straight up be a hot dog vendor guy in NYC tomorrow, and I’d click that link.

He's the entire Republican id distilled into a human shape.

foggy ,

Like, if he knows, he’s on the order of Andy Kaufman.

That’s what the deep state, Soros and gay frogs want you to believe.

He’s basically Dibbler from the Discworld books.

Who buys stuff like that, even off non-disgraced, actual celebrities, let alone a charlatan? The same people that collect* Hitler or Gacy memorabilia?

There are some cringe worthy ones from Guiliani.

Maeve ,

I believe you, I’m just having a hard time wrapping my head around individuals who collect such things. A museum maybe, but were I a curator, I’d go for somebody of actual interest and cultural value.

I can even see how fascists would give cultural value to things owned by fascists. But this guy is just a con artist.

Think we can get him to testify if we pay him? What am I saying? He'll do anything for cash.

I’d call this humiliating, but we’re talking about a man who has no shame whatsoever. For Santos, it’s just a decent way to get money from idiots in his free time.

ipkpjersi , to news in George Santos: Expelled congressman is now selling $200 videos on Cameo

That played out exactly like I thought it would. You had Republicans saying that they were voting him to stay in the House because of his constituents etc then you had other Republicans saying that they were voting him out because he is corrupt etc.

Pretty funny he turned to this, will be entertaining to see where he ends up next.

That’s going to be a nice insurance pay out.

Reality has really fucking ruined satire for me.

You should just immediately dismiss a property when they tell you there are other offers. If enough people do this, in the long term it will make the landlords reconsider. Easier said than done, i know

Treczoks , to news in Home near Washington DC explodes as police surround armed suspect

What kind of explosion was that? Someone blowing themselves up with explosives on purpose, or explosive fumes/gases from a drug lab or something igniting?

Any idea what they were looking for with that search warrant?

Death_Equity ,

Big fireball and low velocity implies gasoline or natural gas. A drug lab is possible, but not an explosive like semtex or anfo.

My guess is they turned on the stove unlit and were hoping to take out some cops.

_number8_ , to nottheonion in YouTuber Trevor Jacob jailed after crashing plane for views

i started to read the article and thought ‘these are dumb alarmist charges, boys can’t even have hobbies anymore’, and i read this

The plane crashed into the Los Padres National Forest 35 minutes after take-off. Jacob hiked to the site and recovered the footage. He then uploaded the video entitled “I crashed my airplane” to YouTube on 23 December, which contained a promotion for a wallet company, prosecutors said.

and now i’m totally on their side

rtxn ,

It gets worse. Video is from Juan Browne, an airline pilot and reliable source of airflight news analysis.

it’s even worse.

  • he delayed the research of the site by providing wrong information (while he knew perfectly where the crashed plane was… because he walk to it to get the videos footage)
  • payed an helicopter to extract the plane scrape to a secret location (while ntsb was still looking for the crash site)
  • then destroyed the evidence, so the ntsb could not perform any checks

i could add also that he had a fire extinguisher hide in his pant (to be able to access the footage if the plane was still on fire i presume), the original motor was may be replaced before the crash, the plane door was not properly lock (to facilitate his jump)… ha and yes, he had a jumpsuit (no fitting a normal pilot activity)…

Well, all of that was badly done. He’s a piece of shit that should never flight again.

QuinceDaPence ,

And in addition to all of that. That plane was more than capable of doing an engine out landing in areas you can see in his video. But within seconds of issues he desides to pull back on the stick (to stop the prop for drama) and decides to jump out. He does no troubleshooting or looking for an appropriate landing site even though several good locations can be seen.

Even if you had to crash land, that plane can go slow enough that it's a better option than jumping out. Skydiving into the wilderness isn't a great idea.

I’m sure you mean pilot, but I agree and mean leave the ground

Saved you the click:

A YouTuber has been jailed for six months for deliberately crashing his plane for views, and then lying about it to US investigators.

Should also have all his social media deleted and be prevented from accessing social media for a few years. He clearly can’t handle it.
