Chozo , to news in ‘To hell with this place!’ George Santos ousted from Congress after fabricating life story

I'm honestly surprised it happened. I fully expected Republicans to continue to embrace his fraudster ass until the end of time. It's weird to see just how far away they're willing to draw the line, though. Like, it was known from the start that he was a fraud, and they were all onboard anyway.

He fucked with the money. They couldn't care less about general fraud.

Don't go home mad.

But do go home.

Kinda crazy how much shit you can get away with before it has consequences

kent_eh ,

Still waiting for Trump to feel any consequences for the decades of fraud and other shit he has been getting away with.

He never once told the truth about anything at all. He lied to a reporter about what he had for lunch. He lied about where he got his hair done. He was incapable of even the slightest shred of honesty. He also stole from every pot he could reach into.

There’s a reason it took conservatives a year of nonstop negative, embarassing press coverage before they did anything about it. They didn’t want to oust someone just for being a conservative.

The thing that made him was stealing from donors. That is the only thing you never do.

Which is so odd to me. I get that some are trying to play the innocent until proven guilty thing. But the thing is, we know for a fact he has essentially lied about his resume and won an election based on it. Every place I worked, you could be fired if they found out you lied on an application or resume. Why should it be any different with this? So even without a conviction on the legal side of things, they all should have wanted him out based on fabricating his whole life.

JeffKerman1999 ,

Because it’s one of them. What would happen if everyone would be held accountable for what they say? They all think “I’m next”

SheeEttin ,

Isn’t that basically what Trump has been doing since day one?

JeffKerman1999 ,

Ah no, he’s deceiving his customers not impersonating them

bradorsomething ,

On NPR I hear his campaign was overcharging a fellow republican congressman’s mom’s credit card after a donation. He was hurting the wrong people.

TigrisMorte ,

Drag queen goes criminal straight conservative to skim off the top but dips too deep and gets caught. Just normal Republican stuff.

To real hell? Or made-up hell?

Next it’s Dancing With The Stars and The Masked Singer.

What a grand country we reside in…

silverbax , to news in ‘To hell with this place!’ George Santos ousted from Congress after fabricating life story

Of course when this clown shows up on Fox News, or OAN, touting his book or offering insight into government, no one watching will bother to remember that he was kicked out by his own party for wild fabrication and fraud.

someguy3 , (edited )

He’s definitely going to tell all cash in on the scathing secrets in a book for the low, low price of $24.99. Chapter 8 will shock you!

(*Written by notorious liar, publisher does not take responsibility blah blah blah.)

Esqplorer ,

A million copies will be sold to a mystery buyer and they will sit in boxes unread

someguy3 ,

The conservative PACs will have no interest in it. They normally do because it helps their candidates, but I don’t think they care about Santos

satans_crackpipe , to news in ‘To hell with this place!’ George Santos ousted from Congress after fabricating life story

You have to be a real big loser to work in Congress. Ya gotta be an even bigger loser to be kicked out.

Also, is he wearing contouring makeup in the header picture?

DreBeast ,

Never steal from thieves

Boddhisatva ,

Also, is he wearing contouring makeup in the header picture?

Probably? He’s openly gay and married. Some gay men use makeup. It’s his criminal actions that bother me, not his fashion chioces.

elbarto777 ,

Why would you be a big loser to work in Congress?

George Santos ousted from Congress after fabricating life story

No no no, the fabricated life story happened first, he was ousted from congress after a fucking year of lying.

Ranvier ,

Don’t forget multiple felonies, including committing identity theft using information from donors.

pozbo ,
@pozbo@lemmy.world avatar

I thought that was covered by the ‘R’ after his name.

CaptnNMorgan ,

But that’s what that sentence means.

“… ousted from Congress after fabricating…” The key word here is “after”

Edit: if it said he was ousted from Congress BEFORE fabricating his life story than your correction would be accurate.

triclops6 ,

Why are you being downvoted lol.

CaptnNMorgan ,

I’m not completely sure. But before I commented I was thinking it’s funny how many people up voted that comment.

pozbo ,
@pozbo@lemmy.world avatar

My point is that it took a full year of hilariously obvious lies for any corrective action. In Congress (one of the administrative bodies of the country I live in) I’d prefer for liars and dishonest conmen to be excluded from taking part in governance.

CaptnNMorgan ,

That’s every politician.

pozbo ,
@pozbo@lemmy.world avatar

You think every politician has as many blatantly obvious lies on their CV as Santos? For real?

CaptnNMorgan ,

Not as many no. But I do think most if not all are liars and the thought of removing someone for lying scares them.

pozbo ,
@pozbo@lemmy.world avatar

Of course they are, that’s the second question on the application right after ‘if an infant was on fire and you just drank a big-gulp would you piss the fire out?’.

pozbo ,
@pozbo@lemmy.world avatar

Edit reply: if he got ousted when he first told the lies, that would have been more acceptable than waiting a full year. I hope you can understand the difference.

CaptnNMorgan ,

Of course. But you were implying the headline was wrong.

pozbo ,
@pozbo@lemmy.world avatar

Nah, I was implying that the headline only told half the truth. Enjoy your semantic debate.

CaptnNMorgan ,

I mean, I guess. We can all see what you said, I was just correcting it. You’re the one who made it a debate.

Jackcooper ,

And he wasnt even listed for being the most prolific liar in a building of liars… It was so those voting to expel him could show their donators that they think misappropriating funds isn’t cool, man

Ulrich_the_Old , to news in ‘To hell with this place!’ George Santos ousted from Congress after fabricating life story

He is going to create a better congress with blackjack and hookers.

One might call it Suspended Congress

9point6 , to world in King wears tie woven with Greek flags for Sunak meeting at COP28

I didn’t think I’d ever think much of Charles as king, but he clearly loathes Sunak, and that’s winning him a few points

Well, and he also has Greek ancestry, so it’s a delicate diss without going overtly into politics.

In other news, officials in Russia are baffled by the mysterious disappearance of thousands of Russian women.
