In other words, he is now qualified to be a cabinet member in the next Republican administration.
Cabinet member?! I heard he was already the president of the united states.
Actually, he was. He was our 13th, 24th, -8th, and 55th president. He actually founded the country when he got elected governor in all of the 13 colonies at the same time, and just said it would be to just form a new country. He then allowed George Washington to become the real 1st President even after Santos won 137% of the vote, opting to found the Space Force in 1777, knowing how important it will be to our military strategy 250 years later.
Not yet, but he was President of the US Virgin Islands…
He even dressed like the joker for the occasion.
Wish we could normalize fun colors. Everyone wearing navy and charcoal is a mite boring.
What even is the reason behind corporate clothing lol being bland shit?
Staying neutral in order to not offend, excite or wake anyone afaik
What even is the reason behind corporate clothing lol being bland shit?
The repugs still won’t discipline him. Bet me.
They’ve already said they won’t. And now that Santos has announced that he won’t seek reelection, they can criticize him and be as outraged as they want, since it won’t hurt their chances (however slim) of holding onto his seat. So they’ll act shocked and condemn his alleged misconduct, and try to give the appearance that they’ve done something so that they can distance themselves from him. And then they’ll continue to work with him and rely on him to vote alongside the rest of the party.
Politicians and ethics have always gone together like vampires and holy water. But at this point I think it’s pretty clear that there is no ethical violation so serious that the remaining Republicans would be willing to give up even the slightest political advantage to see it properly dealt with.
his alleged misconduct
Alleged in the same way as the Pacific Ocean Is allegedly rather large
But they will honor him.
They will just let him finish his term.
31 Dems voted against it.
Pretty sure they were waiting for the results of the ethics investigation.
Sure, just like they waited on the results for Franken.
This is a terrible comparison. Franken stepped down after pressure from his peers. Santos has failed to do that.
You’re actually right. I guess I was confused.
Put him. The fuck. In jail.
At this point, the GOP, the DOJ, and the NYAG are complicit in his criminal behavior.
They never will
Look at everything that Future Former Representative Santos is accused of, and all the evidence of incredible criminality that has been amassed so far and ask yourself something: if he were a regular jackoff like you and me do you think they’d be saying things like “innocent until proven guilty” and “due process” or do you think they’d be saying things like “substantial flight risk”, “risk to the community” and “bail denied”?
Yeah, George Santos should have his bail denied after being locked up on the grounds of being a substantial flight back to Moscow, Russia risk.
Equal protection is a lie
Guys I went outside and found out the sky was blue. You’re all very welcome and I don’t mind sharing the findings of my research.
Were they any white things called clouds?
Aren’t those sky cum spatters?
Who’d have thought a nobel laureate for world peace and literature would be capable of such crimes
I’m shocked that the first black woman to walk on the moon is being treated this way.
Whoever was on the other end of that $50,000 he spent at OnlyFans
“And what will be done about it?”
“Substantially nothing.”
So… there’s going to be consequences then, right?
How cute…
Riiighhht…
On Santos’ part, he has announced he will not run for reelection
Ah, so he’s definitely running for reelection
Here’s a source in case anyone’s interested: https://www.reuters.com/world/us/us-house-panel-refers-more-unlawful-conduct-by-santos-justice-dept-statement-2023-11-16/
He knows he has no fuckin chance to win reelection outside of a total republican nutjob district and he’s in Long Island. Him winning in the first place was considered somewhat of an upset.
Nah, he’s emboldening the grifters and trolls
Weird to do that now. Or rather, weird he’s both fighting back via tweet calling the ethics report biased, and sort of accepting it by not running for reelection.
Is it just me, or does every picture of this turd burglar look like his teeth have been photoshopped out?
I suspect he has lip filler and it means his lips sort of shadow his teeth. His whole face looks like it’s made of playdough to me, though, so I’ll be really curious what he looks like after a while in jail.
The campaign funds were used to pay for Only fans and Botox, among other things, so it’s almost a safe bet
He’s actually a catfish in a suit.
In a just world, this clown would just get run over by a dump truck already.
No shit

“Washington DC ethics panel reluctantly admits obvious reality, sun rises in East.”

This is the best summary I could come up with:
WASHINGTON (AP) — The House Ethics panel said Thursday it has found “substantial evidence” of lawbreaking by Republican Rep. George Santos of New York and has referred its findings to the Justice Department.
The committee said that Santos’ conduct warrants public condemnation, is beneath the dignity of the office, and has brought severe discredit upon the House.
The ethics panel’s report also detailed Santos’ lack of cooperation with its investigation and how he “evaded” straightforward requests for information.
The congressman faces a 23-count federal indictment that alleges he stole the identities of campaign donors and then used their credit cards to make tens of thousands of dollars in unauthorized charges.
Santos, who represents parts of Queens and Long Island, is also accused of falsely reporting to the Federal Elections Commission that he had loaned his campaign $500,000 when he actually hadn’t given anything and had less than $8,000 in the bank.
The fake loan was an attempt to convince Republican Party officials that he was a serious candidate, worth their financial support, the indictment says.
