Being George Santos
My guess is that former Congressman George Santos is not real happy about being George Santos right about now. Brought up on federal charges of conspiracy, wire fraud and making false statements (aka lying) to the FEC, but not convicted of anything, he was nevertheless booted out of Congress today.
That’s a first.
To-date, three congressmen have been sent packing for consorting with the enemy (aka working for The Confederate States of America), and two more had their hats handed to them after they were convicted of their crimes by courts for “job-related bribery” among other things.
But they just lowered the bar for ol’ George. Santos, who, like his favorite former president, has federal indictments, but as yet has no convictions. But congressional tolerance for his flagrant acts (what the H-E-double-hockey-sticks is Only Fans, anyway) has flagged since the Ethics Committee issued their report on him.
114 of his fellow Republicans refused to throw George under the bus, including a former Fort Bend County Sheriff named Troy Nehls, who continues to not surprise me. My own current congressman, a despicable man in his own right, voted with nearly all Democrats to can his a$$. Don’t care. Still not voting for him.
I’m told that the dance card is filling up for the chance to replace him in a New York special election, including the guy who lost to him in the midterm. I was hoping for a spectrum of candidates for the NY CD-3 seat, and maybe we’ll get that.
Maybe. 
Maybe. But only if Kitara Ravache throws her banana-bearing hat into the ring.
Seems that George committed the deadly sin of relieving some high up Republicans of their money.
1I read some time ago that if a lawmaker serves three terms, they will receive their salary as an ongoing thing even if they leave office. I wonder if that kept George hanging in there when it certainly seemed he should resign. Where will he get a job? The whole world knows his resume by now. Maybe he will campaign for TFG — just two desperate and crazy guys.
2Seems only fitting that a lying scumbag would get elected as a repugnantican. What’s unusual is he was too much of a liar even for the gop house of vengeance. That he was on stage with trumpf on Jan 6 is not surprising.
3The ‘main stream media’ coverage of this lying thieving scumsucker George Santos has been another prime example of their rightward bias.
Nearly every ‘news’ segment that I saw about Santos, especially the local ones, never ever mentioned that he is a REPUBLICAN.
Had he been a Democrat, every fourth word in the coverage would be the word “Democrat” or “Democratic”.
The typical media of today, a pack of misleading, distorting, dissembling sonsabitches; doing their masters bidding.
4Well, at least he is not Sarah Palin.
5Kitara Ravache *could* take his place in Congress .
6For those who really don’t know, OnlyFans is *not* a store selling air moving and room cooling devices. It’s primarily a mechanism for individual porn actors to set up a private, subscription-only web site. So beware before you search. Although it’s possible to set up an onlyfans site teaching advanced math, I doubt that anyone has done so. BTW, I think OF is a great move, allowing the actors to collect money directly instead of feeding an entire hierarchy of directors, producers, distributors, etc.
So Santos was using “campaign contributions” to browse porn. While fancy meals, first-class air travel, and money to your cousin Earl for “consulting” might be valid for campaign expenses, it seems even Republicans balk at outright porn payments.
7Kitara Ravache, sashay away!
8Thank you for mentioning the load o’ crap congressman you left me with when you moved westward. Bless his heart, Troy Nehls looks more and more like a Dr Seuss character everyday, constantly sucking on a cigar so large that would drive Sigmund Freud to utter a string of phallic jokes about a mile and a half long.
I guess somebody had the replace the idiot vacuum created when Louie Gohmert resigned and Troy got the job.
9I rather liked Kitara Ravache. He should have stuck with that.
I’m sure you’re right about ripping off fellow Republicans being the thing that did it. Certainly none of his other cons hit them in their pocketbooks. The guy sure had a lot of nerve. I think his next move will be out of the country if he can pull it off.
10JJ, I about spewed my coffee reading your comment! Now I have that image of your load o’crap congressman and his massive cigar stuck in my head. He really is disgusting, and my heart sinks for my old friends, every time I hear or read about Mr Congressman (R-Ft Bend TX). As my dear old Dad would say, He’s a piece of work.
11My congresscritter is Chip Roy, who voted to keep Santos in office. On the plus side, Roy made that wonderful speech recently about Republicans having done absolutely nothing to benefit the country. I hope it turns up in every Democratic ad.
12OK. that’s one down. Now how about getting rid of all the Orange Ass kissers.
13I can picture a wonderful mash-up of Cool Hand Like and To Julie Newmar, Thanks for the Memories.
Cross-dressing and “screw authority.”
14Now he’s selling videos of himself ranting for $150. wonder how many suckers he’s going to find.
