Have we done George Santos yet?

Seems like there's a new even more bizarre discovery every day.

Stealing from a dying dog does seem to perfectly sum up the GOP though.

It really is just, utterly, bonkers. They're not even entirely sure if George Santos is actually his name.

He's basically, Kenny Senior

I’m enjoying this performance art piece by the anarchist currently disguised as George Santos.

It’s peak Republican politics for our age.

Pff - he's small potatoes (his grandmother invented potatoes in a nazi concentration camp, in Brazil)

Trump's presidency lasted 1460 days and in that time he's documented to have publicly told 30,573 lies.

He is good for comedy value.

I've long been a subscriber to the theory that Andy Kaufman faked his death  in 1984 and has been dressed up as Donald Trump ever since. I've never seen Trump and Tony Clifton in the same room

He deserves a thread of his own. Truly bizarre.

Have you ever seen Donald Trump and Jon Lovitz in the same room?

I thought you'd be lynched in America for scamming a vet out of money?

The US and UK really are mid U bend at the moment.🙁

A lot of his campaign donors appear not to exist.

https://www.motherjones.com/politics/2023/01/we-tried-to-call-the-top-donors-to-george-santos-2020-campaign-many-dont-seem-to-exist/

Was his campaign a money laundering scam gone horribly wrong?

He's also resigned from a lot of committees (according to BBC - https://www.bbc.com/news/world-us-canada-64473260) although only temporarily and to prevent his saga being a "distraction" to the 118th congress.

I wonder what you’ll find underneath if you ripped his face off?

Complete fantasist and I’m sure there’ll be more revelations; like poor M.P. s, here, seems hard to remove him from office.

Nice dig on the Jimmy Fallon show recently - regarding the President Biden’s State of the Union address to Congress. “He said people are working as bankers, real estate developers, dancers, philanthropists, Broadway producers – and that’s just George Santos!”

Buying dogs with bouncing cheques then selling them on behalf of his pet adoption charity and pocketing the proceeds rather than giving the money to the charity.

He’s a charmer, for sure. I do hope he gets incarcerated, I’ll bet he’ll be very popular…

I'd let him off jail if he were obliged to permanently revive his drag act.

That's one less deceitful opportunist in Congress.

Only in the republican party could he have when lasted this long.

Or the Tory party of course.

One less republican vote in the house against the Ukrainian aid package.

Fingers crossed it gets through.

He isn't sworn in yet, the NY3 seat is still officially vacant. The US Speaker normally leads the swearing in after the biennial elections, but I'm not sure who controls it in this case.

One report says that swearing-in could be as early as this week, but it might have to wait until the end of the month for the next recess.

In any case this is a wake-up call to Representatives that the voters won't put up with their nonsense and hopefully a "yea" vote is in the offing

Just realised that I replied to this thread on the Ukraine thread, still it's relevant...apols for the copy and paste
