Can anybody anywhere point out anything about his campaign that wasn't fraudulent? >

So far, he appears to actually be gay. Though being gay and Republican isn't exactly a ringing endorsement of his critical thinking skills. >

More importantly: He's a man who got married FIRST, then proposed to his boyfriend WHILE STILL MARRIED. 
Gay or not, straight or not: Dick move. >

I'm pretty sure the wife knew and it was a greencard marriage. Not sure what she got out of it other than lower taxes? But they were married the precise length that a greencard marriage needs to be to not cause issues. >

Then how is he not being arrested and deported since it was a fake greencard marriage? >

Because they are underfunded and understaffed and there are enough people abusing the system by much larger margins with much higher visibility that they have their hands full just prosecuting those. 
But he was married almost the exact legal minimum to get full citizenship through marriage. >

How’s there a higher visibility than him? >

By higher visibility I mean "requires less effort to prosecute". Like a woman who had five husbands in five different states who all got divorced at exactly the seven-year mark and she was married to some of them at the same time. >

By yellow I mean green >

Russia owns the GOP, pure and simple. >

Yup, That’s why trump had a private meeting with Putin while he was in office and even made his translator leave the room. >

Several times, if memory serves. He also met with Russian lobbyists during his campaign and Jr let slip it was regarding adoptions, basically confirming it was about repealing the Magnitsky act. 
Named after an activist who was tortured to death by the Putin regime, and which allows the US to seize assets of those deemed guilty of crimes against humanity. >

I'm not sure, but maybe his pal Vlad was taking a leak in Donnie's shoe while they were alone together... >

I’m pretty sure he won that money back during the Revolutionary War when he was defending our airports against the Brits. >

It was a bonus for ramming the ramparts. >

You give trump too much credit on his vocabulary.  I have no doubt in his mind those were just ram parts. >

Watch the clip.

"Our Army manned the air, it rammed the ramparts, it took over the airports," >

Nah.  The subtitles say "Ramparts" but that's nothing that suggests anything to contradict Trump's obvious cluelessness about what he's saying.  Like you said, "watch the clip" He clearly has no idea what a "rampart" is or why ramming it wouldn't be an awesome idea. >

What do you mean "nah," we agree here.  He flubbed the line because he's a moron who's bad at reading teleprompters and said "rammed the ramparts." >

ah, I misunderstood your point.  I was getting at one step further...  I don't think he actual said "ramparts"...  I don't think he knows what those are.  I think he said "ram parts" because it's about as far as he understands the idea. >

Why in the actual fuck should we believe a single thing this guys says at this point???? >

We shouldn't. >

I'm starting to wonder if this isn't some Andy Kauffman / Sacha Baron Cohen performative piece, maybe to see just how much bullshit GOP voters and politicians are willing to excuse. >

That’s my working theory, just a constant cycle of the guy slowly probing the line to see how ridiculous this can actually get.  Either this is going to be a movie at some point, or some rich fuck is financing his shenanigans so they can say “look how government doesn’t work because clowns like this win elections.” >

Trying to convince us that elections don’t work and that government leaders should instead be chosen by the elite ruling class certainly sounds in character, like something the GOP has already been doing >


government leaders should instead be chosen by the elite ruling class 

You mean how the electoral college was because they felt that the average person wouldn't be informed enough to make "proper" decisions? >

He's going to have to pay a small fine or something right? >

Yea my guess is nothing will ever happen. We need to hold these people accountable somehow, but it doesn’t seem to ever happen. >

The insurrection was two years ago. Not a single politician involved has faced any consequences. The DOJ is absolutely going to let them get away with it. >

2 years is pretty short for an investigation that big. There are plenty of evidence that they are building a case against Republicans now >

Don't worry everyone, the Republicans have zero standards beyond the magic R and not telling everyone about the drug fueled orgies so this is absolutely no problem for them. >

They'll probably add him too a couple more committies >

This is the best tl;dr I could make, original reduced by 83%. (I'm a bot)


Rep. George Santos' political operation made significant revisions to his 2022 campaign filings on Tuesday, revealing that the $500,000 "Personal" loan he gave to his campaign in March didn't in fact come from his own funds, The Daily Beast reported.
Another revised filing, submitted on Tuesday, disclosed that a separate $125,000 loan from the candidate in October to Santos' campaign is also no longer listed as coming from his personal funds.
Ever since Santos was first thrust into the media spotlight for lying about key elements of his life, there have been questions about the six-figure sum that he claimed to have loaned to his campaign.

I keep seeing people on the news who voted for him talking about how they feel betrayed and I can't help but feel like.. you voted for a republican.  You knew you were getting someone full of shit, you just didn't like the brand of shit he was filled with.  What's the logic there?
I honestly thought all he was going to do is help take reproductive rights away, continue demonize minorities, and destroy the social safety net so that we could turn this nation into some corporate-controlled thunderdome.  I had no idea he was going to lie about playing volleyball.
George Santos isn't the most ridiculous republican in Congress.  He's not even top 5.  I think the scandal is people believe he's smart enough to know the shit he's saying isn't true, and with the ones like Boebert you can't really tell. >

DOJ: It is our policy to not investigate Republican politicians if an election is less than 5 years away. >

Don't worry. The Republican party will investigate and hold themselves accountable.... right? >

This dude is gonna be discovered dead in a ditch. Russian mafia don't like bean spillers >

He will have an “accident” and fall out a window or down some stairs. >

He fell down some stairs AND out the window all in one go. >

Mystery Men (1999): 
"Yes, the police said he fell down an elevator shaft. Onto some bullets." >

You mean to tell me that someone with a 55,000 dollar salary can’t just give out 500,000 loans to their campaign?? >

There’s a few people I’d actually like to see in prison just for the sheer entertainment value.  Something like Big Brother prison with George Santos.  
Can you imagine him in prison? >

We know it wasn't his. Anyone with that kind of money around isn't stealing a few thousand from a charity intended to fund an operation on a dog.
What a piece of shit >

When and what does it take to boot this guy off the hill? >

He’s a liar fraud and a cheat >

You can save time and just say republican. >

Playing coy while people are questioning the sources of your finances is always the smart play. >

“He said he paid that money himself through his company, the Devolder Organization, which he told Semafor was in the business of "specialty consulting" for "high net worth individuals."”
Sounds like money laundering to me. >

The secret ingredient is Russia. >

Ahh, it's the old "My money is not my money" play. >

Russia >

How can you “amend” this shit. >

I heard he won that money in the World Series of Poker with a Royal Flush on the river. Beat 4 Aces! >

what is the point of requiring a person to file their financial statements if they can just "oops, redo" when they are found to have lied. >

Money could came from his Jew-ish friends in Saudi Arabia..... >

This guy has become a poster child for corrupt lying politicians, the legal double standards and showcasing that politicians once elected are completely above the law. >

I’m just waiting for him to reveal that he is actually a bunch of cats in a human suit. >

Oh the seditionist party keeps breaking the law?! Oh, no, time for some words from the democrats that end up making zero change! Seditionists remain in office they legally cannot hold while democrats somehow have lacked the power for 2 years to do anything. They all got you fooled. Enjoy the ride down I think it's probably time to ditch this landfill oh the benefits of dual citizenship! Enjoy the consequences of your apathy while the American right take you to republican dictatorship! Maybe then you might consider dropping your excuses for shooting down the ideas of everyone who calls for actual change not just talking about it you know who you are if you do this. >

Santos shouldn't just be removed from congress. He should be deported. When he applied for US residence I am quite sure he lied about his outstanding warrant from Brazil. >

Oh were you under the impression they still enforce campaign finance laws >

He did say that he laundered it through his business though, so there's that... >

Oh, look. They’re concerned. >

The longer this whole thing drags out, the worse McCarthy looks and I'm here for it. >

I'll bet that when all is said and done, most of his money came from Russian laundered donations. >

Oh come on.   I’m OWNED already.   Get the fuck rid of him. >

We can’t believe anything he says about anything. >

This all end with George Anthony going to jail and being given a new ID in the form of a number. >

Government: it's illegal to file untruthful financial disclosures.
So many people in government: it looks like you found out stuff, so I'm filing amended disclosures
Government: Cool >

Just remember until its proven in Court, The Republicans won't do anything to lose that Republican seat/vote. >

It’s interesting how the Republican instinct to never back down and go to the mat over the most trivial shit is overriding the wise decision to just cut this guy loose and throw him to the wolves. 
Republicans can never admit defeat and move on. They will absolutely fight to the edge of the cliff over this guy and no one even likes him or needs him lol. >

You'd think, that he would you know, shut the fuck up by now >

Seems I remember the number being higher a few days ago. Like 700k… >

This guy is going to prison. >

Investigate him or he needs to resign, but it’s the GOP. Corrupt members are a feature not a bug >

No worries, SCOTUS will still rule 6-3 in his favor. >

Looking forward to the Roberts opinion in United States v. Santos where the court rules that all future policy decisions will be decided by whoever shows up with the biggest dump truck full of cash. >

That’s just the holding from their Citizens United decision >

What difference does it make? Republicans, Trump in particular, has proven laws don't apply to politicians. He could come out tomorrow and say he broke every campaign finance law in existence and there would be enough red tape to tie up anything resembling an investigation for months if not years and eventually it will just be dropped because of some technicality. 
Kind of like Gaetz. >

Oh come on, he was young and he had fun at a festival 🙄
/s >

yawn nothing will ever be done about a blatantly lying corrupt politician. Welcome to America. >

Next question. Who's money was it?  Do we only get like one question a day or something?
