George Santos

Well, it was just a matter of time before a character like Santos showed up on the Republican scene.
Tilt. Donald Trump showed up on the Republican scene years ago now. Santos is just another Trump with a bit more fun in his lies.
 
so the previous treasurer refiled, unticking certain boxes (to protect herself, legally... treasurers are obliged not to lie on gov't filings), then team santos says they hired a new, well-known treasurer who—in turn—says 'nuh-huh, i turned the job down'. So if team santos doesn't even have a treasurer, that's against the rules, too!

"Chaos followed a blitz of amended Federal Election Commission filings on Tuesday, which among other things included changes in the source of what the campaign had previously listed as loans taken out of Santos’ 'personal funds,'" said the report. "And as federal investigators reportedly probe the Santos campaign’s books, the revelations could carry profound implications for Santos’ 'self-funded' campaign political run."

"Later that day ... the campaign appeared to change the 'fiduciaries' that it had hired. And yet, that change was in turn contradicted by the new treasurer, who apparently never agreed to the new job," wrote Sollenberger. "That kerfuffle took place after the FEC posted new statements of organization filed by Santos’ five federal political committees, including his campaign, claiming their treasurer, Nancy Marks, had handed the books over to another accountant popular among Republican officials, Thomas Datwyler. But Datwyler’s attorney, Derek Ross, told The Daily Beast those filings were inaccurate, saying Datwyler had rejected the Santos campaign’s offer earlier this week."

the 'new' treasurer turned down the job monday. tuesday's filing used his signature. whoops.

On Tuesday Santos filed an updated campaign finance report with the Federal Election Commission, in which Thomas Datwyler, an experienced campaign financial consultant, was listed as his new treasurer, with the filing signed with his name.
Adav Noti, senior vice-president at the nonprofit Campaign Legal Center (CDC), which pushes for campaign finance laws to be enforced, told ABC News it would be illegal for Santos' campaign to have used Datwyler's signature without his permission.

He said: "It's completely illegal to sign somebody else's name on a federal filing without their consent. That is a big, big no-no."

Well, it was just a matter of time before a character like Santos showed up on the Republican scene. After all, lies and denial of reality have become the main planks in the GOP platform.

And, because the GOP refuses to force him out of Congress, someone new will emerge in that Party who will outdo even Santos in lying and putting the nation into a deeper credibility deficit.
Trump of course.

But yeah, guys like that used to get bogged down at the city council level.
 
you've forgotten trump so soon?
Hey, what can I say, the GOP is still engaged in a furious race to the bottom. I mean, this latest guy was posturing as a familial victim of the Holocaust. Trump was standing on the sidelines saying, "Day-um!!! This guy is leaving my pathological lying in the dust!"

The GOP has apparently not reached their bottom yet.
 

Santos posted offensive remark about the Holocaust and made jokes about Jewish stereotypes, according to new report

He'd always say that it was okay for him to make those jokes because he was Jewish,' Santos' former roommate said.

He does have twelve grammies, you know--half of them were awarded before he won American Idol in season one.
 
when confronted by Manu Raju over the treasurer, santos inexplicably decided to call Raju out as being a dishonest reporter:

Raju did not take kindly to having his honesty questioned by Santos and he proceeded to ask Santos about some of the multitude of falsehoods he's told to his own voters.

"Why did you lie about being on a volleyball team?" Raju asked, referring to Santos' infamous claim that he was a star volleyball player at a college he never attended.
but did he wear drag and was he on the girls, boys or mixed team?

JESUS CHRIST!!
ENOUGH!!

The Dems didn't even have to really ASK Senator Al Franken to get the fuck out of the Senate.
OR, if they did, he left with humility for WHAT?????????????????
He did not lay a HAND on the woman who complained YEARS after the fact about a picture and "overly exuberant stage kisses" Go look at all the Benny Hill did on his show if you want to see the same sort of "HUMOR"
Granted.......... misogynistic "humor"

The Trumplikan House has absolutely NO BALLS!!

And yet... what used the be the MORAL MAJORITY supports these clowns
To any actual clowns our there? I apologize for the phase.
I have to live with a phrase related to a gift the Trojans accepted from the Greeks. You'll live.


Santos is the modern day HORSE that Caligula put into the Roman Senate!
 
It will, along with the Dems and the whole nation, because we're all in the same sinking boat.
But only the Democrats are trying to either bail the boat out or steer it to safe shores. The Republicans are gleefully shooting second-amendment bullets in the hull and screaming, "There, gots me another libral."

And, no, I'm not exaggerating about that.

Sounds like more of that "both sides" bullshit.

This thread is about pathological lying elected officials who are not censured by their Party. Nobody comes close the degree of pathological lying of Trump and Santos in the Democrat Party, because they would have been thrown out of that Party long ago.
 
it's also illegal to name donors who don't exist, right?

santos has listed numerous donors who cannot be verified, from non-existent addresses to addresses with long-term residents who have never donated to ANY campaign, let alone to santos'.

at least 12 names have failed to stand up to scrutiny.

The report further stated that of the 45 or so people who contributed the maximum amount of $2,800 to the campaign, nine of those could not be contacted because no one with those names live at the addresses listed. Additionally, “None had ever contributed to a candidate before sending Santos the maximum amount allowed, according to FEC records.”

be interesting to trace these sums back to their origins... along with that other bothersome sum santos claimed to be from a personal olan to his campaign but then said wasn't

is it just me or does this bear the sticky marks of trump money?
 
from that same link, there's a vid of santos' ex-boyfriend speaking about him, how santos proposed 3 times and stole from him and his friends, and how he discovered so many lies even back then. santos is, without doubt, a persistent liar. the best one may be his own claim of 'I've led an honest life'.

to be honest, the way santos breathes lies as easily as this in order to make people believe what he wants them to reminds me of my psycho ex. You never knew if what came out of his mouth was real and what wasn't
 
Except for the Dems who still say Biden is a mentally competent president doing a great job. Unless they really believe that.
So you think that it's OK to have someone sitting on legislative committees who can't comment on the weather without everyone looking out of the window to check.

Because Biden pauses to think before he speaks, which is a terrible affliction.

Compared to Trump, and although he's slipping mentally due to age (and I've consistently said I don't think he should run again), Biden is doing great as president, yes. Presidents aren't all alone. They have support staff. Biden's not the incompetent and corrupt rotten stinker that Trump is and Biden's staff is not composed of the incompetent and corrupt rotten stinkers Trump's was. Biden's doing just fine as president in all categories and would do even better if he wasn't being opposed by rotten stinkers like you. And there's not a thing you can do about it except continue to try to lie about it. :)

Mighty low bar you are comparing to. But I guess I have higher expectations for my public servants.
