    How about this kind of filth that he posted about the Obamas…? He gets yet another pass, right…?

    I'm going to call BS on that one because that would have been direct ammunition against him during his campaign

    I'm sure nothing like that can ever be faked on the internet especially for political purposes...

    Do you perhaps have a link to where someone reported on it or is it just something you randomly found on the internet?


    And the foreign language is not the least bit suspicious..

    The Leader's story on Santos was published in September 2022.

    A tiny paper broke the George Santos scandal, but no one paid attention
    By Sarah Ellison

    Snip:

    "misrepresenting his background to voters.

    “Interestingly, Santos shows no U.S. real property in his financial disclosure, although he has repeatedly claimed to own ‘a mansion in Oyster Bay Cove’ on Tiffany Road; and ‘a mansion in the Hamptons’ on Dune Road,” managing editor Maureen Daly wrote in the Leader. “For a man of such alleged wealth, campaign records show that Santos and his husband live in a rented apartment, in an attached rowhouse in Queens.”

    The Leader reluctantly endorsed Santos’s Democratic opponent the next month. “This newspaper would like to endorse a Republican,” it wrote, but Santos “is so bizarre, unprincipled and sketchy that we cannot. … He boasts like an insecure child — but he’s most likely just a fabulist — a fake.”

    It was the stuff national headlines are supposed to be built on: A hyperlocal outlet like the Leader does the leg work, regional papers verify and amplify the story, and before long an emerging political scandal is being broadcast coast-to-coast."

    Great post and story.

    As the story makes clear, you can directly chalk this assclown's win up to MAGA's war on the media, including local media. An impotent local media structure is a YUGE win for liars and conmen (IE MAGA)

    I had to chuckle that the newspaper publisher (R) had the balls to blame the D candidate for not running with their story to the National or Regional media... I know it's what candidates are EXPECTED to do these days, but that this one didn't shouldn't be a strike against him....

    A couple of nights ago, Faux's Latest Superstar (Tulsi) DRILLED Santos a New One...
    Tulsi in Beast Mode...
    Start watching at 3:20 and watch how Tulsi totally thrashes him over his totally ludicrous "But Biden" whataboutism...
    There may be some hope for Tulsi, after all...

    Thank you, Andy. That's the first nice thing I've seen anyone on the Left say about one of the brighter lights that Liberals had... until they disgusted Tulsi so much that she left the Democrat Party. Nevertheless, I agree with you and your liberal faction about Santos -- this deceiving, conniving clown should be thrown 'under the bus' and then the bus should go back and forth over him about six times....

    If we on the Right have to lose votes in the House because Santos won't be there, then SO FUGGING BE IT! If we Conservatives embrace a creature like Santos, how are we really any different from those we despise among America-hating Leftists...?

    The best move that Fox has made in ages...
    Fox has signed a REAL Media Superstar...
    Tulsi was MADE for that kind of No Bullshit interview...
    Awesome how she drilled Santos a new one...
    With the Signing of Tulsi, maybe there may actually be a SCINTILLA of "Fair and Balanced"...
    A Full 18 Years younger than Laura Ingraham (Laura is about to turn 60)...
    Tulsi could recalibrate the entire network...
    Tulsi is a Beast...Tulsi = Star Power...

    His first year fact check? :roflol: Biden has been lying since the Vietnam War.

    Go to 3:30 if you want to skip the number of times he has plagiarized others.



    btw, I'm good with Santos resigning.

    The never ending tales of Georgie.

    'Santos, a Suburban House and $11,000 in Campaign Payments for ‘Rent’

    "The company was called Cleaner 123, and over the course of four months, it received nearly $11,000 from the campaign of George Santos, the representative-elect from New York who appears to have invented whole swaths of his life story.

    The expenditures were listed as “apartment rental for staff” on Mr. Santos’s campaign disclosure forms and gave the address of a modest suburban house on Long Island. But one neighbor said Mr. Santos himself had been living there for months, and two others said that they had seen Mr. Santos and his husband coming and going, a possible violation of the rule prohibiting the use of campaign funds for personal expenses.

    The payments to Cleaner 123 were among a litany of unusual disbursements documented in Mr. Santos’s campaign filings that experts say could warrant further scrutiny. There are also dozens of expenses pegged at $199.99 — one cent below the threshold at which federal law requires receipts.

    The travel expenses include more than $40,000 for air travel, a number so exorbitant that it resembles the campaign filings of party leaders in Congress, as opposed to a newly elected congressman who is still introducing himself to local voters."

    When you can prove it's authenticity let me know.

    In the meantime

    Do you believe lying about such matters should disqualify someone from hold public office?
    Do you believe Santos should step down because he made false statements about his education and work history?

    And then it should also apply to Biden whom I've never call to be removed from office because of his routine lying about his education and employment.

    I say like with him it's up to those he represents.

    So do you believe Biden should resign?

    ROFLMAO of course you would, to which degree they are left or right.

    Should Biden resign for the same lies he told about his upbringing and education and even his life as an adult?

    Yes it's a matter for the voters and as we have seen Richard Blumenthal is still in the Congress isn't he.

    This is about what should happen to someone who lied about their educational background and work history to get elected.

    What do you think should happen here?

    OK then Santos should finish out his term and let the voters decide like with Biden the pathological kind of liar the Democrats support.

    Feel free to point out where I ever said Biden should resign for lying about his educational background or work history.

    Did the NYT report anything about Santos that was already known by the voters and DP political bosses before the election?
