U.S.A. George Santos finally expelled from the House

Article:

The House voted overwhelmingly to expel indicted Rep. George Santos on Friday, pulling the curtain down on a tempestuous term in office that was marred by revelations that he’d fabricated parts of his resume, a scathing House ethics investigation and a 23-count federal indictment charging him with crimes such as wire fraud and money laundering.

The vote was 311-114, with two voting present. Santos had already put his winter jacket on, left the chamber and sped through the speaker's lobby before the vote total was announced.

It still blows my mind that this guy got away with lying so blatantly about absolutely everything for so long. It's even more incredible how he's still acting like he's the victim, even though he's admitted to numerous lies. My personal favorite justification from him is when he said he didn't claim to be Jewish, but actually said he was Jew-ish.

Should have never been elected in the first place. Makes sense one of the few Rs from NY ends up being totally batshit insane, and they are convinced they can run NY better. Not with people like this you can't.

Obviously it's not a good look for Republicans, but did a Democrat not run against him? Why didn't this get uncovered during the campaign?

Apparently Santos tried to get somebody else expelled for pulling a fire alarm, lol.

The guy really has no shame whatsoever. I wonder what that's like.

How did a guy who confessed to committing check fraud in Brazil get voted into office?

his lips really bother me. Definitely overfilled.

I hope he goes away but probably he'll find some lobbyist or media commentator thing.

What a fun week.

Kissinger dies, Santos is expelled, a meaningless debate between DeSantis and Newsome showed that DeSantis is even more useless that previously thought.


Great stuff all around.

That'd impressive! I'm sorry I missed it.

But think of the "Back in my day" stories you can tell now!

To me the biggest underrated story about this is this is likely a seat flip in an already tight house.

Is that what it is? He just has one of those… punchable faces. I’m glad it isn’t just me being irrational. I’m not a violent dude for funsies, but, man… you can’t see him and not be annoyed.

Which is probably the only reason it took this long for it to happen. There were some dipshits out there representing “us” that thought that clown was better than someone from the other “team”.

Fetterman hired him to troll Bob Menendez. It was actually pretty funny.
