New GOP Congressman's entire resume is faked

[Red Five 40690]

Schiff has been censured and Santos has not. I think I hate this country now.

[jimmyjazz 45585]

I like that Schiff has a supreme "fuck you" attitude to it, though.

Santos IS this country now.  He is our id, the perfect representative for what this Republic has become, driven by the GQP's relentless degradation of any and all laws, rules, or norms.

Although, ironically, he's also set a haven for how LGBTQ people can be safe: you can be as gay/trans/whatever as you want, so long as you're willing to go full-crook and carry water for the GQP.  You could stand up and say "I'm super-trans, and a drag queen, and when I'm not in my office in Washington, I'm working to turn your kids super-gay!", and so long as you vote McCarthy's way....you're one of the safest people in the country.

Remember that when anyone who still votes GQP tells you they stand for "principles."  They only principle they stand for is being lying pieces of shit.

This here.

[Huckleberry 32710]

You fight this disclosure because now curious reporters and political opponents know whose finances to investigate. You know, if something isn't on the up and up. 

Why you fight it if it's innocent would be a good question.

Why would anyone's finances need to be investigated if the judge allowed his relatives to merely make themselves responsible for defendant's compliance with the terms of his release, with no property nor cash offered to secure a bond? What the fuck is the point of bond? 

[Nice Guy Eddie 13418]

Why is there a bond if the co-signers can just promise that George will show up to trial?

An adult cannot promise that another adult will do anything.

remember they only needed to pay a portion of the bond. they didn't pay half a million to bail him out.

Isn't it usually 10% so $50K in this instance.

Exactly. If it's on the up-and-up and it's just his parents, WGAF? Why fight the release of that information? Something else is a-foot.

[SydneyCarton 47929]

A better question is why someone who claims to be a millionaire and have multiple rental properties needs his parents to put up 50k. Oh yeah, profligate liar.

From all reports, the judge only required that they’re responsible for the bond if George doesn’t show up. They put $0 down.

I've read briefs from lawyers written in ALL CAPS as well as in that stupid cursive font.  Don't go crazy with font.  Don't even get too cute with it.  Antigua isn't so bad though.  And I don't know where the line is, but when it's crossed, we remember.

Retroactive to 2022 so he can run again in 2030. The point was that he’s not hiding out in Florida anymore so we aren’t in a position to give him back.

Even though Bolsonaro can’t run in 2026, his wife can and he said he’d support her. So he’s not exactly out of presidential politics in Brazil.

I came across a box of that paper in my mom's house a few years ago and showed my daughter.  She thought it was the coolest fucking thing in the world.

"the paper doesn't stop, and it's in a box instead of on a paper towel roll and you can tear the sides off!"

That would have excited me a lot more if she hadn't been one of the most pointless characters in the history of TV.

[YGIFS 19449]

Yeah, if you had told me that those two saucy actresses would be exploring a lesbian romance on one of my favorite shows before the season aired, I woulda been beside myself with anticipation.  Then I watched that mid-season arc and by my best estimate...it pointlessly robbed us of about 40 minutes of quality Ted Lasso programming focused elsewhere.  

And which showrunner do we have to blame for this horrible miscalculation of screentime?  You guessed it!  George Santos

[Pato del Muerto 52354]

Uh…Rosa parks was happily sitting in the back of the bus. Or at least dutifully. 
 

great analogy, George.
