Law George Santos to be charged

[Fluffernutter]

How does choosing his replacement work? Does the NY governor just get to pick whoever they want?

If he was a senator, yes.

But, I believe it will be decided by a special election

More proof that the Deep State is out to get every single MAGA politician !!

It will be interesting seeing what kind of precedent this will set.

Get rid of the conmen seems like a good precedent to set.

Republicans see it as "you expel us, we'll expel you."

I wonder if he would have won despite the lying and deception?

I can't believe that they expelled George Santos on the 25'th anniversary of the day that George Santos landed on the moon.

george santos is now the first jew-ish member of the house of congress to have been expelled.

they could have waited an extra day to expel george santos, because today marks the 34'th anniversary of the day that his mother died in the 9/11 attacks.

the House just set a dangerous precedent that members who lie about literally everything, commit fraud as a lifestyle, and go on lifetime crime sprees cannot serve in Congress

He's gone lmao

It's about fucking time.

 

[Andy Capp]

There's a logical reason for this, and it's the idea that if someone attemtped to assume dictatorial power they cannot charge their opposition with crimes and then use those charges to remove them from office. Yes it sucks that people like Santos and that corrupt Democrat who recently got indicted seem to think this is insulation from legal accountability, but it's not. It's more of a fail safe, Santos being expelled, charged, and ultimately convicted demonstrates that the system CAN work, albeit I'd wager his persona and sexuality make it so that Republicans were fairly lukewarm about circling the wagons for him, that and that he defrauded the donor class, not the poor.

He defrauded the poor also though, as it happens.

I meant that's not what the Republicans are upset about. I mean you dont hear any Republicans condemning Brett Favre for that.

this dude is spectacularly nuts.

He's a spectacle, all right.

Proof that the DemoKKKrat party hates gay people.

 

[Seano]

Honestly, when I heard about this story, I was like... why hasn't he been removed from power and prosecuted?

It makes no sense that it's taken this long.

Because lots of those in power fear being held to a similar standard, obviously.

 

[Seano]

He's going to call it a witch hunt, hoax, etc. just like Trump. hell of a cult.

Post as many examples as you can find of people saying this.

Depends on how much pork barrel money he was able to send back to his district.

Since he was removed from his committees months ago, I have a feeling he hasn't been sending money or projects back to his district.

Even if he ran for reelection, he wasn't going to win.
