Do Donald Trump and George Santos share DNA? They are both evil to their core in identical ways.

Santos is a thief.

I’m so old, I can remember when being arrested on a 13-count federal indictment and pleading guilty to theft in a Brazilian courtroom were enough to get you thrown out of a GOP-controlled House.
Those were the days…

Well now that he plead guilty, will McCarthy ask him to resign or does that charge not count?

Santos is learning the hard way there’s a certain skill in being a liar, a thief, and a conman and getting away with it. Fat boy makes it look easy, poor George is struggling to reach the pinnacle of grift without a supportive fan base.
@musgrove Kevin (“He’s a moron”) McCarthy will never jettison Santos. He’s as amoral as he is and only wants one more vote to put in the R column, and if it’s tainted, so what.

A mere youthful indiscretion. Besides, everyone’s a criminal in those countries down there, so of course it doesn’t mean anything.

If they had a 20 seat cushion he would have been forced to resign. This is not the case and Kevin needs his votes.

Sorry, but when I see Frist I think of the two-term R senator who defeated a Dem to get to the Senate (also a Senate Majority Leader for several years).

He also didn’t learn the most important lesson from Trump; that grifting is best done in the shadows. Enter politics, get elected, and a thousand spotlights suddenly swerve in your direction. People start asking questions about what you’re doing, and what you’ve done in the past.

He was given 30 days to pay about $2,000 in fines and $2,800 to the victim in order for his case to be dismissed.
I presume this will be paid with campaign funds by his phantom campaign treasurer, thereby committing yet another crime that will be ignored by the FEC.

For an upcoming grifter/pol there’s much to be learned from fat boy. No specifics in insulting enemies or migrants, no specifics in calling on a mob to riot, and when really pressed as to what’s next on his agenda answer with “We’ll see.”
Trump is evil to his corps.
Oh, for the day we see his corpse.

Yes, I was wondering how he was going to pay the nearly $5,000…just put it on his account, I guess

Gee, I guess that case wasn’t a “witch hunt”. That, or the Brazilians found their witch in Long Island.
