But not because they are appalled by his behavior , but rather they think it will shine a negative light on the party and affect their ability to get re-elected. This week it seems Santos might be the least of their worries. The shit-show that played out in both the house and senate yesterday wasn't exactly a good look for the GOP either. So they all adjourned and went home. It's not like they actually govern anyway, or I would like what they accomplished if they did, so I'm ok with that.,
Now that Santos has said he won’t seek re-election I don’t think Repugs will vote to expel. All they care about now is having his precious vote in their slim majority.
Can you just imagine how quickly that faker would have been tarred, feathered and run out of town on a rail back in John Adams time? We have sunk to a sorry low.
Sounds like it could very well happen this time. However, wouldn't it be nice if 91 felony indictments would finally get the twisted GOP to have had enough of the treasonous tangerine turd's endless bullshit?
Oooooohhhhh...I hadn't heard that about Rudy Colludy. Deep Doody, indeed! I continue to appreciate your take on the absurd that is our state of affairs. Laughed the whole way through. Except the part about Cocaine Junior and his sick Pelosi meme. God, I hate these assholes. 🙄
Junior is a whole warehouse of shit, a WOS, if you will. He actually disgusts me more than anyone else in that cabal posing as a family. He does all that he does to seek daddy's love, and then when he doesn't get it because daddy isn't capable of it, tries to make up for it by snorting coke and trying to forget, while his fish-mouthed girlfriend encourages everything.
It's funny, scammers like Santos live in an alternate universe. It would never occur to the vast majority of us to do a single scam, but for born scammers, it's how they do every single thing every living day. How does a brain even work like that? It seems like so much more work than just being honest.
I have a scammer in the family, and it just looks exhausting. You have to remember which scam you're running on which guy, and which lies you told and who might want to beat you up so you can avoid them. So much easier to get a nice job, put your hours in and go home without a worry in the world.
Yes to wingnutville. I live in a small town where a lot of movies are shot. It’s pretty common to walk by the community hall and see the name of wherever. I can’t wait to see Wingnutville!!🤩Get on that screenplay now😄
"The men are accused of helping to spread the falsehood that Ukraine, rather than Russia, interfered in the recent US elections." This is the complete opposite of what #45 claimed. I wonder if this will somehow come back to bite Rudy Colludy in the form of some type of federal charges for colluding with Russian agents?
The media is responsible for the Myth of Trump. Shows like The Apprentice are a fiction, painting T as some kind of business genius/wizard, when the actual record points to what an inept bafoon of a “businessman” he is.
tru dat. we new yorkers always regarded Trump to be a clownish buffoon, and since I never watched his teevee show, I had no idea that he was being peddled to the rest of America as a SuCeSsFuL bUsInEsEmAn
No we as a population dropped the intelligence ball. We have forgotten how to THINK. To reflect. To really take a look. They fucking drank the koolaid and have given up having a mind of their own
I'm with you, Jeff. I'm astounded at the people who blindly follow anyone. I can also say I've never seen a president have a fan club. People follow his rallies around the country like he's Jerry Garcia! They dress up in flags and wear their stupid red hats and carry signs. The man is a tyrant, a narcissist, and most likely a sociopath. It's not like he's hiding it, yet his followers don't see or hear. Crazy!
The "good" Republicans are not good at all. They sit idly by as all this continues to happen. Then some of them just retire because "nothing can get done." All of this really is unbelievable on many levels. Mommie, make it stop.
but he seems like a small time criminal compared to his fellow Republicans trying to get rid of democracy. They haven’t even been through an ethics review! Imagine if we could expel MTG, Gaetz, Boebert, Gosar, Biggs, Johnson, et al for treason or sedition or ANYTHING! We could have a Dem majority in Congress (I’ll stop daydreaming now)
I don’t understand how Santos could get into office without a background check! These people have the ability to change our laws, how our tax dollars are spent, introduce bills, and declare wars, but we don’t know anything about them. WTF?
It seems that Santos ran a campaign in 2020 as well. He picked a plus Dem district to run and never expected to actually WIN he just wanted to support his lifestyle and continue to grift off of donors!
Looks like he will be spending his congressional salary on attorney fees. Poor baby.
pretty much in the same way that Trump's 2016 run was intended to boost ratings for his tv game show. he never expected to win. gee, that worked out well for all of us, didn't it
George, Rudy, Donny and the freak with the hammer are all poster boys for the GOP and the GOP is OK with that. And still I worry that Trump and the GOP could actually win the White House and the Senate with the help of Manchin and McConnell.
"And he sustained all of this through a constant series of lies to his constituents, donors, and staff about his background and experience."
Are we talking about George Santos, or what's-his-name? Because that perfectly describes both. Although I will say the the "constant series of liest to his constituents" fits just about any Republican you care to name.
Jeff, I'm thanking Ja every damn day for your substack. You bring such great levity to the most horrific era in our American experiment.
I’m not sure whether the resolution to expel Santos will pass or fail...and that really explains the state of our democracy.
I know, right?
I'm betting he's gone by Christmas.
Now you’re making sense. Follow the money. There’s a hot steamy pile on the other side.
I think it will this time. There are enough GOP who have finally(!!!!) had enough of his bullshit.
But not because they are appalled by his behavior , but rather they think it will shine a negative light on the party and affect their ability to get re-elected. This week it seems Santos might be the least of their worries. The shit-show that played out in both the house and senate yesterday wasn't exactly a good look for the GOP either.

Agreed -- no way they're doing it because their ethical standards have been violated. That would require actually having some.
Oooooohhhhh...I hadn't heard that about Rudy Colludy. Deep Doody, indeed! I continue to appreciate your take on the absurd that is our state of affairs. Laughed the whole way through. Except the part about Cocaine Junior and his sick Pelosi meme. God, I hate these assholes. 🙄
I would love to see how cokehead Jr would react to someone trying to beat his brainless head in with a hammer?? Fuck him the POS that he is…..
Right. These people are sick. Ugh
that would be nice to see
I volunteer. But I don't need no stinking hammer!
Will there be popcorn?
Always
You go Charlie!! I am sure you would have plenty of fellow combatants!
Junior is such a POS. That family has no class and no decency whatsoever.
Junior is a whole warehouse of shit, a WOS, if you will. He actually disgusts me more than anyone else in that cabal posing as a family. He does all that he does to seek daddy's love, and then when he doesn't get it because daddy isn't capable of it, tries to make up for it by snorting coke and trying to forget, while his fish-mouthed girlfriend encourages everything.
It would be sweet if he got handed over to the Ukrainians.
Jr needs some new underwear. The ones in the picture he posted look nasty.
It's funny, scammers like Santos live in an alternate universe. It would never occur to the vast majority of us to do a single scam, but for born scammers, it's how they do every single thing every living day. How does a brain even work like that? It seems like so much more work than just being honest.
I agree. Honesty is so freeing.
I have a scammer in the family, and it just looks exhausting. You have to remember which scam you're running on which guy, and which lies you told and who might want to beat you up so you can avoid them. So much easier to get a nice job, put your hours in and go home without a worry in the world.
The title of this post-“liars, drunks, and violet jerks: just another day in wingnutville” should be the title of the book you should be writing!!!!
Or a Broadway show
I especially loved Wingnutville. 🤣
Yes to wingnutville. I live in a small town where a lot of movies are shot. It’s pretty common to walk by the community hall and see the name of wherever. I can’t wait to see Wingnutville!!🤩Get on that screenplay now😄
Which I hope you are writing!

Please goddess.
I was thinking the same exact thing
The media would have a field day! Another 24/7 of ,how fucked up our political system is.
Our political system isn’t fucked....it’s the idiots that are in there who got there by cheating.
Boo fucking hoo to all of them. George.... botox, really? and sephora... shit dude. You've had more work done and you still have the same smutty face.
I kept waiting to see djtjr I. In his costume... smh.
At least one country acknowledges treason for what it is.
Ongoing arrests in Ukraine...
I can't be exhausted yet, there's still a fucking year + to get through. But I'm so tired ....😒
Help.
Ty. As I am for you....

Can affirm based on my NY friends who hated his guts. I’ve always loved on the west coast but most everyone I knew felt the same way.
No we as a population dropped the intelligence ball. We have forgotten how to THINK. To reflect. To really take a look. They fucking drank the koolaid and have given up having a mind of their own

It’s called birds of a feather flock together syndrome!

It’s important to be LOUD
I’ll be glad to see George Santos expelled,
but he seems like a small time criminal compared to his fellow Republicans trying to get rid of democracy. They haven’t even been through an ethics review! Imagine if we could expel MTG, Gaetz, Boebert, Gosar, Biggs, Johnson, et al for treason or sedition or ANYTHING! We could have a Dem majority in Congress (I’ll stop daydreaming now)
Not shocked at all about Santos, but I am kind of shocked that one of these turds is actually facing consequences for his actions.
I keep hoping/dreaming that there will be a critical mass of litigation, such that it all comes crumbling down.
I don’t understand how Santos could get into office without a background check! These people have the ability to change our laws, how our tax dollars are spent, introduce bills, and declare wars, but we don’t know anything about them. WTF?
It seems that Santos ran a campaign in 2020 as well. He picked a plus Dem district to run and never expected to actually WIN he just wanted to support his lifestyle and continue to grift off of donors!

The Fluke of Flukes!
“3 hots and a cot” are in Georgie’s future….
Lol
Though that'd be appropriate, we know the inverse rule regarding the bread-to-shit ratio.
I think it goes that in the universe only hydrogen and stupidity are infinite, and we're technically still speculating on the hydrogen?
Love the hydrogen!
George, Rudy, Donny and the freak with the hammer are all poster boys for the GOP and the GOP is OK with that. And still I worry that Trump and the GOP could actually win the White House and the Senate with the help of Manchin and McConnell.
A scary thought! I pray it doesn’t happen!
Prayer = nothing.
Me too.

Are we talking about George Santos, or what's-his-name? Because that perfectly describes both. Although I will say the the "constant series of liest to his constituents" fits just about any Republican you care to name.
