 if blumenthal lies about serving in vietnam, how is that less a consequential than santos lying about where he went to  school?
 
 if Biden lies  about getting attested with Nelson Mandela, or Hilary lies about getting shot at by a sniper, by what standard are those lies less consequential that Santos lying about where he went to school?
 
 Just clearly explain why Santos is worse.
 
 And Ive said he should be kicked out. so i’m consistent. unlike you guys.
 
 And i never said trump lies the same amount as biden or
 anyone.
 |  Looks like George Santos's $700,000 donation to his own campaign may've been laundered money from a Ponzi scheme called "Harbor City Capital," which defrauded investors, selling them fake stocks, totaling over $17 million. 
New reporting from the Washington Post reveals that Santos received payment from Harbor City as late as April 2021.
 
On April 20, 2021, the SEC filed a complaint against Harbor City accusing it of fraud.
 
On May 11, 2021, Santos formed the "Devolder Organization."
 
When Santos then ran for Congress in 2022, he claimed the Devolder Organization was his family's firm, with over $80 million in assets under management. 
 
There is no proof of any kind that the Devolder Org ever did any legitimate business.
 
Santos claimed Devolder Org paid him a $750,000 annual salary in 2021 and 2022.
 
Santos then contributed $700,000 to his own campaign.
 
He never mentioned Harbor City in any of his mandatory federal disclosure forms.
 
The investigations into Santos will reveal the truth -- but it very much appears that Santos took ill-gotten gains from the defrauded investors of Harbor City, parked them in Devolder, and then used them for his campaign. 
 
Santos is NOT in a good position, let's just say.
 
Meanwhile Junior says Democrats way over-value college degrees and credentials, which really are meaningless. 
Well maybe in red states…

				 | House Speaker Kevin McCarthy said Thursday that Rep. George Santos is a member in good standing of the Republican conference, 
 "The voters have elected George Santos," McCarthy "He is seated."
 
 McCarthy doing just what I said he and they (the party) would do
 Nothing

				 | And santos says he refuses to step down.  We need to change how we elect people.. there has to be some sort of threshold that a person is above.   Submitting tax records  is a must and they should be able to pass a civics aptitude test.  Did you guys know that it took 3 tries for Boebart (sp?) to pass her GED.  The GED is basically junior level high school knowledge.

				 | In 2019, George Santos introduced himself as Anthony Devolder, the founder of “United for Trump,” during a Q & A session at a “Walk Away LGBT” event in NYC.
 Santos said trans people could benefit from a trans conservative activist educating them.

				 | Only in a MAGA controlled congress can a guy who lied about every aspect of his personal and professional life, deceiving his constituents into voting for him and who now want him removed, be put on two committees.  Small Business and the Committee on Science, Space, and Technology, if it wasn’t so wrong on so many levels, it might be funny. His business experience involves fraud, so I guess that’s a natural fit and if he has no science experience, by the time the first reporters mic gets to him, he will have invented a vast list. |

				 | Disabled Veteran: George Santos Took $3K From Dying Dog's GoFundMeTwo New Jersey veterans say George Santos promised to raise funds for a lifesaving surgery for a service dog — then disappeared.
 
 And the GOP leadership won’t man up and even suggest he should resign
 
 They keep repeating he’s duly elected . Mantra. And ethics investigation
 which is True .
 
 But omg  take a Position  even if you don’t have the power to remove him
 
 You can believe he should resign they refuse to even do that

 |  Well, you’ve had years to investigate your oft repeated accusation. 
Just what have you and Ronan determined?

look i love dogs, if this guy did this, arrest  him.  and if there’s a mechanism to boot him out for the lies we know he told, do it.
 
but at least i can hold both sides to the same standard.  the commies here would never, ever suggest that democrat liars ( biden, blumenthal, warren)  also deserve the boot.  because lying, like everything else, is no problem when democrats do it. |
