Embattled US Rep George Santos won't run for reelection after damning ethics report
U.S. House Representative George Santos said he will not run for reelection after a damning House Ethics Committee report referred "additional uncharged and unlawful conduct" by him to the Justice Department on Thursday.
nicetriangleHe knows he has no fuckin chance to win reelection outside of a total republican nutjob district and he's in Long Island. Him winning in the first place was considered somewhat of an upset.
Nah, he’s emboldening the grifters and trolls
Weird to do that now. Or rather, weird he’s both fighting back via tweet calling the ethics report biased, and sort of accepting it by not running for reelection.
“It’s not fair, but I’ll go quietly if you don’t beat me up (prosecute) any worse.”
Ah, so he’s definitely running for reelection
In other words, he is now qualified to be a cabinet member in the next Republican administration.
Cabinet member?! I heard he was already the president of the united states.
Not yet, but he was President of the US Virgin Islands…
Actually, he was. He was our 13th, 24th, -8th, and 55th president. He actually founded the country when he got elected governor in all of the 13 colonies at the same time, and just said it would be to just form a new country. He then allowed George Washington to become the real 1st President even after Santos won 137% of the vote, opting to found the Space Force in 1777, knowing how important it will be to our military strategy 250 years later.
He even dressed like the joker for the occasion.
Wish we could normalize fun colors. Everyone wearing navy and charcoal is a mite boring.
True true.

Staying neutral in order to not offend, excite or wake anyone afaik
Check out the Articles of Interest podcast episode about suits. Whole history on why men’s dress clothing is so muted.
teftThe repugs still won’t discipline him. Bet me.
YoBuckStopsHereThey will just let him finish his term.
But they will honor him.
They’ve already said they won’t. And now that Santos has announced that he won’t seek reelection, they can criticize him and be as outraged as they want, since it won’t hurt their chances (however slim) of holding onto his seat. So they’ll act shocked and condemn his alleged misconduct, and try to give the appearance that they’ve done something so that they can distance themselves from him. And then they’ll continue to work with him and rely on him to vote alongside the rest of the party.
Politicians and ethics have always gone together like vampires and holy water. But at this point I think it’s pretty clear that there is no ethical violation so serious that the remaining Republicans would be willing to give up even the slightest political advantage to see it properly dealt with.
his alleged misconduct
Alleged in the same way as the Pacific Ocean Is allegedly rather large
31 Dems voted against it.
Pretty sure they were waiting for the results of the ethics investigation.
Sure, just like they waited on the results for Franken.
This is a terrible comparison. Franken stepped down after pressure from his peers. Santos has failed to do that.
You’re actually right. I guess I was confused.
Is it just me, or does every picture of this turd burglar look like his teeth have been photoshopped out?
I suspect he has lip filler and it means his lips sort of shadow his teeth. His whole face looks like it’s made of playdough to me, though, so I’ll be really curious what he looks like after a while in jail.
The campaign funds were used to pay for Only fans and Botox, among other things, so it’s almost a safe bet
He’s actually a catfish in a suit.
Santos easily survived a vote earlier this month to expel him from the House as most Republicans and 31 Democrats opted to withhold punishment while both his criminal trial and the House Ethics Committee investigation continued.
The Democrats who voted against expelling were rationally defending due process.
If Jeff Jackson (NC) votes for something, it’s generally sound logic.
Oh okay.
killeronthecornerThe taste of boot leather isn’t for me, but you do you
What are you talking about?
You being a bootlicker? Honestly, I didn’t think it was that subtle
I mean, I don’t agree with the poster, but sometimes it’s pointless to argue.
No shit
In a just world, this clown would just get run over by a dump truck already.
So… there’s going to be consequences then, right?
How cute…
Riiighhht…
samus12345“And what will be done about it?”
“Substantially nothing.”
Guys I went outside and found out the sky was blue. You’re all very welcome and I don’t mind sharing the findings of my research.
SpezCanLigmaBallsWere they any white things called clouds?
Aren’t those sky cum spatters?
Alternative headline:
“Washington DC ethics panel reluctantly admits obvious reality, sun rises in East.”
Put him. The fuck. In jail.
At this point, the GOP, the DOJ, and the NYAG are complicit in his criminal behavior.
They never will
Then our institutions have failed. We need to hold the current ones responsible and add new systems.
You aren’t wrong
Who’d have thought a nobel laureate for world peace and literature would be capable of such crimes
Whoever was on the other end of that $50,000 he spent at OnlyFans
I’m shocked that the first black woman to walk on the moon is being treated this way.
Look at everything that Future Former Representative Santos is accused of, and all the evidence of incredible criminality that has been amassed so far and ask yourself something: if he were a regular jackoff like you and me do you think they’d be saying things like “innocent until proven guilty” and “due process” or do you think they’d be saying things like “substantial flight risk”, “risk to the community” and “bail denied”?
Konala KoalaYeah, George Santos should have his bail denied after being locked up on the grounds of being a substantial flight back to Moscow, Russia risk.
Equal protection is a lie
