Santos Expelled from House

[Tumblin Tumbleweed]

My, my. George Santos becomes only the sixth member in history to be expelled from the House. It would seem the latest crop of GOP lawmakers have been scraped from the bottom of the barrel, so hopefully this is some sign of reforms to come within the chamber.

He is a fraud who conned voters to seat him in Congress.

About the 10th thread on this. I guess this really excites the Dembots.

The rush to judgment exposes every Congresscritter who voted for the expulsion.

Santos is clearly a weird person. But he, so far, has only been accused of crimes. No crimes have yet been proved to have been committed by him.

So, this vote says that every member who voted to expel doesn’t give a damn about the presumption of innocence. Not just the Dims. Also about a hundred nominal Republicans.

There was no due process in this matter. You dolt.

Only 530 more to go

While I believe it is a good thing that he is out and the system works, I can't go along with your other thought. I don't believe in either party, but at least, in this case, the Repubs seem to be willing to dump their obvious dishonest members, while the Dems seem much less willing.

I am shocked that the repubs actually disciplined their own. It is telling that he has not been convicted of crimes, only indicted. The Ethics Committee did do a report, but can the repubs discipline Santos, who has a couple indictments and not discipline their 2024 frontrunner for the presidency...when he has far more indictments and of a more serious nature? Of course, they will ignore the similarities.

Gay minority voted out by a unanimous vote by Dimwingers, then they all cheered.

The House went by their rules and voted accordingly.

What a shame to hear that Mr. political America has been taken down.

Well he gets to keep getting paid and doesn't have to go to work. I doubt he is crying too much over it behind closed doors.

The House went by their rules and voted accordingly.

The rules denied the member in question due process.

Try to follow along.

That was his plan all along...another MAGA grifter that we are paying to do nothing.

Since he's the first candidate found to be running and being elected on a completely fabricated background, there's little precedence to make predictions based on party.

No, they didn't. If the Constitution is not enough for your personal triggered idea of due process, I have nothing more to tell you.

Say goodbye to Georgie boy.

I still don’t have a rat’s ass about Santos.

And the House rules are not part of the Constitution. And any House rule which denies a member of his or her presumption of innocence has gone afoul of the Constitution, itself.

You never have anything to tell anyone. Youre a void.
