    1. Am quite certain of the opposite, though.
      It’s literally a disguise. As soon as he’s home I bet he takes it off and puts on his Russian colonel uniform.

    2. He should run for the Republicans presidential nominee in 2024.
      He could have Rittenhouse as his VP.
      With those two amazing men ushering in the new Republican party ,our Country would see real leadership. πŸ€”πŸ€”πŸ₯΄πŸ₯΄πŸ˜‚πŸ˜‚

    1. Beating the left at their own game makes him Obi-Wan? Lol got it. Nancy ‘Insider Trading’ Pelosi is horrified.

    2. @Adam Binnie
      Curious-
      What is your opinion on this dude.
      Should he stay or should he go ?
      If he goes, should he be going to jail ?

    3. the people they swindle are dopes, have you ever noticed? like if it wasn’t trump or santos, it would be somebody else cut from the same imitation material.

    1. @Elmosweed Tucker would have pushed the envelope. He would have pointed out that Santos never went to Epstein Island. Santos never took FTX campaign contributions. Santos fooled his constituents by running as their ethnic candidate, with their ethnic university and occupation on the resume, with the correct geography in his heritage. Santos has shown the world that his district votes for their ethnicity first and foremost. That is what Tucker would report had George Santos been a Democrat.

    2. @BigBadJerry Rogers – Everybody else writes a book, goes on Dancing with the Stars, becomes a news ‘personality’, or something. So, I am sure he will do the same.

    1. Well he told that guy he was “in with Donald Trump”, and that was before he ran for office. Might be another one of his lies but I don’t think so. I think DT and his regime found Santos, who was just another con.man, and they helped him run for office. Someone gave him atleast 700 k. That’s big time donors.

    2. @Manda*Bean.2 you must be very bored to come on this site, watch the video and make a disparaging remark about Biden. We aren’t your people, find the trumpies.

  1. This is the guy who is going to be handling secrets and politicians do not have to disclose their donors, well done supreme court

    1. @jodie Please feel free to back up your comment that the diary has been ruled authentic.
      I would really like to see that one.
      Saying that was the reason for a raid is again just accusations with no evidence.
      Not that I would not believe you- I just like evidence to back up what I say.
      You would not understand.
      Thanks-

    2. @jodie Curious if she has verified she wrote that in her diary.
      The little girl that accused Trump of tying her down and raping her has verified her story.

    3. @Elmosweed Can you not read? At least four maybe five replies ago, I asked you to plz go away. Now go away, groomer.

    4. @jodie ​ @jodie πŸ˜‚πŸ˜‚πŸ˜‚πŸ˜‚ Please quote when you : ” I asked you to plz go away ”

      When you support a sexual Predator, calling others groomers just kind of has no air behind it.

  2. LOL…his treasurer just quit and he named another treasurer who says he didn’t agree to take the job! πŸ˜‚

    1. My kids’ school has invited George Santos to come dressed as a Drag Queen and read their class a book. The book Santos will read is Mein Kampf. How Woke is that?

    3. Santos is a pathological liar and just because he somehow got a seat in congress does not mean he will stop, he can’t stop. There will be more and more, Santos is the gift that keeps on giving. He is dangerous.

    1. Democrats…you left out the word Democrats after parents.

      Republicans teach their kids to follow a creep accused of child molestation, more than one rape, sexual complaints by over 23 women, who is on tape saying he would date his own 16 year old daughter if for not being her father.
      They then must teach their daughters that he has the right to just walk up and grab them by the crotch.
      They must tell them black people have never been treated poorly and that if they are gay- Hell is going to take them.
      Must be strange breakfast conversations around republicans homes.

    2. Unfortunately, too many parents in red states believe that if you’re “smart” enough to swindle someone out of their money you’ve earned it and should be admired. And they pass these distorted values on to their children.

    3. @Michelle Β  JESUS WAS A COMMUNIST
      “Now the multitude of those who believed were of one heart and one soul; neither did anyone say that any of the things he possessed was his own, but they had all things in common. And with great power the apostles gave witness to the resurrection of the Lord Jesus. And great grace was upon them all. Nor was there anyone among them who lacked; for all who were possessors of lands or houses sold them, and brought the proceeds of the things that were sold, and laid them at the apostles’ feet; and they distributed to each as anyone had need.” (the Acts 4: 32–35)

    4. @termsofusepolice Exactly- A perfect example of a honored Republican would be someone who overcharge for life saving medicines by over 400%.
      They deserve to be rich if they are the only one that can save their lives.
      Republicans logic would be:
      If the elderly and sick being forced on the streets to pay for it do not want it- nobody is forcing them to buy it.

  3. Maybe this is how he was able to loan himself $750,000 or whatever the amount was…Maybe he was able to bilk a few unsuspecting β€œinvestors”. If so, he’s definitely going to prison for campaign finance fraud, along with about fifty other charges!

    1. @LightHouse it’s very likely because this is sketchy and he left a whole bunch of evidence like an amateur

    2. Did Trump go to prison for breaking the law, several times. Nope
      The 4 senators who did insider trading, did they go to prison, Nope
      George Santos is a republican and nothing will happen to him, just like the 4 senators who sold stocks shortly after a January briefing in the Senate on the novel coronavirus outbreak, unloading shares that plummeted in value a month later as the stock market crashed in the face of a global pandemic

    3. @Earl Vaughan-Williams

      Sketchy doesn’t mean anything to Republican politicians
      They do sketchy stuff all the time and get away with it.
      Republicans don’t care.
      Like the 4 senators who did insider trading before the pandemic started nothing happen to them
      Senators Loeffler, James Inhofe and Richard Burr they sold hundreds thousands of dollars in stocks within briefing on Jan. 24 with Trump administration officials on the threat of the coronavirus outbreak.

      Trump caused a insurrection and wanted his followers to hang Pence
      Nothing happen to him
      Trump and his son stole money from kids with cancer nothing happen to them.
      Trump has broken the law several times and he is still walking around a free man.

    2. Everyone on both sides would point fingers pre- Trump to blame this kind of stuff on the other party.
      Now Republicans just do it out in the open.
      It actually fires up their base.

  4. The worrying thing is he’s a criminal, and they fit him right in. That should tell you what *all* these people really are. They are all criminals, in one way or another. Maybe the viking wasn’t wrong at all?

    Edit: of course they convince you up is down, and down is up.

    2. Hopefully you and enough people vote Democrat in 24 to get rid of this terrorist party once and for all, it would be great to get a 75/25% swing in the Dems favour

  5. I think it’s hilarious that my hubby and I have to pass background checks for our jobs but congress people don’t have to pass one at all or even use their real names.

    1. Me too, I’m in real estate as a sales agent. Barely getting my license and I’ve had two background checks, a fitness determination and finger prints!

    2. @Damien Rock Star THHOLY ON OF GΒ 
      I work in nursing home and home health in charge of people’s medications the hoops I jump through are crazy.

  6. We are watching corruption in US politics and it seems to be ok…….our government hiring process and justice systems are the problem!

  7. This case should be high priority as the longer it goes on the more damage this guy can do. He’s in on our country’s top secrets.

    1. George Santos never voted for mask mandates or restaurant closures. They have to get rid of him, he is not controlled by FTX money or Epstein travel records.

  8. “This is a sitting member of Congress”…. Just close your eyes for a moment and let that sink in. This is yet another reminder why most people have a strong dislike for politics and politicians. What truly blows my mind is that an actual convict could never get a job as a CEO at some corporation but they can become….. a sitting member of Congress. What a backwards system this is.

    1. Wait a few months. You can amend your sentence to: An actual convict can become the President of the United States.

  9. Thank you, to these people for coming forward. I hope more people will follow suit, so we can pressure merrick garland to do his job.

  10. That fact that his lawyer was there and she’s recounting this on the news says a lot. It literally gets worse every day.
