According to The New York Times, “Federal and local prosecutors are investigating whether Representative-elect George Santos committed any crimes involving his finances and lies about his background on the campaign trail. The federal investigation, which is being run by the U.S. attorney’s office in Brooklyn, is focused at least in part on his financial dealings, according to a person familiar with the matter. The investigation was said to be in its early stages. In a separate inquiry, the Nassau County, N.Y., district attorney’s office said it was looking into the ‘numerous fabrications and inconsistencies associated with Congressman-elect Santos’ during his successful 2022 campaign to represent parts of Long Island and Queens.”
This is comical and all rather pointless! These investigations will take months and months — if not years — because that is how justice in America works: Swiftly for minorities and Democrats and like molasses for RepubliKKKlans. Moreover, what do people expect is going to happen in the meantime? For Santos to resign before he’s even started? No fucking chance of that. Do people expect RepubliKKKlans to force him out? Are you fucking high? Are Americans really that fucking stupid? (It’s a rhetorical question with only one obvious answer.) Will Santos be under investigation by the House Ethics Committee? Sure, without a doubt, but the worst that can come from that is a recommendation that he be expelled from the House.
Therein lies the rub, for given all of America’s rule of law(lessness) ethos, when it comes to House members, the only way they can be forcibly removed from office is to be expelled by fellow House members with a two-thirds vote. Full stop! Not through an indictment. Not through an arrest. Not through a conviction. And not even through a jail sentence upon conviction. A duly elected member of the House of Representatives can legally serve his constituents from a jail cell because that’s how fucked up America is. The Founding Fathers believed that House members could police themselves and that anyone going to jail would (naturally) be expelled — they’ve never met the modern-day RepubliKKKlan Party. The only way Santos leaves office is in two years when he loses his re-election, and that is not a certainty because he was elected in the first place, which means he can get elected again. I put no faith in the electorate to oust Santos in two years because that’s fucking two years away, and Americans are uniquely stupid enough to forget everything that’s happening now, especially if, for some incomprehensible reason, Santos proves to be an effective politician while in office. Then all bets are off. Traitor trump has taught all future RepubliKKKlans how to persevere through their corruption and how people will easily and quickly move on to other shiny objects.
One last point, I hear a few talking moron heads on MSM, including Democrats who formerly held the Congressional district Santos won, discuss how these Long Island constituents were “duped” into voting for Santos and that these political “centrist” voters will not tolerate the likes of Santos representing them. Naturally, to all that, I say bullshit. All of it is bullshit. I’m getting really, really fucking sick of the “uninformed” voter getting a pass when they clearly vote for a con man. One may rightly accuse me of a contradiction: How can I call Americans stupid yet informed enough to bear the consequences of their votes? How or why would an electorate knowingly elect a corrupt, lying politician? To do so must imply they were uninformed and stupid. This is my answer: Everything you need to know about a politician is encoded in their party affiliation. Full fucking stop! What the fuck did these people think would happen by electing a RepubliKKKlan over a Democrat? Seriously? What the fuck did they think would happen? Roses and rainbows? All you ever need to know about a politician is their party affiliation. It’s that fucking simple. Welcome to stupid America, where we like dumb, corrupt politicians, and there is no way to get rid of them for at least two years!
