Oh, come now Doug. Have you forgotten the golden rule which they live by? Rules for thee but not for me.

They are not āliberalsā or āprogressivesā. They are Authoritarian Revolutionaries, the very kind who took over Cuba and now rule over the people with an iron fist.
the new york times has a few more lies from him today
his website claims
Georgeās work ethic comes from his mother, who came from nothing, but worked her way up to be the first female executive at a major financial institution. On September 11, 2001, Georgeās mother was in her office in the South Tower. She survived the horrific events of that day, but unfortunately passed away a few years later
and yet in 2014 both him and his mother were accused of not paying rent and were sued and evicted
Just to clarify, I have never defended any Democrat guilty of such stuff.
Nor am I am Democrat.
Nor do I favor Democrat policies.
I would have no problem if ALL the people complained about leave or are removed from office.
And frankly, Santos probably is a true case of a Republican in name only.
He is not truly in it for Republican, Independents, Libertarians or Democrats. He is a pathological liar only in it for himself.
I figure a true Republican would denounce him and not want to be associated with him.
I am a registered Republican and find him revolting. I am deeply ashamed he won office as a Republican. I would hope than any and all other Republicans would be deeply ashamed as well and want no part of him.
BTW, the false claim about his grandparents being holocaust survivors is just sickening to the core. That, by itself, is enough to boot his ass to the curb.
One of the points some preachers make about the Bible, why you can trust it, is that the folks held out as heroes of the faith as well as the writers come with all the proverbial warts. That if they are gonna tell you the truth (not sugar coat) about, for example, David having Uriah killed then the other stuff written about him is probably kosher too.
This guy is the opposite and blatantly so, but those who massage their backgrounds, even if just a bit, are really no different, just maybe more prudent or getting better adviceā¦
ā¦ probably on how to get away with lying.
As for getting votes, realize that there is nothing special about finding people who will vote for you. If there was it would take our best and brightest to win elections instead of (to reference an old pet theory of mine) who has the poofiest hair or (not a theory) walked into an office answering an ad (as AOC did).
The huge advantage of a government with few defined powers is not that it will be competent but that, lacking the means to really screw up, it will tend to be functionally less competent at being incompetent (you can still bet on it being incompetent with what little it lawfully has) ā¦ where our present federal government lawlessly acting as if it has power in all circumstances whatsoever is now the most competent at being incompetent.
It is the perfect environment to nitwits on power trips to pretend to be statesmen.
There was a chance for them to do their research before the election. No Mulligans allowed. The split in the House is too close. Republicans should search for someone else in two years.
Democrats donāt care about lies or plagiarism, except when there is political gain. No one is fooled.
I never claimed to be Jewish,ā Santos said. āI am Catholic. Because I learned my maternal family had a Jewish background I said I was `Jew-ish.'ā
