I particularly like this quote:
A GOP leadership aide, granted anonymity to speak bluntly, predicted: “He’s fucked.”

Welcome to the discussion of US Politics!
Rules:
- Post only links to articles, Title must fairly describe link contents. If your title differs from the site’s, it should only be to add context or be more descriptive. Do not post entire articles in the body or in the comments.
Links must be to the original source, not an aggregator like Google Amp, MSN, or Yahoo.
Example:
- Articles must be relevant to politics. Links must be to quality and original content. Articles should be worth reading. Clickbait, stub articles, and rehosted or stolen content are not allowed. Check your source for Reliability and Bias here.
- Be civil, No violations of TOS. It’s OK to say the subject of an article is behaving like a (pejorative, pejorative). It’s NOT OK to say another USER is (pejorative). Strong language is fine, just not directed at other members. Engage in good-faith and with respect! This includes accusing another user of being a bot or paid actor. Trolling is uncivil and is grounds for removal and/or a community ban.
- No memes, trolling, or low-effort comments. Reposts, misinformation, off-topic, trolling, or offensive. Similarly, if you see posts along these lines, do not engage. Report them, block them, and live a happier life than they do. We see too many slapfights that boil down to "Mom! He's bugging me!" and "I'm not touching you!" Going forward, slapfights will result in removed comments and temp bans to cool off.
- Vote based on comment quality, not agreement. This community aims to foster discussion; please reward people for putting effort into articulating their viewpoint, even if you disagree with it.
- No hate speech, slurs, celebrating death, advocating violence, or abusive language. This will result in a ban. Usernames containing racist, or inappropriate slurs will be banned without warning
We ask that the users report any comment or post that violate the rules, to use critical thinking when reading, posting or commenting. Users that post off-topic spam, advocate violence, have multiple comments or posts removed, weaponize reports or violate the code of conduct will be banned.
All posts and comments will be reviewed on a case-by-case basis. This means that some content that violates the rules may be allowed, while other content that does not violate the rules may be removed. The moderators retain the right to remove any content and ban users.
That's all the rules!

That's the type of political honesty I like.
He needs to grab some pussy fast.
He needs to start having sexual relations
because i was curious...
only five people have been expelled from the house and three of those were from the confederacy at the start of the civil war

He will be the first Republican
He will resign once the Republican votes get to 80.
Good. It took way to long for this to occur.
Technically, this isn't an impeachment vote. It's an expulsion vote. And there are no other steps or trials after this one. If 2/3 of the House votes to expel him, he's gone.
This dude is a real-life Rodger from American Dad.
From the meteoric rise fueled by zillions of lies to the epic crash to earth. The writers of that show couldn't have written a better story ark.
Unfortunately for him, he's not a fictional TV Alien and is looking at some serious time.
"The name is Reaganomics Lamborghini"
As a Rodger fan I'm going to take some offense to that entirely accurate, well analyzed, perfectly explained comparison 😂
technically real life rodger from american dad was paul lynde and paul lynde is way too good to be compared to santos :P
He looks like a henchman from Who Framed Roger Rabbit. At the end he reveals he was a toon the whole time.
We'll see but somehow I doubt enough Republicans will do the right thing.
An apt selection for the thumbnail
What's up with this dude? I feel like he's a completely different shape in every single picture I've ever seen of him.
He's like a quantom fact, there is no detail he will not lie about, to include his height, weight or ethnicity.
It's like the GOP tried to lab grow the perfect republican, but they cut all the education funding and medical grants so this is what crawled out of the fucking tube, and he escape the lab when he told security he was a republican so they let him pass.
Looks like a young Jiminy Glick here
Dumbass. It's proven that if you're gonna grift the whole country, you gotta aim for the top office in the land.
He's got the perfect "Uhhhhhhhh I dun't know!" resting face.
him being a charlatan is old news! he was in there doing government this whole time??
When they get back from Thansgiving, the order in the hopper will be recognized as privileged which will start a two day clock to a vote for expulsion.
"padded his own pockets with campaign money, falsely reported personal loans to his campaign and failed to properly file his financial disclosure forms."
Is this all the dude did, or is it like the trump shenanigans where this is all that they can get to stick, but there's probably a lot more...?
Some of the things he used campaign finance for is OF subs.
Like, if you’re gonna do it, at least use it for food and stuff- you can still use the money you save for OF…
I feel like that would be hilarious if it wasn't reality. I still kind of chuckled when I found out.
I'm kinda curious as to who he subbed to. It'd be even better if it was a knitting show, or something totally PG.
I hope the creator knows and puts it in their promo work
Hes been running scams and commiting fraud since he was in highschool.
