Santos Claus?

 It's that time of year again, but in Washington D.C. they were singing "Do you believe in Santos Claus?" Yes, I am talking about the chubby, gay, Republican elf from New York, George Santos.

The House of Representatives voted to expel Santos from the House allegedly because of a House Ethics Committee report. For starters, how many people in Congress can even spell ethics, much less grasp and practice that concept? Congressional activities are not the ethical standards for the rest of the nation to emulate.

While Santos Claus waited to become the only the sixth Congressman to be expelled from the House, Rep. Jamaal Bowman, also of New York, announced that he would vote to expel Santos. Earlier this year, Bowman pulled a fire alarm to stop a House vote from being taken. He later pleaded guilty to a charge of setting off a fire alarm and was punished with probation and being compelled to write an apology. Why wasn't Bowman charged with "obstructing a government function" like many of the Jan. 6 protesters? There are people in prison for less than setting off a false alarm. Wait! I forgot that Bowman is one of the "chosen people", Democrats. So, in Bowman, you have someone actually convicted of a crime and he stays. Santos, who has only been indicted, gets expelled. Tell me again how this "justice" shit really works.

Santos is sent home in disgrace while a Palestinian flag, a nation that does not exist, flies in the hallway outside a representative's office. Does this explain why Pro-Palestinian protesters occupied the rotunda? Were they all arrested and charged with obstructing the government? Of course not, they aren't Republicans.

I think that Santos is a lying fraud. Having said that, I must confess that I believe Santos is in the majority in Congress. They are all liars. That's how they all manage to get re-elected every two years in the House. Wirth six-year terms, Senators are working on long term lies.

If we expel all of the liars and frauds from both Houses of Congress, it's going to be pretty lonely for those who are left. Good news for those with little seniority, there are going to be some nicer, bigger offices opening up when they start expelling the liars.

Years ago, someone suggested that we cut the tongues out of adulterers. That idea faded quickly when someone else pointed out how quiet it would be in Congress. You can use the same joke with liars.

Sen. Robert Menendez of New Jersey has been indicted on corruption charges. When will they be expelling him? They won't because he is a Democrat, and they aren't going to give up a slender majority in the Senate. Where are the pictures of Santos and gold bars? Menedez's son is a member of the House. What are the odds that he knew what his father was doing? Are they going to expel him?  They won't even consider it. 

The Democrats look so bad on this thing with Menendez that John Fetterman pointed it out the other day. You know that it is bad for the Democrats when the guy with brain damage has to point out the obvious. That is "If you expel Santos, you must expel Menendez."

If we are looking for honesty and integrity in Congress, let's investigate the stock trades made by Paul Pelosi when Nancy was Speaker of the House. I am sure that they will find that all of the big money deals were just a matter of coincidence. The hypocrisy of the Congress is breath taking. 

Santos mentioned a few names the other day of people in Congress making money in the stock market from insider knowledge. Will Congress investigate these claims or just dismiss the idea since it came from Santos Claus? If you think that Congress will investigate all of their members' finances, stop reading now and go back to watching "The View".

Bernie Sanders claims to be a socialist. Outside of politics, he has never held a real job. He didn't come from a rich family, yet he now owns three homes. Joe Biden has spent fifty years in the government, most of it in the Senate. Yet he owns three homes, one of them on the beachfront, and a classic Corvette. How did those two guys get all of that on a Senator's salary? I read somewhere that Putin only has two homes as did Hitler. 

George Santos did not get expelled for lying. He was expelled because they are afraid that he will start telling the truth about how Congress really operates and nobody in Washington wants that to happen. It's the same reason that the Democrats are trying to discredit Trump. They have to smear people to keep the truth from being believed.

If you have read this far and still think that I am crazy, this question. How many people have gone to Congress poor and left as millionaires? Or how many went as millionaires and left poor? Congress exists to sell their influence and profit from insider knowledge. 

Thanks to Santos Claus for bringing us that knowledge for Christmas.
