Apologies, Corky, I put the Santos drama in the Nooner. I didn't realize you posted it already.

You said it, Corky. And don't drop your left after the jab.

Watch out, people. If this could happen to George Santos it could happen to anyone who commits a staggering amount of fraud.

Trump will pardon him, saying he was targeted unfairly by extremist liberals because he's a republican.

This guy is looney. And now a convicted criminal too. Hopefully prison ends up actually being rehabilitative for him. He's relatively young.

Dude was unparalleled in stretching the truth and now he's doing a stretch. Speaking of stretch, Kitara Ravache is gonna get seven years of attention.

America is strange, as there are rapists and violent criminals who get less.

I have rarely felt this glee from Schadenfreude.

Do some wonderful "time" ya bum.

Well deserved.

Hey Republicans, you built that.

Send him back to Brazil. Or better yet, send him to the El Salvadoran SuperMax. What a parasite! Do MAGAs even feel as if he was unfairly targeted?

Send Hil To El Gulago!

Remember when Trumpers on this site used to claim that Biden was weaponizing the justice department against Santos? Many of them defended this liar and fraud just like they still do with Trump.

Now that he's an actual convicted criminal, he's probably more attractive than ever to the MAGAts.

There are fascist coup leaders who get nothing.

And you're cool with it.

He's not a looney. He's a grifter who correctly identified your cult as the most gullible pile of morons to grift.

Well look on the bright side for George, he can go back to wearing makeup, lipstick and his favorite dress as he does his daily rounds in the Big Bubba Ward.

George Santos in 2020: "I get a lot of pleasure in seeing people pay for their crimes in jail."
