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

no problemo... the shock and awe news cycle is hard to keep up with!

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.

Staggering? LMAO the country is full of fraud. Santos just got caught.

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."

Re: #31 Speaksoftly

Seriouly. Trump's crimes are much worse than Santos's

#32 | Posted by hamburglar at 2025-04-25 07:48 PM

*Seriously. Sheesh

#33 | Posted by hamburglar at 2025-04-25 07:48 PM

He'll be pardoned before spending a second in jail.

#34 | Posted by northguy3 at 2025-04-25 09:27 PM

Trump really misses an opportunity to troll America by assisting George to his cabinet.

Santos only mistake is being too poor for Trump to care about.

#35 | Posted by ClownShack at 2025-04-25 09:29 PM

"If this could happen to George Santos it could happen to anyone who commits a staggering amount of fraud."

Unless your name is Donald Trump who invited owners of his meme cioins to dinner like dignitaries from allies (unfortunately former allies thanks to the Lunatic in Chief).

The most deportable wretch to fall into the hands of the Trumpf junta is not being deported. In 2022, the average annual cost of incarcerating a federal inmate was $42,672. That means George Santos will cost the American taxpayer approximately $298,704. So why not deport Santos like other Latinos the Trumpf junta is so eager to get rid of?
