1. Then he sat beside MTG.

[lame54]

2. They have to own the libs...

Even when they are owning themselves

[BumRushDaShow]

3. He was also the only Congressman in there without a suit and tie

Even Gymsuit managed to keep his jacket on the whole time.

[Lochloosa]

9. He's going for the priest look.

[rubbersole]

16. Well, he was pope.

[BumRushDaShow]

19. I thought of him going for the Carnival Cruz

Lazy Lindsey Graham, and SPAWN of Ron Paul attire that they wore when they finally voted from the Senate cloakroom to not confirm now-SCOTUS Justice Ketanji Brown-Jackson.

[malaise]

64. Thought the same on day one

😀

[ZonkerHarris]

45. there's a yellowish tie under that sweater

[BumRushDaShow]

62. It's a Gymsuit Jordan-style "business casual" move

that was also done Wednesday. There is a difference between a suit (including a 3-piece suit) and a shirt with a sweater under a blazer with pants.

[blm]

4. Eff him

[Samrob]

5. Has he done his DNA analysis? He may be surprised.

[WA-03 Democrat]

8. Lie with the dogs

get fleas

[electric_blue68]

11. Yeah, really. He's not the white-ist looking man there...which wouldn't matter to me if he wasn't..

siding with Racists!


Always for a diverse Congress. 👍


Well, *especially except for Nazis, Authoritarians, and possibly a few other catagories.




*See Philosopher Karl Popper 👍

[tblue37]

36. He claimed at one time to be half black.

[electric_blue68]

55. Oh, yeah, right.

[C_U_L8R]

6. Gross.

Laugh it up, liar boy. You're in big trouble.

[Deuxcents]

26. Yep

[Quakerfriend]

7. He's going to go through some things.

And, it can’t happen soon enough.

It’s interesting how his demeanor and facial expressions have changed since he’s been outed for his lying-
very creepy!

[rubbersole]

10. That smug-ass expression will be wiped off your psycho face.

[Cha]

14. I CANNOT WAIT!!

[BlueIdaho]

12. I thought no one had been sworn in

Since the House lacks leadership. I’m no expert so please clue me in.

[Cha]

15. They haven't been.. the Serial LYING

ASSHOLE is still able to vote for Speaker.. along with everyone else.

[BlueIdaho]

67. What a

Jackass.

Thanks for your reply

[Igel]

73. They have no function as an organ of government.

This was clear in recent reporting.

They cannot approve payrolls.

They have no security clearances.

They are not Representatives.

But they are those elected to that body and as such somebody needs to speak for them. Swear them in. Sign off on them.

In a divided government, such as we always have (3 branches, 2 chambers in one branch) who has authority over one of the four sections? Nobody rules the House that's outside the House, and nobody should. The House doesn't bend the knee and retain any honor or dignity.

The House elects its spokesperson. Then they're good to go. Until then, nobody speaks for them to the other branches. Nobody can certify that they've been sworn in, that they've even been seated. Until the House speaks, there's nobody to speak for the House.

[BlueIdaho]

74. Thank You

That is exactly what I thought was the case.

[Genki Hikari]

75. Oh good grief

For the millionth time, the House requires members-elect to vote for the next speaker, because everyone there, including McCarthy, Hakeem Jeffries, Katie Porter or whoever are ALSO only members-elect right now. So nothing would get done if no member-elect was allowed to vote.

The Speaker has to be chosen so that he can swear in the new Congress. All 434 of them.

This Santos creep is a scumbag, but until he's somehow ousted from office, he's still a member-elect and gets his vote.

[Cha]

13. That little Shite 4 brains is NOT WHITE

You Stupid MF, sanots.

[boston bean]

17. He seems mentally unstable

I am sorry, but something is really really off with him. And to see him so blatantly giving the white power sign, seems like one of those aggrieved men who like to shoot places up.

[Jade Fox]

27. +1

[live love laugh]

29. VERY much so ✓

[Mr. Evil]

50. Going after that white-ish constituency?

[IronLionZion]

53. Practically a requirement for GOP candidates these days

see their last president for reference

[I_UndergroundPanther]

60. Hes not mentally ill

He knows what he is doing.
He is a goddamn narcissist.
Narcissists are a personality type not a mental illness and they deliberately choose to do the shit they do.

[Meadowoak]

18. How can he vote? He hasn't been sworn in yet.

[BumRushDaShow]

23. None of them are "voting" on legislation

but can vote for simple motions for Speaker and to adjourn.

[Hekate]

24. NOBODY has been sworn in yet

That’s the issue with this crazy non-selection of the Speaker. Nobody CAN be sworn in until the Speaker is officially chosen. Constitution.

And no House or constituent business can be transacted.

[Docreed2003]

21. Fuck...this...dude...whoever he really is

With his smug face and shitty taste in clothing (sorry but the sweater/coat combo just looks silly on him).

He's doing his best to cater to the worst elements in the GOP and he has this far faced ZERO consequences for being a pathological liar

[Cracklin Charlie]

25. Is he white?

What a tool.

[Collimator]

30. He's "white" enough. . .

. . . and he IS a tool, using every tool he can to accomplish the authoritarian mindset endgame.

We already know that notions of what constitutes membership in the White social class are fluid. You can read How the Irish Became White by Noel Ignatiev for insights on this concept. In terms of actual skin tone, the Irish are some of the whitest people you will find, but they were not "White" vis a vis the British social structure.

Italians and Catholics were once outsiders on the KKK's list of acceptable people. Now, they can join the ranks if they hold the "right" beliefs. Anthropologists have grouped inhabitants of the Indian subcontinents closer to Europeans than to people from Far Eastern countries and they are genetically distinct from Africans. But here in America, some identify as BIPOC and some join the Right Wing and claim the mantle of superiority.

It really is about being supposedly superior and treating people's economic status as a sign of either moral value or moral failing. If you're White and poor, it's because the "Democrats want to give everything away" and Blacks are getting an undeserved piece of the pie. If you're Black and poor, it's because you "don't want to work".

Ultimately, though, what it is really about is power and whether you see it as a responsibility or a tool for your own enrichment.

And please, someone explain to me those Jewish folks who vote Republican and stand behind a man who supported people carrying torches (they forgot the pitchforks that night, I guess) and chanting "Jews will not replace us."

Santos and his sociopathic ways give me less of a headache.

[ecstatic]

44. In Brazil? absolutely!

and, I assume, when filling out census forms etc.

[Sanity Claws]

28. That won't go over well at Rikers Island

He may be headed there soon.

[Emile]

31. What a weird sob

[GenThePerservering]

32. I have a feeling that he

will be the first one to brandish a gun in the chamber. He's unstable.

[ecstatic]

43. right?! nt

[lunatica]

33. A MAGAT godlin is born.

At the risk of sounding like one of their assholes I must say he even looks like an incel. But maybe he is just a wannabe.

[C0RI0LANUS]

34. Strange Goose

Rep Santos certainly has a clumsy way of flashing a gang or white power sign.

He has a smug expression on his face because he conned his way to a salary of $174,000 per annum (at US taxpayer expense).

George Santos anagrams to: "Strange Goose".

[Iggo]

37. But he did it in a way that made sure you know it's intentional, not accidental.

He’s trying to find refuge among The Stormtroopers Of R. And they just may use him as far as they can ride him.

But if he thinks they’re giving him a seat at the table, I gotta tell him there’s a whole ‘nother table after the last brown person leaves the room, and he ain’t invited.

[Taylor Picker]

69. Perfect anagram and perfectly apt!

[UTUSN]

35. Sicko

[betsuni]

38. Looks like he's in the middle of some kind of ritualistic dance.

Sometimes photos of people supposedly flashing those signs look more like old-fashioned okay signs or by accident, but this is obviously deliberate.

[EnergizedLib]

39. At what point

Will he claim that he’s white?

[sakabatou]

40. Each time you think he can't get any scummier, he does

[Catherine Vincent]

41. I'm sorry but this guy looks like a weirdo

[ecstatic]

42. I don't even know what to say at this point

If that's what he's doing, every news organization in the country should be reporting and demanding his resignation. And santos is a huge clown because the people he's trying to cozy up to would lynch his ass in a heartbeat.

[Iggo]

48. Can they recall him?

Actually, I can ask the Google machine…

[ecstatic]

51. Let me know what you find! lol nt

[Iggo]

71. I scanned a few articles and so far it looks like No.

Different versions of the following:

“Unlike 18 other states in the nation, there is no recall system for voters in New York State to remove an elected official. The power to remove an elected official rests solely with the Governor.”

[Bristlecone]

46. He gives off the Shkreli vibe.

He’s definitely off.

[dalton99a]

47. Scum.

Fits right in with the Trump trash

[jmbar2]

49. He's at the very bottom of the "allies" pot.

When absolutely no one else wants to be around you, the white supremacists are the last resort.

[IronLionZion]

52. They might get him in round 2

I doubt Nazis think very highly of white Latinos who pretend to be "Jew-ish" to win elections in New York. He may find he's a bit too tan for his white power buddies.

[AZLD4Candidate]

54. Look at the smug "F you" look on his face. Sociopath through and through.

[C0RI0LANUS]

56. Right out of the Basket

Senator Hillary Clinton might say George Santos is one example out of that "Basket of Deplorables" she identified years ago.

[Raine]

57. Geesh what the hell

is up with that, what a totally insane ass!!! Here's one to him🖕 along with 💩 for brains!

[ColinC]

58. That isn't even subtle.

No other way to interpret it.

[I_UndergroundPanther]

59. Gross,santos is just fucking disgusting

How in the hell did racist pigs get popular enough to get into the house. Lots of fucking narcissists voting for pigs like themselves thats how.

[BlueWaveNeverEnd]

61. jerk

[raccoon]

63. What a worthless POS he is.

[bdamomma]

66. liar

go back under your rock.

[Kid Berwyn]

68. A weak-wristed NAZI salute, too.

Like all these GZP bastards, his days are numbered.

[New Breed Leader]

70. How did our news media miss this shit stain?

How did they drop the ball on investigating this motherfucker.

[Mysterian]

72. I hope the imbeciles who voted for this clown are proud

I suppose if you're stupid enough to vote for Trump, there's really no bottom to the barrel.
