George Santos Rants About Biden as He's Hit With Stunning Fraud Indictment

Central Islip, New York—The long trail of lies has finally caught up with Rep. George Santos, who was indicted on Wednesday for enriching himself by defrauding political donors, cheating the federal government to get COVID relief funds, and faking House disclosure forms.

The Justice Department unsealed a 13-count indictment Wednesday morning that detailed the variety of ways Santos used his brief political rise to dupe taxpayers and donors—an eagerly awaited law enforcement action that followed months of investigative news reports about his wide-ranging fraudster lifestyle.

Santos was taken into custody Wednesday morning and arraigned in federal court in New York that afternoon. Wearing his usual uniform of a blazer, sweater and khakis, he was brought into the eighth-floor courtroom in Central Islip by U.S. Marshals. He answered all the judge’s questions with “yes, ma’am” during the 15-minute hearing, and stared ahead without showing any emotion.

He entered a not guilty plea and was released on a $500,000 bond. One of the guarantors is Santos’ father, a court spokesperson said.

There are 4 components of NARCISSISTIC GRANDIOSITY..this is NOT confidence as one reporter chose to describe the behavior..

https://narcissisticbehavior.net/there-are-four-components-to-narcissistic-grandiosity/

1. Omnipotence..Their magical thinking is a symptom of their obsessional neurosis that they are all powerful.

2. Omniscience (having infinite knowledge): The narcissist likes to present themself as “all knowing”. In their head they are the authority, the sage, the guru. They set up their own cult following, with all their little devotees hanging on to their every word, and they are the Master.

3. Omnipresence (being everywhere simultaneously): The narcissist sets up their environment in such a way that they are at the centre of their Kingdom. Everything that happens there revolves around them, and they controls everything within it.

4 Omnivore (perfectionism and completeness): The narcissist is an omnivore. One striking behavioural characteristic of all omnivores is their opportunism. Omnivores must be prepared to switch rapidly from one supply resource that may be running out at the end of its ‘season’ to another as it becomes available. Just like Pac-Man

Sounds like someone else..this shit is effin' scary..
