politics
Welcome to the discussion of US Politics!
Rules:
- Post only links to articles, Title must fairly describe link contents. If your title differs from the site’s, it should only be to add context or be more descriptive. Do not post entire articles in the body or in the comments.
Links must be to the original source, not an aggregator like Google Amp, MSN, or Yahoo.
Example:
- Articles must be relevant to politics. Links must be to quality and original content. Articles should be worth reading. Clickbait, stub articles, and rehosted or stolen content are not allowed. Check your source for Reliability and Bias here.
- Be civil, No violations of TOS. It’s OK to say the subject of an article is behaving like a (pejorative, pejorative). It’s NOT OK to say another USER is (pejorative). Strong language is fine, just not directed at other members. Engage in good-faith and with respect! This includes accusing another user of being a bot or paid actor. Trolling is uncivil and is grounds for removal and/or a community ban.
- No memes, trolling, or low-effort comments. Reposts, misinformation, off-topic, trolling, or offensive. Similarly, if you see posts along these lines, do not engage. Report them, block them, and live a happier life than they do. We see too many slapfights that boil down to "Mom! He's bugging me!" and "I'm not touching you!" Going forward, slapfights will result in removed comments and temp bans to cool off.
- Vote based on comment quality, not agreement. This community aims to foster discussion; please reward people for putting effort into articulating their viewpoint, even if you disagree with it.
- No hate speech, slurs, celebrating death, advocating violence, or abusive language. This will result in a ban. Usernames containing racist, or inappropriate slurs will be banned without warning
We ask that the users report any comment or post that violate the rules, to use critical thinking when reading, posting or commenting. Users that post off-topic spam, advocate violence, have multiple comments or posts removed, weaponize reports or violate the code of conduct will be banned.
All posts and comments will be reviewed on a case-by-case basis. This means that some content that violates the rules may be allowed, while other content that does not violate the rules may be removed. The moderators retain the right to remove any content and ban users.
That's all the rules!

G’hyuk!
wow that only took half a year. good thing he still got to sit there and vote and get paid in the meantime
Longer than that. His antics were public knowledge about a minute after he took the oath.
His antics were public knowledge weeks before he took office. It was just impossible trying to get someone to actually give a damn at the time.
There was a phrase back in Jim Crow days; a 'yellow dog' Democrat was a Party stalwart who'd vote for a yellow dog if they had a 'D' next to their name. The Party has changed but the dogs haven't
Thank fuck, I won’t have to see that shitpile and his sweaters in the news.
Good riddance
So long, screwy! See you in Saint Louie!
He was cool until he stole from other R's.
Bye bozo
Do you guys think he is going to get a job with a lobbyist group before or after he serves time in federal prison?
Former Congresscritters are only useful to lobbyists because they still have influence in Congress. Who the fuck listens to former Representative George Santos?
Fuck that big fat liar.
So dumb question, what happens if his district sends him back and he doesn't resign, do they just not get representation?
Expelling is all good for George Santos, but what if they wanted to expel someone for racist or homophobic reasons. This feels like it could be abused.
2/3 of the House has to vote for expelling so it is likely difficult to actually abuse this since 2/3 is not all one party
