"He knew conservatives would be the easiest marks. He was right.",
">\n\nIf I pulled a grift on Republican voters, I'd immediately flip to Democrat after winning election.\nI am reasonably confident I could continue to manipulate them even as a Democrat lmao",
">\n\nAh, the Sinema strategy.",
">\n\nNot terribly smart. Sinema might want to make money as a lobbyist after she leaves politics but she has almost no good relations with either the Democrats or GOP. Her grifter tactics are going to backfire hard",
">\n\nWhen you make more money than you can spend in a lifetime, does it matter",
">\n\nGiven her whole \"prada-socialist\" gimmick from a few years ago, I'm going to bet she has a spending problem.",
">\n\nthat article was oddly enthralling thank you",
">\n\nHaha I thought the same thing. Glad you enjoyed it",
">\n\nThe best part of this is watching the lack of integrity of his fellow republicans get exposed as they jump through hoops to keep supporting him.",
">\n\nI had the thought of \"what if that's the point of the long con\" but immediately shot that down because consistency, integrity, and appearances don't matter. Them being caught in a double standard doesn't matter.",
">\n\nCorrect. This is what the GOP is now. It's entirely filled by grifters who find some way to tap into peoples' dissatisfaction with Democrats. It has nothing to do with ideas or ideology or charisma or even anger in some cases. Mtg got in with qanon. Matt gaetz got in by having a rich dad. George Santos got in because it was a good year for Republicans in new york. And trump got in because he ran against Hillary Clinton.\nNobody cares about the results. They probably don't even care about the current trans panic. They stopped caring about the election years ago. And now they don't even care about q. \nThis is the modern republican party. And by the looks of it they overdosed on nihilism",
">\n\nI'm so exhausted living in a world with adult babies.",
">\n\nMuch prefer the diaper lovers, at least they keep to themselves.",
">\n\nHe could smell the money. It's all about the grift. Tomorrow I could start being a right wing grifter and within a year be a millionaire....\nHey, wait a minute. Excuse me...",
">\n\nMan the amount of times I have thought \"ya know if it weren't for this pesky conscience, I could be rich right now, just gotta tell the sheep what they want to hear and they will throw their money at you.\"\nBut I would feel bad about fleecing people out of their money, so I don't. Morals always getting in the way of making money...",
">\n\nIt's a problem. I couldn't live with myself.",
">\n\nRight?\nIve been tempted to start a megachurch so many times, but I would feel so horrible lying to those people to extract their money from them.",
">\n\nMaybe starting a new religion isn’t a bad thing. All religions are more like clustered philosophies and sets of rules on how to live a good life; the mythology and associated deities are secondary to that purpose\nIt wouldn’t be hard to make a new religion more ethical than Mormonism at least",
">\n\nI've had that thought, call it the Church of Autotheism, and base it around the idea we are all our own gods, in that we are responsible for our own actions, and the consequences of those actions. We are gods because we change the world every time we interact it with, no matter how minor that interaction is or how subtle the change caused is.\nThe hope being that if you make people aware of their actions and the consequences that they would choose to be good. Which is probably wishful thinking at best.",
">\n\nIt would fail as a religion\n\n\nEvery religion advocates for consequentialism. Every single one.\n\n\nThe purpose of Gods whether they be Allah, Buddha, Vishnu, Ahura Mazda, The Jade Emperor, etc. is to remind people that human beings are not Gods; that human beings are ultimately falliable and that there is a reason mankind is in a fallen state, whether it be sin, haram, desire, karma, etc. Religion doesn’t work without a direct figure of worship for this reason",
">\n\nYea I know. It doesn't come with that fear of divine or cosmic retribution that hooks people.\nCan't scare people if you whole thing is \"everything is chaos, nothing means anything, so why not try being nice to each other to make things more pleasant?\" except dressed up in theological language.",
">\n\nIsnt he wanted for some crimes back in brazil?",
">\n\nBeing an extreme right wing operative is much more profitable.",
">\n\nEspecially if you're a minority. They'll build you the biggest, most expensive pedestal you've ever seen so they can show the world \"See? We can't possibly be oppressors! Here is someone we want to oppress that agrees with us!“\nAnd when you've finally helped them accomplish their goals, you'll have the honor of being second against the wall.\nAnyway, what this guy claimed years ago and what this guy claims today simply doesn't matter. His word is worthless and trying to sort the truth from the lies is a fools errand. \nHe may not even know the answer himself.",
">\n\nRemember that even in nazi germany there were Jews agreeing, supporting, and collaborating with Hitler. Only to end up in concentration camps in the end.",
">\n\nSame reason Trump switched.\nConservatives are ripe for the taking and have zero critical thinking skills.",
">\n\nSame reason for the difference in advertisements you see in conservative media. They will buy anything. All sorts of random pills, gold scams, objective trash as seen on TV stuff, scam finance stuff, etc, etc. All of this on prime time cable. You don't see them on regular media because market research is telling advertisers that conservatives are the stupidest demographic.",
">\n\nPart of me just wants to create a non profit and milk these idiots dry and then just keep 95% of the donations for running the non profit…\nEasy money.",
">\n\n\"Ted Nugent's Fund For Repossessing Mexicans' food? Sign me the fuck up\"\nActually it's me and my bros using their money to buy all the tacos we can eat...",
">\n\nI'm so ready for this idiot to be out of the news. Can he just resign in disgrace already?",
">\n\nLol it's cute if you think politicians still resign in this day",
">\n\nDemocrats resign in disgrace. \nRepublicans just keep on doubling down to the cheers of their voters.",
">\n\nDemocrats resign over fucking nothing. \nFucking nothing makes a Republican resign.",
">\n\nI'm honestly worried Biden might resign over these documents found in his residence...",
">\n\nNot worried. The presidents daily schedule is top secret. But eventually outdated and useless info. He probably kept the schedules with his notes and didn’t think it was really an issue to people with common sense. Time will tell. Except for on Fox News.",
">\n\nSeems like he had the same \"I can make so much money grifting the idiots on the right\" idea that I've had many times.\nOnly difference is that he's actually twisted enough to go out and do it. I say I'll do it quite often, but I'm not shitty enough to go through with it.",
">\n\nI have had this thought so many times as a bilingual x missionary kid. If we ran together we could make a killing! :P",
">\n\nI was a Bible Thumper, went to Christian school.. Oh man I could tute the tune on the horn they play. Like a fucking fiddle it would be so easy.",
">\n\nChristian college here bud, join the ticket.",
">\n\nChristian high school, christian college, white with blond hair and parents are rich, and born and raised in the south. It would be sooo easy.",
">\n\nYou are invited too bud, we need a vet and we're fuckin set.",
">\n\nHell ya! Let’s put this religious trauma to use",
">\n\nI'm an old ass left coast librul and I welcome this chaos magic.",
">\n\nFantastic work, did you train a model with every George Santos picture you could find?",
">\n\nTrained w about 30 pics.",
">\n\nI'm impressed",
">\n\nCriminals recognize criminals. I’m convinced any person running with an R next to their name at this point is strictly an opportunistic grifter with zero interest in governing",
">\n\nWas this comment written in the late 1980's. Ronald Reagan...",
">\n\nThe precise moment productivity and wages set off on their separate journeys and never spoke again.",
">\n\nAww come on that money gonna trickle down any year now...",
">\n\nProof that anyone that can lie can be an elected republican",
">\n\nDude, it’s getting sad at this point.\nIt’s blatantly obvious to anyone paying attention, and I hate to say it because again it makes me sad, but conservatives are rubes. These people have progressively seen how gullible they are and now there’s a feeding frenzy. \nThey smelled blood in the water when they saw Trump’s popularity rose prior to the 2016 election and they haven’t stopped since.",
">\n\n\"If that idiot can grift so can I\"",
">\n\nImagine if we took money out of politics and politicians were only working for the betterment of the people. We wouldn't have nearly as many of these stories where a conservative person is looking down on or doing something they say they're against.\nShit, if our politicians weren't suckling the teat of the rich we would likely have healthcare, people would be fed, and this manufactured inflation that's making us all poorer would have been nipped I'm the bud back when they first thought they could pull one over on the working class. \nInstead, we just get the stick.",
">\n\nTake the excess campaign dollars out of it. Don’t allow ANY money to be donated. Let every candidate start with the same dollar amount, maybe 5-10 million raised from donations and use it for expenses as they tour across the country, meeting the voters. Once the campaign money is gone, it’s gone. A bipartisan site online could accept the donations for any candidate and keep a running total of money received. Have TV debates, with the understanding that anyone breaking the rules will be immediately muted, and asked to leave. Have town hall meetings. Get politics back to the PEOPLE, to grassroots campaigns that don’t spend $100 million on one candidate. It levels the playing field for anyone to run that can raise $10 million through grassroots efforts. No politician should be beholden to huge campaign contributors. Do away with lobbying! Our country can be run better by a humanitarian,and a great administration of extremely qualified individuals. Military, Finance, Social issues, Education, Intelligence, Veterans issues, etc. we have to change the way the US is run, including elections. The richest people in the country are BUYING politicians…something the majority of the country can’t compete in, and don’t want to compete in. It would be wonderful to start voting in people based on their intelligence, their character, and their history and background. People who were overachievers in high school, college, and work. Vetting for every candidate, and any negative findings that are related to morals is disqualifying. Whoever is running this country need to be above reproach. Maybe Hakeem Jeffries, who has a great track record and is younger and more enthusiastic that anyone in the Republican Party He’s done so much for his constituents, that it’s obvious he’s a good man , and very intelligent",
">\n\nI agree with everything you said except the Hakeem Jeffries part. He takes tons of campaign bribes from multiple industries. There are democrats in the house of representatives with much cleaner records than him.",
">\n\nSantos is whoever he needs to be to pull a scam.",
">\n\nHe didn't didn't run on a whim. Someone \"encouraged\" him. Trace the origin of his money.",
">\n\nTrump has been a registered Democrat, Reformer & Republican.\nGrifters go where the money is at.",
">\n\nbeing a republican politician is basically an extremely immoral form of drag when you think about it.",
">\n\nI am now convinced that he got all of his money from the Republican party. I'm convinced that they knew he was lying all along, and they did whatever they could to get him elected. Why? Because he provides a really good distraction. While we're all watching the George Santos show, the Republicans are quietly destroying democracy.",
">\n\nHe knew it would be easy to fool a bunch of conservatives, and unfortunately he was right. Bunch of easy marks.",
">\n\nWhenever I run across a gay Republican (and they are definitely out there) I immediately assume they’re a sociopath.",
">\n\nAs a Canadian, who's perpetually befuddled by American politics, I'm amazed that someone with that gay of a face is flashing white power symbols.",
">\n\nIs George even Tony’s real name?",
">\n\nHe didn't just pop up out of nowhere and win a race all on his own. Someone chose him to be the front-man, organized, and paid for his campaign. Be interesting to find out who that was.",
">\n\nThis dude is a distraction. I’m not super into politics but I have a feeling that someone is doing some really shady shit and it being overlooked for this low hanging piece of shit.",
">\n\nIs it just me or are right wingers their own unique brand of especially gullible marks? I mean, scams don't have a political leaning but there's a lot of ways to make money selling explicitly right wing nonsense.",
">\n\nSo basically, New York elected Borat to Congress.",
">\n\nRepublicans elected him to congress",
">\n\nNo not at all, he won the Long Island district that almost always votes democrat. But it’s got a large Jewish population so he lied about being Jewish.",
">\n\nLong Islanders continue to be the stupidest fucking people",
">\n\nI'm still grappling with the fact that people care more about when he dressed up in costume as a different gender, rather than the extensive lies about his credentials.",
">\n\nI don't think \"they\" do. I.e. I think most normal people realize all that other shit is waaay worse. But everyone is wondering what the deal-breaker will be for the GOP, and you'd think that'd be proof he was a drag queen, hence the attention that's getting.\nIOW it's just evidence of how low our expectations are of the Republicans.",
">\n\nIf only I was shameless and doesn't care how much people will hate me, I definitely would run for a republican office.",
">\n\nIf you’re a conman trying to get money from political campaigns conservatives are an easy mark.",
">\n\nThere's a reason people right-wing grift. Easy money. It's also why the left-wing grift isn't a thing.",
">\n\nI’m noticing a trend with all these right wing psychos, there’s a whole lot of South Americans and Cubans in their ranks.",
">\n\nI knew the water circled the drain differently when crossing the equator, but this is ridiculous.",
">\n\nThis thread doesn't deserve your comment.",
">\n\nHe saw how gullible the Right is and how to exploit them for $",
">\n\nHe's not right or left. He's a con man. And the smart voters in NY actually voted him into office. Maybe do some research before you vote and don't vote along party lines.",
">\n\nIt’s just the last part, and they won’t.",
">\n\nMaybe he is a Trojan horse",
">\n\nOr a Trojan rep",
">\n\nHe did what Trump did, realized who the stupid people were and joined their side.",
">\n\nIs this dude getting cawthorned? Do Republicans make them go and commit kompromat before they support them?",
">\n\nThis will be the thing that really angers the Right....",
">\n\nGeorge Santo is a Lizard Person e.g. a Chameleon changing to his current environment in order to survive and prosper.",
">\n\nSome people flip flop between political extremes. On a rare occation it means they have an open mind. More often than not, they are just fools, though.",
">\n\nIt is so tragic that his family was in the holocaust and his mother died at the towers on 911",
">\n\nPure sociopath wil say anything to anyone",
">\n\nYou mean turn into a Russian agent for money and power beyond his imagination to hurt a country he didn't give a flying rat's ass about? He's not even a traitor - he's just working for Papa Putin to fuck the Americans.",

This just goes to show why vetting processes need to happen before someone is elected

He's one of those, like Trump, that is whatever is most convenient at that moment. Not really anything at all when you cut down to the deepest layer.
Trump and Hillary were such friends that he invited her to his wedding. Years later, he's this alt-right champion. It's ridiculous and barely covers the fact that he will play any side that benefits him. Just like this boy Santos. Both sociopathic liars with fragile egos and shaky claims to any thing remotely verifiable as truth.

Says a lot about George Santos that I believe a random Drag Artist in Brazil over the elected politician George Santos
Caveat, Not that I wouldnt believe something a person says (drag artist or not), but if random people came out on the internet and said, “Trump randomly said to me one time he loves Democrat policies and was a huge Obama fan” I’d be like, “Okay, random person, Trumps a shitty person but I doubt that.” George Santos is such a fucking liar I’m like, “She probably telling the truth”

Once the campaign money is gone, it’s gone. A bipartisan site online could accept the donations for any candidate and keep a running total of money received. Have TV debates, with the understanding that anyone breaking the rules will be immediately muted, and asked to leave. Have town hall meetings. Get politics back to the PEOPLE, to grassroots campaigns that don’t spend $100 million on one candidate. It levels the playing field for anyone to run that can raise $10 million through grassroots efforts. No politician should be beholden to huge campaign contributors. Do away with lobbying! Our country can be run better by a humanitarian,and a great administration of extremely qualified individuals. Military, Finance, Social issues, Education, Intelligence, Veterans issues, etc. we have to change the way the US is run, including elections. The richest people in the country are BUYING politicians…something the majority of the country can’t compete in, and don’t want to compete in. It would be wonderful to start voting in people based on their intelligence, their character, and their history and background. People who were overachievers in high school, college, and work. Vetting for every candidate, and any negative findings that are related to morals is disqualifying. Whoever is running this country need to be above reproach.

">\n\nAh, the Sinema strategy.",
">\n\nNot terribly smart. Sinema might want to make money as a lobbyist after she leaves politics but she has almost no good relations with either the Democrats or GOP. Her grifter tactics are going to backfire hard",

">\n\nthat article was oddly enthralling thank you",
">\n\nHaha I thought the same thing. Glad you enjoyed it",
">\n\nThe best part of this is watching the lack of integrity of his fellow republicans get exposed as they jump through hoops to keep supporting him.",
">\n\nI had the thought of \"what if that's the point of the long con\" but immediately shot that down because consistency, integrity, and appearances don't matter. Them being caught in a double standard doesn't matter.",
">\n\nCorrect. This is what the GOP is now. It's entirely filled by grifters who find some way to tap into peoples' dissatisfaction with Democrats. It has nothing to do with ideas or ideology or charisma or even anger in some cases. Mtg got in with qanon. Matt gaetz got in by having a rich dad. George Santos got in because it was a good year for Republicans in new york. And trump got in because he ran against Hillary Clinton.\nNobody cares about the results. They probably don't even care about the current trans panic. They stopped caring about the election years ago. And now they don't even care about q. \nThis is the modern republican party. And by the looks of it they overdosed on nihilism",
">\n\nI'm so exhausted living in a world with adult babies.",
">\n\nMuch prefer the diaper lovers, at least they keep to themselves.",
">\n\nHe could smell the money. It's all about the grift. Tomorrow I could start being a right wing grifter and within a year be a millionaire....\nHey, wait a minute. Excuse me...",
">\n\nMan the amount of times I have thought \"ya know if it weren't for this pesky conscience, I could be rich right now, just gotta tell the sheep what they want to hear and they will throw their money at you.\"\nBut I would feel bad about fleecing people out of their money, so I don't. Morals always getting in the way of making money...",
">\n\nIt's a problem. I couldn't live with myself.",
">\n\nRight?\nIve been tempted to start a megachurch so many times, but I would feel so horrible lying to those people to extract their money from them.",
">\n\nMaybe starting a new religion isn’t a bad thing. All religions are more like clustered philosophies and sets of rules on how to live a good life; the mythology and associated deities are secondary to that purpose\nIt wouldn’t be hard to make a new religion more ethical than Mormonism at least",
">\n\nI've had that thought, call it the Church of Autotheism, and base it around the idea we are all our own gods, in that we are responsible for our own actions, and the consequences of those actions. We are gods because we change the world every time we interact it with, no matter how minor that interaction is or how subtle the change caused is.\nThe hope being that if you make people aware of their actions and the consequences that they would choose to be good. Which is probably wishful thinking at best.",
">\n\nIt would fail as a religion\n\n\nEvery religion advocates for consequentialism. Every single one.\n\n\nThe purpose of Gods whether they be Allah, Buddha, Vishnu, Ahura Mazda, The Jade Emperor, etc. is to remind people that human beings are not Gods; that human beings are ultimately falliable and that there is a reason mankind is in a fallen state, whether it be sin, haram, desire, karma, etc. Religion doesn’t work without a direct figure of worship for this reason",
">\n\nYea I know.

His word is worthless and trying to sort the truth from the lies is a fools errand. \nHe may not even know the answer himself.",

All sorts of random pills, gold scams, objective trash as seen on TV stuff, scam finance stuff, etc, etc. All of this on prime time cable. You don't see them on regular media because market research is telling advertisers that conservatives are the stupidest demographic.",

">\n\n\"If that idiot can grift so can I\"",
">\n\nImagine if we took money out of politics and politicians were only working for the betterment of the people. We wouldn't have nearly as many of these stories where a conservative person is looking down on or doing something they say they're against.\nShit, if our politicians weren't suckling the teat of the rich we would likely have healthcare, people would be fed, and this manufactured inflation that's making us all poorer would have been nipped I'm the bud back when they first thought they could pull one over on the working class. \nInstead, we just get the stick.",
">\n\nTake the excess campaign dollars out of it. Don’t allow ANY money to be donated. Let every candidate start with the same dollar amount, maybe 5-10 million raised from donations and use it for expenses as they tour across the country, meeting the voters. Once the campaign money is gone, it’s gone. A bipartisan site online could accept the donations for any candidate and keep a running total of money received. Have TV debates, with the understanding that anyone breaking the rules will be immediately muted, and asked to leave. Have town hall meetings. Get politics back to the PEOPLE, to grassroots campaigns that don’t spend $100 million on one candidate. It levels the playing field for anyone to run that can raise $10 million through grassroots efforts. No politician should be beholden to huge campaign contributors. Do away with lobbying! Our country can be run better by a humanitarian,and a great administration of extremely qualified individuals. Military, Finance, Social issues, Education, Intelligence, Veterans issues, etc. we have to change the way the US is run, including elections. The richest people in the country are BUYING politicians…something the majority of the country can’t compete in, and don’t want to compete in. It would be wonderful to start voting in people based on their intelligence, their character, and their history and background. People who were overachievers in high school, college, and work. Vetting for every candidate, and any negative findings that are related to morals is disqualifying. Whoever is running this country need to be above reproach. Maybe Hakeem Jeffries, who has a great track record and is younger and more enthusiastic that anyone in the Republican Party He’s done so much for his constituents, that it’s obvious he’s a good man , and very intelligent",
">\n\nI agree with everything you said except the Hakeem Jeffries part. He takes tons of campaign bribes from multiple industries. There are democrats in the house of representatives with much cleaner records than him.",
">\n\nSantos is whoever he needs to be to pull a scam.",
">\n\nHe didn't didn't run on a whim. Someone \"encouraged\" him. Trace the origin of his money.",
">\n\nTrump has been a registered Democrat, Reformer & Republican.\nGrifters go where the money is at.",
">\n\nbeing a republican politician is basically an extremely immoral form of drag when you think about it.",
">\n\nI am now convinced that he got all of his money from the Republican party. I'm convinced that they knew he was lying all along, and they did whatever they could to get him elected. Why? Because he provides a really good distraction. While we're all watching the George Santos show, the Republicans are quietly destroying democracy.",
">\n\nHe knew it would be easy to fool a bunch of conservatives, and unfortunately he was right. Bunch of easy marks.",
">\n\nWhenever I run across a gay Republican (and they are definitely out there) I immediately assume they’re a sociopath.",
">\n\nAs a Canadian, who's perpetually befuddled by American politics, I'm amazed that someone with that gay of a face is flashing white power symbols.",
">\n\nIs George even Tony’s real name?",
">\n\nHe didn't just pop up out of nowhere and win a race all on his own. Someone chose him to be the front-man, organized, and paid for his campaign. Be interesting to find out who that was.",
">\n\nThis dude is a distraction. I’m not super into politics but I have a feeling that someone is doing some really shady shit and it being overlooked for this low hanging piece of shit.",
">\n\nIs it just me or are right wingers their own unique brand of especially gullible marks? I mean, scams don't have a political leaning but there's a lot of ways to make money selling explicitly right wing nonsense.",
">\n\nSo basically, New York elected Borat to Congress.",
">\n\nRepublicans elected him to congress",
">\n\nNo not at all, he won the Long Island district that almost always votes democrat. But it’s got a large Jewish population so he lied about being Jewish.",
">\n\nLong Islanders continue to be the stupidest fucking people",
">\n\nI'm still grappling with the fact that people care more about when he dressed up in costume as a different gender, rather than the extensive lies about his credentials.",
">\n\nI don't think \"they\" do. I.e. I think most normal people realize all that other shit is waaay worse. But everyone is wondering what the deal-breaker will be for the GOP, and you'd think that'd be proof he was a drag queen, hence the attention that's getting.\nIOW it's just evidence of how low our expectations are of the Republicans.",
">\n\nIf only I was shameless and doesn't care how much people will hate me, I definitely would run for a republican office.",

">\n\nTake the excess campaign dollars out of it. Don’t allow ANY money to be donated. Let every candidate start with the same dollar amount, maybe 5-10 million raised from donations and use it for expenses as they tour across the country, meeting the voters. Once the campaign money is gone, it’s gone. A bipartisan site online could accept the donations for any candidate and keep a running total of money received. Have TV debates, with the understanding that anyone breaking the rules will be immediately muted, and asked to leave. Have town hall meetings. Get politics back to the PEOPLE, to grassroots campaigns that don’t spend $100 million on one candidate. It levels the playing field for anyone to run that can raise $10 million through grassroots efforts. No politician should be beholden to huge campaign contributors. Do away with lobbying! Our country can be run better by a humanitarian,and a great administration of extremely qualified individuals. Military, Finance, Social issues, Education, Intelligence, Veterans issues, etc. we have to change the way the US is run, including elections. The richest people in the country are BUYING politicians…something the majority of the country can’t compete in, and don’t want to compete in. It would be wonderful to start voting in people based on their intelligence, their character, and their history and background. People who were overachievers in high school, college, and work. Vetting for every candidate, and any negative findings that are related to morals is disqualifying. Whoever is running this country need to be above reproach.

Have TV debates, with the understanding that anyone breaking the rules will be immediately muted, and asked to leave. Have town hall meetings. Get politics back to the PEOPLE, to grassroots campaigns that don’t spend $100 million on one candidate. It levels the playing field for anyone to run that can raise $10 million through grassroots efforts. No politician should be beholden to huge campaign contributors. Do away with lobbying! Our country can be run better by a humanitarian,and a great administration of extremely qualified individuals. Military, Finance, Social issues, Education, Intelligence, Veterans issues, etc. we have to change the way the US is run, including elections.

It would be wonderful to start voting in people based on their intelligence, their character, and their history and background. People who were overachievers in high school, college, and work.

Once the campaign money is gone, it’s gone. A bipartisan site online could accept the donations for any candidate and keep a running total of money received. Have TV debates, with the understanding that anyone breaking the rules will be immediately muted, and asked to leave. Have town hall meetings. Get politics back to the PEOPLE, to grassroots campaigns that don’t spend $100 million on one candidate. It levels the playing field for anyone to run that can raise $10 million through grassroots efforts. No politician should be beholden to huge campaign contributors. Do away with lobbying! Our country can be run better by a humanitarian,and a great administration of extremely qualified individuals. Military, Finance, Social issues, Education, Intelligence, Veterans issues, etc. we have to change the way the US is run, including elections. The richest people in the country are BUYING politicians…something the majority of the country can’t compete in, and don’t want to compete in.

Vetting for every candidate, and any negative findings that are related to morals is disqualifying. Whoever is running this country need to be above reproach.

It has nothing to do with ideas or ideology or charisma or even anger in some cases. Mtg got in with qanon. Matt gaetz got in by having a rich dad. George Santos got in because it was a good year for Republicans in new york. And trump got in because he ran against Hillary Clinton.\nNobody cares about the results.

">\n\nIt would fail as a religion\n\n\nEvery religion advocates for consequentialism. Every single one.\n\n\nThe purpose of Gods whether they be Allah, Buddha, Vishnu, Ahura Mazda, The Jade Emperor, etc. is to remind people that human beings are not Gods; that human beings are ultimately falliable and that there is a reason mankind is in a fallen state, whether it be sin, haram, desire, karma, etc. Religion doesn’t work without a direct figure of worship for this reason",

Let every candidate start with the same dollar amount, maybe 5-10 million raised from donations and use it for expenses as they tour across the country, meeting the voters. Once the campaign money is gone, it’s gone. A bipartisan site online could accept the donations for any candidate and keep a running total of money received. Have TV debates, with the understanding that anyone breaking the rules will be immediately muted, and asked to leave. Have town hall meetings. Get politics back to the PEOPLE, to grassroots campaigns that don’t spend $100 million on one candidate. It levels the playing field for anyone to run that can raise $10 million through grassroots efforts. No politician should be beholden to huge campaign contributors. Do away with lobbying! Our country can be run better by a humanitarian,and a great administration of extremely qualified individuals. Military, Finance, Social issues, Education, Intelligence, Veterans issues, etc. we have to change the way the US is run, including elections. The richest people in the country are BUYING politicians…something the majority of the country can’t compete in, and don’t want to compete in. It would be wonderful to start voting in people based on their intelligence, their character, and their history and background. People who were overachievers in high school, college, and work. Vetting for every candidate, and any negative findings that are related to morals is disqualifying. Whoever is running this country need to be above reproach.

">\n\nCorrect. This is what the GOP is now. It's entirely filled by grifters who find some way to tap into peoples' dissatisfaction with Democrats. It has nothing to do with ideas or ideology or charisma or even anger in some cases. Mtg got in with qanon. Matt gaetz got in by having a rich dad. George Santos got in because it was a good year for Republicans in new york. And trump got in because he ran against Hillary Clinton.\nNobody cares about the results. They probably don't even care about the current trans panic. They stopped caring about the election years ago. And now they don't even care about q. \nThis is the modern republican party.

All religions are more like clustered philosophies and sets of rules on how to live a good life; the mythology and associated deities are secondary to that purpose\nIt wouldn’t be hard to make a new religion more ethical than Mormonism at least",
">\n\nI've had that thought, call it the Church of Autotheism, and base it around the idea we are all our own gods, in that we are responsible for our own actions, and the consequences of those actions. We are gods because we change the world every time we interact it with, no matter how minor that interaction is or how subtle the change caused is.\nThe hope being that if you make people aware of their actions and the consequences that they would choose to be good. Which is probably wishful thinking at best.",
">\n\nIt would fail as a religion\n\n\nEvery religion advocates for consequentialism. Every single one.\n\n\nThe purpose of Gods whether they be Allah, Buddha, Vishnu, Ahura Mazda, The Jade Emperor, etc. is to remind people that human beings are not Gods; that human beings are ultimately falliable and that there is a reason mankind is in a fallen state, whether it be sin, haram, desire, karma, etc. Religion doesn’t work without a direct figure of worship for this reason",
">\n\nYea I know.

">\n\nCorrect. This is what the GOP is now. It's entirely filled by grifters who find some way to tap into peoples' dissatisfaction with Democrats. It has nothing to do with ideas or ideology or charisma or even anger in some cases. Mtg got in with qanon. Matt gaetz got in by having a rich dad. George Santos got in because it was a good year for Republicans in new york. And trump got in because he ran against Hillary Clinton.\nNobody cares about the results. They probably don't even care about the current trans panic. They stopped caring about the election years ago. And now they don't even care about q. \nThis is the modern republican party.

">\n\nI've had that thought, call it the Church of Autotheism, and base it around the idea we are all our own gods, in that we are responsible for our own actions, and the consequences of those actions. We are gods because we change the world every time we interact it with, no matter how minor that interaction is or how subtle the change caused is.\nThe hope being that if you make people aware of their actions and the consequences that they would choose to be good. Which is probably wishful thinking at best.",
">\n\nIt would fail as a religion\n\n\nEvery religion advocates for consequentialism. Every single one.\n\n\nThe purpose of Gods whether they be Allah, Buddha, Vishnu, Ahura Mazda, The Jade Emperor, etc. is to remind people that human beings are not Gods; that human beings are ultimately falliable and that there is a reason mankind is in a fallen state, whether it be sin, haram, desire, karma, etc. Religion doesn’t work without a direct figure of worship for this reason",

It levels the playing field for anyone to run that can raise $10 million through grassroots efforts. No politician should be beholden to huge campaign contributors. Do away with lobbying! Our country can be run better by a humanitarian,and a great administration of extremely qualified individuals.

">\n\nCorrect. This is what the GOP is now. It's entirely filled by grifters who find some way to tap into peoples' dissatisfaction with Democrats. It has nothing to do with ideas or ideology or charisma or even anger in some cases. Mtg got in with qanon. Matt gaetz got in by having a rich dad. George Santos got in because it was a good year for Republicans in new york. And trump got in because he ran against Hillary Clinton.\nNobody cares about the results. They probably don't even care about the current trans panic. They stopped caring about the election years ago. And now they don't even care about q. \nThis is the modern republican party.

">\n\nI've had that thought, call it the Church of Autotheism, and base it around the idea we are all our own gods, in that we are responsible for our own actions, and the consequences of those actions. We are gods because we change the world every time we interact it with, no matter how minor that interaction is or how subtle the change caused is.\nThe hope being that if you make people aware of their actions and the consequences that they would choose to be good. Which is probably wishful thinking at best.",
">\n\nIt would fail as a religion\n\n\nEvery religion advocates for consequentialism. Every single one.\n\n\nThe purpose of Gods whether they be Allah, Buddha, Vishnu, Ahura Mazda, The Jade Emperor, etc. is to remind people that human beings are not Gods; that human beings are ultimately falliable and that there is a reason mankind is in a fallen state, whether it be sin, haram, desire, karma, etc. Religion doesn’t work without a direct figure of worship for this reason",

Get politics back to the PEOPLE, to grassroots campaigns that don’t spend $100 million on one candidate. It levels the playing field for anyone to run that can raise $10 million through grassroots efforts. No politician should be beholden to huge campaign contributors. Do away with lobbying!

Have TV debates, with the understanding that anyone breaking the rules will be immediately muted, and asked to leave. Have town hall meetings. Get politics back to the PEOPLE, to grassroots campaigns that don’t spend $100 million on one candidate. It levels the playing field for anyone to run that can raise $10 million through grassroots efforts. No politician should be beholden to huge campaign contributors. Do away with lobbying! Our country can be run better by a humanitarian,and a great administration of extremely qualified individuals.

All religions are more like clustered philosophies and sets of rules on how to live a good life; the mythology and associated deities are secondary to that purpose\nIt wouldn’t be hard to make a new religion more ethical than Mormonism at least",
">\n\nI've had that thought, call it the Church of Autotheism, and base it around the idea we are all our own gods, in that we are responsible for our own actions, and the consequences of those actions. We are gods because we change the world every time we interact it with, no matter how minor that interaction is or how subtle the change caused is.\nThe hope being that if you make people aware of their actions and the consequences that they would choose to be good.

">\n\nIt would fail as a religion\n\n\nEvery religion advocates for consequentialism. Every single one.\n\n\nThe purpose of Gods whether they be Allah, Buddha, Vishnu, Ahura Mazda, The Jade Emperor, etc. is to remind people that human beings are not Gods; that human beings are ultimately falliable and that there is a reason mankind is in a fallen state, whether it be sin, haram, desire, karma, etc. Religion doesn’t work without a direct figure of worship for this reason",

">\n\nTake the excess campaign dollars out of it. Don’t allow ANY money to be donated.

Once the campaign money is gone, it’s gone. A bipartisan site online could accept the donations for any candidate and keep a running total of money received. Have TV debates, with the understanding that anyone breaking the rules will be immediately muted, and asked to leave. Have town hall meetings. Get politics back to the PEOPLE, to grassroots campaigns that don’t spend $100 million on one candidate. It levels the playing field for anyone to run that can raise $10 million through grassroots efforts. No politician should be beholden to huge campaign contributors. Do away with lobbying! Our country can be run better by a humanitarian,and a great administration of extremely qualified individuals. Military, Finance, Social issues, Education, Intelligence, Veterans issues, etc. we have to change the way the US is run, including elections. The richest people in the country are BUYING politicians…something the majority of the country can’t compete in, and don’t want to compete in. It would be wonderful to start voting in people based on their intelligence, their character, and their history and background. People who were overachievers in high school, college, and work. Vetting for every candidate, and any negative findings that are related to morals is disqualifying. Whoever is running this country need to be above reproach.

">\n\nIs George even Tony’s real name?",

">\n\nCorrect. This is what the GOP is now. It's entirely filled by grifters who find some way to tap into peoples' dissatisfaction with Democrats. It has nothing to do with ideas or ideology or charisma or even anger in some cases. Mtg got in with qanon. Matt gaetz got in by having a rich dad. George Santos got in because it was a good year for Republicans in new york. And trump got in because he ran against Hillary Clinton.\nNobody cares about the results. They probably don't even care about the current trans panic. They stopped caring about the election years ago. And now they don't even care about q. \nThis is the modern republican party. And by the looks of it they overdosed on nihilism",

">\n\nI've had that thought, call it the Church of Autotheism, and base it around the idea we are all our own gods, in that we are responsible for our own actions, and the consequences of those actions. We are gods because we change the world every time we interact it with, no matter how minor that interaction is or how subtle the change caused is.\nThe hope being that if you make people aware of their actions and the consequences that they would choose to be good.

">\n\nIt would fail as a religion\n\n\nEvery religion advocates for consequentialism. Every single one.\n\n\nThe purpose of Gods whether they be Allah, Buddha, Vishnu, Ahura Mazda, The Jade Emperor, etc. is to remind people that human beings are not Gods; that human beings are ultimately falliable and that there is a reason mankind is in a fallen state, whether it be sin, haram, desire, karma, etc. Religion doesn’t work without a direct figure of worship for this reason",

">\n\nTake the excess campaign dollars out of it. Don’t allow ANY money to be donated.

Have TV debates, with the understanding that anyone breaking the rules will be immediately muted, and asked to leave. Have town hall meetings. Get politics back to the PEOPLE, to grassroots campaigns that don’t spend $100 million on one candidate. It levels the playing field for anyone to run that can raise $10 million through grassroots efforts. No politician should be beholden to huge campaign contributors. Do away with lobbying! Our country can be run better by a humanitarian,and a great administration of extremely qualified individuals.

">\n\nCorrect. This is what the GOP is now. It's entirely filled by grifters who find some way to tap into peoples' dissatisfaction with Democrats. It has nothing to do with ideas or ideology or charisma or even anger in some cases. Mtg got in with qanon. Matt gaetz got in by having a rich dad. George Santos got in because it was a good year for Republicans in new york. And trump got in because he ran against Hillary Clinton.\nNobody cares about the results.

">\n\nTake the excess campaign dollars out of it. Don’t allow ANY money to be donated.

Once the campaign money is gone, it’s gone. A bipartisan site online could accept the donations for any candidate and keep a running total of money received. Have TV debates, with the understanding that anyone breaking the rules will be immediately muted, and asked to leave. Have town hall meetings. Get politics back to the PEOPLE, to grassroots campaigns that don’t spend $100 million on one candidate. It levels the playing field for anyone to run that can raise $10 million through grassroots efforts. No politician should be beholden to huge campaign contributors. Do away with lobbying! Our country can be run better by a humanitarian,and a great administration of extremely qualified individuals. Military, Finance, Social issues, Education, Intelligence, Veterans issues, etc. we have to change the way the US is run, including elections. The richest people in the country are BUYING politicians…something the majority of the country can’t compete in, and don’t want to compete in. It would be wonderful to start voting in people based on their intelligence, their character, and their history and background. People who were overachievers in high school, college, and work. Vetting for every candidate, and any negative findings that are related to morals is disqualifying. Whoever is running this country need to be above reproach.

">\n\nCorrect. This is what the GOP is now. It's entirely filled by grifters who find some way to tap into peoples' dissatisfaction with Democrats. It has nothing to do with ideas or ideology or charisma or even anger in some cases. Mtg got in with qanon. Matt gaetz got in by having a rich dad. George Santos got in because it was a good year for Republicans in new york. And trump got in because he ran against Hillary Clinton.\nNobody cares about the results. They probably don't even care about the current trans panic. They stopped caring about the election years ago. And now they don't even care about q. \nThis is the modern republican party. And by the looks of it they overdosed on nihilism",

">\n\nI've had that thought, call it the Church of Autotheism, and base it around the idea we are all our own gods, in that we are responsible for our own actions, and the consequences of those actions. We are gods because we change the world every time we interact it with, no matter how minor that interaction is or how subtle the change caused is.\nThe hope being that if you make people aware of their actions and the consequences that they would choose to be good.

">\n\nIt would fail as a religion\n\n\nEvery religion advocates for consequentialism. Every single one.\n\n\nThe purpose of Gods whether they be Allah, Buddha, Vishnu, Ahura Mazda, The Jade Emperor, etc. is to remind people that human beings are not Gods; that human beings are ultimately falliable and that there is a reason mankind is in a fallen state, whether it be sin, haram, desire, karma, etc. Religion doesn’t work without a direct figure of worship for this reason",

Have TV debates, with the understanding that anyone breaking the rules will be immediately muted, and asked to leave. Have town hall meetings. Get politics back to the PEOPLE, to grassroots campaigns that don’t spend $100 million on one candidate. It levels the playing field for anyone to run that can raise $10 million through grassroots efforts. No politician should be beholden to huge campaign contributors. Do away with lobbying! Our country can be run better by a humanitarian,and a great administration of extremely qualified individuals. Military, Finance, Social issues, Education, Intelligence, Veterans issues, etc. we have to change the way the US is run, including elections. The richest people in the country are BUYING politicians…something the majority of the country can’t compete in, and don’t want to compete in. It would be wonderful to start voting in people based on their intelligence, their character, and their history and background. People who were overachievers in high school, college, and work. Vetting for every candidate, and any negative findings that are related to morals is disqualifying. Whoever is running this country need to be above reproach.

Have TV debates, with the understanding that anyone breaking the rules will be immediately muted, and asked to leave. Have town hall meetings. Get politics back to the PEOPLE, to grassroots campaigns that don’t spend $100 million on one candidate. It levels the playing field for anyone to run that can raise $10 million through grassroots efforts. No politician should be beholden to huge campaign contributors. Do away with lobbying! Our country can be run better by a humanitarian,and a great administration of extremely qualified individuals. Military, Finance, Social issues, Education, Intelligence, Veterans issues, etc. we have to change the way the US is run, including elections. The richest people in the country are BUYING politicians…something the majority of the country can’t compete in, and don’t want to compete in.

">\n\nThe best part of this is watching the lack of integrity of his fellow republicans get exposed as they jump through hoops to keep supporting him.",
">\n\nI had the thought of \"what if that's the point of the long con\" but immediately shot that down because consistency, integrity, and appearances don't matter. Them being caught in a double standard doesn't matter.",
">\n\nCorrect. This is what the GOP is now. It's entirely filled by grifters who find some way to tap into peoples' dissatisfaction with Democrats. It has nothing to do with ideas or ideology or charisma or even anger in some cases. Mtg got in with qanon. Matt gaetz got in by having a rich dad. George Santos got in because it was a good year for Republicans in new york. And trump got in because he ran against Hillary Clinton.\nNobody cares about the results. They probably don't even care about the current trans panic. They stopped caring about the election years ago. And now they don't even care about q. \nThis is the modern republican party. And by the looks of it they overdosed on nihilism",

">\n\nRight?\nIve been tempted to start a megachurch so many times, but I would feel so horrible lying to those people to extract their money from them.",
">\n\nMaybe starting a new religion isn’t a bad thing. All religions are more like clustered philosophies and sets of rules on how to live a good life; the mythology and associated deities are secondary to that purpose\nIt wouldn’t be hard to make a new religion more ethical than Mormonism at least",
">\n\nI've had that thought, call it the Church of Autotheism, and base it around the idea we are all our own gods, in that we are responsible for our own actions, and the consequences of those actions. We are gods because we change the world every time we interact it with, no matter how minor that interaction is or how subtle the change caused is.\nThe hope being that if you make people aware of their actions and the consequences that they would choose to be good. Which is probably wishful thinking at best.",
">\n\nIt would fail as a religion\n\n\nEvery religion advocates for consequentialism. Every single one.\n\n\nThe purpose of Gods whether they be Allah, Buddha, Vishnu, Ahura Mazda, The Jade Emperor, etc. is to remind people that human beings are not Gods; that human beings are ultimately falliable and that there is a reason mankind is in a fallen state, whether it be sin, haram, desire, karma, etc. Religion doesn’t work without a direct figure of worship for this reason",
">\n\nYea I know. It doesn't come with that fear of divine or cosmic retribution that hooks people.\nCan't scare people if you whole thing is \"everything is chaos, nothing means anything, so why not try being nice to each other to make things more pleasant?\" except dressed up in theological language.",

All sorts of random pills, gold scams, objective trash as seen on TV stuff, scam finance stuff, etc, etc. All of this on prime time cable.

We wouldn't have nearly as many of these stories where a conservative person is looking down on or doing something they say they're against.\nShit, if our politicians weren't suckling the teat of the rich we would likely have healthcare, people would be fed, and this manufactured inflation that's making us all poorer would have been nipped I'm the bud back when they first thought they could pull one over on the working class. \nInstead, we just get the stick.",
">\n\nTake the excess campaign dollars out of it. Don’t allow ANY money to be donated. Let every candidate start with the same dollar amount, maybe 5-10 million raised from donations and use it for expenses as they tour across the country, meeting the voters. Once the campaign money is gone, it’s gone. A bipartisan site online could accept the donations for any candidate and keep a running total of money received. Have TV debates, with the understanding that anyone breaking the rules will be immediately muted, and asked to leave. Have town hall meetings. Get politics back to the PEOPLE, to grassroots campaigns that don’t spend $100 million on one candidate. It levels the playing field for anyone to run that can raise $10 million through grassroots efforts. No politician should be beholden to huge campaign contributors. Do away with lobbying! Our country can be run better by a humanitarian,and a great administration of extremely qualified individuals. Military, Finance, Social issues, Education, Intelligence, Veterans issues, etc. we have to change the way the US is run, including elections. The richest people in the country are BUYING politicians…something the majority of the country can’t compete in, and don’t want to compete in. It would be wonderful to start voting in people based on their intelligence, their character, and their history and background. People who were overachievers in high school, college, and work. Vetting for every candidate, and any negative findings that are related to morals is disqualifying. Whoever is running this country need to be above reproach.

">\n\nCorrect. This is what the GOP is now. It's entirely filled by grifters who find some way to tap into peoples' dissatisfaction with Democrats. It has nothing to do with ideas or ideology or charisma or even anger in some cases. Mtg got in with qanon. Matt gaetz got in by having a rich dad. George Santos got in because it was a good year for Republicans in new york. And trump got in because he ran against Hillary Clinton.\nNobody cares about the results.

Ever read “Kiss of the Spider Woman?” A flamboyant gay drag queen in South America is joyfully apolitical even as the government is cracking down on people like him. This makes him an easy mark, and in return for little favors the fascists turn him into a double agent working for them instead.

Get politics back to the PEOPLE, to grassroots campaigns that don’t spend $100 million on one candidate. It levels the playing field for anyone to run that can raise $10 million through grassroots efforts. No politician should be beholden to huge campaign contributors. Do away with lobbying! Our country can be run better by a humanitarian,and a great administration of extremely qualified individuals.

It has nothing to do with ideas or ideology or charisma or even anger in some cases. Mtg got in with qanon. Matt gaetz got in by having a rich dad. George Santos got in because it was a good year for Republicans in new york. And trump got in because he ran against Hillary Clinton.\nNobody cares about the results.

Our country can be run better by a humanitarian,and a great administration of extremely qualified individuals. Military, Finance, Social issues, Education, Intelligence, Veterans issues, etc. we have to change the way the US is run, including elections. The richest people in the country are BUYING politicians…something the majority of the country can’t compete in, and don’t want to compete in. It would be wonderful to start voting in people based on their intelligence, their character, and their history and background. People who were overachievers in high school, college, and work. Vetting for every candidate, and any negative findings that are related to morals is disqualifying. Whoever is running this country need to be above reproach.

It has nothing to do with ideas or ideology or charisma or even anger in some cases. Mtg got in with qanon. Matt gaetz got in by having a rich dad. George Santos got in because it was a good year for Republicans in new york. And trump got in because he ran against Hillary Clinton.\nNobody cares about the results.

">\n\nI've had that thought, call it the Church of Autotheism, and base it around the idea we are all our own gods, in that we are responsible for our own actions, and the consequences of those actions. We are gods because we change the world every time we interact it with, no matter how minor that interaction is or how subtle the change caused is.\nThe hope being that if you make people aware of their actions and the consequences that they would choose to be good.

Every single one.\n\n\nThe purpose of Gods whether they be Allah, Buddha, Vishnu, Ahura Mazda, The Jade Emperor, etc. is to remind people that human beings are not Gods; that human beings are ultimately falliable and that there is a reason mankind is in a fallen state, whether it be sin, haram, desire, karma, etc. Religion doesn’t work without a direct figure of worship for this reason",

Let every candidate start with the same dollar amount, maybe 5-10 million raised from donations and use it for expenses as they tour across the country, meeting the voters. Once the campaign money is gone, it’s gone. A bipartisan site online could accept the donations for any candidate and keep a running total of money received. Have TV debates, with the understanding that anyone breaking the rules will be immediately muted, and asked to leave. Have town hall meetings. Get politics back to the PEOPLE, to grassroots campaigns that don’t spend $100 million on one candidate. It levels the playing field for anyone to run that can raise $10 million through grassroots efforts. No politician should be beholden to huge campaign contributors. Do away with lobbying! Our country can be run better by a humanitarian,and a great administration of extremely qualified individuals. Military, Finance, Social issues, Education, Intelligence, Veterans issues, etc. we have to change the way the US is run, including elections. The richest people in the country are BUYING politicians…something the majority of the country can’t compete in, and don’t want to compete in. It would be wonderful to start voting in people based on their intelligence, their character, and their history and background. People who were overachievers in high school, college, and work. Vetting for every candidate, and any negative findings that are related to morals is disqualifying. Whoever is running this country need to be above reproach.

All sorts of random pills, gold scams, objective trash as seen on TV stuff, scam finance stuff, etc, etc. All of this on prime time cable. You don't see them on regular media because market research is telling advertisers that conservatives are the stupidest demographic.",

">\n\nDemocrats resign over fucking nothing. \nFucking nothing makes a Republican resign.",
">\n\nI'm honestly worried Biden might resign over these documents found in his residence...",
">\n\nNot worried. The presidents daily schedule is top secret. But eventually outdated and useless info. He probably kept the schedules with his notes and didn’t think it was really an issue to people with common sense. Time will tell. Except for on Fox News.",
">\n\nSeems like he had the same \"I can make so much money grifting the idiots on the right\" idea that I've had many times.\nOnly difference is that he's actually twisted enough to go out and do it. I say I'll do it quite often, but I'm not shitty enough to go through with it.",

">\n\nTake the excess campaign dollars out of it. Don’t allow ANY money to be donated. Let every candidate start with the same dollar amount, maybe 5-10 million raised from donations and use it for expenses as they tour across the country, meeting the voters. Once the campaign money is gone, it’s gone. A bipartisan site online could accept the donations for any candidate and keep a running total of money received. Have TV debates, with the understanding that anyone breaking the rules will be immediately muted, and asked to leave. Have town hall meetings. Get politics back to the PEOPLE, to grassroots campaigns that don’t spend $100 million on one candidate. It levels the playing field for anyone to run that can raise $10 million through grassroots efforts. No politician should be beholden to huge campaign contributors. Do away with lobbying! Our country can be run better by a humanitarian,and a great administration of extremely qualified individuals. Military, Finance, Social issues, Education, Intelligence, Veterans issues, etc. we have to change the way the US is run, including elections. The richest people in the country are BUYING politicians…something the majority of the country can’t compete in, and don’t want to compete in. It would be wonderful to start voting in people based on their intelligence, their character, and their history and background. People who were overachievers in high school, college, and work. Vetting for every candidate, and any negative findings that are related to morals is disqualifying. Whoever is running this country need to be above reproach. Maybe Hakeem Jeffries, who has a great track record and is younger and more enthusiastic that anyone in the Republican Party He’s done so much for his constituents, that it’s obvious he’s a good man , and very intelligent",

">\n\nTrump has been a registered Democrat, Reformer & Republican.\nGrifters go where the money is at.",
">\n\nbeing a republican politician is basically an extremely immoral form of drag when you think about it.",
">\n\nI am now convinced that he got all of his money from the Republican party. I'm convinced that they knew he was lying all along, and they did whatever they could to get him elected. Why? Because he provides a really good distraction. While we're all watching the George Santos show, the Republicans are quietly destroying democracy.",
">\n\nHe knew it would be easy to fool a bunch of conservatives, and unfortunately he was right. Bunch of easy marks.",
">\n\nWhenever I run across a gay Republican (and they are definitely out there) I immediately assume they’re a sociopath.",
">\n\nAs a Canadian, who's perpetually befuddled by American politics, I'm amazed that someone with that gay of a face is flashing white power symbols.",
">\n\nIs George even Tony’s real name?",
">\n\nHe didn't just pop up out of nowhere and win a race all on his own. Someone chose him to be the front-man, organized, and paid for his campaign. Be interesting to find out who that was.",
">\n\nThis dude is a distraction. I’m not super into politics but I have a feeling that someone is doing some really shady shit and it being overlooked for this low hanging piece of shit.",

">\n\nLong Islanders continue to be the stupidest fucking people",

">\n\nI don't think \"they\" do. I.e. I think most normal people realize all that other shit is waaay worse. But everyone is wondering what the deal-breaker will be for the GOP, and you'd think that'd be proof he was a drag queen, hence the attention that's getting.\nIOW it's just evidence of how low our expectations are of the Republicans.",
">\n\nIf only I was shameless and doesn't care how much people will hate me, I definitely would run for a republican office.",
">\n\nIf you’re a conman trying to get money from political campaigns conservatives are an easy mark.",

">\n\nHe saw how gullible the Right is and how to exploit them for $",
">\n\nHe's not right or left. He's a con man. And the smart voters in NY actually voted him into office. Maybe do some research before you vote and don't vote along party lines.",
">\n\nIt’s just the last part, and they won’t.",
">\n\nMaybe he is a Trojan horse",
">\n\nOr a Trojan rep",
">\n\nHe did what Trump did, realized who the stupid people were and joined their side.",
">\n\nIs this dude getting cawthorned? Do Republicans make them go and commit kompromat before they support them?",
">\n\nThis will be the thing that really angers the Right....",
">\n\nGeorge Santo is a Lizard Person e.g. a Chameleon changing to his current environment in order to survive and prosper.",
">\n\nSome people flip flop between political extremes. On a rare occation it means they have an open mind. More often than not, they are just fools, though.",
">\n\nIt is so tragic that his family was in the holocaust and his mother died at the towers on 911",
">\n\nPure sociopath wil say anything to anyone",
">\n\nYou mean turn into a Russian agent for money and power beyond his imagination to hurt a country he didn't give a flying rat's ass about? He's not even a traitor - he's just working for Papa Putin to fuck the Americans.",
">\n\nplease be a left wing sleeper agent\nplease be a left wing sleeper agent\nplease be a left wing sleeper agent",
">\n\nOpportunistic Brazilian ConArtist",
">\n\nThis just goes to show why vetting processes need to happen before someone is elected",
">\n\nHe's one of those, like Trump, that is whatever is most convenient at that moment. Not really anything at all when you cut down to the deepest layer. \nTrump and Hillary were such friends that he invited her to his wedding. Years later, he's this alt-right champion. It's ridiculous and barely covers the fact that he will play any side that benefits him. Just like this boy Santos. Both sociopathic liars with fragile egos and shaky claims to any thing remotely verifiable as truth.",
">\n\nUndiagnosed personality disorders are all around us.",
">\n\nSays a lot about George Santos that I believe a random Drag Artist in Brazil over the elected politician George Santos \nCaveat, Not that I wouldnt believe something a person says (drag artist or not), but if random people came out on the internet and said, “Trump randomly said to me one time he loves Democrat policies and was a huge Obama fan” I’d be like, “Okay, random person, Trumps a shitty person but I doubt that.” George Santos is such a fucking liar I’m like, “She probably telling the truth”",
">\n\nEvery day this looks more like a borat movie in real life.",
">\n\nIF America had rejected tRump, this pathological liar, wouldn't be here now.",
">\n\nI don't know about everyone else but I'm starting to think that this guy might not be the most trustworthy",
">\n\nWho is this person? He fooled so many.",
">\n\nHe saw a reality tv star play a role upon a mountain of lies and now he thinks he can too.",
">\n\nMaybe the left is missing the message here. Run as republican, be outraged by all the silly shit that Ra yell at, but then vote leftwing.\nPretend to be a right-wing nut job, but vote left",
">\n\nBecause this is how you get elected and get a fuckton of money, obviously. It's easy to do. Look at Musk and Trump - also previously non-nationalists (but always grifters) capitalizing on the rightzis' lunacy and hysteria. 'Pay me if you want to survive the assault on white identity and religion' is a ~~powerful~~ profitable message.",
">\n\nR/conservative",
">\n\nCon-men have no political philosophies, just scams.",
">\n\nThese fucks just want fame. They don’t care which side they’re on, just as long as they see themselves in the paper, on the news and internet. Narcissists.",
">\n\nHe wasn’t a “Leftist” but he certainly has all the familiar traits of a sociopathic Conservative. Georgieboi will say and do anything to get what he wants. It is your stereotypical malignant Narcissist.",
">\n\nSleeper agent?",
">\n\nThe reason for “this crazy thing” is called money. He was obviously bought by some group to run as a gay republican to get votes in a contested district, and it worked. All efforts should be put in it tracking down who paid him to do this and creating strong ethical standards for elected officials",
">\n\nI can guarantee you he didn't just recently turn crazy",
">\n\nIf the song was about Santos, it basically would have been I met a drag queen, she was horrible, I went somewhere else.",
">\n\nI'm gonna channel my inner Obi Wan and ask who's more foolish, the fool, or the fool who votes for him?",
">\n\nThis is how politics works in the US. Hasan and his uncle Cenk talk about this all the time. Going the right wing route is a way more profitable route. For a lot of them its just a grift. The marks/voters are an extremely manipulable bunch, and the funders (billionaires/corporations) have big pockets",

">\n\nIt did come out. And local press covered it. It’s just that nobody gave a shit…",
">\n\nCrazy thing = scam artist and probable Russian plant",
">\n\nMy guess is he’s always been a pathological liar and doesn’t have any convictions or principles",
">\n\nHe never supported anything except his own enrichment. The guy is a psycho and always has been.",
">\n\nIs it that odd? I do believe a number of current conservatives both in the media and in politics were at one point pretty liberal, but when they found out they couldn't make money off it, they went to the right.",
">\n\nGrift is a hell of a drug",
">\n\nI don't think he actually believes his own shit, but I do wonder if he is being paid off by a foreign power to help destabilize the US",

">\n\nWhy is he not being recalled by his district ?",
">\n\nWhose payroll is he on?",
">\n\nI just wish this article was about Matt Gaetz",
">\n\nSimilar to people like Trump or Candice Owens. These people have no ideology just the grift path of least resistance.",
">\n\nAll these formerly hidden fun facts about ol' George here are sooo interesting. He's just a never-ending fount of delightful surprises!\nP.S. Did you know that George Santos lassos rampaging bulls with his penis?",
">\n\nYeah, he probably lied about all that too",
">\n\nDamn, I never thought anyone on the republican team could do their makeup better than Trump, but I was wrong!",
">\n\nSir Lies a lot",
">\n\nHe didn’t change. He was always a liar. I wouldn’t be shocked if he was a straight up\nPsychopath.",

">\n\nPlease can someone make a visual timeline of this man’s life and lies? It’s so complicated that I can’t understand the full history of when he showed up in politics and the claims he’s made. It’s too convoluted to comprehend. I need bullet points. Or drawrings.",

">\n\nI want to know if he's actually a US citizen, or if just lied about that like everything else.",
">\n\nAre we sure that \"George Santos\" is not just a Sacha Baron Cohen project at this point?",
">\n\nThis is literally full grift mode mask off. There isn't any hard evidence a guy like Dave Rubin switches to the right for money, but we all know it's true.\nThis grift has receipts.",
">\n\nHe goes where the grift is. Right now the maga crowd is so reactionary and blinded by the identity politics of the right that they don't notice their pockets being picked",
">\n\nThe crazy theory of him being actually an actor working for Sasha Baron Cohen sounds less and less crazy every day.",
">\n\nProbably just a grifter who saw where the suckers were at. People like him don't have any real political beliefs.",

">\n\nSo he’s drag Trump?",

">\n\nThis is a real republican...",
">\n\nIs he the Cousin of Ronnette Desantis from Florida???",

">\n\nMan just wanted some free healthcare for life",
">\n\nEver read “Kiss of the Spider Woman?” A flamboyant gay drag queen in South America is joyfully apolitical even as the government is cracking down on people like him. This makes him an easy mark, and in return for little favors the fascists turn him into a double agent working for them instead.",
">\n\nIt’s easy to get elected if you just spew enough hate into the right people.",
">\n\nIt would be so easy to be a right wing grifter",
">\n\nHe probably got introduced to Putin by Glenn Greenwald.",
">\n\nIf this whole thing turns out to be some piece of performance art. I will admit it's impressive.",
">\n\nHe has to be friends with Glen Greenwald",
">\n\nCapitalism consumes those with a weak mind. Makes sense Santos betrayed the left and gave in to the vast wealth the conservative movement offered. Dude was an opportunist, and the GOP gullible rich assholes. Perfect marriage",
">\n\nThey love how the crazies distract the libs so much that they'll keep electing them until it's the GCP.",
">\n\nLauren Boebert was a sugar baby found through a casting website.\nThe whole plan is to make sure that tons of clown candidates break through.\nIt creates the narrative that all government is corrupt and we need a strong fascist to fix things. \"I mean, you don't see the Democrats doing anything to stop Santos or MTG or Boebert...\" they'll argue as they throw Santos out.",
