Is three times a charm, or is it three strikes and you’re out? The expulsion of George Santos could be happening, for real this time, on the third attempt.
The lies and deceit have caught up to George Santos, who is forecasted to be expelled from Congress this week. Even he says so. And, of course, he’s spilling the tea on his way out.
One headline from The Blaze reads like a sordid intro to a steamy Hollywood novel.
‘A badge of honor’: George Santos prepares for expulsion from Congress, claims colleagues have drunken sex with lobbyists.
Geoge Santos seems to understand his gig is up. He says he will wear his expulsion like a badge of honor. The Congressman survived two prior expulsion attempts. But now, he claims he knows he is out because he’s done the math repeatedly, and it just doesn’t look good.
He told everyone about it in a Friday 3-hour conversation held in an X Space.
“I have colleagues who are more worried about getting drunk every night with the next lobbyist that they’re going to screw — and pretend like none of us know what’s going on — and sell off the American people, than show up to vote because they’re too hungover,” he says.

If you are on the X platform and can sit in on one of the Spaces, please do so. These Congress people have no worries about going to Spaces and talking up a storm. In the three weeks we were without a Speaker, I sat in on a few Spaces about the topic, which was enlightening. Matt Gaetz made an appearance, as well as George Santos!
Sadly, though, I missed this Space these articles are referring to.
The congressman ranted for more than three hours via a livestream, targeting political “hypocrites” and the upcoming expulsion vote against him. – The Daily Beast
Mr. Santos was in a Space hosted by conservative media personality Monica Matthews, where he lashed out at colleagues and made all of his inflammatory comments.
Once the Representative is ousted, be on the lookout for his tell-all book, George Santos, from It Girl to the Mary Magdalene of the United States Congress. I am sure he’ll be making the media rounds.
“Within the ranks of the United States Congress, there’s felons galore. There’s people with all sorts of sheisty backgrounds, and all of a sudden George Santos is the Mary Magdalene of the United States Congress.” – George Santos
So, while all of his lies about getting elected will not be his undoing, a misuse of campaign funds will likely do it.
It also wasn’t the allegations that he stole donors’ identities and allegedly used their credit cards without their knowledge. But what about receiving unemployment benefits when he actually had a job? Nope. Those charges couldn’t even get him fired from Congress.
Finally, after a lengthy investigation by the House Ethics Committee, it was the spending of $3,000 of campaign money on Botox treatments and thousands of dollars on luxury brands such as Hermes. Oh, and also, payments to OnlyFans and some purchases from Sephora.
Meanwhile, we still have the borderline terrorist group, The Squad, all up in the United States Congress.
Along with George Santos, I am sure many other people would also like to show the door to Marjorie Taylor Greene, Lauren Boerbert, and Matt Gaetz. I’m not saying Santos should stay in place. He probably should be tossed out so we can get some serious people in the room. But I am not hopeful anyone out there is willing to serve in this climate.
Would love to hear your thoughts on the matter in the comment section.

American Human says: Not sure what he means by the Mary Magdalene of the U.S. Congress. I hope he’s not implying she’s prostitute.
I doubt there are more than a handful of serving congressmen or senators that are not corrupt to the core. Think of it, when Nancy Pelosi was speaker, no one did anything except her. She was the lone voice for the democrats on any legislation. If she didn’t want it passed, it wasn’t passed, etc. I never underestimate the things an elected member of Congress will do in order to remain elected. If one hundred people donate $100 each, that’s $10K. If a single person, union, or corporate entity donates $100,000 to a PAC, who will the congress-critter listen to and who will get wined and dined.
It all comes down to money talks, citizens walk!!!
American Human says: Also, the parties raise enormous amounts of cash for their party elections. Anyone who doesn’t toe the party line doesn’t get any reelection $$ either. So its all about getting the cash for their next election, that’s it. Who cares about constituents? They have lowly staffers or interns read and return emails with boiler plate text about a caring and concerned elected official who will do whatever they can so please be patient because the other party is ruining everything. Or if you try to express an opinion, an unlearned and unintelligent low level peon will insult you and your stupid opinion.
Prove me wrong!!!
Cameron says: The Democrats have had KKK members, a guy that left a woman to die in a submerged car, and currently have a “squad” of Jew haters that rival anything the Nazis put out there.
I don’t give a crap about this guy’s indiscretions.
Lloyd says: Good points….The anti-American “Squad” is far more dangerous than Santos. Saddening and frightening that all were elected…and could probably be elected again.
