House GOP file resolution to expel lying George Santos from Congress

House Republicans from New York have made it official--they've filed a privileged resolution on Thursday to kick Rep. George Santos (R-NY) out of Congress.

The resolution was introduced by Rep. Anthony D’Esposito (R-NY) and co-sponsored by New York Republican Reps. Brandon Williams, Nick LaLota and Marc Molinaro. 

This drastic move came following a number of scandals involving Santos in which, for example, he allegedly lied to voters about his personal life and background, and was also indicted for several federal offenses in May and charge with additional crimes earlier this month. 

The guy even lied about his college education [or lack thereof].

"Today on the House floor, I introduced a privileged resolution to expel George Santos from Congress," D’Esposito said in a statement after introducing the resolution.

"While George Santos is entitled to his day in court to plead his innocence, the people of New York's 3rd Congressional District deserve a representative who is solely focused on serving the public and not spending the majority of their time combating 23 federal charges such as wire fraud, money laundering and theft of public funds," he continued. "We must remove this conman from Congress."

Amen.

The resolution was first announced on Oct. 11 — one day after the latest slate of federal charges against Santos were announced — but the action Thursday paves the way for the House to hold a floor vote on it within two legislative days.

In response to D’Esposito's action, Santos said he was entitled to due process, which is actually true.

"Three points of clarification: 1. I have not cleared out my office. 2. I’m not resigning. 3. I’m entitled to due process and not a predetermined outcome as some are seeking. God bless!" lying Santos tweeted.

"As alleged, Santos is charged with stealing people’s identities and making charges on his own donors’ credit cards without their authorization, lying to the FEC and, by extension, the public about the financial state of his campaign," U.S. Attorney Breon Peace said in a statement in May.

"Santos falsely inflated the campaign’s reported receipts with non-existent loans and contributions that were either fabricated or stolen. This Office will relentlessly pursue criminal charges against anyone who uses the electoral process as an opportunity to defraud the public and our government institutions."

So maybe he should not only be booted from Congress. Maybe he needs to get his toothbrush ready and packed for a stint in the clink.

Andrew Cuomo pretends to be a socialist then minimizes Democratic socialism

New York Gov. and 'Special Needs Politician' Andrew Cuomo campaigned so far to the left in this primary, people may have thought he was running for president of Venezuela. But on Friday, he slammed into New York's Democratic socialist [aka socialist] wave after easily beating his gubernatorial challenger, and lesbian actress, Cynthia Nixon. He pretended to dismiss the socialist movement by referring to it as "not even a ripple."

"That is a revolution," the block of wood named Cuomo said of his win. "That is a wave. On the numbers. Not on some Twittersphere dialogue where I tweet you and you tweet me and between the two of us, we think we have a wave. We're not even a ripple," he added cryptically, or in his secret language that only he and his brother Chris share.

But let's be real, Democratic socialists are beating long-standing establishment candidates all across the country, and Cuomo is one of those long-standing politicians.

[Chris Stirewalt of Fox News put it nicely about Cuomo saying that "He was born on third base and everyone thinks he hit a triple," referring to the fact that he's the former New York Gov., Mario Cuomo's son.]

He was a big target for the far left but he won due to his name and Hillary Clinton's backing along with several tons of money.

He pontificated to reporters on Friday, trying to present himself as the pragmatic progressive [which is an oxymoron], rather than a "pontificator."

Cuomo bragged about his progressive achievements on minimum wage, gun control and same-sex marriage, which insinuates that he's not a good Catholic nor an expert in economics.

His opponent, socialist Cynthia Nixon said Cuomo dove to the left to fend off her campaign, calling it the "Cynthia Effect," and she's correct. Sadly, the entire Democratic Party is morphing into the Democratic Socialist Party because leftists want everything handed to them.

Cuomo the New York Daily News:

"A progressive Democrat, a Democrat in New York state, these are not ivory tower academics, these are not pontificators, these are not people who live in the abstract or theoretical. 

"New York Democrats, these are hard-working men and women, they're middle class, they're working families, they have real problems, and they need real help in life, and they don't need theoretical or abstract solutions, they need real solutions in their lives."

Although he clearly attacked Nixon, Andy Boy Cuomo also took a swipe at Alexandria "Blame-it-on-the-Bossa-Nova-Ocasio-Cortez, another Democratic socialist who doesn't know the difference between socialism and democratic socialism, or excrement from Shinola. But she's young, not frumpy like Hillary, and Bernie loves her.

Due to her poverty of economic expertise, she has become the darling of the left and Cuomo went after her before Bill Clinton got a chance.

"I am not a socialist. I am not 25 years old. [I believe Cortez is actually 26]. I am not a newcomer. But I am a progressive, and I deliver progressive results."

And those results can be viewed in Chicago, Detroit and San Francisco.

Cuomo will face Republican Marc Molinaro and Independent Stephanie Miller in November. He will win--New Yorkers are clueless.
