The hostage came out safe and the gunwoman is dead.
How do people even have the balla to record this?? I'd be too worried she'd turn that gun on me.

George Santos has finally admitted to lying about his University degrees, places of employment and coming from a Jewish family that fled the holocaust, basically lied about the vast majority of his resume.
The Republican Jewish Coalition did denounce him, but the majority of Republicans/ are staying quiet or supporting him.
Remember when Elizabeth Warren being wrong about being part Native American was an unthinkable and unforgivable act by the Right.
If it was to further his career, wouldn't that prove being an "oppressed minority" can actually have advantages?

yup. who can forget trump the narcissist cult leader ordered his f*cktarded minions to label her "pocahontas". they were awfully mad over it. BIG mad, even. complete with endless all-caps raging word salads. but now we hear not so much as the faintest "reeeee" over santos. how completely expected

Apparently Tulsi Gabbard went after George Santos in a Fox news interview, but he deflected questions and turned himself into the victim. Which is standard for Rightist.
His Republican colleges in congress are still remaining silent and waiting for it all to pass. Zero integrity from that lot. Absolute zero.
yeah he did the old "but der left". he must be really confused since the strategy worked so well up until now

TBF, it's working with the Right, as they by and large don't care that Santos lied about his schooling, work history, his religion and having relatives that survived the Holocaust.
As I can't see Kevin McCarthy asking him to resign over ethics violations, while they screamed over Al Franken's shitty and tasteless, but not actual rape, photos, and Franken resigned.
Two experiments recently found that children of conservative parents were more willing to punish children who were not members of their group for transgressions.
"We found that children's likelihood of punishing someone from their own group versus someone from a different group varied by the political ideology of their parents.
Specifically, children of liberal parents were more likely to punish members of their own group than the other group, whereas children of conservative parents were more likely to punish members of the other group than their own group."
In other words, children of liberal parents are more likely to hold members of their own group accountable, whereas children of conservative parents were more likely to ignore the transgressions of members of their own group, and severely punish members of the other group.
It is as I have said all along, "Conservatism consists of exactly one proposition: There must be in-groups whom the law protects but does not bind, alongside out-groups whom the law binds but does not protect."
That is it: petty tribalism; that is all there is to it. Protect the in-group at all costs, while being maximally harmful to all out-groups. They are trash.
More false claims from George Santos about his work, education and family history emerge -CNN
George Santos said 9/11 ‘claimed my mother’s life.’ She died in 2016. -WaPo
U.S. Rep.-elect George Santos of New York was under investigation by Long Island prosecutors on Wednesday, after revelations surfaced that the now-embattled Republican lied about his heritage, education and professional pedigree as he campaigned for office. -NPR
What's the likelihood that the conman who lied about everything also committed campaign finance fraud...
Not sure how any experiment on subjectives can ever really be accurate.
All I know is a friends wife literally forced her husband to break ties with a friend over a political argument. Do I think she represents all Democrats, no I do not. Could I find "studies" that say Democrats are authoritarians, yes I can and have.
Unless you can read minds or are omniscient we'll never really know who is "worse".

I'm sure Santos meant that when his mother died in 2016, it was from a broken heart over 9/11, not that she died in the towers/attack and I'm sure his campaign fiances are all on the up and up.
oh i get it. his mom found out that he's being funded by the same saudis who attacked nyc on 9/11 and it drove her to an early grave. is that what he meant?

This proves our identity politics has gone too far.
No one would argue it repugnant to say "I will only vote for this skin color/ethnicity", or against such. The fact he lied and got votes, proves people WILL vote based on those things.
The fact people still do this, even if it's to vote for a Jew, is repugnant.
And also unfixable.

He also said he employed four people who were killed in the June 2016 Pulse Night Club shooting in Orlando, a claim the Times was unable to substantiate. -snip
An animal rescue charity Santos claimed to run was not registered as a nonprofit with the IRS. -snip
Santos claims he is now married to a man, though no records have been found substantiating this. -snip
in 2020, when he earned $55,000 at a company called LinkBridge Investors. Santos’s most recent disclosure lists a salary of $750,000 from the Devolder Organization, an LLC he created in May 2021. Santos loaned his campaign more than $700,000 this cycle. -snip
According to campaign finance disclosures, Santos’s campaign raised just under $400,000 from individuals and organizations in Florida. -snip
It's like Santos is attempting to beat Trump at being a habitual and pathological liar. No wonder he fits in so well with the Right.
Hopefully they're able to bring him down over his shady campaign financial dealings. The other stuff is just pathetic lies the Right happily eats up.
is his name really "george santos"? seems like everthing about him should be called into question at this point

I know this is going to be shocking, but the list of George Santos' lies has just grown and grown and it seems some high ranking prominent Republicans knew about it while he was running and just looked the other way. I know, another shocking revelation.
George Santos' backers include a migrant smuggler, a big Trump donor and the cousin of a sanctioned Russian oligarch -CBS
Interesting. There's also questions of whether he used campaign funding for personal expenses, which is against the law.
Small business panel chair defends seat for freshman despite claim fabulist congressman bilked veteran out of $3,000 to save dog’s life
The chairman of one of two House committees on which George Santos will sit has defended the decision, despite the New York Republican’s résumé having been shown to be largely made up, and amid allegations of deceitful and criminal behaviour now including bilking a disabled veteran out of $3,000 raised to save the life of his dog, and fabricating a story about his mother surviving the 9/11 attacks.
The disabled veteran, Richard Osthoff, told the news site Patch he was “crying his eyes out remembering Sapphire’s last day”. -snip
Of course they're still defending Santos, they love a conman and swindler.
According to a new report, Republican Representative George Santos went by the name "Kitara" when he performed in drag during his youth in Brazil.
Santos is said to have used the name Anthony Devolder—an alias he is accused of using to allegedly swindle money from a fundraising campaign for a veteran's sick dog.
According to reporter Marisa Kabas, Santos also used the first name Anthony during his youth in Brazil. Kabas reported the now-34-year-old also dressed in drag and used the name "Kitara Ravanche."
