My god. This deliciously tasty excerpt:
In various campaign biographies, a résumé and interviews, Mr. Santos said he graduated from Baruch College in New York City, where he was a volleyball star on a championship team. He boasted of working at Citigroup and Goldman Sachs and amassing personal wealth. He claimed to be descended from Holocaust refugees; that his mother was in the World Trade Center during the Sept. 11 attacks; and that he lost four employees in the Pulse nightclub shooting in Orlando.
None of those claims were true.
There’s a reason why there are so many memes about this guy:
How dare you sully the name of Sir Ulrich von Lichtenstein!
Jesus, after all the shit that has been uncovered about this fucker, 114 voted “No” to throw him out?
Investigate those 114 motherfuckers.

It’s not rocket science. The only publicly said reason it’s never happened before is they want to respect the decision of their constituents. Unofficially, nobody wanted to see themselves on that chopping block.
From a political scientist game theory point of view it’s possible that a majority faction of party A throws a minority faction of Party A on the chopping block and Party B obliges them because they think they can pick up those voters.
So yeah, a lot of resistance to actually unseating someone. For good and bad reasons.

As with most things American the more likely explanation is we played ourselves
This dude was a straight russian psy-op right?
Well, he claims to be gay, but the rest is spot-on
Hey everyone, so here’s the deal with Santos aka Kitara Ravache: he’s totally heading back to Brazil, probably to chill on a reality show. But the real game plan? He’s gonna make bank selling some sketchy stuff and, get this, he’s got a pretty good chance of landing a gig as a deputy back there
I refuse to believe the KGB has that much of a sense of humor.
Wow it finally happened. Now I wonder if they’ll take away his Grammy, 2 Oscar’s, MTV Movie Award, Nickelodeon Teen Choice Award, and induction into the Grand Ole Opry.
He never said any of those things. He just didn’t correct you when you said them.
You can’t just kick a Galactic Emperor out of Congress, WTF?
He’s not our Lord zaphod beeble brox, he’s one hoopy frood
So there’s finally a line: “you must be this shit to get fired”. I expect a lot of people toeing up to it.
Now convict him of his crimes so he doesn’t have any of the other perks of Congress.
According to factcheck.org
Members of Congress are eligible for a pension at age 62 if they have completed at least five years of service.
He didn’t last a year…
And he went home and masturbated and the world went on like nothing happened.
Seriously wtf, is this the actual end?
Goodbye to Rep. Evil Pee Wee Herman. He was often hilarious, but he had to go. 
You shouldn’t sully Pee Wee Herman’s good name with this man, lol.
I did say Evil Pee Wee Herman 
Probably can’t even grow a proper evil goatee.
Too much Botox
Poor guy, he’s never going to have good work references.
Which two Democrats voted against expulsion and which two voted Present?
According to NYT, Robert Scott of VA and Nikema Williams of GA voted No.
Al Green of TX and Jonathan Jackson of IL votes Present
Sheila Jackson Lee (TX), AOC (NY) and Dean Phillips (MN) have no vote recorded
https://www.nytimes.com/interactive/2023/12/01/us/politics/santos-expulsion-vote.html
Overall vote tally:
98% (206) of Democrats voted yes (to expell)
1% (2) voted No
1% (2) voted present
49% (105) of Republicans voted to expel
51% (112) of Republicans voted No
I’m betting AOC is because they’re both from NY and they’re very close geographically. Definitely seems like a conflict of interest
She voted to expel him last time. I’m assuming she just wasn’t there today.
Probably. They can’t all be there for every session
That’s a weak excuse.
So just like any other government job, it was porn at work that does a person in.
He needs jail time for his theft and fraud.
That’s still in the works. Congress doesn’t have control over that.
It’s about time!
Or did they… apparently the NY Times source was a Mr. George Santos…
