    Blaming Ginsberg seemed to start as a Republican talking point, as if it somehow excuses Mitch McConnell's dishonest, hypocritical bullshit.

    Blame the voters in Santos' district, and blame Democrats for not putting up an apparently competent candidate. This is basic oppo research stuff.

    And what a shock, Kwame Kilpatrick is on his way back into trouble. Send him back to the slammer.

    They need to change the rules. No more blocking votes. Vote on every single bill and every single appointment.

    You would think some concerned Democratic voter/citizens could be found to file suit claiming they had been defrauded of the right to vote for a legitimate candidate of their choice, the person "George Santos" does not actually exist, and demanding a court order to remove him from office (Or more specifically prevent him from ever taking office at all).

    Maybe also "George Santos" could somehow be delivered the message it would be real good for his health and safety and long term happiness if he would just pack up his shit and go home.

    I do want to know if the Zelensky trashing from Fox Prime Time hosts has an impact. It's ludicrous of course, but if it doesn't seem to gain traction - it does go to show that Fox viewers pick and choose which bullshit they decide to "believe."

    One interesting aspect of the whole George Santos thing to me is that his con wasn't just to make up a fake background, it was to tailor that fake background to a set of identity politics criteria. Almost as sad as the fact that he's a complete fraud is the fact that this is what politics have become in this country. He knew the hint of a (made up) Jewish background would sing on the North Shore of Long Island.

    The judiciary can't just remove someone from office with a court order because people are alleging that the elected official was full of shit. Democracy doesn't work that way. ... not to mention that the judicial system couldn't handle the case load of lying politicians if that spigot got opened.

    The House of Representatives could impeach him for acting improperly, and if he was convicted in a Senate impeachment trial, he could be removed from office. That won't happen, but that would be the right mode for it to happen.

    I almost get a "Just One of the Guys" vibe from him. For those familiar with the movie.

    The person who ran for office does not actually exist. It's a work of fiction.
