New York is overrun by an endless crime wave unleashed by Democrats who decided that criminals were the real victims and should be set free and no longer locked up for minor offenses like shoplifting or violent assault, have dedicated all the state’s prosecutorial resources to investigating Republicans.
This time out it’s Rep. George Santos whose absurd lies have been front page material for a week.
Why an obscure New York freshman congressman’s lies should be a national focus and not the president repeatedly telling crazy lies whose scope is entirely incomprehensible is one obvious question.
Earlier this month, Biden told an entire story about awarding his own uncle a purple heart for fighting in the Battle of the Bulge.
His uncle died ten years before Biden became vice president.
Biden began his story by saying, “My dad, when I got elected vice president.” His father died during Bush’s second year in office.
Nobody’s investigating Biden who has spent about 40 years making up lies about his background. No one’s going to go back and determine how Senator Elizabeth Warren benefited from lying about being an Indian. And yet if she’d stayed aligned with the libertarians or went right-wing, you know that they’d find an angle.
Then there’s AOC’s own fictionalized background. Sandy from Westchester was not the girl from the Bronx.
Santos probably doesn’t belong in Congress, but I’m not sure how many elected officials do. Voters did pick him and they’ll have a chance to get rid of him in a few years. Did they vote for him because they believed he was a gay Jewish man who lost his mother on 9/11? Or did they just vote against his opponents or for a change? We can find out a few years from now. But unless Santos clearly and plainly broke the law, then an investigation is a political exercise in trying to criminalize what politicians do all the time.
Like Hillary Clinton claiming to have tried to join NASA and the Marines, coming down under fire at an airport, being named after Sir Edmund Hilary, or fibbing that Chelsea was near Ground Zero on 9/11,
Politicians telling lies to make themselves seem more interesting or likable is not a crime. Although if they, like Hillary or Obama, charge people money by way of books or speeches for those lies, there may be grounds for legal action there.
It is possible to believe that Santos appears to be a clumsy con artist and that the same double standard is in play that operates the system for the benefit of one party. When that system also controls the legal system, that’s a tyranny.
Because Santos is a Republican and Warren is a Democrat. Come on, that’s an easy one.
I believe George Santos should resign from his elected position not because he lied, if a politician who lied had to resign Washington would be a ghost town, but because he was stupid. Running for office as a Republican opens one up to a colonoscopy that won’t quit. He and his advisors should have been aware of that and acted accordingly. The Republican Party has enough Judas Republicans we cannot afford to have too many stupid ones also.
Daniel, why ask why?
Happy New Year!
If we threw out all the bums, few would remain.
We don’t need no stinking investigations. Just round them up and lock them up – then throw away the key.
Oh, yes, Hillary is also a serial fabulist but you’d never know that from the msm. Her lie about being rejected by the Marines is preposterous and unquestioned by the left.
For one thing, given her political views at the time, it’s not likely that she’d have even thought about joined the armed forces and if she had, it wouldn’t have been the Marines. For another thing, this was at the beginning of the volunteer army and neither the Marines nor any other branch would have rejected a woman…they were trying to increase recruitment…and a graduate of an elite college.
Santos was elected by “hispanics” because they see him as a fellow beaner.
“Fellow beaner”??
Chupa pingo, you arrogant racist.
I’ll give you my address. You can come over and we’ll talk about it.
Game players sometimes break the rules on purpose to get their opponents to catch them. Then later when the opponent breaks the same rules. it is harder for the opponent to deny what the rules are. Santos will be performing a service if all those condemning his lies while running for office are later caught excusing the same for their candidates, office holders, and themselves if they run. Of course, the shamelessness of many of those criticizing Santos and demanding that he step down or be thrown out has been long exposed without their conceding anything..
“the same double standard is in play that operates the system for the benefit of one party.”
Chomsky was right about one thing. When the system is working in one’s favor, one tends to think of the system as benevolent, and that one’s successes are due to one’s own virtue, while looking down on people outside the system. Only when the system turns on one does one realize how bad it is.
Yes. And Chumsky only admitted the truth because the system worked against lefties when he wrote that.
That’s a good example of leftist thought and its hypocrisy. Kudos to you for suffering through his writing. I couldn’t.
