    @LuFins-Dad said in George Santos Charged:

    Nothing there about ethics committees, convictions, etc… Would you say Gaetz’s attacks on McConnell were disorderly?

    I realize that. IT's their house and they make the rules.

    Gaetz? Disorderly? Of course.
    Lurch hasn't been out of line that I've seen, other than his attire.
    Tlaib...yeah.

    The majority controls the committees, and I have little doubt that they will, um, suggest to their members to follow the lines that leadership should be followed.

    (too lazy to look it up)

    Have there been similar findings by the ethics committee in the past where members have not been expelled?

    I just meant that I could see Lurch voting for Tlaib to be removed, but as Jon pointed out, wrong group…

        It seems like Santos went above and beyond what any of these other characters did.

        There have been only six members expelled from the House.

        Three of those fought for the Confederacy.

            Well I do think the system of removing the party whip is much better, but it seems like this had cross party support

            I was only joking

              The saying, "Lite is just one damn thing after another," is a gross understatement. The damn things overlap.

                  Remarkable, isn't it? He's coherent, pleasant-ish.

                  Now all he needs is a good-fitting suit.

                    Ann Althouse comments:


                    We were kicking him, and he moved his ass.

                    "Pelosi calls Santos a ‘coward’ for leaving chamber before expulsion vote closed" (The Hill).

                    “This is not a casual vote for us. It’s something you take very seriously and and he should have taken it seriously,” Pelosi told reporters following the vote, adding that he “should have been man about it.”

                    Be a man — I hadn't heard that in a while.

                    Was that a one-time pot shot, just for Santos? He's gay, right? On any other day, you'd be canceled for advising the gay man... or any man... to "be a man." But on very special days, there's one person who liberates everyone to say what they really think.

                        Days after the House of Representatives voted to expel Santos, the former congressman has already taken up a side gig recording personalized videos for a fee on the Cameo website. One of his first customers, it seems, was Fetterman, who then posted the video Santos recorded on Instagram.

                        "I thought my ethically-challenged colleague @senatormenendez could use some encouragement given his substantial legal problems," Fetterman said of the video he commissioned. "So, I approached a seasoned expert on the matter to give 'Bobby from Jersey' some advice."

                        (From what I heard, George Santos did not know it was specifically for Sen. Menendez and did not know if was from Sen. Fetterman. Also, I heard that Mr. Santos has made a TON of money doing these Cameo videos at USD$350 per video - like $250000 in the last couple of days)

                                        I keep waiting for Derek Guy to comment.

                                        And, his shirts are fake!!!!

                                        "I've been using the sweater over the collared shirt, which, by the way, the dress shirt is fake," Santos said in a radio interview with Cindy Adams over the weekend, which we here at Esquire listened to so you don't have to. (A hat tip to Michael Gold of The New York Times for flagging the admission on Twitter.)

                                        "It's a T-shirt with a collar and cuff links," Santos continued. (He also added that "there's a bunch of those bozos in Washington now that use the same look," so kudos to him for being a trendsetter, I guess.)

                                          I didn't think that a look that elegant and sophisticated could be for real.

                                          I was only joking
