"a fugitive con artist working as a political fund-raiser is charged in a triple homicide"

anyway he's a fantasist who never stops lying

George Santos's official congressional bio gives the absolute bare minimum information. Contrast with, say, MTG, and the bio includes her schooling, prior employment, and where she was born https://t.co/TqqEc48icN pic.twitter.com/6UD36Xm9gL

Rep. George Santos was charged with theft in Pennsylvania’s Amish Country in 2017 after a series of bad checks were written in his name to dog breeders, according to the court and a lawyer friend who helped him address the charge.

Just days after $15,125 in checks were made out for “puppies,” according to the memo lines, Santos held an adoption event at a Staten Island pet store with his animal rescue charity Friends of Pets United, according to the store’s Instagram account and a person who attended the event.

The charge was dismissed and his record expunged after Santos claimed someone had stolen his checkbook, according to the court and the lawyer.

god its wild that there's a Congressman for whom "wrote bad checks to dog breeders" is only like the 12th weirdest thing about him

Master of puppies, I'm pulling your strings ...

We've been spending most our lives
Living in an Amish breeder hive

passing a bad chack to a puppy mill is no crime in my book

!t's crazy too how much of this shit is within the last 5 years too.

are all dog breeders considered puppy mills? (genuine q)

why was he buying puppies from breeders for a rescue event?

it's like the guy has been purposefully been trying to get a movie about him made by Adam McKay.

Breeders in Amish country are your classic puppy mills

puppy laundering, which is not as cute as it sounds

Boring otm, amish dog breeders have a reputation of being rather fucked

ah gotcha :(

Harvey Guillen as George Santos

xp I've heard the same - there's no free-trade, shade-grown puppies in Amish country

The freshman New York lawmaker, whose litany of false and misleading claims about his past has left him with few allies, even among his fellow Republicans, previously worked for an investment firm known as the Harbor City Capital Corporation. The company was shut down by the Securities and Exchange Commission (SEC), which in 2021 called it a "classic Ponzi scheme."

another notch in his grifter belt

Here's that Queens restaurant again! I'm sure the bill came out to exactly $199.99:

Santos, then a regional director for Harbor City, promptly invited her and her client to dinner, Bogosian said in "Campaign of Deceit," which was released Thursday. She said when they arrived for the meal at Il Bacco, an Italian restaurant in Queens, she was brought into a "huge room" with "one table in the middle."

"He asked for a $300,000 principal investment, and he essentially said the client was not allowed to know what it was being invested in at all," Bogosian said, adding that she didn't like the sound of it. Bogosian's client turned Santos down.

Rep Anna Paulina Luna said that her father was a “messianic Jew,” which some family members dispute, and that she has Ashkenazi heritage. Her grandfather appeared to have served in the Nazi army while a young man in Germany. ⁦@JaxAlemany⁩ https://t.co/qfY2PypSPp

new coalition?

Luna’s congressional office did not provide answers to a detailed list of questions about her biography from The Post. When approached in person on Capitol Hill last week, Luna claimed she had not received any inquiry from The Post and declined to comment further. On Friday, Luna’s communications director, Edie Heipel, emailed The Post calling the questions “bizarre” and stating “our office will not be responding to you any further.”

oops

i am preparing myself to learn that luna is a complete fraud, but also, i don't think she will face any consequences for it whatsoever, from either gop leadership or her district

On Friday, Luna’s communications director, Edie Heipel, emailed the post saying “she has been burning the candle at both ends on Capitol Hill, as she is wont to do, and the poor little thing dropped like a stone yesterday afternoon from exhaustion. She will kick my ass for saying this later, but I just wanted to let you know, and ask that you send her good thoughts.”

praying 4 u luna!

the article itself is not that bad. george santos has kind of blown the curve for everyone

Luna? A fraud?

I’m now singing this thread title to the tune of “Do You Know the Way to San Jose”

lol Jimmy

Oh sorry, didn't see that this story had already been linked upthread.

xp

tbf her grandfather was only Nazi-ish

inna Santos stylee

Personally I did NOT have Jewish Hispanic fascists on my 2023 bingo card.

I badly want out of this particular absurdist dystopian timeline.

Please, all the thousand dark gods, send another comet or meteor or whatever, we beseech thee

the stuff about how luna's account of the a break-in to her apartment (as a "home invasion") was different than what actually happened ("a break-in at their shared apartment when they were not home") also falls flat, once you read the details. someone really was breaking into their home, more than once, enough for them to stay at a different residence for several days and put baby powder outside the door to capture footprints. their drawers were opened, and there was a used condom on the floor. i would be pretty freaked out too.

also she lived in missouri and that'll traumatize anyone

it just seems like a waste of time to get into that kind of stuff when she's literally wearing an AR-15 lapel in congress

think people really sleeping on Jimmy's joke

lol

On Thursday, Santos told Newsmax that the same night, the independent Arizona senator Kyrsten Sinema was “very polite, very kindhearted” and said: “Hang in there buddy.”

On Friday, a spokesperson for Sinema told CNN: “This is a lie.”

xp Yeah, I was doing a double take scrolling up on the thread, too.

lolol what DOESN'T he lie about

lol Jimmy
