He’s a slimeball no doubt, but....I keep noticing how Democrats never face any consequences from our legal system for far worse, while Republicans are hounded to the ends of the earth.

Two tier justice system. Ergo, illegitimate justice system.

Just took 4 months to put Santos in jail.

The Biden family is still skating free.

Unlike all the other congresscritters that arrive with virtually nothing, and in a matter of a few years are worth 5 to 10 million or more, all on 180 grand a year.

“relying on repeated dishonesty and deception to ascend to the halls of Congress and enrich himself,”

General description of a politician.

Uh, Biden, anyone? Almost every single one serving in Congress?

Most all of them rely “on repeated dishonesty and deception to ascend to the halls of Congress and enrich” themselves, but especially Biden.

He's a small fry compared to the Biden influence peddling scandal.

"enrich himself," a U.S. attorney said

"Dumb schmuck just doesn't know how to do it. What do you think, Dad? We could make another fortune running training seminars."

Anyone notice that Santos was arrested at EXACTLY the same time GOP Congressmen were giving a news briefing on Biden family corruption and 2020 election interference?

Just a coincidence, I am sure.

It’s members of the Ultra Far Left Dung Beetle Party that are charging him, right? The same turd rollers out there trying to lynch Justice Thomas and his white wife in order to take control of SCOTUS. Just asking for a friend.

"relying on repeated dishonesty and deception to ascend to the halls of Congress and enrich himself,"

This argument could be made against almost every last elected person in this country...

meanwhile outright murder, treason, trafficking of
women and children, and torturing children
to eat their adrenochrome are NOT ONLY IGNORED
but are funded.

because at night, in the dark, the DO”J” “sleeps”
to protect its criminals.
