(The Borowitz Report)—In a speech to the House of Representatives, George Santos disclosed that he is an M1 Abrams battle tank.
Representative Santos apologized for not previously including his battle-tank status on his résumé, calling the omission a “careless error.”
Describing his many outstanding features, Santos said that he is equipped with two six-barrel smoke-grenade launchers and an AN/VLQ-6 Missile Countermeasure Device.
“The Ukrainians have called battle tanks the punching fist of democracy,” Santos said. “I, George Santos, am that fist.”
In recognition of Santos’s career as an M1 Abrams battle tank, House Speaker Kevin McCarthy named him the chairman of the House Armed Services Committee.

Santos will be good at cold fusion, so he's on the right committee.

Justice Department asks FEC to stand down as prosecutors probe Santos
Source: Washington Post
The Justice Department has asked the Federal Election Commission to hold off on any enforcement action against George Santos, the Republican congressman from New York who lied about key aspects of his biography, as prosecutors conduct a parallel criminal probe, according to two people familiar with the request.
The request, which came from the Justice Department’s Public Integrity Section, is the clearest sign to date that federal prosecutors are examining Santos’s campaign finances.
The Justice Department request also asked that the FEC provide any relevant documents to the Justice Department, according to the knowledgeable people, who spoke on the condition of anonymity because of the matter’s sensitivity.
A Justice Department spokeswoman declined to comment. An FEC spokeswoman said the regulator “cannot comment on enforcement.” Neither Santos nor his attorney responded to requests for comment.

That. Explains this.
We Tried to Call the Top Donors to George Santos' 2020 Campaign. Many Don't Seem to Exist
In September 2020, George Santos’ congressional campaign reported that Victoria and Jonathan Regor had each contributed $2,800—the maximum amount—to his first bid for a House seat. Their listed address was 45 New Mexico Street in Jackson Township, New Jersey.
A search of various databases reveals no one in the United States named Victoria or Jonathan Regor. Moreover, there is nobody by any name living at 45 New Mexico Street in Jackson. That address doesn’t exist. There is a New Mexico Street in Jackson, but the numbers end in the 20s, according to Google Maps and a resident of the street.
Santos’ 2020 campaign finance reports also list a donor named Stephen Berger as a $2,500 donor and said he was a retiree who lived on Brandt Road in Brawley, California. But a spokesperson for William Brandt, a prominent rancher and Republican donor, tells Mother Jones that Brandt has lived at that address for at least 20 years and “neither he or his wife (the only other occupant [at the Brandt Road home]) have made any donations to George Santos. He does not know Stephen Berger nor has Stephen Berger ever lived at…Brandt Road.”
The Regor and Berger contributions are among more than a dozen major donations to the 2020 Santos campaign for which the name or the address of the donor cannot be confirmed, a Mother Jones investigation found. A separate $2,800 donation was attributed in Santos’ reports filed with the Federal Election Commission to a friend of Santos who says he did not give the money.
Under federal campaign finance law, it is illegal to donate money using a false name or the name of someone else. “It’s called a contribution in the name of another,” says Saurav Ghosh, the director for federal campaign finance reform at the Campaign Legal Center, a nonpartisan watchdog group. “It’s something that is explicitly prohibited under federal law.”

George Santos is going to jail sooner than later.

pretty sure it was right to the 'pain clinic' but I'd have to check my records...Isn't that the nail salon with the "happy ending" massage parlor in the back, where they nailed a famous NFL owner for consorting with hookers??

Has it occurred to anyone that this whole George Santos 'thing' could just be a huge well-planned diversionary tactic by the GOP?
"Look at George. Hey, look at George, while we're busy fucking you over in broad daylight and you're not noticing."

The general rule is that Republicans get credit for that which they haven't done and Democrats get blame for what Republicans did.

Whoopsies. The New Pride of New York may be going through some things.
The campaign irregularities are so brazen, and on behalf of such an obviously dishonest candidate, I find myself wondering what kind of things are done without notice? After all, this was only noticed because his lies are over the top even by Rupublican standards. After his victory people started looking into his various crimes, and noticed his election was openly bought with poorly laundered money.
This begs the question, what are the smart criminals doing? How much foreign money has paid for what policy. China’s economic miracle? Israel‘s ability to hold a people captive on their own land? Kuwait war? The Saudi kingdom obviously owned several prominent American leaders. We have a problem.
