George Santos’ victory tells a sad story about the state of local news

https://www.msnbc.com/opinion/msnbc-opinion/george-santos-win-highlights-sad-state-local-news-rcna62849

 

“When Santos unsuccessfully ran for the same seat in 2020, he reported having “no assets or earned income.” For his 2022 campaign, the newspaper notes, Santos reported assets worth between $2.6 and $11 million and reported loaning that campaign $700,000. How did Santos go from nothing to millionaire status in two short years? There is no clear answer but we need one given that with this newfound wealth Santos largely funded his 2022 campaign.”

“According to The New York Times, after he lost the 2020 election, Santos worked in various financial ventures including one sued by the Securities and Exchange Commission for being a Ponzi scheme. (Santos was not personally named in that lawsuit.) Per his congressional disclosure filing, he then created a company called The Devolder Organization that paid him a salary of $750,000. But according to the Times, that company had no assets and was thereafter dissolved for failing to file an annual corporate report. There must be an investigation to determine the source of the funds Santos loaned his campaign to ensure it was not an attempt to circumvent federal election laws, including laws that prohibit straw donors.”

 

This guy's been bought and paid for. The new Congress should refuse to seat him.

Wow, Matt, this guy was not just a Russian politician or political writer.  He was the President of Russia, and Putin's hand picked protege. I'm  not sure how their government works, but at the time I thought he was hand picked by Putin as a puppet to maneuver around a 2 term limit, which after a term Putin reassumed power and eventually got rid of the term limits law. But I might be wrong.

Now this guy is just another 2 bit xxxxx, and crazy one at that.

 

The Presidency of Dmitry Medvedev began on 8 May 2008, when he became the 3rd President of the Russian Federation. Medvedev was the Head of the Presidential Administration during the 2nd term of Vladimir Putin as president, and the Chairman of Gazprom oil company.

Medvedev is mistaking the Gerasimov strategy playbook for reality.

His ignorance is scary, but also kind of funny.

Texas forming an allied state with Mexico-- with Ted Cruz as El Presidente?  🤥

Ron,

     Look on the bright side.  In the new, allied state of Texaco, El Presidente Cruz would no longer have to worry about border security or illegal aliens!  🤪

And he wouldn't need a passport to go to Cancun.

The guy should be out of office in another month.

Especially if anyone seriously investigates his massive financial gains in just two years, for sure.

A sign of our times.

[Southwest Airlines] chief executive officer Bob Jordan saw his annual compensation package increase to $9.1 million in 2022.

"Meanwhile, thousands of Southwest customers have been stranded in airports around the country in recent days, with little knowledge of where their luggage is or when they will be able to reach their destination."
