Nearly 60 new House members say they will vote to expel Santos
Another 20 or so and his impeachment is pretty much guaranteed.

I particularly like this quote:
That's the type of political honesty I like.
He needs to grab some pussy fast.
He needs to start having sexual relations
because i was curious...
only five people have been expelled from the house and three of those were from the confederacy at the start of the civil war

He will resign once the Republican votes get to 80.
He will be the first Republican
Good. It took way to long for this to occur.
Technically, this isn't an impeachment vote. It's an expulsion vote. And there are no other steps or trials after this one. If 2/3 of the House votes to expel him, he's gone.
This dude is a real-life Rodger from American Dad.
From the meteoric rise fueled by zillions of lies to the epic crash to earth. The writers of that show couldn't have written a better story ark.
Unfortunately for him, he's not a fictional TV Alien and is looking at some serious time.
"The name is Reaganomics Lamborghini"
As a Rodger fan I'm going to take some offense to that entirely accurate, well analyzed, perfectly explained comparison 😂
technically real life rodger from american dad was paul lynde and paul lynde is way too good to be compared to santos :P
He looks like a henchman from Who Framed Roger Rabbit. At the end he reveals he was a toon the whole time.
We'll see but somehow I doubt enough Republicans will do the right thing.
An apt selection for the thumbnail
What's up with this dude? I feel like he's a completely different shape in every single picture I've ever seen of him.
He's like a quantom fact, there is no detail he will not lie about, to include his height, weight or ethnicity.
It's like the GOP tried to lab grow the perfect republican, but they cut all the education funding and medical grants so this is what crawled out of the fucking tube, and he escape the lab when he told security he was a republican so they let him pass.
Looks like a young Jiminy Glick here
Dumbass. It's proven that if you're gonna grift the whole country, you gotta aim for the top office in the land.
He's got the perfect "Uhhhhhhhh I dun't know!" resting face.
him being a charlatan is old news! he was in there doing government this whole time??
When they get back from Thansgiving, the order in the hopper will be recognized as privileged which will start a two day clock to a vote for expulsion.
"padded his own pockets with campaign money, falsely reported personal loans to his campaign and failed to properly file his financial disclosure forms."
Is this all the dude did, or is it like the trump shenanigans where this is all that they can get to stick, but there's probably a lot more...?
Some of the things he used campaign finance for is OF subs.
Like, if you’re gonna do it, at least use it for food and stuff- you can still use the money you save for OF…
I feel like that would be hilarious if it wasn't reality. I still kind of chuckled when I found out.
I'm kinda curious as to who he subbed to. It'd be even better if it was a knitting show, or something totally PG.
I hope the creator knows and puts it in their promo work
Hes been running scams and commiting fraud since he was in highschool.
