I love that “No one can stand him” Is a good reason for expulsion. The human trafficking wasn’t enough.

Welcome to the discussion of US Politics!
Rules:
- Post only links to articles, Title must fairly describe link contents. If your title differs from the site’s, it should only be to add context or be more descriptive. Do not post entire articles in the body or in the comments.
Links must be to the original source, not an aggregator like Google Amp, MSN, or Yahoo.
Example:
- Articles must be relevant to politics. Links must be to quality and original content. Articles should be worth reading. Clickbait, stub articles, and rehosted or stolen content are not allowed. Check your source for Reliability and Bias here.
- Be civil, No violations of TOS. It’s OK to say the subject of an article is behaving like a (pejorative, pejorative). It’s NOT OK to say another USER is (pejorative). Strong language is fine, just not directed at other members. Engage in good-faith and with respect! This includes accusing another user of being a bot or paid actor. Trolling is uncivil and is grounds for removal and/or a community ban.
- No memes, trolling, or low-effort comments. Reposts, misinformation, off-topic, trolling, or offensive. Similarly, if you see posts along these lines, do not engage. Report them, block them, and live a happier life than they do. We see too many slapfights that boil down to "Mom! He's bugging me!" and "I'm not touching you!" Going forward, slapfights will result in removed comments and temp bans to cool off.
- Vote based on comment quality, not agreement. This community aims to foster discussion; please reward people for putting effort into articulating their viewpoint, even if you disagree with it.
- No hate speech, slurs, celebrating death, advocating violence, or abusive language. This will result in a ban. Usernames containing racist, or inappropriate slurs will be banned without warning

All posts and comments will be reviewed on a case-by-case basis. This means that some content that violates the rules may be allowed, while other content that does not violate the rules may be removed. The moderators retain the right to remove any content and ban users.
That's all the rules!

Fucking a teenager is why Republicans want to allow child marriage. His only crime to them was not marrying her after he trafficked her. That's forgivable. Being unbearable might possibly not be.
Rape, fraud, etc is fine because it doesn't affect them. Him causing the Reps to not vote uniformly and needing Dem help is a catastrophe.
His only crime to them was not marrying her after he trafficked her.
Oh, they don't care about that. Conservative men can molest and rape whoever they like with no obligation to marry anybody.

And if he isn't a Russian asset, he certainly acts like one.

No on can stand him
Get rid of him
He fucks an underage prostitute
crickets
"fucks an underage" has a name. It's "rape".
Well, statutory rape. I’m not trying to let him off easy, but semantics are important
I'm also more fond of something like "Sexually assaulted a minor" or "engaged in sex with a child". You know, something that hammers home what he did.

Statutory rape is rape. It's in the name.
It is deemed that an underage person (child) is not able to make decision of this sort. Similarly to an intoxicated person.
I will continue to call it rape, sorry.

"Underage prostitute" is more like "a trafficked minor."
If they aren't getting rid of George Santos they are not getting rid of Matt Gaetz. Honor among theives.
I think the difference is that Santos is willing to go along with whatever the Republicans think will keep their majority. Gaetz is willing to burn it all down if it gets him extra social media points right now.
This isn't really about ethics violations, it's about a Republican threatening his party's chances of keeping power.
I can’t stand just hearing about him in the news, I can’t imagine what it’d be like to work with such a prick in office, knowing the guy is such a sleazebag as he is.
It's kind of conflicting because I hate him, but I also love how much the Republicans (especially McCarthy) hate him.

It's nice that the House has its own Ted Cruz.
He has a very punchable face.
There's just something wrong with his face. It's like some alien put together a human but they'd only ever heard descriptions.
It is like his facial features are clustered in the center of his face

This guy tries to exert way too much influence for someone who only won his last race because both candidates were under active criminal investigation.
Seems like the timing is a little off on the third criminal investigation.
A pox on both houses
Let them destroy each other. I'll make popcorn.
Ahhh yes. Now his politics don't align with yours, his ethics finally matter. Classic.
No one can stand Gaetz and his inner circle. They are fucking immature assholes.
House republicans hate paedo gaetz in the same way everyone in America hates house republicans. No one can stand any of those pricks either.
I'll believe it when I see it.
I can't stand looking at his stupid face either
I'm sure Faux News will hire DollarStore Beavis right away.
Get it straight--he looks more like Dollar Store Butthead.

Just compile a list of things he accuses Democrats of, and you know what to look for in his case.

If they do and don't elect a Republican to replace him, and if they expel Santos and his replacement in the special election isn't a republican, there goes the GOP majority
Odds of the house GOP giving up their majority/control are exceedingly low. If there's one thing they'll prioritize, it's keeping their own power
I increasingly believe that they don't actually care. For the hardliners, keeping a majority is like a distant second place motivation to just keeping their own jobs, and they are under bigger threat from the right in these districts. Really, the house majority probably ranks like third or fourth somewhere between "get book deal where the RNC buys 100k copies" and "take bribes from Russia." All things which are arguably easier as an opposition party which doesn't actually have to govern.
How very...Late Roman Republic.
Hope they pull the trigger simultaneously.
