will he still do his podcast
Who?
If only someone had an article which explained it clearly. Oh well! ¯\_(ツ)_/¯
Woooosh
Worthy of a crosspost to wholesomenews.
Good suggestion!
Time to wait for Trump to try to pardon him
Probably by EOD
I don’t follow American politics too much but didn’t this guy claim Trump would pardon him? Not that he would, but the belief I think was being held by him that he would.
He said he won’t ask Trump for a pardon since he doesn’t think he’ll be granted one.
But this is Santos we’re talking about. He’ll definetly try.
I’m surprised he hasn’t claimed diplomatic immunity, as heir to the Swedish Throne
You jest but the current line of monarchs of Sweden was a guy who basically fumbled his way upward. He was a mediocre marshall under Napoleon, whom after the battle of Austerlitz got a princedom from him.
Then Sweden list their only heir presumptive for the throne. Due to the lobbying of a single Baron Jean Bernadotte became king of Sweden.
He is the only Napoleonic related person who has a lasting legacy the European upper class.
It’s almost a Soros story, but in real life
I was aware, he never actually misrepresented himself at all, but was simply in the right place at the right time, and knew the right people. He also got elected to be the heir to the Swedish Throne, so had to convince a bunch of other stuffy inbred nobles that he looked good in a robe, which needed a bit of political savvy.
He put in more work to become a Crown Prince than all the others, who simply came out of the right vagina.
Oh yeah, absolutely. More competent as king than as Marshall tbh. The fact that his story is so rare says a lot about the misguided system that is the monarchy.
It also says a lot that the first thing he did was to turn on his former emperor. Prime ‘fuck you, got mine’ mindset.
The fact that his story is so rare says a lot about the misguided system that is the monarchy.
It only happened because the prior King was unable to produce an heir through the normal methods. (Refreshing my memory from Bernadotte’s Wikipedia entry, it was kind of tragic; two of the King’s children died young, a third adopted child died early also, and apparently this King wasn’t willing to trade in his Queen for a younger model…)

But the fundamental issue with hereditary Monarchy is that it makes the assumption that if a great King unites a people under his iron fists, his direct descendants will be great too. (And the firstborn, to boot).
So it will be interesting to observe the dynamic going in Rome in the next few weeks. Aside from the religious implications, the Vatican is it’s own country, with an Absolute Monarch who is elected by the nobles every time it needs a new one. But since the Church’s nobles are celibate (at least officially, winks at camera), they cannot rely on heredity at all so they are all appointed directly by the monarch. Coupled with an age limit on voting, it means that the last pope has personally installed a majority of the Cardinals who will name his successor. They will elect a man who they will agree to be totally subservient to once elected…
I dug into it a little bit, it’s a plea deal so there won’t be any appeals delaying things. I don’t know if good behavior early release is a thing for federal prison, if it is he’ll probably get out early. Still, at least somebody’s going to jail for once.
Not because he was a POS to the American People tho, because he said a bunch of shit about his other house members and pissed them off. The only way to actually go to jail is to not play their game.
He’ll get good time which is 20% so he’ll have to serve 80% of her sentence in a federal prison which will be a prison camp for sure. He may also opt into 6-12 months of halfway house which I would advocate against but he won’t. And if not a camp then a satellite facitly either in Georgia or Ohio.
It’s easy time.
Haha suck it, rot scum
One day I hope for a world without prisons but meanwhile, while we’re living in Hell that I have no hand in making, at least one guy deserves to be there.
I can think of at least a dozen or so
They’ll be the last ones let go when we break everyone free
“Hold up buddy, the first busses out of here are for people who didn’t deserve it. You get to stew a while.”
The people I’m referring to are not currently in there. In fact they’re running the US government.
Gotcha
It’s a toss up if they even make it in there.
Which jail and when? I’d like to line up to point & laugh at him on the bus heading in.
According to George himself, he’ll be residing at a luxury resort prison he designed and built himself in the Algarve.
Incoming pardon
Pardon a former drag performer? Magats would shit a brick
Consistent behavior/morals? You overestimate them.
Nah, it’s just 5d chess. You wouldn’t get it. Think of those screaming libs.
/s
As his political career nosedived, prosecutors charged Santos with 23 federal counts over several criminal schemes. He took a deal last summer that included pleading guilty to wire fraud and aggravated identity theft.
As part of his plea deal, Santos admitted to filing false campaign finance reports, charging donors’ credit cards without authorization and fraudulently receiving unemployment benefits, among other things, saying he was taking responsibility for the “lies I have told myself.”
He also agreed as part of the deal to pay nearly $374,000 in restitution and a forfeiture judgment of roughly $205,000.
Oh that must be why they have him in handcuffs at a secure facility. I would gladly take “7 years of George Santos prison time” over this reality.
HAHAHAHAHAHAHA couldn’t have happened to a more deserving shitstain
“But saying I’m sorry doesn’t require me to sit quietly while these prosecutors try to drop an anvil on my head. True remorse isn’t mute; it is aware of itself, and it speaks up when the penalty scale jumps into the absurd"
How’s that working out for ya?
I read that as Soros and was very excited for a second or so.
Hell probably drop the soap on purpose
