Santos was a piece of crap, but the people voted for him. He was never convicted and, as mentioned elsewhere in this thread, plenty of his scumbaggery wasn't criminal anyway. Most of Congress are criminals too, so what's the point? My issue isn't whether or not Santos was a good guy, it's the process used to remove him, and over what "crimes."
He never should have been voted in in the first place, in my opinion. But, once he's there...the people have spoken. That's how representation works. Removing him as they did is a slap in the face of everyone who voted for him...and anyone who wants a workable system in general.
Also, are we applying this evenly (of course we aren't)? Because Biden is now even more of a blatant corrupt piece of shit than we knew back in 2020. If we're removing people from voted positions due to allegations...we gotta have a special election for a new president.
I hate like 90% of the GOP. Which is like 10% less than I did a while back, so in that sense it's a massive improvement...but I still hate those slimy fucks.

Don't forget Bob Menendez. He's been indicted over shit that's above and beyond standard politician criminality and they haven't done a thing to remove him because Manchin only rubber stamps the pedos they're packing the courts with 95% of the time. The GOP is fucking itself on that case as well by wringing its hands about "due process" when they didn't even extend that benefit to one of their own and could never expect reciprocal treatment from the Dems.

Yup. He'd actually deserve it, too. He engaged in massive conflicts of interest and dereliction of duty. Even more so than most of the critters.
The GOP still can’t grasp the most basic rule in politics: friend vs foe identification.
