NY Dems single-handedly gave the House to the GOP. They fucked up redistricting and then let Santos actually flip a seat. Where was the oppo research?

The Democratic incumbent foolishly retired from the House in order to run for governor, where he promptly got his ass kicked. The Democrats ran some stiff who lost to this lunatic by nearly ten percentage points. Imagine that. As far as I can tell, Santos, well, letâs just call him Santos for now, as far as I can tell he ran unopposed. The Republicans could find literally no one else to run, and the Democrats chose in the primary someone who would lose handily to a total fraud.
This is the wealthiest district in New York, by the way, this isnât a bunch of Stefanik style pigfuckers upstate whoâll fall for any old bullshit so long as they hear their favorite tunes reliably played. These are people that by and large should have some measurable amount of common sense.

I was going to amble down that path but decided against it.
Iâm reminded of a bit that Chris Rock did after DC mayor Marion Barry was re-elected after the crack smoking scandal. He made fun of Barryâs opposing candidate, what an inept candidate he must have been, something along the lines of Whoâs so bad youâre gonna lose to a crackhead?
Itâs become apparent to me that this is a question that merits a few moments of serious contemplation.

âSmoke crack, get yer job back!â
Letâs give him another crack at it!
And here you see why Kevin McCarthy is so fucked. He canât kick Santos out of Congress, because the GOP would likely lose the resulting special election and McCarthyâs majority drops to 3.
He keeps saying that he wants the ethics process to run its course (while simultaneously gutting the ethics process), because he wants Santos to stay in Congress. While Rapey McFivehead made the Speakership election all about him, donât forget that McCarthy wouldâve still been one vote short without Santos.
âDonât smoke crack. Youâll never be anything.â
âI can be mayorâ
âYou canât smoke crack at McDonaldâs and get your job back! They ship your ass to Hardeeâs!â
Hey, I had to suffer through Marion Barryâs second term while I was a college student in DC in the late 90âs. Thereâs no need to bring up that debacle again (the condition DC was in, not my grades).
On a more serious note, please donât forget the prostitute in the hotel room with Mayor Barry.

Wasnât John DeLorean involved somewhere in here too? Or am I conflating the two?
Unrelated as far as I can know, although Mr. DeLorean certainly had his own affinity for cocaine.

It will get worse and worse and worse for Republicans trying to cover for this guy just because McCarthy needs the vote. Itâs going to be delightful watching all those bigoted hypocrites squirm and faceplant.
Grandpa Ranty needs a diaper change and a nap.
At least there were trips/drink-ups at The Malt Shop, God rest its wonderful soul.
This cracks me up.

Heâs claiming dual citizenship. That means heâs for sure a Brazilian citizen, but Iâm not more curious than ever about his US citizenship.
