Guest Post by Kurt Schlichter
Let’s make no mistake – perhaps the most important and consequential Republican of the current era is one George Santos. AKA Anthony Devolder. AKA drag queen Kitara Ravache. He is an absolute hero, and he has done more for the cause of conservatism than a thousand GOP suits parroting Cato Institute and/or Chamber of Commerce clichés.
Sure, he has a track record of shocking scams, scores and shenanigans that would make a lesser man (assuming that’s how he’s identifying this week) blush. Not George – perhaps the greatest politician to bear that first name since the father of our country. No, in spite of his controversies and creative CV, he ran for a Democrat-leaning seat and he won. His vision and perseverance, and refusal to take “No” or “That’s a violation of federal law” for an answer, won us an extra House slot. George Santos is now 20% of the Republican majority. What makes it even sweeter is that he was running in the pompous, failing New York Times’s backyard and the tacky tabloid never figured out that this guy was a one-man crime spree. He fooled them all. Way to go, George, if that is your real name.
Naturally, the Democrats are in a tizzy over the recent revelations about his unusual past. Aided by the regime media, they are demanding that he resign his seat, which means a special election and a likely replacement by some pinko communist. A few Fredocons are joining in the chorus, but our boy George is hanging tough, to quote New Kids on the Block, of which I am pretty sure George will be shown to have once claimed to have been a founding member.
And, more importantly, Kevin McCarthy is refusing to call for him to resign. This is huge. This is momentous. This is long overdue. The Speaker is playing by the New Rules, and using them as an over-sized suppository for the Democrats.
The Old Rules were pretty clear. As a politician, you were pretty much expected to be a dishonest schmuck. You just had to portray yourself as not being one, and you had to hide your lies, dissembling, and corruption sufficiently to create an air of deniability. We all knew they were rotten. They just had to have the decency to not rub their rottenness in our faces and we could all go on pretending that the sordid business of politics was not really that sordid.
Under the Old Rules, George Santos would be hounded out of office at the first major scandal revelation. But the Old Rules have been replaced. See, the Old Rules would have required the Democrats to police their own at the cost of a short-term political loss – though not much of one, since their most vivid villains come from deep blue states that happily re-elect their own bad guys. Let’s review the rogues gallery of dirtbags whose retention led to the New Rules that keep George Santos a congressman…
There’s Dick Blumenthal, the hero of the Tet Offensive. He was never near Vietnam, but that did not stop him from preening about like a war hero. He’s from Connecticut, and the Connecticutters did not mind. Back to the Senate goes Fauxdi Murphy!
In the nearby pseudo-state of Rhode Island is Sheldon Whitehouse. He allegedly belongs to an all-white beach club. But that’s cool with his Democrat constituents. Back to the Senate he goes to pontificate about white supremacy, of which he is an expert.
Let’s go across the fruited plain to California, where Eric Swalwell allegedly bared his Fang Fangs. He’s still in Congress, though not on the Intel Committee anymore. California Senator Feinstein had a Chinese spy for a driver for two decades, but she can plead lack of intent on account of the fact that she is totally senile. It’s actually sad.
Heading back, let’s stop in Minnesota to attend Ilhan Omar’s combination wedding anniversary and family reunion. Then on to New Jersey to visit Senator Robert Menendez. You don’t even want to know what that guy is into, though the feds keep trying (not very hard) to find out.
And then back up north again to say “How” to Senate squaw Elizabeth Warren. Actually, for Massachusetts, reelecting a fake Indian is nothing. For decades they reelected Ted Kennedy and he killed a chick.
So please, tell us more about how George Santos is diminishing the awesome credibility of our Congress. Explain how his presence lessens the mighty moral firepower these solons wield. Enlighten us on why this petty chiseler and idiosyncratic LGBTQA+%^b>?]&G trendsetter – hilariously, one accusation is that he is faking being gay – is unfit to sit among the rest of the perverts, bunko artists, and fabulists in Congress. Frankly, the addition of George Santos to the 534 other legislators probably raises their average decency.
The continued presence of George Santos – I hope he serves every single day of his term and I am not ruling out strongly endorsing him for reelection – is a welcome and refreshing repudiation of the Democrats’ use of cheesy double-standard to screw over the GOP. “You have to repudiate him!” they cry. Nah, he’s a sure GOP vote. Do you think he’s going to go off the reservation – sorry Liz – and vote against the GOP that’s backing him? Ha! If Kevin McCarthy asks him to come help move his apartment, George is so in debt he’ll do it. Do they really think we will lose 20% of our majority because George Santos was naughty? Not happening.
George Santos is a potent middle finger in the face of our enemies. We are not going to apply one set of rules to ourselves that helps Democrats while the Democrats apply another set of rules to themselves that helps Democrats. The age of sap Republicans is over. And if you want to go back to the Old Rules, we’ll know it when we see Blumenthal doing the duffle bag drag and Warren walking off into the sunset down the trail of tears.

Oh, wrap up, Kurt. This guy is just another of the lunatics who have invaded our body politic in recent years. He’s the sort of guy you get in power when a civilization is dying.
You obviously have no appreciation for the ironic.
+++++++++++++++, Steve.
I don’t see where he is any worse than the rest of those………………….
Just playin’ by the rules, don’tcha know? If being a degenerate is the “winning position”, there is NO reason that Republican degenerates can not win elections.
This guy is the proof!
The bottom line is this…IF you’re going to be ALLOWED to “run” this country, you’re GOING to be a degenerate. Those ARE the new rules…and it takes a lot of plebs to force a rules change in this game.
Here’s Mr. Dangerous in action. This man and his cupcakes must be stopped! We must bring dignity back to Washington and that’ll never happen as long as this imposter is allowed to pass out baked goods whenever he pleases.
“The cupcakes are for you guys.”
For the girl journalist, too? I am confused who he means by “guys”. I think he might be confused, too .
When American girls are together, they call each other “guys”. Like on a volleyball team, rallying each other: “C’mon you guys! Let’s go!” At least that’s what they’ve always done in Minnesota. It’s the northern version of “y’all”.
Twinkies or churros for the gals. ;o)
Svarga, you misspelled GAYS.
Oh noo! After all these long years, ShadowJacker has emerged from his masturbation cave…and he’s bearing CUPCAKES!!! Oh, god. I JUST saw the staff!
inside baseball for R&M fans.
“…and he’s bearing CUPCAKES!!!”
Cream filled no doubt.
This guy might turn out to be our kinda fag.
Please don’t mistake my comments as approval of the critter. If anything they are a commentary on the sorry state of humanity. Now I know WHY Jesus wept.
Still, you may be right. GOD can make use of literally anything to accomplish His Will..
I am a new believer in the uniparty. The next person who comes to my door with donuts. You got my vote.
He’s queer and corrupt, but he’s “OUR” corrupt queer.
Relativistic politics in action … and some people are still in the dark WTF the problem might be.
Better a skunk inside the tent spraying out, than a skunk outside the tent spraying in.
One grifter pumping another grifter’s grift.
’bout sums it up
Is this satire?
To a rational observer, most of what Schlichter writes could be considered satirical
…and irony. You’re gettin’ a healthy dose of both.
You had to ask. That’s how you know it’s workin !
This is what our government has become.
Unethical immoral dishonest.
Both parties.
Have a friend who had labored long and hard in a leadership position for the republicans in his precinct; he has called it quits after seeing all the fake candidates come forward in the last few years wanting support-so they could become the next RINO while pretending to care about conservative values. Pretty darn smart thinking, you democrats.
I think the Santos saga is hilarious and Kurt is spot on. The American people have allowed madness to overtake our country and they deserve to have their noses rubbed in it. A nation that take seriously things such as “transgenderism”, “LGBTQ rights”, CRT, DEI, ESG, Chuck Schumer, AOC, “Dr. Jill Biden”, President Poops-in-Pants, Elizabeth Warren, Eric Swalwell, Adam Schiff (a homo who, with his friend Buck, gets down and dirty with black male prostitutes), General Milley, women in infantry squads, tats, Only Fans, women who dress and act like street whores, soy boys and hipsters, and all the rest, deserves to get it good and hard, and we will.
What he said. And why on earth would anyone downvote it?
Sage was talking mean.
Gee, all along I thought hurt feelings counted for nothing here at TBP.
Some dork who thinks politicians are what they say they are. And believes the US govt is a benevolent entity.
The demonrats are pissed off that Santos used their tactics to win a seat that was supposed to be theirs.
He is a queer. He is a liar. He is a criminal. He is a RINO. I think the Democrats still have the seat.
I know what you mean cliff. We may be perennial losers but at least we’re PRINCIPLED losers.
Sounds like a neocon.
Like McCain?
Kurt didn’t even mention the recently seated retard senator from Pennsylvania. Ass (Communist) party wins this contest hands-down.
The objective of all these political monsters and jokes being in office somehow is about further mocking and humiliating the American public and political system.
Fetterneck deserves his own column.
I support him,why…….?
The country going down,at least I am going to get a few laughs in while it does!
Folks truly ready for change,well……,let me know and at least if not a plan some ideas about how to bring about positive change,till then……
What a hilarious presentation of the facts! I guess Mary Poppins had the right of it after all…a spoonful of sugar DOES make the medicine go down.
I just like the fact that he pissed off a bunch of people by telling everybody he was a Jew to get people to vote for him.
ADL is on it. They’ll make sure Santos votes kosher every. single. time.
…”rogues gallery of dirtbags”…my opinion exactly…the only real surprise is he isn’t a Demoncrat, let’s hope he doesn’t turn RINO, the likes of Lady Graham.
What’s that you’re wearing? It smells like “cognitive dissonance” by Chanel.
…close…it’s “Pragmatist” by Cynic.
Well, it definitely ain’t single malt. I sense confusion in the formula.
Follow my lead…drink more.
Santos is just marginally more slimy than the rest of the congressional Republicans.
Nice, I can add this to the list.
I’m a,
Unvaxxinated pro-vaxxer
I love you
Check is in the mail, you didn’t get it yet?
George Santos republikan
Bible thumping, gun clinging, constitutionalist
I lied because I was on a date
White lies matter
Ukraine is winning
“I’m a George Santos Republican”…love it. I’m stealing that. I have a friend who can’t stand it that I’m not a Republican. However, just to be clear, I’m not a Democrat either. I have my own mind, tyvm.
santos is a lying,unprincipled,brazen crook but he is an amatuer compared to biden —
another classified email that was forwarded to burisma in real time —
smh…I never expect anything of any real moral, conservative or traditional value from the GOP and I am never disappointed.
Flash, why can’t you just leave a pamphlet on my trailer door like Jehovah’s Witnesses?
You just know there is a movie coming…..
How does having a freak ‘on the
right’counter the plethora of freaks
on the left?
