Former Rep. George Santos (R-N.Y.), who was recently expelled from Congress, made a pitch on Tuesday to serve as former President Trump’s director of U.S. Immigration and Customs Enforcement (ICE) if Trump wins his bid to return to the White House in 2024.
“My new year resolution is that President Trump returns to the white house and in 2025 I can be appointed Director of ICE,” Santos wrote in a post on X, formerly known as Twitter.
“Enough abuse and disregard for our sovereignty, we are the United States OF America and not a global dumping hub. ICE has had their hands tied for far too long with the sole exception of the great four years of DJT,” Santos wrote, referring to Trump by his initials.
Trump wouldn’t want someone who is more of a grifter than himself. Santos is the Platonic Ideal of Grift: so incredibly tactless and immoral that it’s hard to believe he’s lying as much as he is.
What if Santos cuts him in in the grift, though?
Santos’s grift isn’t profit, it’s annoyance. Trump likes to be annoying for attention, but doesn’t do anything if it’s not making money.
What if Santos takes off his mask and he’s really Fred Trump, Donald’s father?
My new year’s resolution (because I guess now those are just things we hope happen) is that George Santos will be in jail in 2025.
That seems to be the career trajectory for people who align themselves with the Mango Mussolini.
If this follows the GOP pattern of projection, it will come to light in the future that Santos himself is not an American citizen having traveled here from another country and entered undocumented.
You jest, but we don’t actually know if he’s a citizen at all.
He has claimed at various times to have been born in the US and in Brazil. He’s lived in both locations, and is wanted for questioning for crimes in Brazil.
Hey, at least one of those Brazilian crimes was resolved. I fucken hate it here.
How can he be an elected congressperson without clear citizenship?
Because he’s a republican who is pro-Trump, so the screaming maga don’t care as much about his crimes or lies, afterall they say “every politician lies” and then vote for the liars who say the shit that the maga like.
So the republicans in power cover for him, until it became too much for them.
You misunderstand me. I’m not asking about how people could vote for him. I’m asking how can he legally be on the ballot/swore in? Surely there’s some form at some point where he has to put some citizenship proof, be it a driver license or passport number.
I’m on a visa, can I put my name on the ballot and be sworn in?
You need to be a citizen for at least 7 years to be eligible to hold office, but Santos may have just lied on the paperwork, and the people in charge of checking that shit have little incentive to actually check, because Santos is a Republican who blindly supported the agenda, until he became a liability to the party.
Jesús fucking Christ 🤦 he truly shows how much further the right can still debase themselves if they don’t wake the fuck up
But then they’d be woke. They would still rather be… slept?
And when I wake up, you better hope…you better hope you’re asleep! Sweet dreams, lilac!
Mystery Men, underrated movie
Santo’s for Trumps VP and they both run the country from prison.
That’ll be an interesting and hilarious fall of the new Rome.
Birds of a loser flock a little closer.
As former Prime Minister of the United Kingdom who recently abdicated her throne as Queen of Denmark, i’d say they’re eminently qualified!
Probably one of the few ways for him to get a job.
He could also go to the theatre with Boebert.
That’s some Grade A asskissery! Well played!
I dunno. It’s pretty obvious Conservative Pick-Me behavior, and I don’t think Trump is attracted to his type.
Yeah. The guy isn’t appalled by him to the point he needs to force himself on him.
This is the best summary I could come up with:
“My new year resolution is that President Trump returns to the white house and in 2025 I can be appointed Director of ICE,” Santos wrote in a post on X, formerly known as Twitter.
ICE has had their hands tied for far too long with the sole exception of the great four years of DJT,” Santos wrote, referring to Trump by his initials.
Santos interacted with the media frequently during his time in the House as he faced numerous political scandals that ultimately led to his ouster last month in a 311-114-2 vote.
Santos faces 23 federal criminal charges related to allegations that he misled donors, fraudulently received unemployment benefits, lied on House financial disclosures, inflated his campaign finance reports and charged his donors’ credit cards without authorization.
The House Ethics Committee also released a scathing report finding there is clear evidence Santos committed serious crimes, which helped compel some holdouts to vote for the embattled lawmaker’s ouster after two attempts to expel him failed.
In the post on X, however, Santos said he knew “exactly” what was needed to lead ICE properly and made an informal public bid for the hypothetical position.
The original article contains 425 words, the summary contains 193 words. Saved 55%. I’m a bot and I’m open source!
Doesn’t he know Trump hates losers?
He can be Secretary of Ramen Management when those two clowns are in prison.
He should get the job, he’s been the Director of ICE under 3 other administrations, it says so in his resume.
Fucking Santos is reminding me more and more of Kissinger (both being kiss-asses to get power when they have no fucking clue about anything). I guess next Santos will say “We should nuke Europe”.
I mean, given that he served for almost a decade as Trump’s VP and Chief of Staff, it really seems like he’s a no brainer for a cabinet position
