100,000 people vote twice. They get caught. They are given 50 hrs/community service.
You buy the community service back @ $10/hr. Plus give each people $500 bonus for their service.
100,000 x $500 (bonus) + $500 (service buy back) x 100,000. $100,000,000.
You can buy a state's election for $100,000,000. Given 5-6 states that usually decide the electoral college, half a billion dollars will do it.

That's one very good deal.

You have to admit he is entertaining. And better behaved (so far) than Laureen and MTG.

If they were to shoot it down and it fell on someone's home or property...

More details.

I shudder to think what TFG would've done
(Other than call one of his boys and find out if he could grift someone into paying him for not shooting it down that is)

A country with no Social Security. They truly hate poor people.

It gets better. These people really want to bring back child labor. This is not the first time I've heard some of them say this.

Today in "George Santos". Stealing money meant for a homeless vet's dog wasn't enough for "George".

Don't forget Rick Scott perpetrated one of the largest Medicare scams ever.

About George Santos.
He is a test for your democracy. I know that Tiny is laughing at your justice system. But if George is not behind bars by the end of this year, the American Justice System is simply there to imprison the little people.
