George Santos expelled from congress on bipartisan vote.
The Republicans apparently decided he was doing more harm to their party with his blatant corruption than he was helping them with his vote in Congress. They're not against corruption per se given who their leader is, but there are practical considerations and Santos was expendable in the end.

Given that they could end up with a Democratic representative from that district, narrowing their already slim majority, his corruption must have been really painful for them.

I think enough of them realized that their votes to defend him would hurt them in 2024 and 2026 if he's convicted.

Yeah, that's what I was thinking of by pain. I wish it worked that way with Trump.

If you call someone that, it might mean you feel a certain way about them. If they self-identify as that, it means something different.

I thought self-identity was respected, so I was checking if it was worth respecting the designation.

So if you get elected governor you don't have to actually turn up for work?

You seem OK with defending the far-right, authoritarian, evangelical tendency in the Republican party. Are you?

It's a perfectly coherent description that tallies with dominionist theory and practice. Dominionists seek to impose a kind of Christian Caliphate, where all public bodies are stewarded by religious leaders and organised and run according to strict religious principles. Think of Christian Sharia and you'll be getting the idea.

I'll wait for you to answer the question I asked, rather than to deliver a sermon in defense of...something.
