Rant #3,800: Liar, Liar

The president commuting George Santos' sentence was a mistake.

At least he did not get a full pardon, so all the charges still stand.

But with virtually no punishment at all, Santos can make millions off his celebrity on Cameo, sign TV, book and movie deals, and bask in his past indiscretions monetarily.

And please don't bring up the Hunter Biden situation. That, too, was wrong, but the comparisons stop there.

As a free man, Santos now says he wants to work on prison reform. 

Yup, anybody that believes this really needs to get their heads examined.

Once a liar, always a liar.

This guy is completely delusional, but the president said that his loyalty to the Republicans was a main reason he got his free pass out of jail.

That just sets a very, very bad precedent.

Party affiliation should have nothing to do with a jail sentence commutation.

And while the president is rewarding Santos' supposed party loyalty, how loyal was he in real terms?

He let down his party with his constant lies.

He let down his constituents who voted for him and believed in him.

And he let down his position on the House of Representatives, a post that won't ever be manned by a Republican again due to his idiotic actions.

And by the way, Santos can run again fir office if he so chooses--

So what was his punishment, exactly?

It ended up being a couple of days in jail, and that is it.

He does not have to pay any restitution for the money he stole, and he can continue to say that he was railroaded, and does not have to own up to his blatant misdeeds.

I like a lot of what the president has done in his second term in office, but on the other hand, I don't like a lot of what the president has done in his second term in office.

Santos' jail sentence commutation falls under the latter, and I just hope that a full pardon os not in the offing.

This guy needs to know that what he did was wrong, but how can he see this if he is pretty much being rewarded, monetarily and otherwise, for his behavior?

Maybe the president can explain this concept to me, but I don't get it.

And that's no lie.
