Regarding the Santos dog scandal: I predict that the political career of George Santos will soon come to an ignominious end. Apparently, very few things continue to be sacred for today’s “Republicans”, but surely America’s love for dogs is still on that very short list. When I heard about Santos’ dog victimizing Go Fund Me grift on the news, my ears perked up. This will be the straw that "breaks the camel's back". In America today, a gas lighting demagogue can brag about sexually assaulting women and then go on to lie thousands of times and then tell huge lies, flamboyantly and relentlessly, including absurd conspiracy theories then incite a violent insurrection, and not be barred from office (as was the case on February 13, 2021). But, being a liar and a cheat who practices his grifting while taking advantage of a deathly ill dog is another matter entirely. And this was not just any dog. The canine victim of this grift was not a Kardashian purse dog, or a little yappy dog of the type that might be dispatched for comic effect in a movie like National Lampoon's Summer Vacation, oh no, this dog was a sad eyed bulldog, the beloved companion of a homeless veteran. As for George Santos - stick a fork in him - he's so done. If killing a veteran’s dog for personal gain does not end a political career, well then truly, the “Republican” party has gone to the …. (Ok, I’m not going to go there.)
