Funny how you want to talk about "typical violent" when your profile picture is endorsing gun culture and violence. 

Kind of like 4 year olds under going sex reassignment surgery and parents not having any parental rights, right?

and abortions performed on just born babies.

Rio de Janeiro George Santos Indictments Washington news

George Santos signs deal to avoid prosecution in Brazil over forged checks

By DIANE JEANTET and DAVID BILLER

11 May 2023

RIO DE JANEIRO (AP) — A day after New York Rep. George Santos pleaded not guilty to charges in the U.S., he signed an agreement Thursday with public prosecutors in Brazil to avoid prosecution for forging two stolen checks in 2008.

“What would have been the start of a case was ended today,” Santos’ lawyer in Brazil, Jonymar Vasconcelos, told The Associated Press in a text message. “As such, my client is no longer the subject of any case in Brazil.”

Asked about the details of the non-prosecution agreement, Vasconcelos demurred, citing the fact the case proceeded under seal. The public prosecutors' office of Rio de Janeiro state also declined to comment when contacted by the AP.

Court records in Brazil, first uncovered by The New York Times, show Santos was the subject of a criminal charge for using two stolen checks to buy items at a shop in the city of Niteroi, including a pair of sneakers that he gifted to a friend. At the time, Santos would have been 19. The purchase totaled 2,144 Brazilian reais, then equal to about $1,350, according to the charge prosecutors filed in 2011.

That followed an investigation opened in 2008 and Santos’ signed confession, in which he admitted to having stolen the checkbook of his mother’s former employer from her purse and making purchases, including in the store, and recognizing the fraudulent checks as those he had signed, according to the court documents reviewed by the AP.

A judge accepted the charges against Santos in 2011, but subsequent subpoenas for him to appear personally or present a written defense went unanswered and, with authorities repeatedly unable to determine his whereabouts, the case was suspended in 2013. That changed after he won a U.S. congressional seat and the subsequent flurry of media attention focused on his dubious credentials. Rio state prosecutors then petitioned to reopen the case.

Per terms of the non-prosecution agreement, Santos will pay 24,000 reais (almost $5,000), with the majority going to the shopkeeper who received the bad checks and the remainder to charities, newspaper Folha de S.Paulo reported, without saying how it obtained the information. Santos attended the meeting virtually, the paper reported.

Resolution of the case removes the possibility Santos might have been obliged to travel to another country to resolve pending charges; that could have been been complicated after he was forced to surrender his passport after recent charges in the U.S.

On Wednesday in New York, Santos pleaded not guilty to charges he stole from his campaign and lied to Congress about being a millionaire, while collecting unemployment benefits he didn’t deserve.

Because the GOP has been engaging in stochastic terrorism for years and this is the very predictable outcome, that’s why.

Its also reasonable to think that one party’s offices get attacked , the attacker is of the opposite party. not a hard and fast rule but reasonable imo...

the irony is obviously lost on you. this was me making fun of how mushbrain conservatives go all in on "so much for the tolerant left" every single time there's violence that even SMELLS like it was done by a liberal. 

whenever someone starts a question with "is this where we...?" it's to point out the hypocrisy of those that usually jump to these types of conclusions and paint millions of people with one brush based on very little information. 

understand now?

I heard another analyst say that Desantis should NOT attack tRump personally. That would anger the die hard magats....I totally disagree with that.

HughFreakingDillon

she's right. you aren't going to turn trumpers into desantisians. they are trumpers because they believe the things that disgust us are his best qualities.

focus on the normal R's and indies, his record, and policy. that's how he wins. 

I hope he doesn't though. I think when it comes down to it, Biden beats Trump, but loses to Desantis. More independents are likely to vote R without Trump next to it. 

Go Beavers

It’s impressive some in the media still maintain their denial about Trump. The dysfunctional behavior is central to his appeal. Acting like a semi functional adult won’t get any of the other candidates anywhere.

i still think most indies don't give a rip about the noise; just policy and successes/failures.

George Santos expulsion coming before House as Democrats force vote

By KEVIN FREKING

22 mins ago

WASHINGTON (AP) — House Democrats took steps Tuesday to force a vote on expelling New York Rep. George Santos from Congress, an effort that is expected to be defeated but puts Republicans in the uncomfortable position of taking a stand on an indicted colleague.

The freshman GOP congressman has been charged with embezzling money from his campaign, falsely receiving unemployment funds and lying to Congress about his finances. He has denied the charges and has pleaded not guilty.

Democratic Rep. Robert Garcia, D-Calif., introduced a resolution in February to expel Santos, something the House has only done twice in recent decades and requires the approval of a two-thirds majority. He brought the measure Tuesday to the House floor under a process that gives lawmakers until Thursday to dispense with it.

Republicans could vote to table the effort. They could also refer it to the House Ethics Committee for consideration, which House Speaker Kevin McCarthy, R-Calif., indicated was his preferred route. Both efforts require a majority vote. Republicans could also just allow the House to vote on Garcia's expulsion resolution, but that is unlikely.

“I wanted him to resign. We gave him plenty of time to do it," Garcia said of his decision to bring the measure up this week. “His other Republican freshmen also want him to resign and it's time for him to go."

Santos, despite the federal charges he's facing, is moving forward with his plans to seek reelection and has defied calls for his resignation. “This is the beginning of the ability for me to address and defend myself,” Santos told reporters following his indictment. His office didn't immediately respond to a request for comment on Garcia's resolution.

Republican leaders have said Santos deserves to have his day in court before Congress weighs in. The position Republican leaders have staked out generally follows the precedent that Congress has set in similar criminal cases over the years. The House has expelled just two members in recent decades, and both votes occurred after the lawmaker had been convicted on federal charges.

McCarthy said he would reach out to House Minority Leader Hakeem Jeffries, D-N.Y., about referring the resolution to the Ethics Committee, which already has initiated an investigation into whether Santos engaged in unlawful activity with respect to his congressional campaign.

“I think we can look at it very quickly and come to a conclusion on what George Santos did and did not do,” McCarthy told reporters.

Democrats are looking to tie Santos to the Republican brand, particularly in key swing districts, and began messaging the effort to expel him as giving New Yorkers the “honest representation they deserve.”

"Now is the time for members of Congress to demonstrate where they stand and expel George Santos from Congress," said Rep. Suzan DelBene, chair of the Democratic Congressional Campaign Committee.
