Rep. George Santos, facing likely expulsion from Congress, launched a expletive-ridden tirade in a livestream Friday night, accusing his House colleagues of casting votes hungover, cheating on their spouses, and being “hypocrites.”

The three-hour-long rant came after House Ethics Committee Chairman Michael Guest introduced a resolution to expel Santos that many of his former allies have promised to support.

Guest introduced the resolution following the committee’s monthslong investigation into the congressman, which found he used campaign funds to pay for Botox, personal travel, and even porn.

Santos singled out Guest in the livestream, saying the chairman should “be a man and stop being a pussy and call the damn motion.” But he had harsh words for all of his colleagues, on both sides of the aisle, whom he accused of “act[ing] like they’re in ivory towers with white pointy hats and they’re untouchable.”

“Within the ranks of United States Congress there’s felons galore, there’s people with all sorts of shystie backgrounds,” he said.

    Me either. I’ve played a handful as a little kid with mom’s quarters. I had never heard it called a “table”. It’s cool and I like it. Figured you were in the know.

      Oh, no, actually I used to work at one of the arcades when I was 19 or 20 (awful job) and that’s what they called them.

          And you’d be accurate too!

          Table is definitely the common nomenclature when referring to different pinball machines.

          Like if you said “I’m really digging this Medieval Madness table right now” anyone familiar enough with pinball machines would know exactly what you mean ;)
