In a stunning turn of events, Santa Claus has revealed his annual naughty list for 2023, and it contains some familiar names. Topping the list is the President of the United States, Joe Biden, with a dismal approval rating of 39%, marking the lowest for any modern-day president in the past four decades. Santa's verdict seems to align with the American public's sentiment, as President Biden continues to struggle with his job performance, often deflecting blame and appealing to different constituencies, which has resulted in a deep divide among the American people.
Not far behind on Santa's naughty list is Hunter Biden, the son of the President. Hunter finds himself entangled in a web of controversies, ranging from tax evasion charges to illegal possession of firearms. His involvement in illegal foreign business dealings, substance abuse issues, and charges of not paying taxes totaling $1.4 million from 2016 to 2019 have cemented his position on the naughty list. If Santa has anything to say, it's that Hunter Biden's behavior leaves little room for redemption this year.
Joining the ranks of the naughty list is Senator Bob Menendez of New Jersey, along with his wife, Nadine. The couple's involvement in a bribery scheme, which led to the recovery of four gold bars linked to a robbery in 2013, has raised eyebrows. This case sheds light on foreign influence peddling and represents a serious breach of trust within the United States.
And closer to home in Washington, D.C., Representative George Santos finds himself facing expulsion from Congress due to a multitude of transgressions. Notably, Santos has been caught lying on several occasions, fabricating details about his past, including false claims about being a Division I volleyball player. While not directly landing himself on the naughty list for these fabrications, Santos committed a grave offense by engaging in sexual activities within Senate and Judiciary hearing chambers. Such behavior is undoubtedly a one-way ticket to Santa's naughty list.
As the holiday season approaches, these individuals can expect to find a lump of coal in their stockings as punishment for their misdeeds. While some might argue that this naughty list emphasizes the flaws and shortcomings of influential figures, others believe it serves as a reminder that actions have consequences. Santa's message is clear: those who indulge in dishonesty, corruption, and misconduct will find themselves facing the consequences of their actions.
