Does Santos have a staff? People he has hired? Or are they automatically assigned? Because I can't imagine even an intern that wants this turd stuck to the bottom of their shoe, short of someone parlaying the experience into a book or something.

his tactical advisor vish burra (mentioned above in passing) actively embraces all this stuff
(and had done so with earlier clients also, tho santos seems the more perfect fit tbrr)

people were saying this same sort of thing about Trump, if he just sticks around long enough he'll have some legitimacy, and obviously nobody on the Republican side is gonna be calling for him to resign

Jayson Blair is a life coach. Stephen Glass is a paralegal.
Both wrote books and got speaking engagements.

I don't think anyone is worried about George Santos's future in here. He'll be immortalized in an impersonation on the next Snatch Game, I imagine, which will probably be another dream come true for him. It'll probably be like 4 Meghans and 2 Santoses and a bunch of YouTube makeup artists I don't know.

feels kinda like ya boi's turdliness isn't not the point (cf. trump, inevitably, endlessly), like if maybe there were orgs with something to gain from the continued erosion of faith (lol) in american democracy (lmao) then a spectacle of this nature is a straightforward win. republicans who aren't comfortable with embracing distilled bullshit get turned off, dems see yet another example of garbage rising to the top & continue to die inside, & more political oxygen gets ceded to jackals and psychopaths

Rep.

The freshman New York lawmaker, whose litany of false and misleading claims about his past has left him with few allies, even among his fellow Republicans, previously worked for an investment firm known as the Harbor City Capital Corporation. The company was shut down by the Securities and Exchange Commission (SEC), which in 2021 called it a "classic Ponzi scheme."

Here's that Queens restaurant again! I'm sure the bill came out to exactly $199.99:
Santos, then a regional director for Harbor City, promptly invited her and her client to dinner, Bogosian said in "Campaign of Deceit," which was released Thursday. She said when they arrived for the meal at Il Bacco, an Italian restaurant in Queens, she was brought into a "huge room" with "one table in the middle."
"He asked for a $300,000 principal investment, and he essentially said the client was not allowed to know what it was being invested in at all," Bogosian said, adding that she didn't like the sound of it. Bogosian's client turned Santos down.
