i saw mommy kissing santos (george)

Santos is my Congressperson. I voted for one of the more progressive candidates because Zimmerman seemed like a total DNC hack.

thanks PBKR

Sorry :(

Otoh, I don't think Santos will finish his term.

Thread title is already a Bob Dylan pun in the heart

Santos in the Heart

"You hurt the ones that I love best
And cover up the truth with lies.
One day you'll be in the ditch
Flies buzzin' around your eyes--
Blood on your saddle."

Kinda trivial piece here about how yes, Santos is a loon; no, most people don't care.

Gift link = https://wapo.st/3HVBgW4

I would not be surprised if the data presented here were accurate - only media and political junkies care about this inside baseball stuff, all politicians lie, etc. - but there is something flippant about the tone, as if to say "no one cares, nothin' to see, move along."

Thing is, MSM outlets' following this story is already seen as hypocrisy / bias by the right.

If wapo / nyt go even more Full Santos, in the hopes of telling people to care more, it gives that argument ammunition, and inevitable backlash

Congress is full of kooks, he's just a little more out there right now... I imagine most Americans neither know nor care about him

- Santos fires a staffer, claiming the staffer's past made him untrustworthy.

- As he does so, Santos jokes that the staffer might secretly record him.

- The staffer says he would never do that.

- He, apparently, did.

- We got the recording. https://t.co/47hS6OKzGf

in a way i'm gonna miss Santos

i've barely listening to that 25 minute recording, but in my very first random skip to the middle of it, santos starts talking about how he used to be a journalist, "hopes

"so they charged me with passing out a recording that they knew was illegal. here's the thing the thing - the supreme court of the united states - i was journalist at the time...i'm coming over here...and i hope that doesn't go anywhere... but anyway, the supreme court had ruled that journalists are allowed to publish things. so let's say charlie gets really mad at you and he goes to the wall street journal and gives them a bunch of information..."

someone in the room makes the incredibly smarmy joke "i have an NDA for 3 years...that i WILL hold you accountable too" *smarmy laughter, very fake, long* "...I love this kid!"

Santos laughs along, without realizing or caring that he's the butt of the joke, and continues to speak about whatever he's talking about with 100% confidence

then the person he's talking to mentions that he has a NDA "

sorry, extra words scattered throughout that post. i'm just trying to say that he's getting owned by his underlings, who ALSO suck, and he doesn't seem to care

mark s I wish to say that your thoughts on george santos are very delightful to me and merit publication, in a slim volume, maybe a limited edition with a nice tactile cover bearing the title THE GARBAGE IS HOME TO HIM

ha ha Santos' staff must be thinking about how to scrub this job from their resumes

SCOOP: George Santos told some potential donors he was a producer on the Broadway Spider-Man Musical. Turns out, that wasn't the case.https://t.co/3DeXL4vf63

this guy is incredible

Turn off the dark

he'll get a reality show & a book deal out of all this

omg i finally realized who he really looks like - tobey maguire

he didn't produce Spider-Man, he was IN it.

but why would you take credit for a notorious failure, goddammit he is so bad at being insane it's practically genius

"hey, remember that space shuttle that blew up?" *snaps suspenders* "yeah, that was me. make yr checks out to devolder holdings, inc"

or fuck, wait, maybe that's the point. "government is bad, put me in and i'll destroy that rascally government once and for all!" and the oligarchs are like finally, someone who gets it

i heard it was george santos' idea to automatically put the U2 album on everyone's phone. that's how he met bono and got the spiderman production gig

what that’s crazy he wrote that album and performed every instrument

yeah, his performances were powerful on that album

Santos / Devolder ‘24
Even Better Than The Real Thing

even ignoring everything else about this guy...the crewneck sweater under the suit is such an odd look.

Santos bloody santos

Did I disappoint you
Or leave a bad taste in your mouth

We're George, but we're not the same

https://www.thedailybeast.com/is-george-santos-now-trying-to-hide-his-spotify

This article, reporting on digging through George's sad Spotify playlists that he transparently denies are his, may be the low point in my compulsion to click on any news story involving George Santos. Still maybe the most entertaining hot mess in politics since Rob Ford.

He's having the fucking time of his life. Always got that kid after too much birthday cake energy.

"George, we're badly underpaid! Stop giggling."

Again with the sweater, maybe he feels the cold, idk.

I'd be laughing like that, too, since he's all but guaranteed two years in Congress followed by a book deal (for a book he won't have to write) and a paid exclusive interview or two.

This is George Santos we’re talking about; he’s not going to hire a ghostwriter, he’s going to hire someone to photocopy War and Peace.

imo he's just going to say, years later, that his book was on the NYT best seller list for 15 weeks. it will soon be revealed that he never submitted any book to a publisher

He'll just use Chat GPT.

Write the beginning of George Santos' autobiography

"My name is George Santos and I was born in a small fishing village on the coast of Brazil. I grew up in a tight-knit community, surrounded by the sea and a supportive family. I was the youngest of five children and the only boy in the family. Growing up, I was constantly surrounded by the love of my parents and siblings, and the hustle and bustle of our small fishing village.

From an early age, I was fascinated by the ocean and the mysteries that it held. I spent my days playing in the water, exploring the shoreline, and learning to fish with my father. I felt a deep connection to the sea, and I knew that whatever path I chose, it would involve the ocean in some way.

My parents encouraged my passion, and when I was just fifteen years old, I set off on my first fishing expedition with my father and some of the other men in the village. It was an incredible experience and I was hooked. From that moment on, I knew that I wanted to make a career out of fishing and adventure."

For a long time I used to go to bed early. Sometimes, when I had put out my candle, my eyes would close so quickly that I had not even time to say "I'm going to sleep." And half an hour later the thought that it was time to go to sleep would awaken me; I would try to put away the book which, I imagined, was still in my hands, and to blow out the light; I had been thinking all the time, while I was asleep, of what I had just been reading, but my thoughts had run into a channel of their own.

Republican Sen. Mitt Romney of Utah told GOP Rep. George Santos of New York: “You don’t belong here,” according to a member who witnessed the tense exchange in the House of Representatives chamber Tuesday night.

lol, is this real? take with a grain of salt because a blue check is worth less than ever, and also why would santos be the one to share this news. but also, it's george santos

Rep. George Santos describes, to me, his exchange with Sen. Mitt Romney during the State of the Union tonight:

Mitt: You don’t belong here.

Santos: Go tell that to the 142K that voted for me.

Mitt: You’re an ass.

Santos: You’re a much bigger asshole.

i guess santos thinks that makes him look like a badass?

Few things are more irritating than when Mitt Romney is right/relatable
