i saw mommy kissing santos (george)

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

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

Welcome to the #resistance, Mitt Romney

“with due respect, sir, it is you who is the ball-licker”

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

he's much more vulnerable than trump to legal takedown

^^ this

Plus, a congressional district isn't the rest of the country.

Don't think we even mentioned this yet:

https://www.cnn.com/2023/02/05/politics/george-santos-prospective-staffer-complaint/index.html

Jayson Blair is a life coach. Stephen Glass is a paralegal.

Both wrote books and got speaking engagements.

Santos will be fine, don't worry about him.

BRB, printing up a bunch of t-shirts that say "Don't Worry, Be Santos."

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.

This dude rules

hahaha

And the ass saw the angel ...

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

santos is like if the flying kasparov dildo gained lost sentience, basically

Mormonic

get a brain, mormans

Santos' new drag name should be Ethel Morman

anyway he's a fantasist who never stops lying

George Santos's official congressional bio gives the absolute bare minimum information. Contrast with, say, MTG, and the bio includes her schooling, prior employment, and where she was born https://t.co/TqqEc48icN pic.twitter.com/6UD36Xm9gL
