i saw mommy kissing santos (george)

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:

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.

Rep George Santos (R-NY) tells reporters the criticism last night from Sen Mitt Romney (R-UT)….. “wasn't very Mormon.”

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

"a fugitive con artist working as a political fund-raiser is charged in a triple homicide"

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

https://www.politico.com/news/2023/02/09/santos-charged-theft-2017-dog-breeders-00082091

Rep. George Santos was charged with theft in Pennsylvania’s Amish Country in 2017 after a series of bad checks were written in his name to dog breeders, according to the court and a lawyer friend who helped him address the charge.

Just days after $15,125 in checks were made out for “puppies,” according to the memo lines, Santos held an adoption event at a Staten Island pet store with his animal rescue charity Friends of Pets United, according to the store’s Instagram account and a person who attended the event.

The charge was dismissed and his record expunged after Santos claimed someone had stolen his checkbook, according to the court and the lawyer.

god its wild that there's a Congressman for whom "wrote bad checks to dog breeders" is only like the 12th weirdest thing about him

Master of puppies, I'm pulling your strings ...

We've been spending most our lives
Living in an Amish breeder hive

passing a bad chack to a puppy mill is no crime in my book

!t's crazy too how much of this shit is within the last 5 years too.

are all dog breeders considered puppy mills? (genuine q)

why was he buying puppies from breeders for a rescue event?

it's like the guy has been purposefully been trying to get a movie about him made by Adam McKay.

Breeders in Amish country are your classic puppy mills

puppy laundering, which is not as cute as it sounds

Boring otm, amish dog breeders have a reputation of being rather fucked

ah gotcha :(

Harvey Guillen as George Santos

xp I've heard the same - there's no free-trade, shade-grown puppies in Amish country
