George Santos (R-NY) and his imaginative (but dishonest) résumé

[neonzx]

I'm less interested in a movie than in whether the Dems have learned to vet opposing political candy dates. I suspect Kitara will have his imitators trying to bust into Congress by scamming everyone in their districts. It would be nice if we could catch them BEFORE they get elected to Congress, this time around. Remember, this happened in oh-so-sophisticated New York, where it would be unpossible to fool people like he did.

Agree. They need to do better Op-research. This travesty should never have happened. And the details were so easy to find. No excuse. Not just the Dem party but media failed as well. Everyone asleep at the wheel.

I’d love to see a tongue-in-cheek biopic in the same vein as HBO’s treatment of the Watergate plumbers.

[raison de arizona]

Holy shit! $170k?! He started at $75 a pop and sold out, so now he's upped it to $400 for a 1-minute video and is raking in money hand over fist!

Former Republican lawmaker George Santos has quickly found a way to make more money than he earned as a politician.

He's joined Cameo, where he has already booked more than $170,000 worth of video work on the platform.

George Santos joins Cameo app, charging $400 a video. People are buying.
Disgraced former congressman has booked more than $170,000 worth of work on the celebrity video platform.

I’d love to see Rob Reiner do a mockumentary on him like This Is Spinal Tap.

[Rolodex]

The people he owes money to are going to crawl out of the woodwork.

Stuff on tv and movies require some minor touch of plausibility. If somebody would have pitched a Santos video before Santos, it would have been round files due to lack of plausibility.

They need to be be more believable like stories with lightsabers, polyjuice potions, and some dude who rules all because of a piece of jewelry.

That SNL player Mr. Yang has GS down-pat.

A few have come out of sketch comedy and done well. Eddie Murphy, for example.

Yeahbt, Murphy has not played Gumby in a movie, nor has Chevy Chase played Ford in a movie.

Yeabut, Murphy has also not played Mr. Robinson in a movie.
And Chevy Chase is fairly useless as an actor since only has 1st gear/one trick pony (and he is apparently an a**s to his co workers).

No argument from me.

The People’s “Princess” is here to serve

PLEASE

I absolutely cannot believe the reality I am living in

[much ado]

I look forward to a time when someone mentions "George Santos", and I have to struggle to remember who he was.

It cannot happen soon enough.

ETA: (And I am not praying for dementia.)

Sure, I mean, that'll happen, and then he'll make a second stab at Dancing with the Stars or some British equivalent show for former celebs. AND THE CYCLE WILL RENEW.

Santos Appears In Court, As Plea Talks Continue With Prosecutors

https://patch.com/new-york/northfork/s/ ... 27b23925a1

Prosecutors told the judge that they "expect plea negotiations to continue," a spokesperson for the U.S. Attorney of the Eastern District, said.

The next court appearance in Central Islip is scheduled for January 23 at 10:30 a.m., prosecutors announced.

Also at Tuesday's status conference, the judge said she was inclined to keep the date for the trial to start in September, but if her trial schedule changes they can revisit that discussion, she said.

Santos told CBS2 on Sunday, "A plea is not off the table, obviously, at this point. I’m gonna negotiate the best I can."

Santos has message for ex-colleagues: ‘I’ll outlive them’

https://thehill.com/blogs/in-the-know/4 ... live-them/

“I’ll be back,” the New York Republican said in an interview with comedian Ziwe, released Monday on YouTube.

“I’m 35. They’re all in their 50s. I’ll outlive them,” Santos told the political satirist, whose full name is Ziwe Fumudoh.

“Each and last one of them,” Santos added.

“That is so menacing,” Ziwe replied to a laugh from Santos. “I feel threatened and I’m not even in the House of [Representatives,]” she said.

Santos’s remarks come after the House voted earlier this month to expel the scandal-plagued lawmaker from Congress. Santos faces federal indictment on 23 counts of wire fraud, identity theft and other campaign finance charges.

In his interview with Ziwe, Santos slammed his former peers, calling them “hacks.”

“They’re not doing anything other than lying to you. If a politician’s mouth is moving on Capitol Hill, they’re lying to you,” he said.

“But I’m looking at a politician, and your mouth is moving and I feel like you’re lying to me,” Ziwe said.

“I’m not a politician — never was, never will be,” Santos insisted.

[RTH10260]

Hmmm - I don't think that prison is a place that brings long life. But long life of problems for convicts.

[raison de arizona]

whatta maroon!

Ziwe asks George Santos the hard hitting questions we’ve been dying to know…

Spoiler alert — He came to Congress to expose corruption, he names names and says he’ll be back.

[bill_g]

Uh huh (nodding head). Sure. Exposing corruption. Totally believe that.

[Slim Cognito]

He does realize he’s going to prison, doesn’t he?

[northland10]

Many decades from now, like everyone else, George will shuffle off this mortal coil (NADT). His tombstone engraving should provide a simple background of his life:

"HERE LIES GEORGE SANTOS"

Well...he DID expose his own, soooo....

RDA, thanks for posting that Kitara hit! Kitara doesn't know who HARVEY MILK is? I'm going to need to see proof that the boy is even gay.

Had to give him a link to the movie EXECUTION OF JUSTICE by Emily Mann. (The Broadway production was my first Broadway producer credit.)

George, you don't know who Harvey Milk is? Here's a link to the movie EXECUTION OF JUSTICE. The guy responsible for Harvey Milk’s death was acquitted of murder due to the “Twinkie Defense”. It's "diminished capacity", but junk food was used as an excuse.
