I read somewhere that Santos has said he won't run again in 2024.

I'll believe it when I see it.

Fer chrissakes, this guy is making fools of EVERYBODY and they don’t seem to care
Being a fool seems to be the ground state for the GOP and their voters, so it isn't much of a lift..

Just to be clear, we want Anthony Devolder to stay in office to rub the MAGA GOP's nose in it for the next 656 days (until the 2024 election). He's just one liar of many. But even perennial loser candidate, South Florida's Lavern Spicer, who never misses a chance to be vile, nasty and stupid, is upset. It's something else that George goes too far for even her. What a disaster of a political party.

George, I say this with the utmost honesty. You’ve got to stop. Our side does not need the stuff that comes with you. I’m sure the Democrats would accept these lies with no problem but the Republican Party prides itself on honesty and integrity. It’s all too much.

You’re a lying scumbag and your word means absolutely nothing. Everyone knows you’re a total fraud and a shameless conman. Nobody likes you. Nobody trusts you. You’re truly despicable. Go f*ck yourself, creep!

Tell us more, George. Exactly how many dogs did you help “reduce”? We’re already aware of the veteran’s service dog that you allowed to die — how many more are there? 🤨

To be clear, I couldn't care less if he was a drag queen or not. That said, given his hard turn to the right and the likes of who he is hanging out with (mtg, for example,) I believe it is newsworthy. Anyway, a less grainy (purported) photo.

If nothing else his relationship (cousin?) to Inntrater and other Russian gangsters is disqualifying, in my eyes. “Look how easy we infiltrate American politics now. Thanks Donald Trumpskaya.”

Wondering what's motivating this former roommate, he's really doing the rounds on interviews.

Guess the drag queen stuff has been circulating for a while.

I think he will be like Madison Cawthorne. He'll show up and collect his salary while stories continue to leak out about his past. He'll vote the way McCarthy tells him to vote. Come 2024 he will either not run for reelection or he will easily be primaried out. By November, he will move out of his office, continue to collect his salary until Jan 3, 2025, and move on to his next grift.

Oh, and you have to be in office for six years to receive a pension from Congress.

His former roommate is a fool.

Members of the House do not get a pension or health care after a single term.

While they have a pretty good plan, like all other plans, you must be a member of the plan for five years to be vested. With less than five years, the most a congresscritter can hope for is a return of any amount that they contributed.

YOU know that, and WE know that, but I've seen enough FB memes on various pages to know that the vast majority of Americans do NOT know this, so it does not surprise me at all that 'Santos' doesn't know that and that his former roommate doesn't know it either.

Steve Bannon said that Santos has now become bulletproof. Other Republicans, not so much.

Video has emerged showing lying Long Island Rep. George Santos boasting about performing as a drag queen in Rio de Janeiro — despite his claims Thursday morning that he had never done any such thing.

The video shows Santos, clad in a black dress and sunglasses, speaking in Portuguese to an interviewer at the Pride parade in the Rio suburb of Niteroi in 2005.

“I do presentations at 1940 in Jacarepagua, I do Cascadura, I also did Cabaret Casanova in Gloria and I did one at Le Boy,” Santos says, naming well-known drag clubs in and around the city.

Santos then lauds the parade’s organization, saying: “The event is good, well-organized. I really love it.” He adds that he wanted to ride on a float in the parade, “but it was very small and there was no room to ride on top, so I’m with the crowd.”
and now, the rest of the story: https://nypost.com/2023/01/19/george-sa ... s-in-2005/

Why did Twitter cancel the account? I mean, simply being a lying right-winger doesn't, in general, seem to be enough under Musk.

Santos needs psychiatric care.
As to calling him “bulletproof”, the only meaning I can get out of that is that this was known and used by Republicans to control him.

At least that’s how the Bannon/Trump team viewed politics.
Can he have even more skeletons?
