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?
Hes a pathological Liar. people like that lie even when they font have to. He has probably spun a ton of lies to everyone he has ever known. They lie even when they have been found out.

Honestly> I would even suggest that was never his account. He might have just put out an account that was never there just to fool the libs because of the snigger value. That's what Pathological liars do.

I never saw that he had a "personal" account before the second I saw that notice, so I'm just going to suggest it was never there i the first place. I'm not as easily fooled I guess

Yeah, let's go to the video tape...








Fox News' vile Gutfield on "New York's favorite scallywag", of course, it's all just fine with them.





This is reporter catnip. Long story about Wikipedia and Anthony:
George Santos appears to admit drag queen past in Wiki post
A user with the name Anthony Devolder wrote in 2011 that they won several drag pageants. Anthony Devolder is a Santos alias.
By CHRISTOPHER CADELAGO 01/20/2023 02:54 PM EST

Embattled Rep. George Santos has claimed that reports and videos documenting him performing in drag are both “outrageous” and “categorically false.” But nearly a dozen years ago, Santos himself appears to have confirmed that he participated in drag shows while he was a teenager living in Brazil. A Wikipedia page accessed by POLITICO shows a user named Anthony Devolder — a Santos alias — writing that he “startted [sp] his ‘stage’ life at age 17 as an gay night club [sp] DRAG QUEEN and with that won sevral [sp] GAY ‘BEAUTY PAGENTS [sp].’”

The Wiki biography was last edited on April 29, 2011. It contains basic information that matches up with the newly sworn-in congressman, including Devolder being born on July 22, 1988, to a Brazilian family with a European background.

The Wiki bio for Anthony Devolder, which is full of spelling and grammatical errors, appears to contain fantastical descriptions of his supposed career in show business. | Wikipedia

Santos has used the name Anthony Devolder elsewhere for online accounts.

:lol: I agree it's a hoot that the first Congressional drag queen is a Republican. They are such hypocrites. My question, is why aren't they accusing him of being a groomer and pedophile? Seems a little weird for them.

Yep, if they had more margin, they'd turn on him. But they don't, and IIRC he voted for McCarthy.

Right, just because the drag queen Kitara looks exactly like you doesn’t mean it’s you.

You would think that after you discovered electricity, invented the automobile, created the Internet, and became the all-time NBA scoring champ, people would stop doubting you.

Should have run as a Democrat, Kitara.

The GOP consorts with pathological liars, antisemites, Holocaust deniers, Proud Boys, Putin, Orban, child molesters, and election deniers, but the news that George Santos performed as a drag queen will quickly make him a pariah in the party that pickets drag shows.

George Santos has claimed that reports of him performing in drag are “categorically false.”

But in a 2011 Wiki post under an alias name, he appears to have confirmed that he participated in drag shows as a teen and claimed to win several pageants. https://politico.com/news/2023/01/20/ge ... t-00078812

Honestly, I really could not care less. The guy being a pathological liar is more concerning, and the GOP being saying one thing and doing another is old news to me. But sex sells I suppose.

If the Dems are clever they will use this to start talking about GOP hypocrisy in general, and then how the GOP says they are fiscally competent but actually spend like sailors while cutting income. But Dems won't. It will be "giggle drag queen" till everyone is sick of hearing about it, which won't be long.

Scientists Welcome 'Astronaut,' 'Nobel Winner' George Santos To House Science Committee

Chris D'Angelo
Fri, January 20, 2023 at 8:14 PM GMT+1

Rep. Bill Foster (D-Ill.), a former physicist, is relieved that another “scientific” mind — namely, serial liar Rep. George Santos (R-N.Y.) — has joined the U.S. House Committee on Science, Space, and Technology.

“As the only recipient of the Wilson Prize for High-Energy Particle Accelerator Physics serving in Congress, it can get lonely. Not anymore!” Foster tweeted Thursday, before roasting his new committee colleague.

“I’m thrilled to be joined on the Science Committee by my Republican colleague Dr. George Santos, winner of not only the Nobel Prize, but also the Fields Medal ― the top prize in Mathematics ― for his groundbreaking work with imaginary numbers,” Foster wrote.

Born into a Brazilian family of European background ...
Meaning: White race.

I do a bit of capoeira, the Brazilian dance-based martial art that was developed by the Brazilian families of non-European background, or as the woke liberals would call them, black slaves. For a really entertaining read that will teach you everything you need to know about capoeira, try Carioca Fletch, by a great author, Gregory McDonald.

Anyway, when your Wikipedia biography begins by distinguishing you from half the population of your country, based on race ...

I don't think I have a Wikipedia biography, but if I did, it wouldn't start out "Born into a WASP family of northeastern Pennsylvania Republicans ..." :biggrin:
Out from under. :thumbsup:
