  1. John Stewart says in the clip just a few posts up that shameless people can do the most shameful things. And I'm on record that shamelessness is an evil superpower on par with invisibility and x-ray vision.
  2. I'm mostly with you there. There's one possible exception though who the NYT discussed in a recent article about his office back in Long Island. https://www.nytimes.com/2023/01/30/nyregion/george-santos-district-office.html Sure, everyone on Santos' staff is going to use some version of this line. But this dude is is retirement age, at the local office (not Washington), and has ton of experience in the position. Hopefully through him the people of Long Island gave at least one dependable person in the district.
  3. I like this one: This is 2019. He had settled on his grift but hadn't fully developed his character yet- here he's just a trendy(ish) gay kid from Queens. He also didn't really understand government speak yet, as he clumsily demanded payment from the Democrats' "congressional, and Senators, and whatever salaries they get."
  4. He means that there are older, authentic tweets from Santos that say same or similar things. For instance there's one of his from 2 years ago in which he calls Biden a pathological liar.
  5. There are 19 pages of speculation. Get to work.
  6. OK. It took me 3 attempts (and not because it's long) but I made it through his OAN interview. https://www.oann.com/video/oan-contribution/oan-exclusive-caitlin-sinclair-sits-down-with-rep-george-santos/ This guy is something else. The level of victimhood, masked as accountability, here is truly remarkable.
  7. Mother Jones with a small follow up to there big story last week: https://www.motherjones.com/politics/2023/02/george-santos-campaign-funds-donors-scandal/ On another note, word is that the reason Santos was pressured off his committees is that the Republicans intend to push Ilan Omar off of hers, but they know that the already slim chance of success will be virtually impossible if George is still sitting on committees.
  8. That reminds me of a great article a while back.. https://www.nytimes.com/2023/01/17/style/george-santos-style.html
  9. She's active on twitter but no mention of Mr Devolver (err... Santos) Cap Hill Comms Director huh? So she's desperate/depraved enough to work for him but at least she has the good sense not to brag about it. I have to think his entire staff is like this. They'll wallow in the shit, but I'm sure they all have their explanations at the ready when the inevitable happens.
  10. Sunday morning catch up... There's no real hard hitting news since Mother Jones delivered the bomb earlier in the week, but here's a smattering of absurdaties: https://www.politico.com/news/2023/01/27/where-santos-really-stands-in-the-house-gop-00079755 https://www.foxnews.com/politics/george-santos-delivers-speech-holocaust-remembrance-lying-jewish-heritage He tweeted his actual speech, and others have reported on the irony/trollishness of it. But it's interesting to see in on Fox, as this is one they could have completely ignored. https://www.rollingstone.com/politics/politics-news/george-santos-sing-karaoke-app-smule-1234669746/ Anyone want to hear our buddy bust out "Let it Go"? There are a few examples of George's work in the link if you dare.
  11. We actually don't know that. In his amended filing last week- fraudulently submitted under the name of a *new* treasurer who denies taking the job- he unchecked the box that previously indicated that those funds were from him personally.
  12. Doesn't article say he's got more 199.99 documentations than everyone else combined? I'd like to hear from someone in the know as well, but I don't think it's like the typical reimbursement or company card limits that us common folk deal with,-in which we document for as much as we can get when we go over.
  13. Ugh. I don't really want to get into it again, but look it up. The suicide rate, particularly for narcissists, is higher not lower.
  14. That's the cliffs notes version of it. See the ABC story that the above article links for the real meat of it. BTW, the filing in question just so happens to be the one in which Santos says nevermind to the hundreds of thousands of dollars that he reportedly loaned his campaign.
  15. https://politicalwire.com/2023/01/25/santos-lists-new-treasurer-who-denies-working-for-him/ Santos Lists New Treasurer Who Denies Working for Him January 25, 2023 at 8:25 pm EST By Taegan Goddard 214 Comments “With a disclosure filing deadline approaching as questions swirl around his use of campaign funds, embattled Rep. George Santos’ campaign appears to be left without a treasurer,” ABC News reports. “On Wednesday, several fundraising committees associated with the freshman congressman from New York filed amendments to their statements of organizations, notifying the Federal Election Commission of a new treasurer.” “But the newly listed treasurer, Thomas Datwyler, a veteran campaign finance treasurer who has served on multiple other political organizations, says he does not work for the Santos campaign and that the filings were signed under his name without his consent.”
  16. Oh he's gay. My guess is that his marriage to a woman was related to some immigration thing, and his "husband" was just his boyfriend who fucked off and went back to wherever he's from (word is Brazil) when the pressure ramped up. There's something shady there, of course, and I'm sure that'll drop eventually. For now he's a ghost.
  17. Nope. There's been no sign of him. George didn't bring him to his signing in, no longer mentions a husband in his bio (curiously all of the other lies are still there) and isn't wearing a ring. As for husband's history, people have been digging a bit but drawing blanks. For instance, he is supposedly a pharmacist based in NY but there's no record of his license with the state.
  18. OK. Back to your regularly scheduled programming: This is significant. George Santos Admits 500K Personal Loan to Campaign Wasn’t ‘Personal’ It’s been one of the biggest mysteries surrounding George Santos: Where did he get his money? In an amended filing, Santos admits a big chunk wasn’t his. https://www.thedailybeast.com/george-santos-admits-500k-personal-loan-to-campaign-wasnt-personal?via=newsletter&source=DDAfternoon&utm_source=Sailthru&utm_medium=email&utm_campaign=230124-Digest PM&utm_term=G List Daily Beast Newsletter PM
  19. If Deadwood is wrong I don't want to be right.
  20. Pfft. Allow me to tell you the story about a little 8 year old Hooch who snuck out of his room late one night and decided that some movie on HBO called Deliverance looked cool: Not cool. Not cool at all.
