George Santos—Is That Really His Name?

[GreyhoundFan]

More and more revelations are coming out about this guy who was surprisingly elected to the house. Now it appears he was a drag queen in Brazil, an interesting career choice, considering how the Rs hate drag queens almost as much as they hate Hillary and Obama.

The sheer number of fabrications just amazes me.  On a couple of occasions, my husband and I say things like, is that true, or are you George Santos-ing me?  Hope he’s out of our daily conversation soon, but it is horribly fascinating (and frightening) how he slipped into national politics without a background check.  I’ll be interested in discovering where his financing came from.

They'll compromise.  It's not as though they have souls left to sell.

I can barely stand looking at Santos (or whatever his name is).  Aside from his misdeeds, he brings to mind a pairing between Humpty Dumpty and Chucky.  I hope someone can figure out a way to get him out of the House soon.

This is great!

The Onion must hate this guy - nothing they could make up about him will ever be as good as the truth.

[thoughtful]

His performing name, I've read, was Kitara Ravashe.

Kitara is Portuguese for guitar. I couldn't find a translation for the last name, but revache means revenge.

This guy disgusts me for serious reasons, but I have to say, he also pisses me off because I have a lot of trouble remembering names. So someone who has been Anthony Devolder, Anthony Zabrovsky, George Santos and Kitara Ravache (did I miss any?) makes me mad - too many names to remember for one soggy douchebag.

"George," backed by the Fred Demara Memorial Choir, sings:

No need for truth, when you run for office,
I got in, despite my lies!
Millions of voters may suffer,
Just because I’m such a bluffer.

Am I George? Anthony? Kitara?
None of those – here’s a surprise!
Yeah, to hell with truth,
Next I’ll be John Wilkes Booth! *
I got in, despite my lies!

Am I alone, am I lost, in Congress?
Am I shamed and ostracized?
Nope! MTG loves me dearly,
Really, folks! She’s said it, clearly!

I love her, yes I do, I love her!
We have fun, I tell you, guys,
As we walk the halls,
Bouncing poor Kevin’s balls,
We got in, despite our lies!

Despite the many versions of this song, I couldn't find one that just went through the whole tune twice. But, if you don't know it, this is cued up to one rep with the original lyrics.

I've been twisting my head around a bit trying to anagram Santos' name into something meaningful, like in the "Rosemary's Baby" and "Harry Potter" stories, since I find him creepy (among other things).

So far, I've been able to turn George Anthony Devolder Santos into, w/commas added:

strange, drove solo, death, ny gone

As long as Santos is a useful tool for vote counts, they won't get rid of him and his committee assignments are evidence of this.  

He's a walking breathing scandal but more of a footnote to the Republican crazy. 

MGT, Gym Jordan, Lauren Boebert, Gaetz et al., are the scary ones who can do real damage.  I'm honestly not sure EXACTLY what they want to accomplish, other than being chaos agents.  My concern is what is being engineered behind the scenes while they (and Santos) are busy stealing headlines.

Funny how they're not demanding proof be released that he was actually eligible to stand.

[Vivi_music]

No way this man wasn't a Drag Queen or at least isn't a fan of RPDR. 🤣

No straight guy could throw SHADE like that. Not only can he read someone pretty well, he knows all the RPDR lore. Stop denying it George.

Or he's getting all Biblical and renaming other people now: "You're Job, and I'll be . . . ooooh, how about Jonah!"

This appears to be a positive development...Santos is backing off his committee assignments until his ethics and campaign finance issues are resolved.  I suspect the heat is getting too hot for Qevin, but who knows.

Yet another lie. 😜

Why am I not surprised?

I should probably check the betting web sites for the over/under on Santos getting kicked out of the House.  He won't quit willingly; he's got a fat pay check and benefits.  Nobody is speaking up for him; he's a total liability for Republicans except when his staggering malfeasance is a useful distraction from Republican general malfeasance and as a needed vote. 

I give him 6 weeks, but ya never know.  He could be recalled by constituents, he could be given the boot by the House.  One thing to keep in mind -- he was allowed to be in a classified briefing session, which should never have happened.  That he will sell that information to the highest bidder is certain.  It's not just that he's a pathological liar, he has no moral compass, no appropriate boundaries, nothing.

I can't imagine Qevin or any rethuglikans willingly booting him. If they had a 25 seat majority, maybe, but with their razor thin margin, they won't give up a guaranteed vote for the alt-right agenda.

FEC told whatshisname to declare if he’s a candidate or not 

Quote

The Federal Election Commission is asking New York Rep. George Santos to declare whether he plans to run again in 2024 after the Long Island Republican crossed a post-election fundraising threshold that now requires him to make a formal declaration.

In a letter to Santos, the FEC says he has until March 14 to “either disavow these (fundraising and spending) activities by notifying the Commission in writing that you are not a candidate, or redesignate your principal campaign committee by filing a Statement of Candidacy.”

According to an FEC review of Santos’ filings, his campaign committee “has no debts from the previous election cycle and has accepted contributions and/or made expenditures in support of your 2024 candidacy in excess of $5,000, thus meeting the definition of ‘candidate’ per Federal Election Campaign Laws.”
