Well, death would open up additional options, but there aren’t currently any obvious signs of imminent death due to natural causes on Santos’ part (though if he ever releases a note from his doctor telling us how healthy he is, it might be time to reevaluate).

My wife said she saw speculation that his name isn’t even George Santos because apparently during roll call or something they called his name several times and he just sat there, oblivious, like he didn’t know they were talking to him. I doubt that’s the case, but if so, that’s hilarious.

I do like the Colonel Sanders moniker.

Santos needs the paycheck. Only a deal to avoid prison will get him out. He’s made friends there.
