Loneliness And Cupcakes: How Santos Is Spending His First Few Weeks In Congress

Wondering what the Anna Delvey of Capitol Hill Rep. George Santos (R-CA) has been up to the last few weeks – besides dodging reporters and claiming he knows nothing about those FEC filings? It seems he is trying to make the best out of the time he has in Congress.

Definitely a piece of work in this person.

What Santos needs is some floor votes in the House. With just a 5 critter margin, he’ll have plenty of colleagues speaking to him then, just like during the votes for Speaker.

I think the circle of attention needs to be widen beyond Santos. Again who willing is working as a staff member for this guy in DC and in NY?
We heard about George missing out on the WH reception for new members, supposedly because he didn’t want a background check, and to submit is SSN. He certainly had to fill in SSN on something to get his paychecks…

I wonder if Santos is acknowledging Holocaust Remembrance Day today? If for no other reason than to remember his family members who were lost.

“Any outside observer can tell you that this is someone who is absolutely, thoroughly, completely loving the attention he’s getting."

So, ignore him … but amp up the investigations and bring on the indictments.

And kick his lying ass out of Congress.

Until he’s convicted of a serious crime he’s going to stay right where he is. In other words he’ll serve a full 2 year term.

I would suggest a total abandonment of confronting George for at least 3 days, then we can see how he acts.
Just like Trump all this attention is feeding something he craves, attention. Turn off the camera lights for awhile, and wait to see what he does next.

Maybe even after that. Qevin’s vote margin right now is +9. If Santos rots in prison unable to vote, the margin drops to +8. If they expel him and a democrat wins the special election (likely), the margin drops to +7.

C’mon, journalists, inquiring minds want to know: Are those real (i.e., prescription) eyeglasses Santos is wearing, or are they fake (i.e., clear lenses) like everything else about him?

Santos didn’t sing on Wednesday night but he did reportedly tell friends his song of choice. ​​“I Will Survive.”

I have a more appropriate choice for him.

ETA: A twinge of sadness for me seeing Christine McVie in this.

Okay, so Santos (Devolder??) is another Kyrsten Sinema. Bet he would outshine her in one of his dresses.

Good. He’s s a daily reminder of who the republicans are and what they stand for.

The old adage about Washington being Hollywood for ugly people applies here. Santos is like the weird outcast in school who didn’t fit into but for obvious reasons. What if he doesn’t show up, or occasionally does for votes but just goes clubbing in DC every night. It’s the Santos rave party.
