MUST-READ story here. How'd Santos raise all the money? One way was finding wealthy donors, getting a donation and then going to town with the same credit card with fraudulent charges to numerous Santos-linked campaign entities. One donor ... https://t.co/7pKdeK1RnA

do we have any sympathy for devolder?

any reason we should?

im saving the sympathy until any consequences actually land!

(at which point i will withhold it -- unless of course he continues to be hilarious)

guess I fucked up my own joke then:

Just as every cop is a criminal
And all the sinners Santos
As heads is tails
Just call me Lucifer
'Cause I'm in need of some restraint

NEW: I just spoke by phone with Eula Rochard, a Brazilian drag queen who was friends with George Santos when he lived near Rio. She said everyone knew him as Anthony (*never* George), or by his drag name, Kitara, and confirms this photo is from a 2008 drag show at Icaraí Beach. pic.twitter.com/1MeeDR1O2O

this is a busy guy!

i love him

1) THREAD: PAY ATTENTION to this George Santos MAGA Moment. A video surfaced this week of Santos introducing himself as Anthony Devolder. He said he organized a group United For Trump at a rally on 3/23/19 with charged insurrectionist, Brandan Straka of Walk Away. pic.twitter.com/FTWTKRRfFj

We need to import this quality of politician to the UK.

do we have any sympathy for devolder?

― the shaker intro bit the shaker outro in the tail, hard (breastcrawl)

maybe something bad happened to him in the past that made him be like this but it's impossible to know because we have no idea what events actually happened in his life

my new theory is that he is actually twins or triplets all pretending to be one guy via subterfuge, as in the Christopher Nolan movie The Prestige

also he is Booji Boy

correct

https://www.washingtonpost.com/politics/2023/01/18/santos-mother-sept-11/

Rep. George Santos (R-N.Y.) has said his mother was inside one of the World Trade Center towers when they were attacked on Sept. 11, 2001, but immigration records indicate that Santos’s mother wasn’t in the United States on that day.

plot twist: she was flying the plane

George Santos's mother was Tania Head?

she's tania hearst

George Santos Allegedly Took $3,000 From Dying Dog’s GoFundMe

They are going to tell tall tales about this man someday

I know this horse has been beaten to death, but it's amazing that this guy has, daily, a new scandal that would have been career ending pre-2000s, but even if total it amounts to jack shit.

"in total"

Georgina Santísima is her drag name.

very "that's not me in the video" vibes

https://upload.wikimedia.org/wikipedia/en/b/b1/Shaggy-wasn%27t-me.jpg

I am not gonna lie, the story about the dog tipped me over into “this isn’t a human being, this is movie character” territory and I know am just waiting for the next ridiculous revelation with a level of anticipation that I will absolutely regret once he manages to do something consequential on a national level

"The reports that I beat Morgan Wallen and stole his car are shocking and insane. I didn't steal his car, he offered it to me."

"Lots of people whose cars I didn't steal have been sending me messages thanking me for not stealing their cars."

"I did not dress that dog up in drag."

https://i.makeagif.com/media/1-05-2016/ND8MN_.gif

“Over the past 24hr I have received pictures of my drag Queen “performances” throughout the years along with supportive messages.”

Isn't Santos made out of pure negative id, a folk devil made from left over fear after the pandemic.
LIke if you look back into his past long enough are you going to find out that he never actually existed. Just manifest to feed off other people's panic

That sounds like a Coscarelli horror movie

Brazilian outlet Piauí has resurfaced an incredible 2021 interview with George Santos, where he claimed he was just mugged on Fifth Avenue in broad daylight—they stole his *shoes*—and said he planned to donate his entire congressional salary to "four NGOs" https://t.co/n9PG6vuDW0

the intersection he claims he was mugged at is one block from trump tower

A clearer photo of Kitara, but there's so much deep-fakery these days, this could've been made by a 14 year old for all we know

In an interview with CNN, Rochards said that it’s Santos in the pictures, adding that she knew him from LGBTQ events he attended in the town of Niterói, near Rio de Janeiro, where she said he was well known in the gay community.

Rochards said she recognized Santos from a recent news report and dug up the old pictures but was surprised to learn that Santos was a Republican.

“I don’t know him now, I only knew him then,” she said.

I once worked with a guy who was a pathological liar. Everyone knew it, but didn't really care because he was sort of childlike and his lies were of the variety of "I ran into Kanye West and he gave me a tape of his new album but then this guy dressed as Spiderman stole it from me on the bus."

that's more plausible than some of the Santos ones

reminds me of when MTG was first elected and it was discovered she had a "sex guru" who was tracked down and interviewed and one of the things he said was "I thought I knew her pretty well, she was not like this at all". Madison Cawthorn has maybe a similar story. I know a lot of people were worried that we were gonna wind up with a lot of Trump-like figures in politics post 2016 but I think the reality is we're getting a bunch of Omarosas

The wife of a good friend of mine went to high school with Marge Taylor (as she was then known). Her recollection is that she was "completely unremarkable."

There was a good article in the Atlantic about how all of these reactionary movements around the world (the author focused on Poland, but it was applicable to most of them) are really giving an opportunity for revenge to the utter mediocrities of the world.

I actually know very little about Santos' politics, the myth has greatly overshadowed any policy leanings.. is he trumpy?

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. https://t.co/RJQ7eP8n8x

ok I'm actually starting to come around on this guy

I know everyone is talking about how George Santos wrote a fake wiki that said he appeared on Hannah Montana, but I’m obsessed with his alleged movie that starred three of the actors from Batman and Robin. pic.twitter.com/x7ugThowYA

Can anyone confirm Vance is on Ozempic?
He’s looking thin and good! 👍🏼

So my weirdo congressman has a gimmicky office Christmas party, and this year he made this thread title come true (somewhat — no mommy-kissing was documented).

CENTRAL ISLIP, N.Y. (AP) — Former U.S. Rep. George Santos sentenced to 87 months in prison for fraud and identity theft.

I saw daddy pardoning santos (george)

George Santos was clearly put on Earth solely to inspire the classic thread title,

outrageous. on what charge? scamming a puppy? a succulent newborn puppy?

see you later boo

bye felonicia

You have the right to remain fabulous

Fetterman / Santos '28

:-(

https://www.yahoo.com/news/articles/former-rep-george-santos-cries-001509465.html

It sounds unglamourous

Within hours of my arrival, a man walked right up to me, no hesitation, and said, 'You're the congressman, but you can call me the senator,'" he recalled.

lol

Who is the Whip?

The 37-year-old former drag queen

lol

I dont think we have to talk about this loser anymore tbh.

Ah, the memories he gave us all!

I particularly recall him consulting tête-à-tête with Marge Greene on the floor of the House as he helped to torpedo Kevin McCarthy's election as Speaker across dozens of votes, until Kevin caved in to all their demands whereby he cut his own throat.

COMMUTED

He’s back, Bitches!

game recognize game

actually Vance / Santos 2028, dream team

lol of course

If this doesn't justify the return of Kitara Ravash, then nothing does. Because first, he was afraid...

i guess it's all jokes and we live in the season of horror but still this pisses me off among all the other things big and small

oh for sure, this is arguably the worst pardon yet

Mr. Trump acknowledged the former congressman’s penchant for fabrication. “He lied like hell,” Mr. Trump said. “And I didn’t know him, but he was 100 percent for Trump.”

I didn’t know him

lol ice cold

sure Mariah

arguably the worst pardon yet

the J6 oathkeepers and proud boys pardons were arguably much worse

every single thing he's done is awful; i don't think we need to compare/argue about the levels of awfulness

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=CurMd3I0o4k

Jan 6th ones were way worse. Get a pardon if you’re rich, sure we’re numb to that one at this point. Stage a coup and you’ll all be forgiven is another level.

Fuck you @CurtisSliwa I HATE YOU, your dumb wife, that stupid Beret of yours and all your fucking cats!

— George Santos (@MrSantosNY) November 5, 2025

sanka time for georgie

is this really the emerging narrative? Curtis Sliwa cost Cuomo the election? gimme a fucking break

I mean Eric Adams still got over 6,000 votes. I doubt every Sliwa voter would have gone for Cuomo if he'd dropped out.

by the current posted totals, even with all of Sliwa's votes, all of Adam's votes, and all write-ins, Mamdani still wins

(if all those went to Cuomo)

their harebrained theory I’ve seen is that Sliwa sticking in made prospective Cuomo voters so sad that they stayed home and didn’t vote. but a hell of a lot of people voted!
