i saw mommy kissing santos (george)

To distract myself from my tiresome cranky attire opinions, I looked backwards in my post history and found this:

What I want: people like him to either get the help they need or, at least, remain far from the levers of power.

What I'd settle for: people like him to be removed from positions of power. Preferably with some punishment for the manifold deceptions and grifts.

What I'll probably get: this guy skating away with precisely zero consequences, and with a self-serving narrative about how he's the real victim here.

Sigh.

Looks like we're midway between options 2 and 3.

He has, in the intervening four days, stumbled across a path to making a living that dwarfs the $174,000 salary he earned as a member of Congress. In fact, Santos said — and screenshots and the CEO of Cameo confirmed — that he has lined up more than that sum in his first 48 hours on the platform.

...

Santos “is going to be an absolute whale,” Cameo’s founder and CEO, Steven Galanis, told Semafor. His launch, Galanis said, is among the platform’s best ever: “Sarah Jessica Parker, Bon Jovi — he’s putting numbers up like that,” he said.

Hope he doesn’t steal their credit card info!

can't keep a good man down!

Georgie used to work on the docks

“Obviously there’s a monetary benefit — I’m not here doing it for charity — but the other aspect is to remind these assholes who think they’re holier-than-thou that they will be forgotten in history and I will live forever, period,” he said.

that's definitely what i think when i see someone doing a cameo video too

"Shut up"

"You shut up"

"I will live forever, period"

"Tell it to Earth"

"Mommmm...."

he'll probably die cutting in line at a Falafel stand in Times Square

this thread title is driving me nuts!

We should get a Cameo of him singing the song

“Obviously there’s a monetary benefit — I’m not here doing it for charity — but the other aspect is to remind these assholes who think they’re holier-than-thou that they will be forgotten in history and I will live forever, period,” he said.

He’s gonna learn how to fly, high

look at what happened to me

I admit I’m kind of coming around on this guy

Sure, now that he has no position in governing the country it's possible to like him on some level. He has a certain amount of charisma, even though he's a thoroughly irresponsible person, scammer, and hopeless liar.

Yeah sure why not

(R-NY) (Furry/Beavapus)

somebody paid $500 for that.

Fake it till you make it

Can I just say that beaver-slash-platypus is pretty cool, sure. But beaver-slash-OCTOPUS would be frickin awesome?

Octobeaver. Tell me you wouldn't watch that movie if it were done Sharknado style

James Bond already did it

surely the beavapus portmanteau is meant to evoke vaginae?

Probably, but for me it's more fun to think about the actual animals.

I can’t get past “I’m so happy the management at Arby’s allowed you to come to work in your fursona”

tho now that i think of it octobeaver does as well, nvm

i wonder what octomom is up to these days anyway

Does the octobeaver have eight legs or eight tails or a mix thereof? Inquiring minds want to know.

i'm envisioning more of a pantycthulu

aw, she seems to be doing well!

lol okay the Beavapus thing was a prank from the Jimmy Kimmel show

...and there is now evidently a legal dispute about whether a TV prank constitutes commercial vs. personal use, which changes the Cameo pricing structure.

I think Santos might actually be right on this! I think they've shown weird Cameos before from guys like Scaramucci but when it's requested specifically to generate content for the show, yeah I think that's probably commercial use

must be some teeth to the dispute too, despite claiming he had a bunch of these on Monday that they'd show throughout the week they haven't done any since

leaning way too hard into this villain shit now. dude had an impressive run but he's basically just a more successful version of Scaramucci. feel like he's got about 2 weeks of this quasi-fame left

Ziwe: What can we do to get you to go away?
George Santos: Stop inviting me to your gigs.
Ziwe: The lesson is to stop inviting you places?
George Santos: But you can’t cuz people want the content.pic.twitter.com/Osz05aw9qL

headline good: Republicans livid as chaos threatens to cannibalize House majority

final paragraph better: “Amid Friday's chaos, disgraced former Rep. George Santos announced he's leaving the Republican Party to run for Congress in New York as an independent — saying the GOP was too embarrassing.”

Alas, he flew too close to the sun (again)

Kitara makes a cameo on.. well, Cameo

“It’s your favourite, Kitara. After 18 years in the closet, George Santos pulled me back out, whatever,” Mr. Santos says in the footage.
