You just know he’s sitting there trying to figure out how to become speaker.
He hasn’t been this sad since his dog died in the Hindenburg disaster. >

I thought his dog died in the Hercules Powder plant explosion. 🤷🏻‍♂️ 
Actually, his dog died in both. >

Fake news.  His dog died in the Bowling Green massacre.  It was killed by the Gaspacho police. >

Um no, it was in the space shuttle Challenger explosion, and it was his cat. Get your facts straight! >

Guys, guys.  C'mon, be more respectful.  The dude lost his mom yesterday in 9/11 >

2022 >

What a piece of shit. >

I hope is unhappy and miserable, I truly do >

busy texting his wife, morgan fairchild >

That’s the ticket. >

They should nominate him for speaker, he's the physical manifestation of the modern GOP. >

What if every Democrat voted for him tomorrow on the first ballot? >

No. It looks too good for Jeffries to be at the top of the list each vote. We should be thankful no one has nominated Trump cause the crazy caucus might actual vote for him for fear of losing their next primary. >

How many votes do you think trump would get?  I think all the votes for Mccarthy could stick with Mccarthy. 
I know that historically Mccarthy was obsequious to trump, but I think that is all over. >

I'd get all of the Votes, all 500 of them, even the Radical Left would vote for me because I'm too good at speaking not to be Speaker.  Obama almost couldn't make it through a Speech but yet the Fake News was fine with it, they said it's fine, I came in did an Incredible Job and they didn't even wanna talk about it, it's really probably a record for Presidential Harassment with how unfairly I've been treated, we wouldn't even have a Country if it wasn't for me. >

Word is he's got cooties. >

Worse than that, nobody in the GOP wants footage of themself sitting next to him to appear in their opponent's 2024 campaign commercial. >

When talking to AOC is less taboo, you know you’re in trouble. >

It’s just the chronic pain he suffers since losing his legs on the beach at Normandy. >

Is there any indication that he's hired a Chief of Staff, or anyone at all ?
There was a long-haired blonde woman trying to keep up with him in the House building basement when he was (mildly hilariously) pursued by reporters into a dead-end.   She looked terrified.
His campaign manager was a young GOP organizer from Ohio;  I don't see any evidence (just surfing LinkedIn) that he's joined the DC staff.
Santos didn't even bring his husband to the House floor, and wasn't wearing his wedding band.   
He deserves the scorn and ridicule he is getting, but wow, his feelings of abandonment must be measurable from space. >

Man if I were him I'd never even have showed up.  I'd've already left for that SE Asia backpacking trip I've never once dreamed of. >

With what money? He is unhireable for the rest of eternity. He is severely fucked unless he tries to milk the shit out of this and rebuild himself. I hate the guy but yeh. >

Nah this guy could have a spot on Fox nation or something easy. >

Zero is going to happen to this guy during this Congress. He won’t be on any committees. The Republicans will keep him around as a vote and nothing more. He is the mascot of the Republican controlled House. >

Bingo, just like boebert was a washed up wannabe actress. It's all just performative. Santos should have just gone all in on the character. >

When you don't get invited to the cocaine orgy. >

He and Cawthorne can hold their own cocaine orgy, with blackjack and hookers.  Hookers can even be cousins! >

Or the hookers could even be sisters! >

So, for four years he's just going to show up at the office and do .....nothing....all day?  That's an excellent grift. >

Two years, no? >

This is good tea >

He cannot be sworn in until the speaker is selected. >

He claimed he was sworn in today 😂 >

He got sworn at.  Some people were heard swearing at him. >

I always tell my kids that nobody wants to play with kids that lie. Guess Santos’ mother never taught him that lesson >

Well, tbf she may have tried… >

Until she died on 9/11. In 2016 >

😁 Yeah, well, I may have misspoke; now I see that the brouhaha about his “alleged” crime in Brazil involved his mother as well… >

Stupid question... let's say George doesn't meet the citizenship requirements to be a US Representative (namely the fact that you need to be a citizen for at least 7 years). What happens?
Just saying it makes me feel a little dirty due to the recent ugly history of Birtherism, but it feels like a justified question here. Santos has alternately claimed to be born in Brazil and in Queens, so his story is pretty convoluted, and obviously he has a history of lying. >

It's easy to resolve this. The Brazilian government is after him, and if he was born there they will have paperwork saying so. >

Eh even if he was born there it doesn't prove he hasn't been a citizen of the United States for sufficient time (he's actually claimed to be a duel US/Brazil citizen too). >

It is going to be interesting to see if both Santos and the Republicans can really resist the pressure for him to step aside. He's clearly an embarrassment to everyone involved. At some point, the media will tire of the story and will move on, so it'll be interesting to see if Santos and the Repubs can wait this out. There has certainly been numerous precedents on both sides that if you can ignore the pressure for long enough, at some point it becomes old news. And the Repub.'s have such a slim margin that I expect that they will really try to avoid giving up the seat. >

This is the true-life version of selling your soul to the devil. He gave up everything for this seat, including the ability to grift while in the seat, which was the whole point of having it in the first place! So he has what he wants but can't do much with it! >

Genuine question. Is there anything he has told the truth about? >

Poor pitiful prick! >

Picks pathetic peeping petunias! >

What? they haven't welcomed him to the Liars' Club? >

He looks like 13 year old me when I had to sit at the little kids table because there wasn't enough room at the big table and some dumbass always managed to spill their drink. >

Dems avoiding him because he’s a liar.  Reps avoiding him because he got caught. >

Do they wear makeup on the floor? >

Many members do. >

He should be sitting at home and the rational wing of the GOP needs to get him to resign. >

What is this ‘rational wing’ you speak of? >

The most rational that they could muster were voted out. >

His totally real friends are just outside the frame. >

When even Gosar won’t talk to you, those are hard times, indeed >

I hope he has a miserable and and only used by the GQP before they toss him out on his lying ass, the unqualified jackass >

No lie, he is the new Ted Cruz >

I heard he walked to work today and it was all uphill. Uphill going home too. >

He looks like a kid who got left at the bus stop by his parents, which probably happened in real life. >

He got caught. That's his only difference from the other pathological liars in the GOP. >

I really hope no one feels sorry for him. >

Are we even sure this is the real george santos? >

Oh the liar Republicans are lying with him >

I bet Milli Vanilli is his favorite band >

My representative ladies and gentleman 👏👏👏
2024 can't come soon enough to vote this man out. >

Do people in your district feel like chumps? Or are they doubling down, Trump supporter style? >

Ehh I don't think they're trump supporters (remember this was a Biden +10 district) and I haven't seen too much doubling down. The only real reason he won the seat was because the message of "democrats are doing nothing against crime" was realllllly effective this year in NY as a whole that and that NY states dems didn't almost nothing to help >

George Santos should be elected Speaker. He aptly represents everything the GOP stands for. They're all a bunch of lying frauds. >

A. He'll get through this like a champ. He's cut from the cloth of survivors, after all. His grandparents survived the Nazis and went on to invent x-ray glasses.
B. At the end of the day, he's the only congressman who goes home to the loving arms of his husband, Henry Cavill.
C. Just you watch, he'll win them over with the super powers he acquired from the Gods in a mysterious ceremony at the summit of Mt. Credulous. >

Until the Republicans need him then they are all pals again! >

His he wearing lipstick? >

In a room full of liars and grifters, you're not special, George. >

Is there a way to just fire him at this point? Theres too much dead weight in congress. >

He’s like the weird kid who told everyone in junior high that his dad is a secret CIA agent and that he’s a CIA agent too, and then got exposed for his bullshit, except he’s actually not 12, but grown ass man. >

Sad day for the 3rd district. >

That’s not george santos…
e: was a joke about…never mind >

I will be completely unsurprised to be informed that George Santos was murdered a year ago and that he's buried as a 'John Doe'. >

Homer Simpson, smiling politely. >

should this be in r/aww? is there an r/poo? it may fit better there. >

Sit and spin (a tale)… >

And you may ask yourself, "Well, how did I get here?"
