Clicking images on blog will enlarge them

This is what the main page on HUFFPOST looked like this morning:

I thought calling George “Secret Santos” was clever and following this with his threat to “reveal all” with an exclamation point was yummy clickbait.

Ousted George Santos Plots Revenge Against Ex-House Colleagues In Online Tear

The disgraced congressman fired off a series of tweets promising to file ethics complaints against some of the House members who voted him out.

Then I read the article (link above) and had a response which I put in this comment:

“I saw the all caps headline opening page – “Secret Santos” (nice) to “reveal all! – pretty good – but was hoping he’d actually have something worthwhile. I was hoping for some good Hanukkah gelt from the fake Jew, but he really gave us bubkis.”

As I was writing this the Santos X-storm was being discussed on the Jonathan Capehart show on MSNBC:

Just out of curiosity I decided to take a look at his X page. For those of you who dare to click on X it is here.

This is what it looks like (clicking on my images won’t go to X, it will just enlarge them as they are screen grabs):

Note above that his pinned post had 1.4 thousand replies, 6.1 thousand likes and was seen 7.3 million times.

Above top left is his pinned posted which just says “Chapter II. I wasn’t sure if this meant the second charpter in his saga or the part of the Bible I referenced so I added my own reply. I also shared some of the images people posted among the 1.4 k replies, some postive but most of them were negative.

Santos has over 94 thousand followers on X. I won’t follow Santos on X but he is followed by Duty to Warn and 10 people I respect who I do follow (cliick next image):

Below is the second and third posts on his X page and a repost from Vish Burra’s page. I couldn’t find any articles about Burra declaring that he was planning to run for Congress.

The post by Dion Cini led me to spend 15 minutes to switch the candidates so I could make the illustration for this blog.

I also posted this on Santo’s X page ( I meant “can’t” be charged with crimes):

Here’s the TPM article about Vish Burra. If you read it you’d be struck by how he was actually much more qualified to be in Congress than Santos.

This being said, Santos is the infamous one and could actually keep himself in the news if he declared that he was going to run for president as an independent.

He doesn’t have to file papers to run or try to raise any money to campaign. He laps up being in the media spotlight like a hungry kitten laps up cream. He must know that he’ll be yesterday’s news before long. In fact, today may actually be the yesterday unless he does something newsworthy before tomorrow.

Now that I am posting this blog I’m headed back to X to post a link to it on the Santos page. I’m curious as to whether anyone will repost or reply to it. Ideally Mr.SantosNY will have an X response.
