Via Lisa Rubin:

George was in New Hampshire last night at Trump’s party. But his conditions of release prohibit travel outside New York and DC without advanced notice to the prosecution and pretrial services. Did he tell them he was going to NH?

@GottaLaff Habba was also in NH last night. Miraculous recovery after being sick with COVID in court on Monday.

@GottaLaff What are the odds of Pumpkin picking Santos as his running mate?

@riley Or Kari Lake.

@GottaLaff Stalin had a distinct pattern of picking people with flaws that could be easily converted into social stigmas — such as felony convictions — but that wouldn't directly endanger his power as his closest coworkers. Seeing the pattern of combined sycophancy and incompetence in both Trump's cabinet and his legal teams, I think he's trying to follow the same pattern, only he's worse at recognising ability than Stalin was. So, Santos seems to be kind of the best fit: he can do sycophancy; he has a felony indictment hanging on his head; and he's not a threat to Trump's power the way that he'd probably perceive DeSantis, who has actual governing skills, as.

@riley I get that, good point. But Santos? I doubt it. Too much baggage.

@GottaLaff Given Santos' record, I'd dig into that a bit more before accepting it as true.

@GottaLaff "Wait here while I go get the fed who gave me permission," said George Santos before running down the hall and into a utility closet.

    @GottaLaff I’m surprised because he is so defiant.

    Hey...isn't there supposed to be Trump testimony today?

    tiamat271 ,
    @tiamat271@mastodon.online avatar

    @darthstar @GottaLaff The judge postponed the trial for today, supposed to resume Thursday I think. He didn’t give a reason for it. 🤷🏻‍♀️

    GottaLaff OP ,
    @GottaLaff@mastodon.social avatar

    @tiamat271 @darthstar Yes, it's tomorrow. His reason was a juror with COVID

    @darthstar Tomorrow

    @GottaLaff
    Bet he doesn't take the stand... unless he's still mad at Haley for not stepping down. Then he could use the court appearance to rant about that. But he has nothing to say that can help him with the damages trial.

    I know, the judge won't let him do it but he can still try.

    GottaLaff OP ,
    @GottaLaff@mastodon.social avatar

    @darthstar As Weissmann said, judge may have him testify first w/o a jury, then nail him if he veers off course in front of the jury

    IOW, Santos was in New Hampshire last night putting a down payment on a pardon with his fealty JIC Trump is re-elected.

    I am sure that was not the "real" George Santos, it was someone else.😉
