So glad this guy got kicked out. The fact that it took so long makes me want to kick out the corrupt politicians who supported him as well.
You should want to kick out corrupt politicians for other reasons.
Any bets on her ass getting kicked out of the Drag scene, too?
I mean, it’s not like the other drag queens are going to forget what he said about them… or the rank hypocrisy
To my knowledge George Santos practices drag but doesn’t identify as trans. When in doubt it’s good to just use they/them.
while they’re in drag, it’s generally customary to use ‘she’. Outside of drag… it’s whatever they prefer. I might be out of date on that one, though.
Different performers have different preferences - there isn’t a universe rule.
Clothes are just clothes - they aren’t a determiner of gender and different folks have different motivations for why they want to wear drag.
Clothes are just clothes - they aren’t a determiner of gender
Except when those clothes make a character/persona. Drag characters/personas are by definition female unless stated otherwise, regardless of the gender identity of the performer.
That “unless stated otherwise” is doing a lot of heavy lifting to keep your statement technically correct - there are plenty of drag performers that I’m familiar with that prefer masculine or gender neutral pronouns.
This all comes back to the original comment above that blithely used “she” even though I don’t believe Santos has ever stated how they’d like to be referred when wearing drag.

Plenty but nowhere near enough to be the norm.
This all comes back to the original comment above that blithely used “she” even though I don’t believe Santos has ever stated how they’d like to be referred when wearing drag.
Again, the accepted rule in the drag community is that the CHARACTER is to be referred to as female unless otherwise stated.
Referring to drag characters using male or certain gender neutral pronouns such as “it” is widely considered to be a sign of bigotry unless the performer has specifically said to.
“George” “Santos” hasn’t, so the correct and non-bigoted pronouns are feminine ones.
I just want to see the drag bar full of Log Cabin Republicans pretending to be Not Gay.
I never understood log cabin republicans. like. you know?
Religious conservatism mixed with an unflinching need to get dicked down. Think Senator Lindsey Graham.
Basically Jews for Hitler.
He is also apparently a lemmy mod. Hi George!
Hi Kitara!
As both of yours’ sockpuppet and also George Santos, I would also like to say hello.
I see your comments absolutely everywhere on Lemmy. To the extent that I’ll think to myself, “oh, there’s the flying squid again.” Like seeing an acquaintance around town. Makes me think this town is actually pretty small.
Probably, but also, at the moment, I’m both not working and suffering from a long-term illness, so it gives me a lot of time on my hands.
On top of that, I’m a mod on a bunch of communities, so I try to stay active in them to monitor them.
So I’m sure it’s a bunch of factors.
That makes sense. Carry on, winged cephalopod guardian of Lemmy
Wait what?
Lol there is some user that is a fighter pilot, army medic, huge salary, multiple properties in multiple states, can spend a million a year for the rest of his life and not run out, and spends 20+ hours a day on lemmy. I definitely missed more of his achievements but the point is, it’s George Santos!
Oh wow I just got wooshed and missed the joke lol
All good, it was mostly meant for George to read, although sometimes I don’t think he knows how.
The only thing I want to hear about this piece of shit is what his sentence is & when he reports to prison.
That would be one of the things he said was fake news, right? Just checking.
he has pledged to donate 20 percent of his Cameo earnings to charity, explicitly mentioning Tunnel to Towers and the International Fellowship of Christians and Jews in his announcement.
His lying ass won’t donate a cent. What a disgrace to drag performers worldwide.
Santos wrote, “I just single-handedly made the left hate Drag queens lol,”
Nah dude, we just hate you.
And the left wouldn’t vote for Tim Scott, that’s how you know they’re the real racists!!!111!
I’d watch a comedy movie (possibly also sequels) about a Santos/Ravache presidential campaign. Might just be “Mrs. Doubtfire Does D.C.” but if the ridiculousness of this whole Santos thing was toned down enough to be believable, it could be entertaining.
Which one of them is the VP?
I’d lean toward Ravache as VP since these are republicans we’re talking about. Could set up some references to Palin that way too.
Not sure how to work it in yet but Ravache sounds a bit like “la vache” which is French for “the cow”. I’m sure there’s comedy to be milked from that but it could be a load of bull.
Or we could just stop talking about him forever. Jesus, it’s worse than the Kardashians…
He’s the Tammy Faye Baker of the Covfefecene.
