My personal thoughts on the santos/Romney situation.

[TurboDem]

I think santos positioned himself on the aisle because he was somehow going to disrupt President Biden's reception when he entered the house chamber, but when Romney dressed him down on his way in it threw santos off his game and he couldn't go through with his plans. Just speculating this morning, and now I'm off to work.

1. He wanted an embarrassing photo of Biden shaking his hand. Whether Biden would have fallen for that

I seriously doubt, but I thank Romney for stepping in, regardless.

2. Indeed!

Romney did a good thing.

3. The scumbag was up to no good.

4. Yes a narcissistic sociopath wanting the aisle seat is not usually a good sign.

They are up to something.

But could Romney have that much power over Santos to make him stop his plan?

5. Romney tried to shame him, but evidently Santos was born without an iota of conscience or guilt

Santos is truly a shameless creature

And he knows he won't be removed from Congress

6. Right I saw Santos mouth off to Romney who had turned to walk away.

Santos is seen mouthing off and smirking.

That is why I am not sure if R could dissuade him from anything.

Santos is a sociopath. He has no empathy or shame.
No conscience. He is a good representative of the GOP, fits right in.

7. every now and then old mit tries to make the gop look moral

a harder and harder task

aisle seats are great for quick exits.
as i get older and bathroom trips more frequent i have come to relish them even more.

Santos has few friends there
Romney used him for a punching bag (supposedly...might have just been show) in front of all them cameras.

speech over? out the door. no awkward gotcha interviews. no repulsive glare photo opps by your fellow congress types.
There was no plus for him to stick around...out the the door quick like a bunny.

at least that is what i would do.
