I'm already impressed with Mayor Mamdani. What a tremendous feat for a first time mayor - and so quickly!

Now just go the fuck back to Brazil and stay there you piece of shit criminal.

I swear I saw his sorry ass out in Montana a couple summers ago, when he still held his seat in Congress. I was picking chokecherries at a public access to the Yellowstone River and he was with some well off trumpster who was acting as a personal guide. A shiny SUV came swooping in and this guy, who looked just like what's his name, jumps out and proceeds to wave a fishing pole around like he's fly fishing in a spot where fishing isn't really an activity for that location due to people and dogs along the shoreline, there's a boat launch but not a 'fishing area'. He snags a small fish, a throw back - not catch and release style, makes a big deal about it with his companion who takes some pictures then they both hop back into the SUV and as they drive off I hear the santos-looking guy excitedly say something about checking that off his bucket list. Simply a photo-op, was there all of ten minutes if that.

I had a very strong feeling that it was him. The town is one where lots of famous people come to wave sticks around and go home to brag about fly fishing in the Yellowstone, saw it regularly, but not at that location where nobody fishes. There are some who actually do know how to fly fish and some of them own homes in the area but this clown was not one of those, he was totally out of his element from what I saw.

I couldn't confirm it was him but I'm pretty sure it was.

envisioning it. To complete the picture, was he swinging around a regular fishing pole or did he use an actual fly rod?

A bass fishing pole, didn't have a fly reel. In the OP I mistakenly said Snake River, which is Idaho, I lived near that river years prior to when I was along the Yellowstone, this happened on the Yellowstone.

That guy was a bona fide stick waver, didn't know the difference, I'm guessing, he surely sounded like he had no idea what he was fishing for. I know how to fly fish, this guy only knew he was waving a stick around and a fish would find its way to the hook.

George Santos posted he's left NYC because of Mamdani. Which means that:
- George hasn't left NYC
- George is currently dressing as a "living statue" of Melania in Times Square
- George's imaginary husband left him
- George shoplifted everything he wanted in midtown
