Drudge Retort: The Other Side of the News
Saturday, September 27, 2025

"I am not asking for special treatment. I am asking to be treated as a person -- with attention, dignity, and the care any human deserves when in distress. What I have experienced looks less like institutional safety and more like a system that has allowed indifference to calcify into policy. Procedures matter only when they protect people; otherwise they become instruments of neglect. Since arriving in the SHU, I've been stripped of almost everything that helped me weather this chapter. Phone calls with loved ones have been cut off. Emails to family have been blocked. Visits -- rare, sacred windows when a person can feel human again -- have been taken away, twice a month and on holidays, as if punishment were protection. I sometimes feel the life leaving my body, a slow leaking of hope." -- former Republican Congressman George Santos

Why should anyone believe a single word from Santos? If he says his is a miserable existence then I assume he's being held in the fanciest of places, fed the best foods and receives bj's on demand.

As someone who has done time I say suck it up buttercup. Don't do the crime if you can't do the time.

He made his own bed.

Now it sounds like he's trying to hang onto his self-importance.

Tough ----- said the kitty.

"I'm starting to think prison is a place I don't want to go."

Surprise! You're already just inches away.

Authoritarianism (Autocratic tyranny) is just a bigger version.

Your fear represents the bars.

The government is your guards.

Your warden is the dictator.

VOTE ACCORDINGLY WHILE YOU STILL CAN!

Johnny,

"receives bj's on demand"

Santos?

I suspect it would actually be,

"Giving good head on demand"

Santos is not being singled out. America treats all inmates like feces, no matter how minor the crime. In America, incarcerating and abusing people is a multi multi billion doll oar business.

@#2 ... Why should anyone believe a single word from Santos? ...

Good point.

imo, he's trying for the Ms Maxwell treatment.

Easy time is good.

I hope he gets Club Med.

Just being Incarcerated is Enough.

He didn't kill anyone. He just Lied, A Lot.

Felony Time Sucks no matter the circumstances.

George Santos in the Scheme of things?

Not a Vicious Person.

He just Lied, A Lot.

In order to win a seat in Congress.

No one should believe a word he says! He's a phony and a fraud and a habitual liar. His whole life is one big fabrication. The invented story of a death threat is just an attempt to get released, who would waste their time killing this insignificant turd, and for what reason? He should serve every day of the 87-month sentence and stop crying like a little girl. Prison sucks, it's not supposed to be fun. As long as he keeps dropping the soap in the shower, he will be alright!
