16 Hours With George Santos: Dunkin’ Donuts, 27,000 Steps and a Scolding

By: Peter Rubin β€” February 2nd 2023 at 18:01

Armed with a handy metaphor, JesΓΊs RodrΓ­guez braves the misery that is The Scrum Waiting Outside George Santos’ Office β€” and comes out with a gonzo-lite chronicle of futility and fuckery. Just burn it all to the ground, please.

But consider this last remaining donut. Deconstruct it, for a second, from the outside in. The glaze: a gooey, cloudy substance that varnishes the ring of cake, pure glucose soon to strike the palate. Then, the cake itself: yeast and enriched wheat flour and palm oil and more sugar, congealing and forcing one’s salivary glands to go into overdrive. Thirty-three grams of carbohydrates that fuel a sugar rush but leave your hunger totally unsated. At the literal center of it, a hole β€” emptiness.
