Amazing how we dont have a clue how Jeffrey Epstein died but we know where some lady was 20 years ago on a single day.
No, you see he had two moms! One just happened to be in NYC while the other was on sabbatical  in Rio De Jeneiro! Why would two parents be on opposite continents at the same time without their  child you ask? Well it’s because their husband was fighting in Normandy so they thought it best to sightsee to take their mind of their fears. >

I heard George was on the Titanic when it went down but his time as an Olympic  swimmer helped him survive until he was rescued  by  a flock of penguins. Which fed him  regurgitated fish until he had enough strength  to carve a small vessel out of the iceberg and had a pod of blue whales tow him home just in time for him to address  the United Nations on the importance  of integrity. >

Missed opportunity for a Flock of Seagulls plot line >

He was the one who suggested their hairstyles. His current 'do contains a subtle nod to that 80's style if you're in the know. >

Maybe she was in the "World Trade Center Total Landscaping" in Brazil at the time. >

Deja vu? >

Every day it’s another lie. How the fuck does someone like that get voted in to a position of power? >

Everything he says is a lie.  All the time.  I don't know what peperwork needs to be filled out to campaign for office but I would bet everthing on there is a lie also. I imagine that is a crime. >

Unfortunately, there's apparently no one responsible for checking those things. There was an article a week or so ago describing how every office from the state's secretary to the congressional admin department kept saying it wasn't their job and passing the buck to another office. Ultimately, there's no one out there taking responsibility for verifying whether a sworn member of Congress is actually qualified. >

I needed to show proof of citizenship, employment, and a DOT physical to the Secretary of State each time I took a test to get a CDL. In a state where I already had a drivers license. >

Well hold on.  Maybe she was in the "World Trade Center Total Landscaping" in Brazil at the time. >

On November 9th >

Seems really easy to bullshit a Republican >

George Santos is that kid on the playground who says his uncle works at Nintendo, so his game news is totally legit, guys. >

Don’t worry hes also a SEAL, and was one of the SWAT in the North Hollywood Shootout, and even witnessed Lincoln’s assassination which scarred him for life /s >

LOL
I never thought I would hear of someone who could lie with even greater frequency than Trump
The fact that the GOP hasn't removed him already tell you everything about them >

There was a time when researching whatever-his- real-name-is would have been proper due diligence. 
That time was before he was elected, and most news orgs shit the bed in a truly spectacular fashion by choosing not to. These same orgs are now doubling down on his every move in an attempt to save face. We already know everything we need to. He's completely dishonest, a con artist, and without a sense of shame. There. Done.
Now he's being kept around to serve as a lightning rod. In DC to consume all the journalistic oxygen, while the rest of the republican party can set about it's ghoulish business, with lowered risk of public outcry.
He isn't going to be removed. He will not be resigning. It's time to start report on what's actually happening in DC, and not the next Santos/Devolder/whatever "controversy." >

I know there was some research and reporting done, and kudos to the folks who did it. But there was also a lot of journalistic malpractice, or at least, it feels like it to me.
I don't even know where to begin on the Dems dropping the ball the way they did. I mean, I hear a lot of "Well there are a lot of Republicans on Long Island." Which I'm sure is true, but if everything coming out now, had dropped as an October surprise, his campaign would have collapsed, he would have resigned, been a national joke we could actually laugh about, and not a national joke with a cherry committee assign in the US House of Representatives. >

Lieing about being tangentially connected to all these famous events? He's Forrest Trump. >

George Santos: “My grandmother was a passenger on the Titanic.  She was engaged to a wealthy business magnate but left him when she fell in love with a young artist.  A drawing of her was recovered from the wreck.” >

George Santos was the first human to land on the moon. >

So this guy is basically Forest Gump. >

This week we'll learn hes actually bat boy grown up >

Christ. Every new piece of info on this guy is an indictment of Maloney and his failures to hold the House. >

If this guy doesn’t get ousted it is pretty much the green light for the GOP to do this kind of shit in the future. I know they aren’t a lot better, but this level of brazenness is almost unheard of. This sets a dangerous precedent. >

Question for the lawyers: If he used this “lie-oid” in any fundraising speeches or materials (or any others, for that matter), would that give anyone who donated to his campaign standing for a class-action lawsuit?  Or is it established law that campaigning politicians are under no obligation to tell the truth? >

I'm going to need a spreadsheet of every claim with every truth that disputes that claim. >

Why would a former astronaut lie? >

God damn this guy is straight up a life long con artist and even though all his lies are being exposed to everyone he’s still getting everything he wanted with zero consequence just because he joined the party of grifters. >

If this guy keeps lying like this, he’s going to become your President. >

I see no problem, because this is all the GQP is about. /s >

They lay the hammer down hard for background checks to get a job flipping burgers, but Senator, shiiiit, slap a R on the side of your name surly gullible folks will make surely u get the paradise you need......fuck this shit running for senate. >

He's a House representative, not a senator. >

“I mean she came to the US for a vacation and took a morning tour of the World Trade Center, and she was in the building at 9:11 in the morning, so….” >

9/11 stole a generation's childhood. So, in a way we all lost a mother on that day >

Is there a counter for how many lies he’s told? >

Lol thoughts and prayers to your momma >

Rep. George Santos: I said my mom was in New York on September 11. I never clarified which year I meant. >

This reminds me of that scene in the Good Place where Eleanor was telling her roommates she almost died, and they then proceeded to talk about how they almost “totally died” and they were no where near close to dying. >

I am sure he meant she was there in spirit… so say his Republican colleagues, attempting to give him cover. After all, he has all the attributes Republicans are looking for in new candidates…
He’s arrogant, pompous, conceded, deceitful, conniving, imbecilic, and never said a lie he didn’t like. Who could ask for anything more from a new GOP candidate. >

And a secret drag queen. That's very Republican. >

Terrific.  Another psychopath in office. >

I guess we should have been able to tell from the fact that he said it >

The World Trade Center in BRAZIL. >

6x.  We >

At this point I’m not even sure that’s really his name >


Records show she wasn't in the U.S.

"...oh, that 9/11!" >

He seems like a pathological liar >

Turns out she was at coordinates 9N, 11W. >

She was actually with Norm Macdonald's brother on 9/11 >

She wasn't in the country.... she was in the plane! >

This is personally offensive as my mother was in the 2nd tower. My sister called her and told her to get out when the first plane hit. She got the last ferry off the island before service was stopped. She switched from the train to the ferry after the train station was attacked years earlier. I can’t say in public what I think of Santos. >

Get this clown tf outa here already >

He’s a pathological liar and mentally ill >

Jesus, I’d say Trump was a better liar than this, but that would be saying something GOOD about him, so let’s say Master Shake. >

Do we even know if that's his mother?
I want to see his long-form birth certificate! >

No way! A politician, lying 😯 >

“Oh THAT World Trade Center.” /s >

Okay clearly we’ve taken away his credibility, can we just stop paying attention to him now? I’m tired of his face on my feed >

Did he say what year? >

Dude has probably said he used to be an NYC Rockette back when he was studying violin at Juliard when he was 13. >

Is there anything about this guy that isn’t a lie? >

I hear his helicopter was shot down while in Iraq in 2003 >

If his lips are moving, just assume he’s lying cuz it’ll save you tons of time. >

Well on 9/11 1999 >

She was at 7-eleven. Honest mistake. >

Can someone compile a list of the lies?  This guys is unbelievable. >

Was she flying the plane? >

Holy crap! What does this fella NOT lie about?!? >

Squash this insect >

9/11ish. >

Pathological liar. Fraud. Criminal. >

So close, Georgie, so close >

Big deal.  I survived 9/11 too, mainly by being in a different city a few thousand miles away. >

So, first she died in the towers on 9/11. Then she survived 9/11 and escaped the tower. Now she wasn't even in the country. Soon we will find out he doesn't even have a mom. >

I'm still more upset about the dog tbh.
He scammed a homeless, disabled vet. who suffered from ptsd and bipolar, who was trying to raise enough money to save his service dog who had cancer. After Santos stole his money and disappeared, the vet had to get his dog euthanized to end her suffering. And Kevin McCarthy gave Santos 2 committee assignments. >

Is this 3 time Grammy award winner George Santos? >

I think at this point he’s lying just to lie and see how long he can get away with it. >

I am sick of hearing about this twat >

How can he stay in office after all of this. It’s actually remarkable >

What an absolute asshat clown show. Thanks, Republicans! >

George Santos blank blank blank proven false.
Anyone else seeing a pattern here. >

At this point him telling the truth would be more newsworthy >

He starts his day by saying this to himself: "Morning world. Don't bullshit this bullshitter." >

George santos isn’t real.  He is a figment of our collective imagination dreamt up as a political distraction for republicans. >

I need more cowbell...
And I need Jon Lovitz. >

Maybe he believes she was, cause he doesn’t like her and wished she was there >

Brian Williams reporting here >

99% of /r/politics subscribers couldn’t even tell you what was going on a month ago. They just want to know what George Santos’ cock smells like. >

Amazing how we dont have a clue how Jeffrey Epstein died but we know where some lady was 20 years ago on a single day. >

His mom was residing in the condo number 912. Ninth floor, condo number 12, adjacent to the condo 11, so 11-ish. He never said 911, but 911-ish. Libs just hear what they want to hear. >

George Santos fought in Vietnam >

Wtf lies on their dead mother?! This is 100% worse than everything else in my opinion and proves he can’t be trusted with anything. >

He claimed he was a Jew, then later said he was Jew-ish >

Random tangent, but I kind of hope South Park does something with this guy when it comes back next month. Like maybe they set up some situation where everything he's said somehow is true all at once or something. >

Plot twist: World Trade Center São Paulo >

This dude is absolutely despicable! Every new headline it’s a different lie. >

Let’s keep him around, just to show how lying in politics is handled. With embarrassment >

Man... This guy lies A LOT even by Republican standards. >
