  This George Santos guy, I knew he looked familiar. I met him once right after he discovered the theory of relativity. Seems like a pretty smart guy.
context: Trump has some serious competition... >
  
  Truly one of the weirdest season 2023 characters the republicans chose >
  
  Not really when you consider that we are in the post truth era of the Republican Party. He’s perfect >
  
  That is why he had so much support from Elise Stefanik, whom WaPo and NYT said knew at least some of the deceit but campaigned for him anyway.  At least with Hershel Walker and Donald Trump, voters knew the two were pathological liars.  Most politicians embellish, like saying they speak Spanish fluently, but had one year in high school, but the new crop of Republicans no longer stretch the truth, they just make things up whole cloth.  Facts just don't matter any more and that is the point.  If you can not win in this reality, you gaslight and create a new one. >
  
  I don’t know if Herschel Walker was a pathological liar…I think he was just so stupid he would attempt to parrot back whatever script he was given that day and still mess it up. It was obvious the guy knew nothing about what he was talking about most of the time. Honestly if the views he was espousing weren’t so disgusting I would almost feel bad for the dude. Limited education and blows to head have definitely taken their toll. >
  
  I was talking about his lies about his personal life.  I am not a clinician, so I am using pathological liar in the broad not the technocal sense.  I also agree he may have suffered because of being hit in the head so many times. >
  
  No, he is absolutely a pathological liar. 
  People lie for reasons all the time. The pathological part is when you lie about nonsense for no reason.
  Trump, Walker, Santos all lie about some really bizarre shit that has no obvious benefit, along with everything else. >
  
  Loving the *new republican party! >
  
  It’s all well and good to mock Santos, but until you dismiss everything Republicans say by telling them “I no longer trust Republicans, given how much they coddled that lying crook George Santos” we will not get the change we deserve. >
  
  Santos? What about Trump? >
  
  Maybe he meant that he once did a drag act named Hannah in the state of Montana? >
  
  What's really amazing about Santos isn't really that he's only a pathological liar in the most textbook sense imaginable.
  What's significant is that the lying makes him seem like the most qualified candidate to the GOP. Ever since Trump swapped out a platform for a gigantic pile of bullshit, it's now the 'best' bullshitters who end up the most successful. >
  
  They realized people like Trump and now Santos are good at sucking air out of the room so people can't talk about the malicious Republicans running the country into the ground. >
  
  What’s so weird about this guy is he tells so many pathological lies about shit that just doesn’t need to be lied about. When Trump lies about stuff like “I have the tallest building in NYC, I’m a multibillionaire, Obama wiretapped me, the election was rigged…” he’s a gross liar as well, but you can at least sort of follow the salesmanship logic and the self inflating, self preserving motive behind his lies.
  This guy is just… what the fuck. >
  
  I think it's actually that simple - he is a pathological liar.
  I don't think people who have never spent time with one really understand. There was one in my brother's Ph.D program. I wasn't tripped off, but by the third fantastical mirroring of my story at a tailgate, I knew something was off. No way he had the exact same 3 experiences.
  I later learned he never stopped lying. Never. On subsequent visits, I would chat with the guy (their whole lab crew hung out, especially for football game), because it was comical what he's come up with. But I'm sure it was awful being around them constantly. >
  
  I lie about stuff the whole time
  and I genuinely dont know why ive tried to stop and ive managed to cut
  Down but Ill be talking and just start lieing and wont reliase till im done and then im like wtf >
  
  I think being aware and acknowledging it puts you outside the pathological spectrum (not a doctor). But, yeah, you gotta stop it. I mean, it won't affect me, but no one wants to be around someone constantly making shit up. Even if it has no real consequences. >
  
  Like I was caught out this month and made me reliase again why tf do I do it.I was planning on buying a ps5 this month and told someone how good it was and I love it before I actually bought it then a few weeks later I actually bought it and said I just set up my ps5 to them and they had a look on there face that made me remember I told them I already had it.I do stuff like that the whole time some mental disorder I think >
  
  The archived page reads like a 10 year old wrote it. So it was definitely him. >
  
  Tons of misspelled words and bad punctuation. Does this guy even have a middle school or high school education? I seriously doubt it. Brazilian high school dropout goes to Congress >
  
  Lack of education is considered a benefit in today's GOP. Look at Lauren Boebert who only has a highschool diploma., Yet won two elections.  Saying crazy stupid stuff is what they want to hear. Education just gets in the way. >
  
  She got her GED, but it took her 4 tries >
  
  Judging by her gun-themed restaurant's record she's still doing re-writes on her food handler's certificate. >
  
  George Santos also accompanied Lewis and Clark during the expedition and was a friend to Sacagawea. >
  
  If you examine the Sacagawea coin closely, you can surely see his name on the edge of the coin 😂 >
  
  My congressman, a physicist, posted this funny tweet about "Dr. George Santos":
  
  I'm thrilled to be joined on the Science Committee by my Republican colleague Dr. George Santos, winner of not only the Nobel Prize, but also the Fields Medal - the top prize in Mathematics - for his groundbreaking work with imaginary numbers. >
  
  I heard the Pope occasionally seeks his advise on spiritual matters. >
  
  His performance in Citizen Kane was phenomenal. >
  
  Remember when he built Disney World? That was pretty cool. >
  
  Remember when he invented fire? That was dope. >
  
  And last month when King Ghidorah attacked Tokyo and he defeated him with his atomic breath? That was super nice of him. >
  
  Or when George Santos was in the Olympics, skating for the gold. He did two Salchows and a triple Lutz while wearing a blindfold. >
  
  I loved him in the beatles >
  
  Well he has had a long history of problematic decisions. Like when he bit evander Holyfield’s ear >
  
  He actually is Miley Cyrus. IDK if you guys knew that. >
  
  I heard he's Superman and Spider-Man both. >
  
  we could start a spreadsheet with george santos lies, but im afraid we may exceed the row limit >
  
  He was also a singer on American Idol and signed the Declaration of Independence. >
  
  And he's actually the Tzar's missing daughter, Anastasia >
  
  And Anastasia's father. >
  
  He looks more like the middle aged guy standing in line at Cinnabon. I doubt he’d be hired as an actor for anything. >
  
  What if they needed an extra to stand in line at a Cinnabon in an episode? >
  
  I think I saw him in the opening of the first episode of Better Call Saul, now that you mention it. >
  
  What if George Santos is lying about existing and he's not even real >
  
  There is the possibility in modern times that half of the images we are seeing are deep fakes. I don’t think so. But at this point I wouldn’t be shocked if they announced tomorrow it was all a mirage. I mean at this point. 🤷‍♀️ >
  
  We all wake up tomorrow and he was never really there at all. >
  
  Then we all had a weird ass fever dream! >
  
  Maybe he meant Hann-ish Montan-ish?
