  This guy is doing a bit, right? Start out with the straight-forward lies about work and education so the Repubs rally behind him. Then over time the lies become more and more ludicrous, but they have to support him because of the sunk cost so far. How wild can this get before it gets too crazy for the Republican party?
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? >
  
  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. >
  
  You sure? This George Santos guy does indeed look familiar but I swear he was the one who came up with gravitational theory after that apple fell or something. >
  
  Well, he came in like a wrecking ball… >
  
  SNL writers are frantically scrambling for paper this morning. >
  
  They're gonna bring back Jon lovitz, yeah that's the ticket (do I need to mention r/fuckimold ?) >
  
  Does this guy even know who he is? >
  
  He's the dude playin' the other dude! Yeah, he knows what dude he is. >
  
  Why lie about something that could very easily be verified? This guy has serious pathological lying issues. >
  
  George Santos was once a Galaga arcade machine. >
  
  The good news for Santos is that now Lisa Marie died, he's Elvis's only living heir. >
  
  Headlines surrounding this clown are starting to look like the world's dumbest game of Mad Libs. >
  
  Santos won the Daytona 500 for 3 straight years. >
  
  Santos invented the Daytona 500 and has won it for 500 years running now >
  
  That can't possibly be true.  He said he was climbing Mt. Everest at that time as part of his training for the Mars mission. >
  
  Wait until you hear about the gal he met on board the Titanic. >
  
  Is he the new Dos Equis guy or what >
  
  Kinda reminds me of Tommy Flanagan (John Lovitz). >
  
  This dude is just extremely weird lol >
  
  He also won an Emmy for his portrayal of Urkel. >
  
  I don't know if you know this but this guy was also part of the team that went after Osama bin Laden and was the third man on the moon after Buzz Aldrin >
  
  The "Joe Isuzu" of politics. LOL. >
  
  For ducks sakes!!!! He's Stanley Kubrick in disguise. >
  
  Obligatory fuck George Santos, but how do we know this was even him? Just because someone Wikipedia used the same name as an alias?
  After all the news of him lying constantly broke, I could definitely see people pretending to be him to make up for their crazy lies just like this >
  
  I had the same thought but they stated the Wikipedia page was last updated in 2011. No one knew of him then. Well maybe the Brazilian Drag community and the Disney community. >
  
  George Santos now reminds me of a Dan Cummins joke about compulsive liars. Maybe reporters should stop trying to pin him down to the truth and just start asking leading questions to get crazier stories...we know he is all lies at this point and he won't get reelected >
  
  Ya mean he WAS Hanna!!!! >
  
  That's it you can lie about your dead mother or you taking it too far when you say Hannah Montana >
  
  My brother you ARE Hannah Montana. Miley wishes she could have lived a double life that rivals that of George Santos. >
  
  Hannah Montana. I’m shocked anyone bothered to look it up at this point >
  
  Trump opened the door to politicians talking while completely untethered from reality. >
  
  At this point, he might as well just keep lying. The moment he stops, his spotlight is over. >
  
  At this point, we know he’s a pathological liar. He’s been lying about his life for well over a decade that we know of.
  He needs an intervention. >
  
  George spent the last few years truly studying what it takes to be a Republican but decided as the show man that he is he needed to take it to a ho.....nudda.....level..... >
  
  George Santos actually wrote that sketch for mad tv >
  
  The fact that he lies so consistently is one thing, but the shit he chooses to lie about is just so fucking weird. It is constantly so easily verifiable, over and over again. Being caught it any of these things would make most of us feel ashamed. Being caught lying about being a HM extra would ruin me... >
  
  George Santos shows up in blond wig:  
  “Hi everybody.  I’m Andy Indiana. I’m a ex of George’s.  He’s so cool and does not tell lies.  He’s a great lover and has a big c-BEEP-k.  I wish he’d take me back, but I’m an unlovable sociopath….  See ya later Ya’ll…” >
  
  It’s a show about someone with a false identity so… >
  
  The more these stories sound made up the more I believe them. >
  
  This guy absolutely fascinates me.  When I was in Jr. High and Highschool, I knew a compulsive liar.  She would spin a lie for no other reason than to entertain herself.  It was one of the strangest things I've ever seen.  She was packed to the brim full of grade-a bullshit 24/7.  Just as much crazy as they could fit into a teen girl. >
  
  It's been a while and I cant remember everything but I worked with a guy about 10 years ago who just lied about his whole life. He would always try to one-up everyone with items he 'owned'.
  I remember the size of his TV would increase everytime someone else mentioned they had a larger one and he told us that he had a youtube channel with over 5 million subs, when we asked for his channel he said he didn't know it as it directly uploaded from XBOX. >
  
  I almost admire this guy, as far as drag queens go, I feel he’s the closest to living in a way Divine would have wanted. Abject chaos and grifting. >
  
  This dude is the real life Loki. To think US voters actually believed on him, that's another great joke about this ridiculous situation >
  
  At least Loki had some redeeming qualities >
  
  This guy is a political Zelig. >
  
  This could be a movie, it's so flipping nuts. I'd write it like this: Santos is a plant the Dems paid or blackmailed to run for GOP candidate so he could infiltrate and fully embarrass the GOP, demonstrating the liars, idiots and hypocrites they are. It would be sinister AF for the Dems to do this, but it sure would make for an entertaining movie. Now in real life, I'm not feeling very entertained...just embarrassed for this country 🙄 >
  
  But the twist turns out to be that there is no low he can sink to that will actually shame the GOP, they continue to back him, and he ends up VP or Speaker, short list for a presidential run. >
  
  I can just see Trump saying "Wow! Check this Santos guy out! What an amazing resume! Somebody get him on the phone! I think we just found my next VP!" >
  
  I was Hannah Montana. I also invented pants. >
  
  I’m sure he walked on the moon and survived the Hindenburg as well. What a waste of flesh. >
  
  The guy has done even more than Trump.  lol >
  
  I’m sick of this distraction >
  
  In Germany, we once forced politicians to resign because they cheated in their dissertations. In comparison to that scandal, this whole affair with George Santos is like a Monty Python sketch turned into absurdity.
