  I’m not only a member of the Liar’s Club, I’m also its President.
context: Is his name really George Santos? >
  
  No, he went by Anthony Devolder and reportedly hated being called George Santos. >
  
  I know that I joked about it but Tony even lied about his name? >
  
  Prolly ain’t even gay >
  
  He was married to a woman as recently as 2019. Not that that means he can't be gay, but in light of all the other lies, it makes me wonder. >
  
  Hell, may not even be a man at this point. >
  
  I think we can all agree that he is certainly a Real Human just like fellow lawmaker Ted Cruz >
  
  So you mean reptile. >
  
  Perhaps, but at least he's just one reptile and not several. >
  
  I think at this point, it’s safer to assume he did. >
  
  If his mouth is moving, he's lying. >
  
  An absolute pathological liar for sure. I'm not fully convinced he's even capable of telling the truth even if he wanted to. >
  
  A model Republican, for sure. >
  
  Is this the George Santos who penned the Star Spangled Banner? >
  
  That would be him. The same George Santos that has the MLB home run record. >
  
  He also has the NHL home run record >
  
  He also scored so many holes-in-one in football that they actually changed the whole scoring system to touchdowns so other players will have a chance to score. >
  
  He was also the first NBA player to hit a 3 pt shot and a dunk in a single game before either play were added to the game of basketball. Santos said he was one of the original Boston Celtics, and he's not sure why he doesn't get the same accolades as Russell, Cousy, Bird and others who were on the team with him. >
  
  He was THE Boston Celtic! >
  
  Pathological liars lie about everything. They lie when they don't need to lie, hence the "pathological" part. Republicans love pathological liars. >
  
  They will lie about what color underwear they have on. Nobody cares, it's of no consequence, and they still have to put a spin on it to make it more interesting, and butt in to tell you apropos of nothing. >
  
  The can do both - lie about being under a routine audit and having a normal sized penis in the same wheezing breath. Or so people are saying. >
  
  In the USA, the penalty for lying to a congressman can be up to 30 years in prison, but the penalty for a congressman lying to you is another two years in office. >
  
  Only when under oath? Or like, at anytime? >
  
  Under oath in their official duties. Any other time the people around them lie constantly when they tell them how great a job they're doing. >
  
  Yeah... that's my issue. 
  It's not so much about lying to Congress as your are committing perjury. Folks can think what they want about the integrity and worthiness of congressperson XYZ, but lying under oath does and should continue to bear consequences. >
  
  I agree that it absolutely should, but like...does it? I feel like there's been a shitload of lying to congress without consequences lately. >
  
  Dunno. I'm not familiar enough to say. You need a prosecutable case to deliver consequences. 
  All I'm saying is that perjury is and should remain a crime. Lying to Congress is not illegal as far as I know so long at you aren't under oath
  Edit: Oops. Lying (knowingly and willfully) to Congress is indeed a crime, no oath required. "Section 1001 covers false statements more generally, without requiring an oath. The section stipulates that "whoever, in any matter within the jurisdiction of the executive, legislative, or judicial branch of the government of the United States, knowingly and willfully" falsifies or conceals information, including before a congressional committee's inquiry, may also be fined or imprisoned up to five years." >
  
  I think it is safe to assume, at this point, that every word out of his mouth is a lie. >
  
  That would require discipline and consistency. The things he says just have no relationship to the truth - like a broken clock is an unreliable source of the time, but is still right occasionally. >
  
  You reminded me…I had a boss who was a pathological liar. She lied about everything/anything - for no rhyme or reason. She could be eating a ham sandwich and tell you it was tuna. Just couldn’t trust her about anything. It has to be some sort of sickness. >
  
  Guess I did!  Fascinating reading BTW. Seems like this is another condition exacerbated by social media. >
  
  At this point, just tell me what he told the truth on....if anything. >
  
  it would be a lot shorter list >
  
  Conservatives are hitting a new low with this guy. >
  
  Nah, he is a wannabe compared to Trump. Trump lies about the lies that he lied about. >
  
  
  Trump lies about the lies that he lied about.
  
  Indeed. Trump kept saying his Brooklyn-born father was born in Germany.
  If you follow the logic there then, since his mom was Scottish, then that means he's only a first generation American and his eldest sibling was an anchor baby.
  That's all kinds of incorrect, but I reserve the right to be as factually accurate as Trump in this matter. >
  
  This guy appears to lie by default. >
  
  Jesus Christ. This asshole must have a Sarah Huckabee Sanders poster in his room with an apple in her mouth lying across a picnic table. 
  He learned by watching & listening to the best pathological liars in the politics biz; not the smartest. >
  
  I would have said Ted Cruz but otherwise I feel you >
  
  He’s desensitizing us so we don’t freak out when he peels off the human suit and tells us he’s from the Galactic Federation (which will also be a lie) >
  
  I don't like going after people's appearances but this guy looks like he's wearing a human skin suit and every photo I see of him startles me >
  
  There’s an alarming deadness in those eyes. Candid moments seem to showcase it more. Even when he feigns a smile it seems off. >
  
  Did I ever tell you about the time Santos took me out to go get a drink with him? We go off looking for a bar and we can’t find one. Finally, Santos takes me into a vacant lot and says, ‘Here we are.’ Well, we sat there for a year and a half. Sure enough, someone constructed a bar around us. Well, the day they opened it, we ordered a shot, drank it, and then burnt the place to the ground. Santos yelled over the roar of the flames, ‘Always leave things the way you found them! >
  
  Was your checkbook missing afterwards? >
  
  I do not even think his name is George Santos at this point. Seriously. Have we seen a birth certificate? >
  
  Let's make this easy, what has he told the truth about ? >
  
  He voted for McCarthy for Speaker. So that's one thing >
  
  This guy sucks >
  
  I bet his name isn't even George Santos. >
  
  It’s George Trump. >
  
  Imagine this guy in high school or college. Insufferable prick. I think we all knew someone like him. >
  
  Imagining himself in college is as close as he made it to obtaining the degree he fabricated. >
  
  COVID? No, I said "COV-ish" >
  
  Ok, at this point, the next SNL they absolutely must have Jon Lovitz guest star as George Santos. (Recall that one of his classic characters was >!Tommy Flanagan, the Pathological Liar!<.) >
  
  “Yeeahh, that’s the ticket!” >
  
  This man has a mental illness. His pathological lying exceeds regular narcissism. It’s some type of megalomania where he lives in a fantasy world. >
  
  At least George had the support of his loving wife, Morgan Fairchild...yeah, that's the ticket! >
  
  And his mistress, Lauren Bacall! >
  
  In a week we'll learn he's not even American. And then in two weeks we'll learn he's actually three dogs in a trench coat. >
  
  He is the poster child of who republicans are.  When his/their lips are moving, they are lying. >
  
  Can someone check this guy for a mask Scooby-Doo style? >
  
  Is his name even George? >
  
  This is that guy from everyone’s elementary school who pathologically lied about everything. For most kids it’s a phase. This guy embraced it as a lifestyle. >
  
  I’ve never heard Santos talk does he end sentences with “Yeah, yeah, that’s the ticket”
