  I’ll bet McCarthy is a little more than upset to hear the news
context: We may see a NY-03 special election soon. Not everyday a representative go under a federal investigation before they are even seated. NY Dems better not drop the ball if that happens >
  
  They'll drop the ball.  The New York State Democratic Party is one of the least competent organizations I can think of.  So neoliberal that they're basically Bush Republicans.  And if this is just coming out now, they must have done literally no oppo research on Santos during the campaign. >
  
  I'm officially placing Russian spy cell in his district illegally funneling money to him on my 2023 bingo card >
  
  Good lord, this timeline sucks. You throw out the most outlandish thing you can think of and it turns out to be true. >
  
  “I might have embellished my resume.” 
  Yeah, no. Embellishing your resume is saying that you oversaw a whole department when in reality the department was yourself and one intern. 
  Saying you had a degree, worked for Morgan Stanley, and were Jewish when you are Catholic is just a series of lies. >
  
  The Jewish thing is what gets me.  If you want to develop a reputation for being Jewish, they allow you to convert!  You really don't need to lie lol. >
  
  I think the lying is the point. 
  Authoritarian rulers lie and then dare their followers to buy into the lies.   It demonstrates submission. 
  Have you not being paying attention to Mr Trump's discourse? >
  
  Oh yeah, the difference between lies and bullshit.  Lies are meant to deceive someone, bullshit is just like, yeah, you and I both know I'm lying.
