Remember "Ron Vara"?
“I am not a criminal,” Santos said during a separate interview with the Post

So he's most definitely a criminal. He's even wanted in his home country for check fraud. This scumbag cannot be trusted. >

Wait, he’s not an American citizen? >

Dual citizenship in the U.S. and Brazil, I believe.  Wanted in Brazil for check fraud. >

Huh, a man can’t serve 2 kings. I thought you need to be just American to run for office. But then Canadian Cruz is still a senator so what do I know eh. >

I believe it's only the president that's required to be natural-born and mono-citizenship; insofar as I'm aware, other politicians merely need to have a set number of years as a citizen, though I can't recall the number off the top of my head. >

You would think a job that has no term limits would have stricter requirements than the presidency. >

Grade A sociopath >

My father was also a humble downvote farmer. >

What other news are we going to find out about this idiot? I bet there’s lots of skeletons in the closet. >

Honestly it's a daily lie drip. I admit a lot of it has made me LOL for real but at the end of the day there is more to cry about with this story. This country is in a lot of trouble. >

If a man can get elected based on a background that is mostly or completely fabricated and there are no repercussions, I tend to agree. I mean, how could you trust any politician on anything they say no matter how big or small, again? I suppose in the two party system you can mostly localize it to the party involved directly, but how many Republican voters just don't care because he may still pull the R lever for them? Based on the conservative sub reaction to this guy, a lot. More than none which is a problem.
I've wondered for some time now why this has never happened but in the opposite direction. Instead of lying to get seated in your own party, lie that you are say, a democrat and then in office just openly vote party line Republican for everything. I mean if the benefitting party is cynical enough to just take the vote and not complain/expel you, why not? I guess it would only work for a cycle, but imagine some sociopath does this for the presidency.
Like, do we really expect the benefitting party to step in and say no? If it's judges, SCOTUS, other appointments and policies at stake? Especially today's Republicans? Makes me think. >

Sinema is this. >

I am no fan of Sinema, and certainly think she's a disater for the Dems and the country... but did she blatantly lie and fabricate her entire history like Santos? It seems like she mostly just did a heel turn... >

which is in all but the flimsiest analysis called lying. if she'd run on what she was really planning on doing she would have lost. she defrauded her constituents with aforethought. >

Smearing feces on the walls seems to be a republican tradition. >

A rite of passage >

I'm getting Steve Bannon vibes.  Any cats of acid found? >

Acid cats is kind of a cool band name >

That's how you get Psychedelic Furs. >

And President Gas. >

"George Santos" rearranged spells "Orangest Egos".  Coincidence?
