[George Santos] A GDST

HefflingHeffling No PicEverRegistered User regular
George Santos! Part legend, part myth, always willing to point out he's 100% totally human. He's the control that every lie detector is calibrated against. He's an astronaut and the 3rd person to walk on the secret moon. He's an olympic gold medalist, but he performed under the name Michael Phelps. As a Broadway Producer, he was instrumental in the success of Spiderman The Musical.

He's also more full of shit than the entire US cattle industry, and blows more smoke than Camel Joe.

Please use this thread to keep up with the antics of the clown from NY3. It's not impressive that he keeps telling more and more outrageous lies. It's just sad. A total failure of our entirely governmental system that a pathological liar with his level of incompetence can still be elected to the leading body of our nation. He should be removed from office and given the mental care he so obviously needs.

    In another reality, “Trump!” was a smash hit dark comedy, about an unbelievably crooked and incompetent President. While that show was eventually completed with five seasons, the creators decided to do a spin-off show about a new character in the same world called George Santos. The show itself is like “It’s Always Sunny in Philadelphia,” but the characters have even fewer virtues.

    At this point, I’d probably believe you if you told me Santos been stealing puppies or something equally banal.

    Should add Luna to the thread as well and she seems to be pulling a little Santos.

    To hit on a comment from the last thread. Even if there wasn't a local paper that broke the story of what a lying piece of shit he was pre-election. Dude likely would have still gotten outed for his bullshit because he is a pathological liar. He lies about shit he doesn't even need to lie about, so it was only a matter of like days before he'd tell a whopper that would get people to start scrutinize him enough to realize that he lies about everything.

    Granted, it's nice to see that while his bullshit is catching up to him, it might actually also result in getting other lying republican shitheads caught. Haven't looked into Luna much to see if she is as big a pathological liar, if she is one at all, but she probably isn't only getting caught because Santos bullshit has tipped people off that they should pay more attention.

    I guess the question is, will there be any consequences (other than doing still more damage to our country and its institutions)? Or is all of the pointing and laughing just an attempt to avoid thinking about, and extract what entertainment we can from, a hopeless situation where those who do have the ability to do something about this fraud won't because it would diminish their own power?

    George Santos is a sonuvabitch. I remember one time George Santos took his family to Sea World. They were watching Shamu the whale when he got splashed. So Santos yells, ‘I’m Bill Brasky and no one gets me wet!’ So he climbs into the tank, grabs Shamu, and throws the whale into the audience, splashes him and yells, ‘How do you like it?’ And then damn if he didn’t step in there and finish the show

    I mean, Collaborators were a thing, and not just in the camps.

    Not saying that I believe her, or that it's not ludicrous to even try and admit to, or even think it's a thing to celebrate


    But, it's not totally outside possible.

    I feel for the sake of sanity like this thread needs to have clear labels such as, "(HE ACTUALLY SAID/DID THIS)" and "(THIS IS A JOKE/SATIRE/FOR ILLUSTRATION PURPOSES)." Because for the life of me I'm not sure he DIDN'T claim to be a moon lizard.

    She's claiming she's going to bring the receipts on Fox tonight.

    I have even money that her "proof" is either just trying to discredit her relatives and not anything that actually substantiates her claims, or something along the lines of a 23andMe test that shows like 2% Ashkenazi Jewish.

    I'm looking (NOT REALLY!) Forward to the GOP accusing Santos as a Dem plant by Joseph, the Dark, Biden.

    Santos's lying reminds of a word from the Ukraine thread about the Russian culture of lying: vranyo.

    https://glossophilia.org/2018/09/vranyo-a-previously-untranslatable-russian-word/

    Glossophilia is a blog about words as far as I can tell, but the linked article does have some choice quotes with citations about the use of the word. To wit:
    Pioneered by the Soviets and perfected by Putin, this is a special word in Russia which means telling a barefaced lie which you do not expect anyone to believe.
    A Russian friend explained vranyo this way: ‘You know I’m lying, and I know that you know, and you know that I know that you know, but I go ahead with a straight face, and you nod seriously and take notes.’

    I think Santos is a con-man and a bullshit artist rather than the sort of liar that Putin is, because he doesn’t have the power to make people believe him.

    Are there people who earnestly believe Santos? I assumed the only two camps were people who call him a liar and people who turn a blind eye to the lies.

    No, but there are people who believe Putin. Because the alternative is defenestration.

    He got prosecuters to drop charges as they thought he worked for the SEC! He's amazing at lying!

    I mean Santos is absolutely guilty of a bunch of campaign finance crimes (easy to prove ones too, like faking donors), but in lots of cases the penalties for breaking those laws are just financial

    he's probably guilty of a bunch of more serious crimes (wire/traditional fraud, money laundering); the fake donors lead one to ask, where did the money actually come from? But the NY AG will probably take a fair while to indict

    hold your head high soldier, it ain't over yet
    that's why we call it the struggle, you're supposed to sweat

    They always seem to have a studied lack of curiosity about such matters.
