How many lies is too many for a Trump loyalist?

[Dukasaur]

George Santos, freshman Republican congressman from Long Island and an enthusiastic Trump supporter, seems to be trying to challenge Trump's record as the most dishonest American politician.

Santos has previously admitted to lying about graduating from Baruch College.

He has admitted to lying about having worked for Goldman Sachs.

It turns out he lied about being Jewish.

He seems to have completely fabricated the story that four of his employees died in the Pulse Nightclub shooting.

He claims to have run a pet charity which may not exist.

He claims to have been the victim of anti-gay vandalism which never happened.

He claims to own rental properties in New York, but none are listed on his campaign's financial disclosure forms. On the other hand, he has been sued for owing his landlord $2500. Maybe he is legitimately confused between the words "owing" and "owning"? Meanwhile, one property he apparently might actually own is in Rio de Janeiro, and has not been disclosed to U.S. authorities.

Can Santos challenge Trump's position as the most dishonest man in American history? One possible indicator is that Trump's mouthpiece Marjorie Taylor Greene, has been vigorously defending Santos and commending him for being honest.

Generally different organizations have different people checking facts. Which organization are you referring to?

Bet a dollar he's a Christian

And hands down the lyingest politician was Kate Fucking Brown, but she's a small fry so ignored...

He’s apparently Roman Catholic.

Also, Baruch College has a 50% Acceptance Rate and is ranking #14 in the US News
“Regional Universities North” category…

This is NOT an impressive/elite school that one “should” lie about. It’s not a bad
school, but 50% Acceptance Rate in this category means your average B- high school
student gets in no problem.

HOW DARE HE!

Meanwhile, one property he apparently might actually own is in Rio de Janeiro, and has not been disclosed to U.S. authorities.

HOW DARE HE!

[Newly elected Pennsylvania Senator] John Fetterman owns several properties that he failed to disclose, which violates federal law. That was filed as a complaint by the Foundation of Accountability and Civic Trust back in September. Now, ANOTHER complaint was filed over Fetterman’s properties. Fetterman violated Pennsylvania non-profit law through his property purchases.

ITT we learn that Saxi believes in the "the other kids are doing it" defense.

Still begs the question of how much they have to do it before it's too much.

Well tbf I have more respect for the guy now I know he never uses protection.

Well DoD...remember that concerning question I asked before inviting you camping? That's probably past the too much limit....

The lies of Santa’s are more significant and there’s just more of them than BOTH Biden and Warren combined.

The lies of Santa’s are more significant

They're literally the exact same lies. The only difference is the details, i.e.:

--Santos claimed he was Jewish for one year, Warren claimed she was Cherokee for 34 years.
-Santos claimed one more BA than he actually had, Biden claimed two more BAs than he actually had.
-Santos failed to disclose one property he owned, Fetterman failed to disclose eight properties he owned.
-Santos claimed his employee was killed at the Pulse Nightclub shooting, Biden claimed his son was killed in the Iraq War,
etc.

That said, I agree Santos should not run for reelection in 2024. The GOP should hold itself to a higher standard than Democrats.

He's gay he doesn't hafta. I mean if I were gay, I would but that's just because I'm a clean freak.

Yeah I mean even ignoring the AIDS you're still putting your peepee up a tube full of poop. Not barriering up would just be a nonsense. My rule of thumb is 'if you wouldn't put your tongue on it, don't put your exposed penis on it'.

1) NOT the exact same
2) In Santos’ case all those lies are from ONE person… you had to compare him to four Democrats.

All politicians are liars… it’s just that Santos hopped on the Trump bandwagon and followed his “Leader” too much.

It’s not really a ‘new’ level of deceitfulness, it’s better named the “Trump Level” of deceitfulness.

[DirtyDishSoap]

And in today's obvious news, both political parties are ass, are not interested in your own interests, and continue to try to line their own pockets, all the way creating more and more ways to take what little freedoms we still possess. Truly, a great time to be alive.

Yeah, you'd need a lot of jelly to make those stalks feel good. There are much sexier veg out there.

In a new investigation, PolitiFact has just determined that Joe Biden lied again when he fabricated a story about awarding a Purple Heart to his uncle.

At a military veterans event in Delaware, President Joe Biden told a detailed story about how as vice president he presented one of his uncles, Frank Biden, with a Purple Heart, which his uncle refused to accept. Biden said his Uncle Frank signed up for the Army a day after Pearl Harbor was attacked by the Japanese on Dec. 7, 1941.

1. Frank Biden, who served in the Army during World War II, died in 1999 — when Joe Biden was a senator, not vice president.

2. We also couldn’t find any record that Frank Biden was awarded a Purple Heart, either while he was alive or posthumously.

3. Also, our fact-checking colleagues at Snopes found that Frank Biden joined the Army on July 17, 1941 — which was months before the attack on Pearl Harbor, contrary to Biden’s claim that Frank Biden joined the Army a day after Pearl Harbor.

This is comparable to Santos in what way?

Because they both have some Hispanic heritage?

(And, FYI, Hispanic isn't among the 17 different ethnic groups Kamala Harris has claimed to be part of to advance her political career.)
