A politician who’s a giant liar?!
Color me shocked.

[
"How was none of this found out while he was running for office instead of after?",
">\n\nWhen he ran back in 2020, his campaign budget of 40,000 did not help.\nBut in 2022, he had millions in campaign budget and the media cannot simply ignore all thses dough and insult the potential customer with the truth.",
">\n\nI am just surprised no journalist just innocently checking his credentials didn’t stumble onto any of this. There is just so much!",
">\n\nIt was a matter of why would he lie about things so easy to check on let's not waste the 15 minutes on this. Now that he has done this I believe many news sources will fact check work/education. Hell Republicans won't shut up about Biden's claim he graduated in the top half of his class and promptly found out he was 75/83 so not top half.",
">\n\nWhy lie about something so easily fact checked? Well, now we know why.",
">\n\nYeah it opened eyes but seriously most news agencies wouldn't bother to fact check his education and resume because it's publically available info and so easy to check the just made asses of themselves and didn't check. Now that this shit has happened and Santos just basically thumbs his nose at it I am sincerely hoping they check even the most basic simple aspects of candidates now. Hell Santos was born in the 80's and claims to have worked for Reagan's administration.",
">\n\nHe must’ve been laughing every time he made crazy shit up and no one called him out on it-and then he won.",
">\n\nAll the way to the bank. Dude had a 55k a year job and no assets in 2020. This year he's a millionaire who dumped millions into his campaign and no records of where the money came from. He's wanted for fraud in Brazil. And I believe the IRS is now looking into where his money came from and possible tax fraud charges. The FEC is investigating his campaign finances. Hopefully he ends up in jail or extradited to Brazil to face charges there so new York can recall and replace him. His listed residence in NY is an office as well I think not a living quarters so he may be investigated over that as well.",
">\n\nWhy do I get this feeling that he's not even a citizen? I used to be a LEO and people who lie like Santos are always very bad news; either they're Sociopathic, or they have a history of associating with criminals, or possibly both. I think he was big trouble when he was in Brazil...",
">\n\nlooks like mccarthy will keep him around for his upcoming speakership fight....\nthis is the GOP loayalty above quality of character.... WTF?",
">\n\nOf course. They need to waste time and investigate Hunter Biden’s laptop for the next 2 years. They need to know how often he visits pornhub. It’s very crucial.",
">\n\nWho even cares that he likes porn? I'm assuming it's adults.",
">\n\nWho cares if some guy who has no political influence enjoys smoking crack and banging whores, and for some weird reason felt the need to document every time he did so",
">\n\nYeah, I'm not saying Hunter is a great dude. If anything, he needs some help. But I honestly don't really care if he smokes cracks and bangs 30 year old hookers lmao. He's not in office, it's not a political matter. A police matter, maybe, but that's none of my business.",
">\n\nI think we should all have the right to smoke crack and bang 30-year-old hookers.",
">\n\nCrack dealers and 30 year old hookers are this nations backbone!",
">\n\nA perpetual liar….he would fit in great as a trump crony",
">\n\nCould teach ethics at Trump University!",
">\n\nI died on 9/11 as well.",
">\n\nDid you get better?",
">\n\nWell he was only partially dead",
">\n\nMOSTLY dead",
">\n\nIt'd take a miracle.",
">\n\nI'm not a witch; I'm your wife!",
">\n\nRemember when Howard Dean said woohoo too weirdly and he got shit out of the political system..",
">\n\nif only he yelled, \" I grab women by the pussy, and I'm fucking a porn star while my 3rd wife is pregnant, WOOOO\" then he would have become president. (based on the strong family values)",
">\n\nWell yeah, cause “WOOOO” is presidential. It’s the “hoo” part of what Howard Dean said, it was like he was saying “who, who cares?” How can you trust a man that asks “who”??? (/s of course)",
">\n\nMan I wonder if Ric Flair has ever considered a career in politics",
">\n\n\nOn his campaign website, Santos’s team acknowledged that while “George’s mother was in her office in the South Tower on September 11, 2001, when the horrific events of that day unfolded,” she was not among the more than 2,700 people killed at the World Trade Center.\n“She survived the tragic events on September 11th, but she passed away a few years later when she lost her battle to cancer,” the campaign website reads.\n\nSo... how long until we find out she was nowhere near the WTC on 9/11?",
">\n\nAlso, since when is 15 years later a ‘few years’?",
">\n\nI was born a few years before 9/11...\nIn 1980\nEdit: absolutely loving these responses!",
">\n\nWhich was literally right before I was born a few blinks later in 1986! Wow, this new timeline made us twins!",
">\n\nI too was born in June of 1971!",
">\n\nWhat a coincidence, I was born just a six months later in January of 1998",
">\n\nHey, right next to me! November of '85!!",
">\n\nI think our mothers met in the hospital in 1976 when I was born up to 15 minutes or more before you were.",
">\n\nYes! My mom shared a room with your mom in 2003 and then sadly passed in on 9/11",
">\n\nLike claiming on his taxes he had zero assets and only a $55k job but simultaneously he's also, \"made many millions from own business\"?",
">\n\nMan, I wonder where all these shitty Republicans are getting these ideas from that they can lie as freely as they want without any repercussions?",
">\n\nIt's worse than no repercussions, I legitimately believe that deep down the Republican base\nactively appreciates politicians who just blatantly lie like this. Just people who look you straight in the fucking face and tell you the sky is green.\nLying constantly is an asset and not a liability for Republican politicians, specifically with the right wing base. They have completely given up on objective reality, if people haven't figured that out yet.\nSantos figured it out, that's why he did what he did, and why he's an elected politician now.",
">\n\nI'd say they see pulling a fast one on an opponent as a sign of strength, yeah, but also (importantly) they don't think there are any politicians that don't lie. Even the ones they like.\nIt's basically a truism of conservatives that politicians never tell the truth. They might even like some things Dems say, but since everyone is a liar, there must be some catch. Things can never get better. No politician is really better than another. The world exists as it is, is structured as it is, and we must endure it as it is.\nUltimately I think this mindset is a result of the party itself having essentially no ethical or policy standards that are actually enforced (and to be clear, it's not that I think their ethics have to match mine; it's whether they enforce any ethical standards at all).",
">\n\nAnd this is by design. If their base believes nothing can be done to make the world better, they it follows that nothing SHOULD be done. Government doing nothing benefits the rich, who CAN do something, while the rest of us sit around with our thumbs up our asses getting robbed blind. Complacency and inaction benefit the rich.",
">\n\nWhat a piece of shit",
">\n\nTBF she died on 9/11/2016.",
">\n\nReminds me of some show or movie talking about going to 'Nam but it was like in the 80s or 90s",
">\n\nAre you thinking of this scene from \"It's Always Sunny In Philadelphia\"?",
">\n\nA lot of good men died",
">\n\nIs there not concern about the dust from the tower collapses causing cancer in people, and do we not consider those people as also being victims of 9/11? \nI'll add a reddit hedge here to say that this guy is obviously a piece of shit, but we can't go around saying the emergency responders should be compensated for cancers caused by breathing the dust from 9/11 while simultaneously saying that someone had to have died on that date to be considered a victim of the attack...",
">\n\nThe emergency responders were in the pile for weeks, some of them months. That’s why they got sick. If you were down there that day, you ran away and found a way home. We didn’t stick around and we didn’t come back.",
">\n\nEven people who werent first responders and ran away died from cancers due to 9/11. There was just a frontpage reddit post showing a pic of someone just like you claim didnt exist.",
">\n\nNo one should be surprised by Republicans lying. Be surprised when they tell the truth.",
">\n\nIsn’t pathological lying a prerequisite for maga politicians. It’s like the X-games for falsehoods.",
">\n\nNot necessarily a prerequisite. They just have zero problem with those of their party who lie for 1 of 2 reasons:\n1) They see the R next to the name and think it would be worse to have a Democrat in that position. It doesn't matter if the R was a murderer, child molester, or a rapist. Their religious doctrine tells them that person has been forgiven by skydaddy so past, future, and current sins don't matter. \n2) They are mired in \"well, the other side lies too, so what's the difference?\"",
">\n\nThis is what Republicons want.",
">\n\nSociopaths have zero anxiety about lying to get what they want.",
">\n\nThere are people that won’t run for office because they smoked pot once in high school and don’t want to get dragged. Then there is this guy.",
">\n\nAt this point, I'm convinced. Santos hails from the same planet as Ted Cruz.\nHe's lied about everything else--he'd probably lie about being a real human too.",
">\n\nLMAO was just thinking we should get a DNA test to determine if he is male or even human at this point",
">\n\nTBH I'm enjoying this Santos character and the media obsession. This is far more exciting and interesting than Elon Musk's midlife crisis or Trump's demented psychological spiraling and screaming into the void.",
">\n\nsame here but i'm running out of popcorn.",
">\n\nGet the Costco size next time because this show ain't ending soon",
">\n\n\nThe 50,000 from russians points to something bigger tho.\n\nI agree with your assessment. Small time con man and fraud, grifting and criming under the radar and somehow got Russian funding to go big time. It's fascinating, can't wait to see where this story goes.",
">\n\nInterviewer: You said your mom died on 9/11. She actually died in 2016, how do you explain your comment?\nSantos: Right, she died on 9/11 in 2016. Was I not clear about that?\nInterviewer: Your mom died in April\nSantos: Yes, yes she did, god rest her soul.",
">\n\nHe said claimed-ish suckers",
">\n\nThis is a psychological condition. Amateur working theory: histrionic personality disorder.",
">\n\nTomorrow's headline: George Santos actually three Peruvian guinea pigs in disguise.",
">\n\nThis dude is a fucking insane piece of shit. And, Republican. Good luck GOP, these are your people now.",
">\n\nThere was a time in America when making a mockery of the victims of 9/11 like that would earn you universal condemnation. \nCertainly in Nassau County and Queens, which lost so many.\nI never want to hear any Republican say \"9/11\" ever a-fucking-gain.",
">\n\nnEvEr FoRgEt!!!\nI truly don't mean to mock anybody affected by 9/11, but damn Republicans show an insane ability to forget everything that makes them human. I mean, when Jon Stewart has to shame them into funding healthcare for the sick and dying first responders? Shit is awful",
">\n\nYou got a good one, GQP. Jfc, what a joke that party is.",
">\n\nJesus H., has this party no shame? It seems like every frickin’ day it’s something new with this guy. And Trump. And DeSantis, and Abbot, and Cruz, and Rubio. Oh, and Jordan. And Comer. And Goemert and Banks and SC “justices” Thomas, Nunsuch, Krakenaugh and Alito and …",
">\n\nThis dude just created a whole new identity and family history. It's impressive in its own way.",
">\n\nWtf is wrong with person. This has to fall under election fraud? He pretty much manipulated the election with so many lies.",
">\n\nHe clearly said “9/11 claimed my mother’s life-ish.”",
">\n\nThis guys a pathological liar. He’ll fit right in with the current Republican Party.",
">\n\nDo you mean to tell me that a Republican is a pathological liar and GOP voters don’t care? Shocking. /s",
">\n\nHe shoulda been a pastor. Woulda been just fine.",
">\n\nWow people really hate the 'libs' to elect and continue to keep this guy. Just like Walker, they don't care just hate.",
">\n\nMaybe she got swept up by 9/11 conspiracies and spiraled into madness",
">\n\nAll the kooky conservative crazies are coming out of the woodworks comparing this with Elizabeth Warren lol",
">\n\nHow long until it comes out he never had a mother?",
">\n\nGold.",
">\n\nHow this got past local media is the big crime here. Lie all you want but how were people not looking into these claims until after he's elected?",
">\n\nCould people stop normalizing this? We know that all politicians are liars, but not this blatantly. This guy needs to be shit down ASAP.",
">\n\nSomeone on Reddit said this is the new generation of the GOP…..",
">\n\nClaimed his mother's life-ish.",
">\n\nHonestly surprised he can even acknowledge that 9/11 actually happened. Doesn't he know it was a conspiracy made ip by the librul media to take our guns away and force us to worship Allah?",
">\n\nHe meant 911 /s",
">\n\nIs there lie he won't tell? I'm amazed by his lies, or is he delusional abd actually believes it? I'd he mentally ill?",
">\n\nAt this point I'm just surprised she's dead.",
">\n\nHe’s simply a compulsive liar",
">\n\nBruh \nHow is this man not already terminated and a considered a permanent joke for any government position?",
">\n\nIf they make a movie about this guy’s life, then Jon Lovitz should play him.",
">\n\nPeople must realize this is what Trump wrought",
">\n\nI’m starting to feel like I got a degree from Stanford. A few years ago.",
">\n\nAny assertion made by a politician should be under penalty of perjury. I'm sick of these fucking lies, conspiracy theories, and political stunts like illegal human trafficking to the Naval Observatory with impunity.\nAt worst, they get scolded by a toothless ethics committee/internal affairs/fox guarding the hen house.\nI'm sick of it.",
">\n\nI mean in the grand scheme of things - are they really trivial? If he lies about stuff that absolutely does not matter, how could you trust him with anything at all???",
">\n\nFor a group of people who love to tell you to “do your research”, this is just…perfection.",
">\n\n*Cue Theme Music*\n╔═════════════════ ೋღ☃ღೋ ════════════════╗ \n The GOP is a bona fide, de facto, corporatized\n Organized Crime Syndicate. \n╚═════════════════ ೋღ☃ღೋ ════════════════╝\nAnd a cult.\n(☝˘▾˘)☝",
">\n\nI mean, it's possible that she ended up in a coma because of 9/11 and remained comatose until she died in 2016.\nGiven his track record I wouldn't believe that until proven otherwise.",
">\n\nPandering to the stupid is way too easy",
">\n\nThis man needs a room full of therapists. His lies have lies. No shame whatsoever.",
">\n\nThey're joking around on Twitter that Jon Lovitz should come out of SNL retirement to bring back his 'Pathological Liars Anonymous Association' skit in honor of Santos.",
">\n\nThe Republican Party has brought this on itself.\nThese are the Candidates that your treasonous behavior has implemented to be embraced by your constituents presently.\nUnless you clean house, denounce trump and the PHONY MAGA MOVEMENT that still has a stranglehold on the party you’ll never regain any sense of respectability.\nAnd your biggest unforgivable sin was aligning yourself with money hungry Evangelicals who used Christianity to lined their pockets & sway believers that god favors the GOP, that god favors love of money, being poor is sinful, and women are possessions.\nYou’ve perverted Christianity for your own vile selfish purposes… that’s unforgivable!",
">\n\nIs this guy a malfunctioning robot.",
">\n\nIs George Santos just a GOP experiment to see how much lying they can get away with in the post-Trump age?",
">\n\nThis guy is the gift that keeps on giving to Democrats",
">\n\nYe/Santos 2024\nBecause truth hasn't mattered to the GOP in my entire life.",
">\n\nHe once shook hands with Abraham Lincoln.",
">\n\nThe system that morphed to allow the shittiest people on earth to be in charge is eventually going to destroy earth as we know it. Is that what Harmagedon is?",
">\n\nFuck Republicans",
">\n\nHe’s literally the Anna Delvey of politics right now",
">\n\nThis guy is the true embodiment of the Republican party in 2022. Lie till you make it. When your caught, who gives a fuck you're a Republican, they never hold each other accountable cause they're all full of shit. Accountability for thee not for me.",
">\n\nThey should have arrested 9/11 before it could kill again.",
">\n\nWas her cancer related to the events of 9/11?\nThere's been more than 1300 deaths from 9/11-related cancers.\nI've heard other families talk about how the attacks effectively signed a death warrant for their family members who later died from attack related illnesses. Perhaps he was making a similar kind of reference?",
">\n\nIt's possible, but there's no evidence she was there.\nHe claims she was at her office in one of the towers on the day of the attack. However her employment record only shows her ever working for one company, and it went out of business in 1994.\nSo odds are it's yet another lie.",
">\n\nMy 🍿 is running low",
">\n\nThis George Santos guy seems like a real jerk.",
">\n\nShe was riding her bike uptown and got hit by a bus. I've seen this episode before.",
">\n\nApparently Hershel Walker did get elected.",
">\n\nThis man cannot be allowed into government.",
">\n\nThis dude is a real life version of Elliot from Search Party",
">\n\nThis fucking guy",
">\n\nTIL how to get elected for Congress. Lie like a mofo and hope I get elected before anyone finds out.",
">\n\nThis does all beg the question of why did the democrats not actually do any research on this guy.",
">\n\nI think he’s lying about being a human as well. He’s an oversized creepy doll.",
">\n\nAs we keep saying over and over he’s a perfect fit for the Republican party! Look at Donald Trump and so many of the magas they are compulsive and pathological liars. No ethics, no regard for truth or honor. Republican party is the party of dishonor. Insurrectionists and liars.",
">\n\nIt claimed her life-ish.",
">\n\nHe's just a straight up lying POS. Fits in nicely with the rest of his party.",
">\n\nIt's like an unwritten episode of Seinfeld: George Constanza realizes that people just believe him when he lies about random stuff and starts lying about everything.",
">\n\nAre we absolutely sure Santos isn't a comedian doing a bit?",
">\n\nI cannot fathom how willingly the GOP and their constituents are completely fucking OK with the lies.",
">\n\nIf she died 9/11/2016 then technically he’s not wrong and I’m not even mad he got us on this one.",
">\n\nHe’s obviously mentally ill.",
">\n\nPathological lying is not going to be the issue, it’s going to be about where did the money come from? Anyway you cut it this clown is in a world of hurt.",
">\n\nWhat a disgusting POS",
">\n\nIt claimed it very slowly.",
">\n\nHe looks like such a little shit lmao.",
">\n\nHow the efff is this allowed?? You’d be fired from a grocery store for lying on your resume. What a world :(",
">\n\nThis is may just have a mental illness.\nI’m betting on a new crazy lie gets revealed every day for the next year.",
">\n\nHe is the perfect example of a politician",
">\n\nAdd this to the long list of other ridiculous shit he has lied about. This guy is so not qualified to even run a lemonade stand. \nAnd yet he will get away with it as the Republicans will protect him so they can get their way in the House and the votes for McCarthy. They will turn a blind eye to it and two weeks, so will everyone in the country.",
">\n\nNo no no, he said it \"claimed my mother's life-ish\".",
">\n\nThis is what happens when “the end justifies the means” mentality gets normalized."

Typical Republican…LMAO when blamed Biden in his interview on Fox… Fox called it Fake News. But bottom line he is going to be seated in the next house!!

">\n\nIt was a matter of why would he lie about things so easy to check on let's not waste the 15 minutes on this. Now that he has done this I believe many news sources will fact check work/education. Hell Republicans won't shut up about Biden's claim he graduated in the top half of his class and promptly found out he was 75/83 so not top half.",
">\n\nWhy lie about something so easily fact checked? Well, now we know why.",
">\n\nYeah it opened eyes but seriously most news agencies wouldn't bother to fact check his education and resume because it's publically available info and so easy to check the just made asses of themselves and didn't check. Now that this shit has happened and Santos just basically thumbs his nose at it I am sincerely hoping they check even the most basic simple aspects of candidates now.

">\n\nHe must’ve been laughing every time he made crazy shit up and no one called him out on it-and then he won.",
">\n\nAll the way to the bank. Dude had a 55k a year job and no assets in 2020. This year he's a millionaire who dumped millions into his campaign and no records of where the money came from. He's wanted for fraud in Brazil. And I believe the IRS is now looking into where his money came from and possible tax fraud charges. The FEC is investigating his campaign finances. Hopefully he ends up in jail or extradited to Brazil to face charges there so new York can recall and replace him. His listed residence in NY is an office as well I think not a living quarters so he may be investigated over that as well.",
">\n\nWhy do I get this feeling that he's not even a citizen? I used to be a LEO and people who lie like Santos are always very bad news; either they're Sociopathic, or they have a history of associating with criminals, or possibly both. I think he was big trouble when he was in Brazil...",

">\n\nMan, I wonder where all these shitty Republicans are getting these ideas from that they can lie as freely as they want without any repercussions?",
">\n\nIt's worse than no repercussions, I legitimately believe that deep down the Republican base\nactively appreciates politicians who just blatantly lie like this. Just people who look you straight in the fucking face and tell you the sky is green.\nLying constantly is an asset and not a liability for Republican politicians, specifically with the right wing base. They have completely given up on objective reality, if people haven't figured that out yet.\nSantos figured it out, that's why he did what he did, and why he's an elected politician now.",
">\n\nI'd say they see pulling a fast one on an opponent as a sign of strength, yeah, but also (importantly) they don't think there are any politicians that don't lie. Even the ones they like.\nIt's basically a truism of conservatives that politicians never tell the truth. They might even like some things Dems say, but since everyone is a liar, there must be some catch. Things can never get better. No politician is really better than another. The world exists as it is, is structured as it is, and we must endure it as it is.\nUltimately I think this mindset is a result of the party itself having essentially no ethical or policy standards that are actually enforced (and to be clear, it's not that I think their ethics have to match mine; it's whether they enforce any ethical standards at all).",
">\n\nAnd this is by design. If their base believes nothing can be done to make the world better, they it follows that nothing SHOULD be done. Government doing nothing benefits the rich, who CAN do something, while the rest of us sit around with our thumbs up our asses getting robbed blind. Complacency and inaction benefit the rich.",

">\n\nIt's worse than no repercussions, I legitimately believe that deep down the Republican base\nactively appreciates politicians who just blatantly lie like this. Just people who look you straight in the fucking face and tell you the sky is green.\nLying constantly is an asset and not a liability for Republican politicians, specifically with the right wing base. They have completely given up on objective reality, if people haven't figured that out yet.\nSantos figured it out, that's why he did what he did, and why he's an elected politician now.",
">\n\nI'd say they see pulling a fast one on an opponent as a sign of strength, yeah, but also (importantly) they don't think there are any politicians that don't lie. Even the ones they like.\nIt's basically a truism of conservatives that politicians never tell the truth. They might even like some things Dems say, but since everyone is a liar, there must be some catch. Things can never get better. No politician is really better than another. The world exists as it is, is structured as it is, and we must endure it as it is.\nUltimately I think this mindset is a result of the party itself having essentially no ethical or policy standards that are actually enforced (and to be clear, it's not that I think their ethics have to match mine; it's whether they enforce any ethical standards at all).",
">\n\nAnd this is by design. If their base believes nothing can be done to make the world better, they it follows that nothing SHOULD be done. Government doing nothing benefits the rich, who CAN do something, while the rest of us sit around with our thumbs up our asses getting robbed blind. Complacency and inaction benefit the rich.",

It doesn't matter if the R was a murderer, child molester, or a rapist.

">\n\nAll the way to the bank. Dude had a 55k a year job and no assets in 2020. This year he's a millionaire who dumped millions into his campaign and no records of where the money came from.

Hopefully he ends up in jail or extradited to Brazil to face charges there so new York can recall and replace him. His listed residence in NY is an office as well I think not a living quarters so he may be investigated over that as well.",
">\n\nWhy do I get this feeling that he's not even a citizen? I used to be a LEO and people who lie like Santos are always very bad news; either they're Sociopathic, or they have a history of associating with criminals, or possibly both. I think he was big trouble when he was in Brazil...",

">\n\n\nOn his campaign website, Santos’s team acknowledged that while “George’s mother was in her office in the South Tower on September 11, 2001, when the horrific events of that day unfolded,” she was not among the more than 2,700 people killed at the World Trade Center.\n“She survived the tragic events on September 11th, but she passed away a few years later when she lost her battle to cancer,” the campaign website reads.\n\nSo... how long until we find out she was nowhere near the WTC on 9/11?",

">\n\nI think our mothers met in the hospital in 1976 when I was born up to 15 minutes or more before you were.",
">\n\nYes! My mom shared a room with your mom in 2003 and then sadly passed in on 9/11",
">\n\nLike claiming on his taxes he had zero assets and only a $55k job but simultaneously he's also, \"made many millions from own business\"?",
">\n\nMan, I wonder where all these shitty Republicans are getting these ideas from that they can lie as freely as they want without any repercussions?",
">\n\nIt's worse than no repercussions, I legitimately believe that deep down the Republican base\nactively appreciates politicians who just blatantly lie like this. Just people who look you straight in the fucking face and tell you the sky is green.\nLying constantly is an asset and not a liability for Republican politicians, specifically with the right wing base. They have completely given up on objective reality, if people haven't figured that out yet.\nSantos figured it out, that's why he did what he did, and why he's an elected politician now.",
">\n\nI'd say they see pulling a fast one on an opponent as a sign of strength, yeah, but also (importantly) they don't think there are any politicians that don't lie. Even the ones they like.\nIt's basically a truism of conservatives that politicians never tell the truth. They might even like some things Dems say, but since everyone is a liar, there must be some catch. Things can never get better. No politician is really better than another. The world exists as it is, is structured as it is, and we must endure it as it is.\nUltimately I think this mindset is a result of the party itself having essentially no ethical or policy standards that are actually enforced (and to be clear, it's not that I think their ethics have to match mine; it's whether they enforce any ethical standards at all).",
">\n\nAnd this is by design. If their base believes nothing can be done to make the world better, they it follows that nothing SHOULD be done. Government doing nothing benefits the rich, who CAN do something, while the rest of us sit around with our thumbs up our asses getting robbed blind. Complacency and inaction benefit the rich.",

">\n\nIsn’t pathological lying a prerequisite for maga politicians. It’s like the X-games for falsehoods.",
">\n\nNot necessarily a prerequisite. They just have zero problem with those of their party who lie for 1 of 2 reasons:\n1) They see the R next to the name and think it would be worse to have a Democrat in that position. It doesn't matter if the R was a murderer, child molester, or a rapist.

">\n\nnEvEr FoRgEt!!!\nI truly don't mean to mock anybody affected by 9/11, but damn Republicans show an insane ability to forget everything that makes them human. I mean, when Jon Stewart has to shame them into funding healthcare for the sick and dying first responders? Shit is awful",

"How was none of this found out while he was running for office instead of after?",
">\n\nWhen he ran back in 2020, his campaign budget of 40,000 did not help.\nBut in 2022, he had millions in campaign budget and the media cannot simply ignore all thses dough and insult the potential customer with the truth.",
">\n\nI am just surprised no journalist just innocently checking his credentials didn’t stumble onto any of this. There is just so much!",
">\n\nIt was a matter of why would he lie about things so easy to check on let's not waste the 15 minutes on this. Now that he has done this I believe many news sources will fact check work/education. Hell Republicans won't shut up about Biden's claim he graduated in the top half of his class and promptly found out he was 75/83 so not top half.",
">\n\nWhy lie about something so easily fact checked? Well, now we know why.",
">\n\nYeah it opened eyes but seriously most news agencies wouldn't bother to fact check his education and resume because it's publically available info and so easy to check the just made asses of themselves and didn't check. Now that this shit has happened and Santos just basically thumbs his nose at it I am sincerely hoping they check even the most basic simple aspects of candidates now. Hell Santos was born in the 80's and claims to have worked for Reagan's administration.",
">\n\nHe must’ve been laughing every time he made crazy shit up and no one called him out on it-and then he won.",
">\n\nAll the way to the bank. Dude had a 55k a year job and no assets in 2020. This year he's a millionaire who dumped millions into his campaign and no records of where the money came from. He's wanted for fraud in Brazil. And I believe the IRS is now looking into where his money came from and possible tax fraud charges. The FEC is investigating his campaign finances. Hopefully he ends up in jail or extradited to Brazil to face charges there so new York can recall and replace him. His listed residence in NY is an office as well I think not a living quarters so he may be investigated over that as well.",
">\n\nWhy do I get this feeling that he's not even a citizen? I used to be a LEO and people who lie like Santos are always very bad news; either they're Sociopathic, or they have a history of associating with criminals, or possibly both. I think he was big trouble when he was in Brazil...",

">\n\nLike claiming on his taxes he had zero assets and only a $55k job but simultaneously he's also, \"made many millions from own business\"?",
">\n\nMan, I wonder where all these shitty Republicans are getting these ideas from that they can lie as freely as they want without any repercussions?",
">\n\nIt's worse than no repercussions, I legitimately believe that deep down the Republican base\nactively appreciates politicians who just blatantly lie like this. Just people who look you straight in the fucking face and tell you the sky is green.\nLying constantly is an asset and not a liability for Republican politicians, specifically with the right wing base. They have completely given up on objective reality, if people haven't figured that out yet.\nSantos figured it out, that's why he did what he did, and why he's an elected politician now.",
">\n\nI'd say they see pulling a fast one on an opponent as a sign of strength, yeah, but also (importantly) they don't think there are any politicians that don't lie. Even the ones they like.\nIt's basically a truism of conservatives that politicians never tell the truth. They might even like some things Dems say, but since everyone is a liar, there must be some catch. Things can never get better. No politician is really better than another. The world exists as it is, is structured as it is, and we must endure it as it is.\nUltimately I think this mindset is a result of the party itself having essentially no ethical or policy standards that are actually enforced (and to be clear, it's not that I think their ethics have to match mine; it's whether they enforce any ethical standards at all).",
">\n\nAnd this is by design. If their base believes nothing can be done to make the world better, they it follows that nothing SHOULD be done. Government doing nothing benefits the rich, who CAN do something, while the rest of us sit around with our thumbs up our asses getting robbed blind. Complacency and inaction benefit the rich.",

">\n\nMan I wonder if Ric Flair has ever considered a career in politics",
">\n\n\nOn his campaign website, Santos’s team acknowledged that while “George’s mother was in her office in the South Tower on September 11, 2001, when the horrific events of that day unfolded,” she was not among the more than 2,700 people killed at the World Trade Center.\n“She survived the tragic events on September 11th, but she passed away a few years later when she lost her battle to cancer,” the campaign website reads.\n\nSo... how long until we find out she was nowhere near the WTC on 9/11?",

">\n\nI too was born in June of 1971!",

">\n\nHey, right next to me! November of '85!!",
">\n\nI think our mothers met in the hospital in 1976 when I was born up to 15 minutes or more before you were.",
">\n\nYes! My mom shared a room with your mom in 2003 and then sadly passed in on 9/11",
">\n\nLike claiming on his taxes he had zero assets and only a $55k job but simultaneously he's also, \"made many millions from own business\"?",
">\n\nMan, I wonder where all these shitty Republicans are getting these ideas from that they can lie as freely as they want without any repercussions?",
">\n\nIt's worse than no repercussions, I legitimately believe that deep down the Republican base\nactively appreciates politicians who just blatantly lie like this. Just people who look you straight in the fucking face and tell you the sky is green.\nLying constantly is an asset and not a liability for Republican politicians, specifically with the right wing base. They have completely given up on objective reality, if people haven't figured that out yet.\nSantos figured it out, that's why he did what he did, and why he's an elected politician now.",
">\n\nI'd say they see pulling a fast one on an opponent as a sign of strength, yeah, but also (importantly) they don't think there are any politicians that don't lie. Even the ones they like.\nIt's basically a truism of conservatives that politicians never tell the truth. They might even like some things Dems say, but since everyone is a liar, there must be some catch. Things can never get better. No politician is really better than another. The world exists as it is, is structured as it is, and we must endure it as it is.\nUltimately I think this mindset is a result of the party itself having essentially no ethical or policy standards that are actually enforced (and to be clear, it's not that I think their ethics have to match mine; it's whether they enforce any ethical standards at all).",
">\n\nAnd this is by design. If their base believes nothing can be done to make the world better, they it follows that nothing SHOULD be done. Government doing nothing benefits the rich, who CAN do something, while the rest of us sit around with our thumbs up our asses getting robbed blind. Complacency and inaction benefit the rich.",

">\n\nThe emergency responders were in the pile for weeks, some of them months. That’s why they got sick. If you were down there that day, you ran away and found a way home. We didn’t stick around and we didn’t come back.",

">\n\nNo one should be surprised by Republicans lying. Be surprised when they tell the truth.",
">\n\nIsn’t pathological lying a prerequisite for maga politicians. It’s like the X-games for falsehoods.",
">\n\nNot necessarily a prerequisite. They just have zero problem with those of their party who lie for 1 of 2 reasons:\n1) They see the R next to the name and think it would be worse to have a Democrat in that position. It doesn't matter if the R was a murderer, child molester, or a rapist. Their religious doctrine tells them that person has been forgiven by skydaddy so past, future, and current sins don't matter. \n2) They are mired in \"well, the other side lies too, so what's the difference?\"",
">\n\nThis is what Republicons want.",

">\n\nInterviewer: You said your mom died on 9/11. She actually died in 2016, how do you explain your comment?\nSantos: Right, she died on 9/11 in 2016. Was I not clear about that?\nInterviewer: Your mom died in April\nSantos: Yes, yes she did, god rest her soul.",

">\n\nnEvEr FoRgEt!!!\nI truly don't mean to mock anybody affected by 9/11, but damn Republicans show an insane ability to forget everything that makes them human. I mean, when Jon Stewart has to shame them into funding healthcare for the sick and dying first responders? Shit is awful",

Okay I agree that Santos is clearly a liar and should not still hold a government position, but I don’t think we should discount the long term effects of 9/11 on the people in the area.
First responders are still fighting to get money they deserve for cancer and other medical conditions caused by the harmful dust and debris produced during the collapse of the towers. Jon Stewart has given a bunch of great speeches if people are interested in learning more.
I’m not saying that this is what happened in this scenario but people using the fact that his mom died in 2016 as clear cut evidence is not as black and white as it seems.

">\n\nWhen he ran back in 2020, his campaign budget of 40,000 did not help.\nBut in 2022, he had millions in campaign budget and the media cannot simply ignore all thses dough and insult the potential customer with the truth.",
">\n\nI am just surprised no journalist just innocently checking his credentials didn’t stumble onto any of this. There is just so much!",
">\n\nIt was a matter of why would he lie about things so easy to check on let's not waste the 15 minutes on this. Now that he has done this I believe many news sources will fact check work/education. Hell Republicans won't shut up about Biden's claim he graduated in the top half of his class and promptly found out he was 75/83 so not top half.",
">\n\nWhy lie about something so easily fact checked? Well, now we know why.",
">\n\nYeah it opened eyes but seriously most news agencies wouldn't bother to fact check his education and resume because it's publically available info and so easy to check the just made asses of themselves and didn't check. Now that this shit has happened and Santos just basically thumbs his nose at it I am sincerely hoping they check even the most basic simple aspects of candidates now. Hell Santos was born in the 80's and claims to have worked for Reagan's administration.",
">\n\nHe must’ve been laughing every time he made crazy shit up and no one called him out on it-and then he won.",
">\n\nAll the way to the bank. Dude had a 55k a year job and no assets in 2020. This year he's a millionaire who dumped millions into his campaign and no records of where the money came from. He's wanted for fraud in Brazil. And I believe the IRS is now looking into where his money came from and possible tax fraud charges. The FEC is investigating his campaign finances. Hopefully he ends up in jail or extradited to Brazil to face charges there so new York can recall and replace him. His listed residence in NY is an office as well I think not a living quarters so he may be investigated over that as well.",
">\n\nWhy do I get this feeling that he's not even a citizen? I used to be a LEO and people who lie like Santos are always very bad news; either they're Sociopathic, or they have a history of associating with criminals, or possibly both. I think he was big trouble when he was in Brazil...",

">\n\nI think our mothers met in the hospital in 1976 when I was born up to 15 minutes or more before you were.",
">\n\nYes! My mom shared a room with your mom in 2003 and then sadly passed in on 9/11",
">\n\nLike claiming on his taxes he had zero assets and only a $55k job but simultaneously he's also, \"made many millions from own business\"?",
">\n\nMan, I wonder where all these shitty Republicans are getting these ideas from that they can lie as freely as they want without any repercussions?",
">\n\nIt's worse than no repercussions, I legitimately believe that deep down the Republican base\nactively appreciates politicians who just blatantly lie like this. Just people who look you straight in the fucking face and tell you the sky is green.\nLying constantly is an asset and not a liability for Republican politicians, specifically with the right wing base. They have completely given up on objective reality, if people haven't figured that out yet.\nSantos figured it out, that's why he did what he did, and why he's an elected politician now.",
">\n\nI'd say they see pulling a fast one on an opponent as a sign of strength, yeah, but also (importantly) they don't think there are any politicians that don't lie. Even the ones they like.\nIt's basically a truism of conservatives that politicians never tell the truth. They might even like some things Dems say, but since everyone is a liar, there must be some catch. Things can never get better. No politician is really better than another. The world exists as it is, is structured as it is, and we must endure it as it is.\nUltimately I think this mindset is a result of the party itself having essentially no ethical or policy standards that are actually enforced (and to be clear, it's not that I think their ethics have to match mine; it's whether they enforce any ethical standards at all).",
">\n\nAnd this is by design. If their base believes nothing can be done to make the world better, they it follows that nothing SHOULD be done. Government doing nothing benefits the rich, who CAN do something, while the rest of us sit around with our thumbs up our asses getting robbed blind. Complacency and inaction benefit the rich.",

">\n\nAll the way to the bank. Dude had a 55k a year job and no assets in 2020. This year he's a millionaire who dumped millions into his campaign and no records of where the money came from. He's wanted for fraud in Brazil. And I believe the IRS is now looking into where his money came from and possible tax fraud charges. The FEC is investigating his campaign finances. Hopefully he ends up in jail or extradited to Brazil to face charges there so new York can recall and replace him. His listed residence in NY is an office as well I think not a living quarters so he may be investigated over that as well.",
">\n\nWhy do I get this feeling that he's not even a citizen? I used to be a LEO and people who lie like Santos are always very bad news; either they're Sociopathic, or they have a history of associating with criminals, or possibly both. I think he was big trouble when he was in Brazil...",

">\n\nMan I wonder if Ric Flair has ever considered a career in politics",
">\n\n\nOn his campaign website, Santos’s team acknowledged that while “George’s mother was in her office in the South Tower on September 11, 2001, when the horrific events of that day unfolded,” she was not among the more than 2,700 people killed at the World Trade Center.\n“She survived the tragic events on September 11th, but she passed away a few years later when she lost her battle to cancer,” the campaign website reads.\n\nSo... how long until we find out she was nowhere near the WTC on 9/11?",
">\n\nAlso, since when is 15 years later a ‘few years’?",
">\n\nI was born a few years before 9/11...\nIn 1980\nEdit: absolutely loving these responses!",
">\n\nWhich was literally right before I was born a few blinks later in 1986! Wow, this new timeline made us twins!",
">\n\nI too was born in June of 1971!",
">\n\nWhat a coincidence, I was born just a six months later in January of 1998",
">\n\nHey, right next to me! November of '85!!",
">\n\nI think our mothers met in the hospital in 1976 when I was born up to 15 minutes or more before you were.",
">\n\nYes! My mom shared a room with your mom in 2003 and then sadly passed in on 9/11",
">\n\nLike claiming on his taxes he had zero assets and only a $55k job but simultaneously he's also, \"made many millions from own business\"?",
">\n\nMan, I wonder where all these shitty Republicans are getting these ideas from that they can lie as freely as they want without any repercussions?",
">\n\nIt's worse than no repercussions, I legitimately believe that deep down the Republican base\nactively appreciates politicians who just blatantly lie like this. Just people who look you straight in the fucking face and tell you the sky is green.\nLying constantly is an asset and not a liability for Republican politicians, specifically with the right wing base. They have completely given up on objective reality, if people haven't figured that out yet.\nSantos figured it out, that's why he did what he did, and why he's an elected politician now.",
">\n\nI'd say they see pulling a fast one on an opponent as a sign of strength, yeah, but also (importantly) they don't think there are any politicians that don't lie. Even the ones they like.\nIt's basically a truism of conservatives that politicians never tell the truth. They might even like some things Dems say, but since everyone is a liar, there must be some catch. Things can never get better. No politician is really better than another. The world exists as it is, is structured as it is, and we must endure it as it is.\nUltimately I think this mindset is a result of the party itself having essentially no ethical or policy standards that are actually enforced (and to be clear, it's not that I think their ethics have to match mine; it's whether they enforce any ethical standards at all).",
">\n\nAnd this is by design. If their base believes nothing can be done to make the world better, they it follows that nothing SHOULD be done. Government doing nothing benefits the rich, who CAN do something, while the rest of us sit around with our thumbs up our asses getting robbed blind. Complacency and inaction benefit the rich.",

">\n\nThe emergency responders were in the pile for weeks, some of them months. That’s why they got sick. If you were down there that day, you ran away and found a way home. We didn’t stick around and we didn’t come back.",

">\n\nNo one should be surprised by Republicans lying. Be surprised when they tell the truth.",
">\n\nIsn’t pathological lying a prerequisite for maga politicians. It’s like the X-games for falsehoods.",
">\n\nNot necessarily a prerequisite. They just have zero problem with those of their party who lie for 1 of 2 reasons:\n1) They see the R next to the name and think it would be worse to have a Democrat in that position. It doesn't matter if the R was a murderer, child molester, or a rapist. Their religious doctrine tells them that person has been forgiven by skydaddy so past, future, and current sins don't matter. \n2) They are mired in \"well, the other side lies too, so what's the difference?\"",
">\n\nThis is what Republicons want.",
">\n\nSociopaths have zero anxiety about lying to get what they want.",

">\n\nInterviewer: You said your mom died on 9/11. She actually died in 2016, how do you explain your comment?\nSantos: Right, she died on 9/11 in 2016. Was I not clear about that?\nInterviewer: Your mom died in April\nSantos: Yes, yes she did, god rest her soul.",

">\n\nThis is a psychological condition. Amateur working theory: histrionic personality disorder.",
">\n\nTomorrow's headline: George Santos actually three Peruvian guinea pigs in disguise.",
">\n\nThis dude is a fucking insane piece of shit. And, Republican. Good luck GOP, these are your people now.",
">\n\nThere was a time in America when making a mockery of the victims of 9/11 like that would earn you universal condemnation. \nCertainly in Nassau County and Queens, which lost so many.\nI never want to hear any Republican say \"9/11\" ever a-fucking-gain.",
">\n\nnEvEr FoRgEt!!!\nI truly don't mean to mock anybody affected by 9/11, but damn Republicans show an insane ability to forget everything that makes them human. I mean, when Jon Stewart has to shame them into funding healthcare for the sick and dying first responders? Shit is awful",
">\n\nYou got a good one, GQP. Jfc, what a joke that party is.",
">\n\nJesus H., has this party no shame? It seems like every frickin’ day it’s something new with this guy. And Trump. And DeSantis, and Abbot, and Cruz, and Rubio. Oh, and Jordan. And Comer. And Goemert and Banks and SC “justices” Thomas, Nunsuch, Krakenaugh and Alito and …",
">\n\nThis dude just created a whole new identity and family history. It's impressive in its own way.",
">\n\nWtf is wrong with person. This has to fall under election fraud? He pretty much manipulated the election with so many lies.",
">\n\nHe clearly said “9/11 claimed my mother’s life-ish.”",

">\n\nHe meant 911 /s",
">\n\nIs there lie he won't tell? I'm amazed by his lies, or is he delusional abd actually believes it? I'd he mentally ill?",

">\n\nWhy lie about something so easily fact checked? Well, now we know why.",
">\n\nYeah it opened eyes but seriously most news agencies wouldn't bother to fact check his education and resume because it's publically available info and so easy to check the just made asses of themselves and didn't check.

">\n\nAll the way to the bank. Dude had a 55k a year job and no assets in 2020. This year he's a millionaire who dumped millions into his campaign and no records of where the money came from. He's wanted for fraud in Brazil. And I believe the IRS is now looking into where his money came from and possible tax fraud charges. The FEC is investigating his campaign finances. Hopefully he ends up in jail or extradited to Brazil to face charges there so new York can recall and replace him. His listed residence in NY is an office as well I think not a living quarters so he may be investigated over that as well.",
">\n\nWhy do I get this feeling that he's not even a citizen? I used to be a LEO and people who lie like Santos are always very bad news; either they're Sociopathic, or they have a history of associating with criminals, or possibly both. I think he was big trouble when he was in Brazil...",

">\n\nMan, I wonder where all these shitty Republicans are getting these ideas from that they can lie as freely as they want without any repercussions?",
">\n\nIt's worse than no repercussions, I legitimately believe that deep down the Republican base\nactively appreciates politicians who just blatantly lie like this. Just people who look you straight in the fucking face and tell you the sky is green.\nLying constantly is an asset and not a liability for Republican politicians, specifically with the right wing base. They have completely given up on objective reality, if people haven't figured that out yet.\nSantos figured it out, that's why he did what he did, and why he's an elected politician now.",
">\n\nI'd say they see pulling a fast one on an opponent as a sign of strength, yeah, but also (importantly) they don't think there are any politicians that don't lie. Even the ones they like.\nIt's basically a truism of conservatives that politicians never tell the truth. They might even like some things Dems say, but since everyone is a liar, there must be some catch. Things can never get better. No politician is really better than another. The world exists as it is, is structured as it is, and we must endure it as it is.\nUltimately I think this mindset is a result of the party itself having essentially no ethical or policy standards that are actually enforced (and to be clear, it's not that I think their ethics have to match mine; it's whether they enforce any ethical standards at all).",
">\n\nAnd this is by design. If their base believes nothing can be done to make the world better, they it follows that nothing SHOULD be done. Government doing nothing benefits the rich, who CAN do something, while the rest of us sit around with our thumbs up our asses getting robbed blind. Complacency and inaction benefit the rich.",

"How was none of this found out while he was running for office instead of after?",
">\n\nWhen he ran back in 2020, his campaign budget of 40,000 did not help.\nBut in 2022, he had millions in campaign budget and the media cannot simply ignore all thses dough and insult the potential customer with the truth.",
">\n\nI am just surprised no journalist just innocently checking his credentials didn’t stumble onto any of this. There is just so much!",
">\n\nIt was a matter of why would he lie about things so easy to check on let's not waste the 15 minutes on this. Now that he has done this I believe many news sources will fact check work/education. Hell Republicans won't shut up about Biden's claim he graduated in the top half of his class and promptly found out he was 75/83 so not top half.",
">\n\nWhy lie about something so easily fact checked? Well, now we know why.",
">\n\nYeah it opened eyes but seriously most news agencies wouldn't bother to fact check his education and resume because it's publically available info and so easy to check the just made asses of themselves and didn't check. Now that this shit has happened and Santos just basically thumbs his nose at it I am sincerely hoping they check even the most basic simple aspects of candidates now. Hell Santos was born in the 80's and claims to have worked for Reagan's administration.",
">\n\nHe must’ve been laughing every time he made crazy shit up and no one called him out on it-and then he won.",
">\n\nAll the way to the bank. Dude had a 55k a year job and no assets in 2020. This year he's a millionaire who dumped millions into his campaign and no records of where the money came from. He's wanted for fraud in Brazil. And I believe the IRS is now looking into where his money came from and possible tax fraud charges. The FEC is investigating his campaign finances. Hopefully he ends up in jail or extradited to Brazil to face charges there so new York can recall and replace him. His listed residence in NY is an office as well I think not a living quarters so he may be investigated over that as well.",
">\n\nWhy do I get this feeling that he's not even a citizen? I used to be a LEO and people who lie like Santos are always very bad news; either they're Sociopathic, or they have a history of associating with criminals, or possibly both. I think he was big trouble when he was in Brazil...",

">\n\nWho cares if some guy who has no political influence enjoys smoking crack and banging whores, and for some weird reason felt the need to document every time he did so",
">\n\nYeah, I'm not saying Hunter is a great dude. If anything, he needs some help. But I honestly don't really care if he smokes cracks and bangs 30 year old hookers lmao. He's not in office, it's not a political matter. A police matter, maybe, but that's none of my business.",

">\n\nWell yeah, cause “WOOOO” is presidential. It’s the “hoo” part of what Howard Dean said, it was like he was saying “who, who cares?” How can you trust a man that asks “who”??? (/s of course)",
">\n\nMan I wonder if Ric Flair has ever considered a career in politics",
">\n\n\nOn his campaign website, Santos’s team acknowledged that while “George’s mother was in her office in the South Tower on September 11, 2001, when the horrific events of that day unfolded,” she was not among the more than 2,700 people killed at the World Trade Center.\n“She survived the tragic events on September 11th, but she passed away a few years later when she lost her battle to cancer,” the campaign website reads.\n\nSo... how long until we find out she was nowhere near the WTC on 9/11?",
">\n\nAlso, since when is 15 years later a ‘few years’?",
">\n\nI was born a few years before 9/11...\nIn 1980\nEdit: absolutely loving these responses!",
">\n\nWhich was literally right before I was born a few blinks later in 1986! Wow, this new timeline made us twins!",
">\n\nI too was born in June of 1971!",
">\n\nWhat a coincidence, I was born just a six months later in January of 1998",
">\n\nHey, right next to me! November of '85!!",
">\n\nI think our mothers met in the hospital in 1976 when I was born up to 15 minutes or more before you were.",
">\n\nYes! My mom shared a room with your mom in 2003 and then sadly passed in on 9/11",
">\n\nLike claiming on his taxes he had zero assets and only a $55k job but simultaneously he's also, \"made many millions from own business\"?",
">\n\nMan, I wonder where all these shitty Republicans are getting these ideas from that they can lie as freely as they want without any repercussions?",
">\n\nIt's worse than no repercussions, I legitimately believe that deep down the Republican base\nactively appreciates politicians who just blatantly lie like this. Just people who look you straight in the fucking face and tell you the sky is green.\nLying constantly is an asset and not a liability for Republican politicians, specifically with the right wing base. They have completely given up on objective reality, if people haven't figured that out yet.\nSantos figured it out, that's why he did what he did, and why he's an elected politician now.",
">\n\nI'd say they see pulling a fast one on an opponent as a sign of strength, yeah, but also (importantly) they don't think there are any politicians that don't lie. Even the ones they like.\nIt's basically a truism of conservatives that politicians never tell the truth. They might even like some things Dems say, but since everyone is a liar, there must be some catch. Things can never get better. No politician is really better than another. The world exists as it is, is structured as it is, and we must endure it as it is.\nUltimately I think this mindset is a result of the party itself having essentially no ethical or policy standards that are actually enforced (and to be clear, it's not that I think their ethics have to match mine; it's whether they enforce any ethical standards at all).",
">\n\nAnd this is by design. If their base believes nothing can be done to make the world better, they it follows that nothing SHOULD be done. Government doing nothing benefits the rich, who CAN do something, while the rest of us sit around with our thumbs up our asses getting robbed blind. Complacency and inaction benefit the rich.",

">\n\nIs there not concern about the dust from the tower collapses causing cancer in people, and do we not consider those people as also being victims of 9/11? \nI'll add a reddit hedge here to say that this guy is obviously a piece of shit, but we can't go around saying the emergency responders should be compensated for cancers caused by breathing the dust from 9/11 while simultaneously saying that someone had to have died on that date to be considered a victim of the attack...",
">\n\nThe emergency responders were in the pile for weeks, some of them months. That’s why they got sick. If you were down there that day, you ran away and found a way home. We didn’t stick around and we didn’t come back.",
">\n\nEven people who werent first responders and ran away died from cancers due to 9/11. There was just a frontpage reddit post showing a pic of someone just like you claim didnt exist.",
">\n\nNo one should be surprised by Republicans lying. Be surprised when they tell the truth.",
">\n\nIsn’t pathological lying a prerequisite for maga politicians. It’s like the X-games for falsehoods.",
">\n\nNot necessarily a prerequisite. They just have zero problem with those of their party who lie for 1 of 2 reasons:\n1) They see the R next to the name and think it would be worse to have a Democrat in that position. It doesn't matter if the R was a murderer, child molester, or a rapist. Their religious doctrine tells them that person has been forgiven by skydaddy so past, future, and current sins don't matter. \n2) They are mired in \"well, the other side lies too, so what's the difference?\"",
">\n\nThis is what Republicons want.",
">\n\nSociopaths have zero anxiety about lying to get what they want.",

">\n\nInterviewer: You said your mom died on 9/11. She actually died in 2016, how do you explain your comment?\nSantos: Right, she died on 9/11 in 2016. Was I not clear about that?\nInterviewer: Your mom died in April\nSantos: Yes, yes she did, god rest her soul.",

">\n\nThis dude is a fucking insane piece of shit. And, Republican. Good luck GOP, these are your people now.",
">\n\nThere was a time in America when making a mockery of the victims of 9/11 like that would earn you universal condemnation. \nCertainly in Nassau County and Queens, which lost so many.\nI never want to hear any Republican say \"9/11\" ever a-fucking-gain.",
">\n\nnEvEr FoRgEt!!!\nI truly don't mean to mock anybody affected by 9/11, but damn Republicans show an insane ability to forget everything that makes them human. I mean, when Jon Stewart has to shame them into funding healthcare for the sick and dying first responders? Shit is awful",
">\n\nYou got a good one, GQP. Jfc, what a joke that party is.",
">\n\nJesus H., has this party no shame? It seems like every frickin’ day it’s something new with this guy. And Trump. And DeSantis, and Abbot, and Cruz, and Rubio. Oh, and Jordan. And Comer. And Goemert and Banks and SC “justices” Thomas, Nunsuch, Krakenaugh and Alito and …",
">\n\nThis dude just created a whole new identity and family history. It's impressive in its own way.",
">\n\nWtf is wrong with person. This has to fall under election fraud? He pretty much manipulated the election with so many lies.",

">\n\nMan, I wonder where all these shitty Republicans are getting these ideas from that they can lie as freely as they want without any repercussions?",
">\n\nIt's worse than no repercussions, I legitimately believe that deep down the Republican base\nactively appreciates politicians who just blatantly lie like this. Just people who look you straight in the fucking face and tell you the sky is green.\nLying constantly is an asset and not a liability for Republican politicians, specifically with the right wing base. They have completely given up on objective reality, if people haven't figured that out yet.\nSantos figured it out, that's why he did what he did, and why he's an elected politician now.",
">\n\nI'd say they see pulling a fast one on an opponent as a sign of strength, yeah, but also (importantly) they don't think there are any politicians that don't lie. Even the ones they like.\nIt's basically a truism of conservatives that politicians never tell the truth. They might even like some things Dems say, but since everyone is a liar, there must be some catch. Things can never get better. No politician is really better than another. The world exists as it is, is structured as it is, and we must endure it as it is.\nUltimately I think this mindset is a result of the party itself having essentially no ethical or policy standards that are actually enforced (and to be clear, it's not that I think their ethics have to match mine; it's whether they enforce any ethical standards at all).",
">\n\nAnd this is by design. If their base believes nothing can be done to make the world better, they it follows that nothing SHOULD be done. Government doing nothing benefits the rich, who CAN do something, while the rest of us sit around with our thumbs up our asses getting robbed blind. Complacency and inaction benefit the rich.",

">\n\nIsn’t pathological lying a prerequisite for maga politicians. It’s like the X-games for falsehoods.",
">\n\nNot necessarily a prerequisite. They just have zero problem with those of their party who lie for 1 of 2 reasons:\n1) They see the R next to the name and think it would be worse to have a Democrat in that position. It doesn't matter if the R was a murderer, child molester, or a rapist.

">\n\nYeah it opened eyes but seriously most news agencies wouldn't bother to fact check his education and resume because it's publically available info and so easy to check the just made asses of themselves and didn't check. Now that this shit has happened and Santos just basically thumbs his nose at it I am sincerely hoping they check even the most basic simple aspects of candidates now. Hell Santos was born in the 80's and claims to have worked for Reagan's administration.",
">\n\nHe must’ve been laughing every time he made crazy shit up and no one called him out on it-and then he won.",
">\n\nAll the way to the bank. Dude had a 55k a year job and no assets in 2020. This year he's a millionaire who dumped millions into his campaign and no records of where the money came from. He's wanted for fraud in Brazil. And I believe the IRS is now looking into where his money came from and possible tax fraud charges. The FEC is investigating his campaign finances. Hopefully he ends up in jail or extradited to Brazil to face charges there so new York can recall and replace him. His listed residence in NY is an office as well I think not a living quarters so he may be investigated over that as well.",
">\n\nWhy do I get this feeling that he's not even a citizen? I used to be a LEO and people who lie like Santos are always very bad news; either they're Sociopathic, or they have a history of associating with criminals, or possibly both. I think he was big trouble when he was in Brazil...",

">\n\nI think our mothers met in the hospital in 1976 when I was born up to 15 minutes or more before you were.",
">\n\nYes! My mom shared a room with your mom in 2003 and then sadly passed in on 9/11",
">\n\nLike claiming on his taxes he had zero assets and only a $55k job but simultaneously he's also, \"made many millions from own business\"?",
">\n\nMan, I wonder where all these shitty Republicans are getting these ideas from that they can lie as freely as they want without any repercussions?",
">\n\nIt's worse than no repercussions, I legitimately believe that deep down the Republican base\nactively appreciates politicians who just blatantly lie like this. Just people who look you straight in the fucking face and tell you the sky is green.\nLying constantly is an asset and not a liability for Republican politicians, specifically with the right wing base. They have completely given up on objective reality, if people haven't figured that out yet.\nSantos figured it out, that's why he did what he did, and why he's an elected politician now.",
">\n\nI'd say they see pulling a fast one on an opponent as a sign of strength, yeah, but also (importantly) they don't think there are any politicians that don't lie. Even the ones they like.\nIt's basically a truism of conservatives that politicians never tell the truth. They might even like some things Dems say, but since everyone is a liar, there must be some catch. Things can never get better. No politician is really better than another. The world exists as it is, is structured as it is, and we must endure it as it is.\nUltimately I think this mindset is a result of the party itself having essentially no ethical or policy standards that are actually enforced (and to be clear, it's not that I think their ethics have to match mine; it's whether they enforce any ethical standards at all).",
">\n\nAnd this is by design. If their base believes nothing can be done to make the world better, they it follows that nothing SHOULD be done. Government doing nothing benefits the rich, who CAN do something, while the rest of us sit around with our thumbs up our asses getting robbed blind. Complacency and inaction benefit the rich.",

">\n\nIsn’t pathological lying a prerequisite for maga politicians. It’s like the X-games for falsehoods.",

It doesn't matter if the R was a murderer, child molester, or a rapist.

"How was none of this found out while he was running for office instead of after?",
">\n\nWhen he ran back in 2020, his campaign budget of 40,000 did not help.\nBut in 2022, he had millions in campaign budget and the media cannot simply ignore all thses dough and insult the potential customer with the truth.",
">\n\nI am just surprised no journalist just innocently checking his credentials didn’t stumble onto any of this. There is just so much!",
">\n\nIt was a matter of why would he lie about things so easy to check on let's not waste the 15 minutes on this. Now that he has done this I believe many news sources will fact check work/education. Hell Republicans won't shut up about Biden's claim he graduated in the top half of his class and promptly found out he was 75/83 so not top half.",
">\n\nWhy lie about something so easily fact checked? Well, now we know why.",
">\n\nYeah it opened eyes but seriously most news agencies wouldn't bother to fact check his education and resume because it's publically available info and so easy to check the just made asses of themselves and didn't check. Now that this shit has happened and Santos just basically thumbs his nose at it I am sincerely hoping they check even the most basic simple aspects of candidates now. Hell Santos was born in the 80's and claims to have worked for Reagan's administration.",
">\n\nHe must’ve been laughing every time he made crazy shit up and no one called him out on it-and then he won.",
">\n\nAll the way to the bank. Dude had a 55k a year job and no assets in 2020. This year he's a millionaire who dumped millions into his campaign and no records of where the money came from. He's wanted for fraud in Brazil. And I believe the IRS is now looking into where his money came from and possible tax fraud charges. The FEC is investigating his campaign finances. Hopefully he ends up in jail or extradited to Brazil to face charges there so new York can recall and replace him. His listed residence in NY is an office as well I think not a living quarters so he may be investigated over that as well.",
">\n\nWhy do I get this feeling that he's not even a citizen? I used to be a LEO and people who lie like Santos are always very bad news; either they're Sociopathic, or they have a history of associating with criminals, or possibly both. I think he was big trouble when he was in Brazil...",
">\n\nlooks like mccarthy will keep him around for his upcoming speakership fight....\nthis is the GOP loayalty above quality of character.... WTF?",
">\n\nOf course. They need to waste time and investigate Hunter Biden’s laptop for the next 2 years. They need to know how often he visits pornhub. It’s very crucial.",
">\n\nWho even cares that he likes porn? I'm assuming it's adults.",
">\n\nWho cares if some guy who has no political influence enjoys smoking crack and banging whores, and for some weird reason felt the need to document every time he did so",
">\n\nYeah, I'm not saying Hunter is a great dude. If anything, he needs some help. But I honestly don't really care if he smokes cracks and bangs 30 year old hookers lmao. He's not in office, it's not a political matter. A police matter, maybe, but that's none of my business.",
">\n\nI think we should all have the right to smoke crack and bang 30-year-old hookers.",

">\n\nif only he yelled, \" I grab women by the pussy, and I'm fucking a porn star while my 3rd wife is pregnant, WOOOO\" then he would have become president. (based on the strong family values)",
">\n\nWell yeah, cause “WOOOO” is presidential. It’s the “hoo” part of what Howard Dean said, it was like he was saying “who, who cares?” How can you trust a man that asks “who”??? (/s of course)",
">\n\nMan I wonder if Ric Flair has ever considered a career in politics",
">\n\n\nOn his campaign website, Santos’s team acknowledged that while “George’s mother was in her office in the South Tower on September 11, 2001, when the horrific events of that day unfolded,” she was not among the more than 2,700 people killed at the World Trade Center.\n“She survived the tragic events on September 11th, but she passed away a few years later when she lost her battle to cancer,” the campaign website reads.\n\nSo... how long until we find out she was nowhere near the WTC on 9/11?",
">\n\nAlso, since when is 15 years later a ‘few years’?",
">\n\nI was born a few years before 9/11...\nIn 1980\nEdit: absolutely loving these responses!",
">\n\nWhich was literally right before I was born a few blinks later in 1986! Wow, this new timeline made us twins!",
">\n\nI too was born in June of 1971!",
">\n\nWhat a coincidence, I was born just a six months later in January of 1998",
">\n\nHey, right next to me! November of '85!!",
">\n\nI think our mothers met in the hospital in 1976 when I was born up to 15 minutes or more before you were.",
">\n\nYes! My mom shared a room with your mom in 2003 and then sadly passed in on 9/11",
">\n\nLike claiming on his taxes he had zero assets and only a $55k job but simultaneously he's also, \"made many millions from own business\"?",
">\n\nMan, I wonder where all these shitty Republicans are getting these ideas from that they can lie as freely as they want without any repercussions?",
">\n\nIt's worse than no repercussions, I legitimately believe that deep down the Republican base\nactively appreciates politicians who just blatantly lie like this. Just people who look you straight in the fucking face and tell you the sky is green.\nLying constantly is an asset and not a liability for Republican politicians, specifically with the right wing base. They have completely given up on objective reality, if people haven't figured that out yet.\nSantos figured it out, that's why he did what he did, and why he's an elected politician now.",
">\n\nI'd say they see pulling a fast one on an opponent as a sign of strength, yeah, but also (importantly) they don't think there are any politicians that don't lie. Even the ones they like.\nIt's basically a truism of conservatives that politicians never tell the truth. They might even like some things Dems say, but since everyone is a liar, there must be some catch. Things can never get better. No politician is really better than another. The world exists as it is, is structured as it is, and we must endure it as it is.\nUltimately I think this mindset is a result of the party itself having essentially no ethical or policy standards that are actually enforced (and to be clear, it's not that I think their ethics have to match mine; it's whether they enforce any ethical standards at all).",
">\n\nAnd this is by design. If their base believes nothing can be done to make the world better, they it follows that nothing SHOULD be done. Government doing nothing benefits the rich, who CAN do something, while the rest of us sit around with our thumbs up our asses getting robbed blind. Complacency and inaction benefit the rich.",

">\n\nThe emergency responders were in the pile for weeks, some of them months. That’s why they got sick. If you were down there that day, you ran away and found a way home. We didn’t stick around and we didn’t come back.",
">\n\nEven people who werent first responders and ran away died from cancers due to 9/11. There was just a frontpage reddit post showing a pic of someone just like you claim didnt exist.",
">\n\nNo one should be surprised by Republicans lying. Be surprised when they tell the truth.",
">\n\nIsn’t pathological lying a prerequisite for maga politicians. It’s like the X-games for falsehoods.",
">\n\nNot necessarily a prerequisite. They just have zero problem with those of their party who lie for 1 of 2 reasons:\n1) They see the R next to the name and think it would be worse to have a Democrat in that position. It doesn't matter if the R was a murderer, child molester, or a rapist. Their religious doctrine tells them that person has been forgiven by skydaddy so past, future, and current sins don't matter. \n2) They are mired in \"well, the other side lies too, so what's the difference?\"",
">\n\nThis is what Republicons want.",

">\n\nInterviewer: You said your mom died on 9/11. She actually died in 2016, how do you explain your comment?\nSantos: Right, she died on 9/11 in 2016. Was I not clear about that?\nInterviewer: Your mom died in April\nSantos: Yes, yes she did, god rest her soul.",

">\n\nnEvEr FoRgEt!!!\nI truly don't mean to mock anybody affected by 9/11, but damn Republicans show an insane ability to forget everything that makes them human. I mean, when Jon Stewart has to shame them into funding healthcare for the sick and dying first responders? Shit is awful",

Russia is known for pushing extreme propaganda campaigns of complete nonsense with the aim of exposing recipients to so many blatant lies that over time they begin to question the validity of any information sources; the new ‘truth’ must be somewhere in the middle. Given the obscurity of Santos’ funding sources and the blatant nature of his lies it does make me wonder.
Edit to add: Questions also need to be asked of the media who, for some reason, only rediscovered the art of investigative journalism after the election was concluded.

">\n\n\nOn his campaign website, Santos’s team acknowledged that while “George’s mother was in her office in the South Tower on September 11, 2001, when the horrific events of that day unfolded,” she was not among the more than 2,700 people killed at the World Trade Center.\n“She survived the tragic events on September 11th, but she passed away a few years later when she lost her battle to cancer,” the campaign website reads.\n\nSo... how long until we find out she was nowhere near the WTC on 9/11?",

">\n\nHey, right next to me! November of '85!!",
">\n\nI think our mothers met in the hospital in 1976 when I was born up to 15 minutes or more before you were.",
">\n\nYes! My mom shared a room with your mom in 2003 and then sadly passed in on 9/11",
">\n\nLike claiming on his taxes he had zero assets and only a $55k job but simultaneously he's also, \"made many millions from own business\"?",
">\n\nMan, I wonder where all these shitty Republicans are getting these ideas from that they can lie as freely as they want without any repercussions?",
">\n\nIt's worse than no repercussions, I legitimately believe that deep down the Republican base\nactively appreciates politicians who just blatantly lie like this. Just people who look you straight in the fucking face and tell you the sky is green.\nLying constantly is an asset and not a liability for Republican politicians, specifically with the right wing base. They have completely given up on objective reality, if people haven't figured that out yet.\nSantos figured it out, that's why he did what he did, and why he's an elected politician now.",
">\n\nI'd say they see pulling a fast one on an opponent as a sign of strength, yeah, but also (importantly) they don't think there are any politicians that don't lie. Even the ones they like.\nIt's basically a truism of conservatives that politicians never tell the truth. They might even like some things Dems say, but since everyone is a liar, there must be some catch. Things can never get better. No politician is really better than another. The world exists as it is, is structured as it is, and we must endure it as it is.\nUltimately I think this mindset is a result of the party itself having essentially no ethical or policy standards that are actually enforced (and to be clear, it's not that I think their ethics have to match mine; it's whether they enforce any ethical standards at all).",
">\n\nAnd this is by design. If their base believes nothing can be done to make the world better, they it follows that nothing SHOULD be done. Government doing nothing benefits the rich, who CAN do something, while the rest of us sit around with our thumbs up our asses getting robbed blind. Complacency and inaction benefit the rich.",

">\n\nIsn’t pathological lying a prerequisite for maga politicians. It’s like the X-games for falsehoods.",
">\n\nNot necessarily a prerequisite. They just have zero problem with those of their party who lie for 1 of 2 reasons:\n1) They see the R next to the name and think it would be worse to have a Democrat in that position. It doesn't matter if the R was a murderer, child molester, or a rapist. Their religious doctrine tells them that person has been forgiven by skydaddy so past, future, and current sins don't matter. \n2) They are mired in \"well, the other side lies too, so what's the difference?\"",

">\n\nRussia is known for pushing extreme propaganda campaigns of complete nonsense with the aim of exposing recipients to so many blatant lies that over time they begin to question the validity of any information sources; the new ‘truth’ must be somewhere in the middle.

Hopefully he ends up in jail or extradited to Brazil to face charges there so new York can recall and replace him. His listed residence in NY is an office as well I think not a living quarters so he may be investigated over that as well.",

">\n\nIt's worse than no repercussions, I legitimately believe that deep down the Republican base\nactively appreciates politicians who just blatantly lie like this. Just people who look you straight in the fucking face and tell you the sky is green.\nLying constantly is an asset and not a liability for Republican politicians, specifically with the right wing base. They have completely given up on objective reality, if people haven't figured that out yet.\nSantos figured it out, that's why he did what he did, and why he's an elected politician now.",
">\n\nI'd say they see pulling a fast one on an opponent as a sign of strength, yeah, but also (importantly) they don't think there are any politicians that don't lie. Even the ones they like.\nIt's basically a truism of conservatives that politicians never tell the truth. They might even like some things Dems say, but since everyone is a liar, there must be some catch. Things can never get better. No politician is really better than another. The world exists as it is, is structured as it is, and we must endure it as it is.\nUltimately I think this mindset is a result of the party itself having essentially no ethical or policy standards that are actually enforced (and to be clear, it's not that I think their ethics have to match mine; it's whether they enforce any ethical standards at all).",
">\n\nAnd this is by design. If their base believes nothing can be done to make the world better, they it follows that nothing SHOULD be done.

Hopefully he ends up in jail or extradited to Brazil to face charges there so new York can recall and replace him. His listed residence in NY is an office as well I think not a living quarters so he may be investigated over that as well.",

">\n\nMan, I wonder where all these shitty Republicans are getting these ideas from that they can lie as freely as they want without any repercussions?",
">\n\nIt's worse than no repercussions, I legitimately believe that deep down the Republican base\nactively appreciates politicians who just blatantly lie like this. Just people who look you straight in the fucking face and tell you the sky is green.\nLying constantly is an asset and not a liability for Republican politicians, specifically with the right wing base. They have completely given up on objective reality, if people haven't figured that out yet.\nSantos figured it out, that's why he did what he did, and why he's an elected politician now.",
">\n\nI'd say they see pulling a fast one on an opponent as a sign of strength, yeah, but also (importantly) they don't think there are any politicians that don't lie. Even the ones they like.\nIt's basically a truism of conservatives that politicians never tell the truth. They might even like some things Dems say, but since everyone is a liar, there must be some catch. Things can never get better. No politician is really better than another. The world exists as it is, is structured as it is, and we must endure it as it is.\nUltimately I think this mindset is a result of the party itself having essentially no ethical or policy standards that are actually enforced (and to be clear, it's not that I think their ethics have to match mine; it's whether they enforce any ethical standards at all).",
">\n\nAnd this is by design. If their base believes nothing can be done to make the world better, they it follows that nothing SHOULD be done. Government doing nothing benefits the rich, who CAN do something, while the rest of us sit around with our thumbs up our asses getting robbed blind. Complacency and inaction benefit the rich.",

">\n\nIsn’t pathological lying a prerequisite for maga politicians. It’s like the X-games for falsehoods.",
">\n\nNot necessarily a prerequisite. They just have zero problem with those of their party who lie for 1 of 2 reasons:\n1) They see the R next to the name and think it would be worse to have a Democrat in that position. It doesn't matter if the R was a murderer, child molester, or a rapist.

">\n\nAll the way to the bank. Dude had a 55k a year job and no assets in 2020. This year he's a millionaire who dumped millions into his campaign and no records of where the money came from.

Hopefully he ends up in jail or extradited to Brazil to face charges there so new York can recall and replace him. His listed residence in NY is an office as well I think not a living quarters so he may be investigated over that as well.",
">\n\nWhy do I get this feeling that he's not even a citizen? I used to be a LEO and people who lie like Santos are always very bad news; either they're Sociopathic, or they have a history of associating with criminals, or possibly both. I think he was big trouble when he was in Brazil...",

">\n\nMan, I wonder where all these shitty Republicans are getting these ideas from that they can lie as freely as they want without any repercussions?",
">\n\nIt's worse than no repercussions, I legitimately believe that deep down the Republican base\nactively appreciates politicians who just blatantly lie like this. Just people who look you straight in the fucking face and tell you the sky is green.\nLying constantly is an asset and not a liability for Republican politicians, specifically with the right wing base. They have completely given up on objective reality, if people haven't figured that out yet.\nSantos figured it out, that's why he did what he did, and why he's an elected politician now.",
">\n\nI'd say they see pulling a fast one on an opponent as a sign of strength, yeah, but also (importantly) they don't think there are any politicians that don't lie. Even the ones they like.\nIt's basically a truism of conservatives that politicians never tell the truth. They might even like some things Dems say, but since everyone is a liar, there must be some catch. Things can never get better. No politician is really better than another. The world exists as it is, is structured as it is, and we must endure it as it is.\nUltimately I think this mindset is a result of the party itself having essentially no ethical or policy standards that are actually enforced (and to be clear, it's not that I think their ethics have to match mine; it's whether they enforce any ethical standards at all).",
">\n\nAnd this is by design. If their base believes nothing can be done to make the world better, they it follows that nothing SHOULD be done. Government doing nothing benefits the rich, who CAN do something, while the rest of us sit around with our thumbs up our asses getting robbed blind. Complacency and inaction benefit the rich.",

">\n\nIsn’t pathological lying a prerequisite for maga politicians. It’s like the X-games for falsehoods.",
">\n\nNot necessarily a prerequisite. They just have zero problem with those of their party who lie for 1 of 2 reasons:\n1) They see the R next to the name and think it would be worse to have a Democrat in that position. It doesn't matter if the R was a murderer, child molester, or a rapist.

">\n\nMan, I wonder where all these shitty Republicans are getting these ideas from that they can lie as freely as they want without any repercussions?",
">\n\nIt's worse than no repercussions, I legitimately believe that deep down the Republican base\nactively appreciates politicians who just blatantly lie like this. Just people who look you straight in the fucking face and tell you the sky is green.\nLying constantly is an asset and not a liability for Republican politicians, specifically with the right wing base. They have completely given up on objective reality, if people haven't figured that out yet.\nSantos figured it out, that's why he did what he did, and why he's an elected politician now.",
">\n\nI'd say they see pulling a fast one on an opponent as a sign of strength, yeah, but also (importantly) they don't think there are any politicians that don't lie. Even the ones they like.\nIt's basically a truism of conservatives that politicians never tell the truth. They might even like some things Dems say, but since everyone is a liar, there must be some catch. Things can never get better. No politician is really better than another. The world exists as it is, is structured as it is, and we must endure it as it is.\nUltimately I think this mindset is a result of the party itself having essentially no ethical or policy standards that are actually enforced (and to be clear, it's not that I think their ethics have to match mine; it's whether they enforce any ethical standards at all).",
">\n\nAnd this is by design. If their base believes nothing can be done to make the world better, they it follows that nothing SHOULD be done. Government doing nothing benefits the rich, who CAN do something, while the rest of us sit around with our thumbs up our asses getting robbed blind. Complacency and inaction benefit the rich.",

It doesn't matter if the R was a murderer, child molester, or a rapist.

">\n\nWhy lie about something so easily fact checked? Well, now we know why.",
">\n\nYeah it opened eyes but seriously most news agencies wouldn't bother to fact check his education and resume because it's publically available info and so easy to check the just made asses of themselves and didn't check. Now that this shit has happened and Santos just basically thumbs his nose at it I am sincerely hoping they check even the most basic simple aspects of candidates now.

">\n\nHe must’ve been laughing every time he made crazy shit up and no one called him out on it-and then he won.",
">\n\nAll the way to the bank. Dude had a 55k a year job and no assets in 2020. This year he's a millionaire who dumped millions into his campaign and no records of where the money came from. He's wanted for fraud in Brazil. And I believe the IRS is now looking into where his money came from and possible tax fraud charges. The FEC is investigating his campaign finances. Hopefully he ends up in jail or extradited to Brazil to face charges there so new York can recall and replace him. His listed residence in NY is an office as well I think not a living quarters so he may be investigated over that as well.",
">\n\nWhy do I get this feeling that he's not even a citizen? I used to be a LEO and people who lie like Santos are always very bad news; either they're Sociopathic, or they have a history of associating with criminals, or possibly both. I think he was big trouble when he was in Brazil...",

">\n\nMan, I wonder where all these shitty Republicans are getting these ideas from that they can lie as freely as they want without any repercussions?",
">\n\nIt's worse than no repercussions, I legitimately believe that deep down the Republican base\nactively appreciates politicians who just blatantly lie like this. Just people who look you straight in the fucking face and tell you the sky is green.\nLying constantly is an asset and not a liability for Republican politicians, specifically with the right wing base. They have completely given up on objective reality, if people haven't figured that out yet.\nSantos figured it out, that's why he did what he did, and why he's an elected politician now.",
">\n\nI'd say they see pulling a fast one on an opponent as a sign of strength, yeah, but also (importantly) they don't think there are any politicians that don't lie. Even the ones they like.\nIt's basically a truism of conservatives that politicians never tell the truth. They might even like some things Dems say, but since everyone is a liar, there must be some catch. Things can never get better. No politician is really better than another. The world exists as it is, is structured as it is, and we must endure it as it is.\nUltimately I think this mindset is a result of the party itself having essentially no ethical or policy standards that are actually enforced (and to be clear, it's not that I think their ethics have to match mine; it's whether they enforce any ethical standards at all).",
">\n\nAnd this is by design. If their base believes nothing can be done to make the world better, they it follows that nothing SHOULD be done. Government doing nothing benefits the rich, who CAN do something, while the rest of us sit around with our thumbs up our asses getting robbed blind. Complacency and inaction benefit the rich.",

As a 9/11 victim family member (my sister who worked in the south tower on the 82nd floor), I’ll say that this guy is a douche if he made it up.
But to anyone dismissing deaths caused by 9/11 after the actual terrorist attack, it definitely sucks for anyone who worked search & recovery at ground zero, especially those without proper protective gear…because there’s a good chance they’re dead due to respiratory disease of some sort, or cancer.
I’m actually in the early stages of a documentary on the effects 9/11 had on people in lower Manhattan AFTER that day.

"How was none of this found out while he was running for office instead of after?",
">\n\nWhen he ran back in 2020, his campaign budget of 40,000 did not help.\nBut in 2022, he had millions in campaign budget and the media cannot simply ignore all thses dough and insult the potential customer with the truth.",
">\n\nI am just surprised no journalist just innocently checking his credentials didn’t stumble onto any of this. There is just so much!",
">\n\nIt was a matter of why would he lie about things so easy to check on let's not waste the 15 minutes on this. Now that he has done this I believe many news sources will fact check work/education. Hell Republicans won't shut up about Biden's claim he graduated in the top half of his class and promptly found out he was 75/83 so not top half.",
">\n\nWhy lie about something so easily fact checked? Well, now we know why.",
">\n\nYeah it opened eyes but seriously most news agencies wouldn't bother to fact check his education and resume because it's publically available info and so easy to check the just made asses of themselves and didn't check. Now that this shit has happened and Santos just basically thumbs his nose at it I am sincerely hoping they check even the most basic simple aspects of candidates now. Hell Santos was born in the 80's and claims to have worked for Reagan's administration.",
">\n\nHe must’ve been laughing every time he made crazy shit up and no one called him out on it-and then he won.",
">\n\nAll the way to the bank. Dude had a 55k a year job and no assets in 2020. This year he's a millionaire who dumped millions into his campaign and no records of where the money came from. He's wanted for fraud in Brazil. And I believe the IRS is now looking into where his money came from and possible tax fraud charges. The FEC is investigating his campaign finances. Hopefully he ends up in jail or extradited to Brazil to face charges there so new York can recall and replace him. His listed residence in NY is an office as well I think not a living quarters so he may be investigated over that as well.",
">\n\nWhy do I get this feeling that he's not even a citizen? I used to be a LEO and people who lie like Santos are always very bad news; either they're Sociopathic, or they have a history of associating with criminals, or possibly both. I think he was big trouble when he was in Brazil...",
">\n\nlooks like mccarthy will keep him around for his upcoming speakership fight....\nthis is the GOP loayalty above quality of character.... WTF?",
">\n\nOf course. They need to waste time and investigate Hunter Biden’s laptop for the next 2 years. They need to know how often he visits pornhub. It’s very crucial.",
">\n\nWho even cares that he likes porn? I'm assuming it's adults.",
">\n\nWho cares if some guy who has no political influence enjoys smoking crack and banging whores, and for some weird reason felt the need to document every time he did so",
">\n\nYeah, I'm not saying Hunter is a great dude. If anything, he needs some help. But I honestly don't really care if he smokes cracks and bangs 30 year old hookers lmao. He's not in office, it's not a political matter. A police matter, maybe, but that's none of my business.",

">\n\nMan I wonder if Ric Flair has ever considered a career in politics",
">\n\n\nOn his campaign website, Santos’s team acknowledged that while “George’s mother was in her office in the South Tower on September 11, 2001, when the horrific events of that day unfolded,” she was not among the more than 2,700 people killed at the World Trade Center.\n“She survived the tragic events on September 11th, but she passed away a few years later when she lost her battle to cancer,” the campaign website reads.\n\nSo... how long until we find out she was nowhere near the WTC on 9/11?",
">\n\nAlso, since when is 15 years later a ‘few years’?",
">\n\nI was born a few years before 9/11...\nIn 1980\nEdit: absolutely loving these responses!",
">\n\nWhich was literally right before I was born a few blinks later in 1986! Wow, this new timeline made us twins!",
">\n\nI too was born in June of 1971!",
">\n\nWhat a coincidence, I was born just a six months later in January of 1998",
">\n\nHey, right next to me! November of '85!!",
">\n\nI think our mothers met in the hospital in 1976 when I was born up to 15 minutes or more before you were.",
">\n\nYes! My mom shared a room with your mom in 2003 and then sadly passed in on 9/11",
">\n\nLike claiming on his taxes he had zero assets and only a $55k job but simultaneously he's also, \"made many millions from own business\"?",
">\n\nMan, I wonder where all these shitty Republicans are getting these ideas from that they can lie as freely as they want without any repercussions?",
">\n\nIt's worse than no repercussions, I legitimately believe that deep down the Republican base\nactively appreciates politicians who just blatantly lie like this. Just people who look you straight in the fucking face and tell you the sky is green.\nLying constantly is an asset and not a liability for Republican politicians, specifically with the right wing base. They have completely given up on objective reality, if people haven't figured that out yet.\nSantos figured it out, that's why he did what he did, and why he's an elected politician now.",
">\n\nI'd say they see pulling a fast one on an opponent as a sign of strength, yeah, but also (importantly) they don't think there are any politicians that don't lie. Even the ones they like.\nIt's basically a truism of conservatives that politicians never tell the truth. They might even like some things Dems say, but since everyone is a liar, there must be some catch. Things can never get better. No politician is really better than another. The world exists as it is, is structured as it is, and we must endure it as it is.\nUltimately I think this mindset is a result of the party itself having essentially no ethical or policy standards that are actually enforced (and to be clear, it's not that I think their ethics have to match mine; it's whether they enforce any ethical standards at all).",
">\n\nAnd this is by design. If their base believes nothing can be done to make the world better, they it follows that nothing SHOULD be done. Government doing nothing benefits the rich, who CAN do something, while the rest of us sit around with our thumbs up our asses getting robbed blind. Complacency and inaction benefit the rich.",

">\n\nThe emergency responders were in the pile for weeks, some of them months. That’s why they got sick. If you were down there that day, you ran away and found a way home. We didn’t stick around and we didn’t come back.",

">\n\nNo one should be surprised by Republicans lying. Be surprised when they tell the truth.",
">\n\nIsn’t pathological lying a prerequisite for maga politicians. It’s like the X-games for falsehoods.",
">\n\nNot necessarily a prerequisite. They just have zero problem with those of their party who lie for 1 of 2 reasons:\n1) They see the R next to the name and think it would be worse to have a Democrat in that position. It doesn't matter if the R was a murderer, child molester, or a rapist. Their religious doctrine tells them that person has been forgiven by skydaddy so past, future, and current sins don't matter. \n2) They are mired in \"well, the other side lies too, so what's the difference?\"",

">\n\nInterviewer: You said your mom died on 9/11. She actually died in 2016, how do you explain your comment?\nSantos: Right, she died on 9/11 in 2016. Was I not clear about that?\nInterviewer: Your mom died in April\nSantos: Yes, yes she did, god rest her soul.",

">\n\nnEvEr FoRgEt!!!\nI truly don't mean to mock anybody affected by 9/11, but damn Republicans show an insane ability to forget everything that makes them human. I mean, when Jon Stewart has to shame them into funding healthcare for the sick and dying first responders? Shit is awful",

">\n\nI am just surprised no journalist just innocently checking his credentials didn’t stumble onto any of this. There is just so much!",
">\n\nIt was a matter of why would he lie about things so easy to check on let's not waste the 15 minutes on this. Now that he has done this I believe many news sources will fact check work/education. Hell Republicans won't shut up about Biden's claim he graduated in the top half of his class and promptly found out he was 75/83 so not top half.",
">\n\nWhy lie about something so easily fact checked? Well, now we know why.",
">\n\nYeah it opened eyes but seriously most news agencies wouldn't bother to fact check his education and resume because it's publically available info and so easy to check the just made asses of themselves and didn't check. Now that this shit has happened and Santos just basically thumbs his nose at it I am sincerely hoping they check even the most basic simple aspects of candidates now. Hell Santos was born in the 80's and claims to have worked for Reagan's administration.",
">\n\nHe must’ve been laughing every time he made crazy shit up and no one called him out on it-and then he won.",
">\n\nAll the way to the bank. Dude had a 55k a year job and no assets in 2020. This year he's a millionaire who dumped millions into his campaign and no records of where the money came from. He's wanted for fraud in Brazil. And I believe the IRS is now looking into where his money came from and possible tax fraud charges. The FEC is investigating his campaign finances. Hopefully he ends up in jail or extradited to Brazil to face charges there so new York can recall and replace him. His listed residence in NY is an office as well I think not a living quarters so he may be investigated over that as well.",
">\n\nWhy do I get this feeling that he's not even a citizen? I used to be a LEO and people who lie like Santos are always very bad news; either they're Sociopathic, or they have a history of associating with criminals, or possibly both. I think he was big trouble when he was in Brazil...",

">\n\n\nOn his campaign website, Santos’s team acknowledged that while “George’s mother was in her office in the South Tower on September 11, 2001, when the horrific events of that day unfolded,” she was not among the more than 2,700 people killed at the World Trade Center.\n“She survived the tragic events on September 11th, but she passed away a few years later when she lost her battle to cancer,” the campaign website reads.\n\nSo... how long until we find out she was nowhere near the WTC on 9/11?",

">\n\nHey, right next to me! November of '85!!",
">\n\nI think our mothers met in the hospital in 1976 when I was born up to 15 minutes or more before you were.",
">\n\nYes! My mom shared a room with your mom in 2003 and then sadly passed in on 9/11",
">\n\nLike claiming on his taxes he had zero assets and only a $55k job but simultaneously he's also, \"made many millions from own business\"?",
">\n\nMan, I wonder where all these shitty Republicans are getting these ideas from that they can lie as freely as they want without any repercussions?",
">\n\nIt's worse than no repercussions, I legitimately believe that deep down the Republican base\nactively appreciates politicians who just blatantly lie like this. Just people who look you straight in the fucking face and tell you the sky is green.\nLying constantly is an asset and not a liability for Republican politicians, specifically with the right wing base. They have completely given up on objective reality, if people haven't figured that out yet.\nSantos figured it out, that's why he did what he did, and why he's an elected politician now.",
">\n\nI'd say they see pulling a fast one on an opponent as a sign of strength, yeah, but also (importantly) they don't think there are any politicians that don't lie. Even the ones they like.\nIt's basically a truism of conservatives that politicians never tell the truth. They might even like some things Dems say, but since everyone is a liar, there must be some catch. Things can never get better. No politician is really better than another. The world exists as it is, is structured as it is, and we must endure it as it is.\nUltimately I think this mindset is a result of the party itself having essentially no ethical or policy standards that are actually enforced (and to be clear, it's not that I think their ethics have to match mine; it's whether they enforce any ethical standards at all).",
">\n\nAnd this is by design. If their base believes nothing can be done to make the world better, they it follows that nothing SHOULD be done. Government doing nothing benefits the rich, who CAN do something, while the rest of us sit around with our thumbs up our asses getting robbed blind. Complacency and inaction benefit the rich.",

">\n\nIsn’t pathological lying a prerequisite for maga politicians. It’s like the X-games for falsehoods.",
">\n\nNot necessarily a prerequisite. They just have zero problem with those of their party who lie for 1 of 2 reasons:\n1) They see the R next to the name and think it would be worse to have a Democrat in that position. It doesn't matter if the R was a murderer, child molester, or a rapist.

">\n\nMan, I wonder where all these shitty Republicans are getting these ideas from that they can lie as freely as they want without any repercussions?",
">\n\nIt's worse than no repercussions, I legitimately believe that deep down the Republican base\nactively appreciates politicians who just blatantly lie like this. Just people who look you straight in the fucking face and tell you the sky is green.\nLying constantly is an asset and not a liability for Republican politicians, specifically with the right wing base. They have completely given up on objective reality, if people haven't figured that out yet.\nSantos figured it out, that's why he did what he did, and why he's an elected politician now.",
">\n\nI'd say they see pulling a fast one on an opponent as a sign of strength, yeah, but also (importantly) they don't think there are any politicians that don't lie. Even the ones they like.\nIt's basically a truism of conservatives that politicians never tell the truth. They might even like some things Dems say, but since everyone is a liar, there must be some catch. Things can never get better. No politician is really better than another. The world exists as it is, is structured as it is, and we must endure it as it is.\nUltimately I think this mindset is a result of the party itself having essentially no ethical or policy standards that are actually enforced (and to be clear, it's not that I think their ethics have to match mine; it's whether they enforce any ethical standards at all).",
">\n\nAnd this is by design. If their base believes nothing can be done to make the world better, they it follows that nothing SHOULD be done. Government doing nothing benefits the rich, who CAN do something, while the rest of us sit around with our thumbs up our asses getting robbed blind. Complacency and inaction benefit the rich.",

It doesn't matter if the R was a murderer, child molester, or a rapist.

">\n\nnEvEr FoRgEt!!!\nI truly don't mean to mock anybody affected by 9/11, but damn Republicans show an insane ability to forget everything that makes them human. I mean, when Jon Stewart has to shame them into funding healthcare for the sick and dying first responders? Shit is awful",

">\n\n\nOn his campaign website, Santos’s team acknowledged that while “George’s mother was in her office in the South Tower on September 11, 2001, when the horrific events of that day unfolded,” she was not among the more than 2,700 people killed at the World Trade Center.\n“She survived the tragic events on September 11th, but she passed away a few years later when she lost her battle to cancer,” the campaign website reads.\n\nSo... how long until we find out she was nowhere near the WTC on 9/11?",

They have completely given up on objective reality, if people haven't figured that out yet.\nSantos figured it out, that's why he did what he did, and why he's an elected politician now.",
">\n\nI'd say they see pulling a fast one on an opponent as a sign of strength, yeah, but also (importantly) they don't think there are any politicians that don't lie. Even the ones they like.\nIt's basically a truism of conservatives that politicians never tell the truth. They might even like some things Dems say, but since everyone is a liar, there must be some catch. Things can never get better. No politician is really better than another. The world exists as it is, is structured as it is, and we must endure it as it is.\nUltimately I think this mindset is a result of the party itself having essentially no ethical or policy standards that are actually enforced (and to be clear, it's not that I think their ethics have to match mine; it's whether they enforce any ethical standards at all).",
">\n\nAnd this is by design. If their base believes nothing can be done to make the world better, they it follows that nothing SHOULD be done. Government doing nothing benefits the rich, who CAN do something, while the rest of us sit around with our thumbs up our asses getting robbed blind. Complacency and inaction benefit the rich.",

Hopefully he ends up in jail or extradited to Brazil to face charges there so new York can recall and replace him. His listed residence in NY is an office as well I think not a living quarters so he may be investigated over that as well.",

">\n\nIt's worse than no repercussions, I legitimately believe that deep down the Republican base\nactively appreciates politicians who just blatantly lie like this. Just people who look you straight in the fucking face and tell you the sky is green.\nLying constantly is an asset and not a liability for Republican politicians, specifically with the right wing base. They have completely given up on objective reality, if people haven't figured that out yet.\nSantos figured it out, that's why he did what he did, and why he's an elected politician now.",
">\n\nI'd say they see pulling a fast one on an opponent as a sign of strength, yeah, but also (importantly) they don't think there are any politicians that don't lie. Even the ones they like.\nIt's basically a truism of conservatives that politicians never tell the truth. They might even like some things Dems say, but since everyone is a liar, there must be some catch. Things can never get better. No politician is really better than another. The world exists as it is, is structured as it is, and we must endure it as it is.\nUltimately I think this mindset is a result of the party itself having essentially no ethical or policy standards that are actually enforced (and to be clear, it's not that I think their ethics have to match mine; it's whether they enforce any ethical standards at all).",
">\n\nAnd this is by design. If their base believes nothing can be done to make the world better, they it follows that nothing SHOULD be done.

">\n\nAll the way to the bank. Dude had a 55k a year job and no assets in 2020. This year he's a millionaire who dumped millions into his campaign and no records of where the money came from. He's wanted for fraud in Brazil. And I believe the IRS is now looking into where his money came from and possible tax fraud charges. The FEC is investigating his campaign finances. Hopefully he ends up in jail or extradited to Brazil to face charges there so new York can recall and replace him. His listed residence in NY is an office as well I think not a living quarters so he may be investigated over that as well.",
">\n\nWhy do I get this feeling that he's not even a citizen? I used to be a LEO and people who lie like Santos are always very bad news; either they're Sociopathic, or they have a history of associating with criminals, or possibly both. I think he was big trouble when he was in Brazil...",

">\n\nIt's worse than no repercussions, I legitimately believe that deep down the Republican base\nactively appreciates politicians who just blatantly lie like this. Just people who look you straight in the fucking face and tell you the sky is green.\nLying constantly is an asset and not a liability for Republican politicians, specifically with the right wing base. They have completely given up on objective reality, if people haven't figured that out yet.\nSantos figured it out, that's why he did what he did, and why he's an elected politician now.",
">\n\nI'd say they see pulling a fast one on an opponent as a sign of strength, yeah, but also (importantly) they don't think there are any politicians that don't lie. Even the ones they like.\nIt's basically a truism of conservatives that politicians never tell the truth. They might even like some things Dems say, but since everyone is a liar, there must be some catch. Things can never get better. No politician is really better than another. The world exists as it is, is structured as it is, and we must endure it as it is.\nUltimately I think this mindset is a result of the party itself having essentially no ethical or policy standards that are actually enforced (and to be clear, it's not that I think their ethics have to match mine; it's whether they enforce any ethical standards at all).",
">\n\nAnd this is by design. If their base believes nothing can be done to make the world better, they it follows that nothing SHOULD be done. Government doing nothing benefits the rich, who CAN do something, while the rest of us sit around with our thumbs up our asses getting robbed blind. Complacency and inaction benefit the rich.",

">\n\nAll the way to the bank. Dude had a 55k a year job and no assets in 2020. This year he's a millionaire who dumped millions into his campaign and no records of where the money came from. He's wanted for fraud in Brazil. And I believe the IRS is now looking into where his money came from and possible tax fraud charges. The FEC is investigating his campaign finances. Hopefully he ends up in jail or extradited to Brazil to face charges there so new York can recall and replace him. His listed residence in NY is an office as well I think not a living quarters so he may be investigated over that as well.",
">\n\nWhy do I get this feeling that he's not even a citizen? I used to be a LEO and people who lie like Santos are always very bad news; either they're Sociopathic, or they have a history of associating with criminals, or possibly both. I think he was big trouble when he was in Brazil...",

">\n\nMan, I wonder where all these shitty Republicans are getting these ideas from that they can lie as freely as they want without any repercussions?",
">\n\nIt's worse than no repercussions, I legitimately believe that deep down the Republican base\nactively appreciates politicians who just blatantly lie like this. Just people who look you straight in the fucking face and tell you the sky is green.\nLying constantly is an asset and not a liability for Republican politicians, specifically with the right wing base. They have completely given up on objective reality, if people haven't figured that out yet.\nSantos figured it out, that's why he did what he did, and why he's an elected politician now.",
">\n\nI'd say they see pulling a fast one on an opponent as a sign of strength, yeah, but also (importantly) they don't think there are any politicians that don't lie. Even the ones they like.\nIt's basically a truism of conservatives that politicians never tell the truth. They might even like some things Dems say, but since everyone is a liar, there must be some catch. Things can never get better. No politician is really better than another. The world exists as it is, is structured as it is, and we must endure it as it is.\nUltimately I think this mindset is a result of the party itself having essentially no ethical or policy standards that are actually enforced (and to be clear, it's not that I think their ethics have to match mine; it's whether they enforce any ethical standards at all).",
">\n\nAnd this is by design. If their base believes nothing can be done to make the world better, they it follows that nothing SHOULD be done. Government doing nothing benefits the rich, who CAN do something, while the rest of us sit around with our thumbs up our asses getting robbed blind. Complacency and inaction benefit the rich.",

">\n\nIsn’t pathological lying a prerequisite for maga politicians. It’s like the X-games for falsehoods.",
">\n\nNot necessarily a prerequisite. They just have zero problem with those of their party who lie for 1 of 2 reasons:\n1) They see the R next to the name and think it would be worse to have a Democrat in that position. It doesn't matter if the R was a murderer, child molester, or a rapist.

">\n\nYeah it opened eyes but seriously most news agencies wouldn't bother to fact check his education and resume because it's publically available info and so easy to check the just made asses of themselves and didn't check. Now that this shit has happened and Santos just basically thumbs his nose at it I am sincerely hoping they check even the most basic simple aspects of candidates now.

">\n\nAll the way to the bank. Dude had a 55k a year job and no assets in 2020. This year he's a millionaire who dumped millions into his campaign and no records of where the money came from. He's wanted for fraud in Brazil. And I believe the IRS is now looking into where his money came from and possible tax fraud charges. The FEC is investigating his campaign finances. Hopefully he ends up in jail or extradited to Brazil to face charges there so new York can recall and replace him. His listed residence in NY is an office as well I think not a living quarters so he may be investigated over that as well.",
">\n\nWhy do I get this feeling that he's not even a citizen? I used to be a LEO and people who lie like Santos are always very bad news; either they're Sociopathic, or they have a history of associating with criminals, or possibly both. I think he was big trouble when he was in Brazil...",

">\n\nMan, I wonder where all these shitty Republicans are getting these ideas from that they can lie as freely as they want without any repercussions?",
">\n\nIt's worse than no repercussions, I legitimately believe that deep down the Republican base\nactively appreciates politicians who just blatantly lie like this. Just people who look you straight in the fucking face and tell you the sky is green.\nLying constantly is an asset and not a liability for Republican politicians, specifically with the right wing base. They have completely given up on objective reality, if people haven't figured that out yet.\nSantos figured it out, that's why he did what he did, and why he's an elected politician now.",
">\n\nI'd say they see pulling a fast one on an opponent as a sign of strength, yeah, but also (importantly) they don't think there are any politicians that don't lie. Even the ones they like.\nIt's basically a truism of conservatives that politicians never tell the truth. They might even like some things Dems say, but since everyone is a liar, there must be some catch. Things can never get better. No politician is really better than another. The world exists as it is, is structured as it is, and we must endure it as it is.\nUltimately I think this mindset is a result of the party itself having essentially no ethical or policy standards that are actually enforced (and to be clear, it's not that I think their ethics have to match mine; it's whether they enforce any ethical standards at all).",
">\n\nAnd this is by design. If their base believes nothing can be done to make the world better, they it follows that nothing SHOULD be done. Government doing nothing benefits the rich, who CAN do something, while the rest of us sit around with our thumbs up our asses getting robbed blind. Complacency and inaction benefit the rich.",

">\n\nIsn’t pathological lying a prerequisite for maga politicians. It’s like the X-games for falsehoods.",
">\n\nNot necessarily a prerequisite. They just have zero problem with those of their party who lie for 1 of 2 reasons:\n1) They see the R next to the name and think it would be worse to have a Democrat in that position. It doesn't matter if the R was a murderer, child molester, or a rapist.

">\n\nIt was a matter of why would he lie about things so easy to check on let's not waste the 15 minutes on this. Now that he has done this I believe many news sources will fact check work/education. Hell Republicans won't shut up about Biden's claim he graduated in the top half of his class and promptly found out he was 75/83 so not top half.",
">\n\nWhy lie about something so easily fact checked? Well, now we know why.",
">\n\nYeah it opened eyes but seriously most news agencies wouldn't bother to fact check his education and resume because it's publically available info and so easy to check the just made asses of themselves and didn't check. Now that this shit has happened and Santos just basically thumbs his nose at it I am sincerely hoping they check even the most basic simple aspects of candidates now. Hell Santos was born in the 80's and claims to have worked for Reagan's administration.",

">\n\nAll the way to the bank. Dude had a 55k a year job and no assets in 2020. This year he's a millionaire who dumped millions into his campaign and no records of where the money came from. He's wanted for fraud in Brazil. And I believe the IRS is now looking into where his money came from and possible tax fraud charges. The FEC is investigating his campaign finances. Hopefully he ends up in jail or extradited to Brazil to face charges there so new York can recall and replace him. His listed residence in NY is an office as well I think not a living quarters so he may be investigated over that as well.",
">\n\nWhy do I get this feeling that he's not even a citizen? I used to be a LEO and people who lie like Santos are always very bad news; either they're Sociopathic, or they have a history of associating with criminals, or possibly both. I think he was big trouble when he was in Brazil...",

">\n\nMan, I wonder where all these shitty Republicans are getting these ideas from that they can lie as freely as they want without any repercussions?",
">\n\nIt's worse than no repercussions, I legitimately believe that deep down the Republican base\nactively appreciates politicians who just blatantly lie like this. Just people who look you straight in the fucking face and tell you the sky is green.\nLying constantly is an asset and not a liability for Republican politicians, specifically with the right wing base. They have completely given up on objective reality, if people haven't figured that out yet.\nSantos figured it out, that's why he did what he did, and why he's an elected politician now.",
">\n\nI'd say they see pulling a fast one on an opponent as a sign of strength, yeah, but also (importantly) they don't think there are any politicians that don't lie. Even the ones they like.\nIt's basically a truism of conservatives that politicians never tell the truth. They might even like some things Dems say, but since everyone is a liar, there must be some catch. Things can never get better. No politician is really better than another. The world exists as it is, is structured as it is, and we must endure it as it is.\nUltimately I think this mindset is a result of the party itself having essentially no ethical or policy standards that are actually enforced (and to be clear, it's not that I think their ethics have to match mine; it's whether they enforce any ethical standards at all).",
">\n\nAnd this is by design. If their base believes nothing can be done to make the world better, they it follows that nothing SHOULD be done. Government doing nothing benefits the rich, who CAN do something, while the rest of us sit around with our thumbs up our asses getting robbed blind. Complacency and inaction benefit the rich.",

">\n\nIsn’t pathological lying a prerequisite for maga politicians. It’s like the X-games for falsehoods.",
">\n\nNot necessarily a prerequisite. They just have zero problem with those of their party who lie for 1 of 2 reasons:\n1) They see the R next to the name and think it would be worse to have a Democrat in that position. It doesn't matter if the R was a murderer, child molester, or a rapist.

“9/11 claimed my mothers life … so I’m blocking so I don’t ever have to read this again,” Santos wrote.
In December 2021, Santos tweeted to reflect on the fifth anniversary of his mother’s death in 2016.
Here's a possible explanation for that discrepancy, if I can call it that:
It possible that his mom died in 2001, then reincarnated and died again in 2016. Farfetched, I must admit, given that his mom was Catholic or jew-ish, but any thing is possible.

">\n\nIt's worse than no repercussions, I legitimately believe that deep down the Republican base\nactively appreciates politicians who just blatantly lie like this. Just people who look you straight in the fucking face and tell you the sky is green.\nLying constantly is an asset and not a liability for Republican politicians, specifically with the right wing base. They have completely given up on objective reality, if people haven't figured that out yet.\nSantos figured it out, that's why he did what he did, and why he's an elected politician now.",
">\n\nI'd say they see pulling a fast one on an opponent as a sign of strength, yeah, but also (importantly) they don't think there are any politicians that don't lie. Even the ones they like.\nIt's basically a truism of conservatives that politicians never tell the truth. They might even like some things Dems say, but since everyone is a liar, there must be some catch. Things can never get better. No politician is really better than another. The world exists as it is, is structured as it is, and we must endure it as it is.\nUltimately I think this mindset is a result of the party itself having essentially no ethical or policy standards that are actually enforced (and to be clear, it's not that I think their ethics have to match mine; it's whether they enforce any ethical standards at all).",
">\n\nAnd this is by design. If their base believes nothing can be done to make the world better, they it follows that nothing SHOULD be done.

">\n\n\nOn his campaign website, Santos’s team acknowledged that while “George’s mother was in her office in the South Tower on September 11, 2001, when the horrific events of that day unfolded,” she was not among the more than 2,700 people killed at the World Trade Center.\n“She survived the tragic events on September 11th, but she passed away a few years later when she lost her battle to cancer,” the campaign website reads.\n\nSo... how long until we find out she was nowhere near the WTC on 9/11?",

">\n\nIt's worse than no repercussions, I legitimately believe that deep down the Republican base\nactively appreciates politicians who just blatantly lie like this. Just people who look you straight in the fucking face and tell you the sky is green.\nLying constantly is an asset and not a liability for Republican politicians, specifically with the right wing base. They have completely given up on objective reality, if people haven't figured that out yet.\nSantos figured it out, that's why he did what he did, and why he's an elected politician now.",
">\n\nI'd say they see pulling a fast one on an opponent as a sign of strength, yeah, but also (importantly) they don't think there are any politicians that don't lie. Even the ones they like.\nIt's basically a truism of conservatives that politicians never tell the truth. They might even like some things Dems say, but since everyone is a liar, there must be some catch. Things can never get better. No politician is really better than another. The world exists as it is, is structured as it is, and we must endure it as it is.\nUltimately I think this mindset is a result of the party itself having essentially no ethical or policy standards that are actually enforced (and to be clear, it's not that I think their ethics have to match mine; it's whether they enforce any ethical standards at all).",
">\n\nAnd this is by design. If their base believes nothing can be done to make the world better, they it follows that nothing SHOULD be done. Government doing nothing benefits the rich, who CAN do something, while the rest of us sit around with our thumbs up our asses getting robbed blind. Complacency and inaction benefit the rich.",

I get why folks are upset, but given some recent legislation, I think more attention on the health affects from 9/11, not less, is a good idea.
Was he trying to play this as a political patriotism ploy thing? Almost definitely. But can we still turn this ship around and make it an argument for Universal Healthcare? I think so. And it wouldn't suck to have an R receptive to that message.

">\n\nI'd say they see pulling a fast one on an opponent as a sign of strength, yeah, but also (importantly) they don't think there are any politicians that don't lie. Even the ones they like.\nIt's basically a truism of conservatives that politicians never tell the truth. They might even like some things Dems say, but since everyone is a liar, there must be some catch. Things can never get better. No politician is really better than another. The world exists as it is, is structured as it is, and we must endure it as it is.\nUltimately I think this mindset is a result of the party itself having essentially no ethical or policy standards that are actually enforced (and to be clear, it's not that I think their ethics have to match mine; it's whether they enforce any ethical standards at all).",

Hopefully he ends up in jail or extradited to Brazil to face charges there so new York can recall and replace him. His listed residence in NY is an office as well I think not a living quarters so he may be investigated over that as well.",

">\n\nIt's worse than no repercussions, I legitimately believe that deep down the Republican base\nactively appreciates politicians who just blatantly lie like this. Just people who look you straight in the fucking face and tell you the sky is green.\nLying constantly is an asset and not a liability for Republican politicians, specifically with the right wing base. They have completely given up on objective reality, if people haven't figured that out yet.\nSantos figured it out, that's why he did what he did, and why he's an elected politician now.",
">\n\nI'd say they see pulling a fast one on an opponent as a sign of strength, yeah, but also (importantly) they don't think there are any politicians that don't lie. Even the ones they like.\nIt's basically a truism of conservatives that politicians never tell the truth. They might even like some things Dems say, but since everyone is a liar, there must be some catch. Things can never get better. No politician is really better than another. The world exists as it is, is structured as it is, and we must endure it as it is.\nUltimately I think this mindset is a result of the party itself having essentially no ethical or policy standards that are actually enforced (and to be clear, it's not that I think their ethics have to match mine; it's whether they enforce any ethical standards at all).",
">\n\nAnd this is by design. If their base believes nothing can be done to make the world better, they it follows that nothing SHOULD be done.

Hopefully he ends up in jail or extradited to Brazil to face charges there so new York can recall and replace him. His listed residence in NY is an office as well I think not a living quarters so he may be investigated over that as well.",

">\n\nIt's worse than no repercussions, I legitimately believe that deep down the Republican base\nactively appreciates politicians who just blatantly lie like this. Just people who look you straight in the fucking face and tell you the sky is green.\nLying constantly is an asset and not a liability for Republican politicians, specifically with the right wing base. They have completely given up on objective reality, if people haven't figured that out yet.\nSantos figured it out, that's why he did what he did, and why he's an elected politician now.",
">\n\nI'd say they see pulling a fast one on an opponent as a sign of strength, yeah, but also (importantly) they don't think there are any politicians that don't lie. Even the ones they like.\nIt's basically a truism of conservatives that politicians never tell the truth. They might even like some things Dems say, but since everyone is a liar, there must be some catch. Things can never get better. No politician is really better than another. The world exists as it is, is structured as it is, and we must endure it as it is.\nUltimately I think this mindset is a result of the party itself having essentially no ethical or policy standards that are actually enforced (and to be clear, it's not that I think their ethics have to match mine; it's whether they enforce any ethical standards at all).",
">\n\nAnd this is by design. If their base believes nothing can be done to make the world better, they it follows that nothing SHOULD be done.

Idk much about this specific claim, but I do have personal friends I met during my time in the fire service who were working on the pile at ground zero, made it home, and died from cancer years (or decades) later. I know a couple of others who are still alive today battling cancer after responding to 9/11.
Those deaths were caused by 9/11, and suggesting that they weren’t line of duty deaths would probably start a fist fight in most FDNY fire houses.
This has been a major struggle for public safety and the fire service over the last twenty years. The government has tried to say situations like these aren’t line of duty deaths - so the families aren’t entitled to compensation, and so the government doesn’t have to pay for cancer treatment or other medical bills for all of the firefighters who got cancer due to 9/11.
If his mom was at 9/11 and died from cancer sometime later, it’s not unreasonable to link it to 9/11. First responders are still dying from cancer to this day after responding to 9/11.
The amount of people in this thread making a mockery of the idea that someone could die today as a result of being at 9/11 is shameful, and on a personal level it makes me quite sad.

Hopefully he ends up in jail or extradited to Brazil to face charges there so new York can recall and replace him. His listed residence in NY is an office as well I think not a living quarters so he may be investigated over that as well.",
">\n\nWhy do I get this feeling that he's not even a citizen? I used to be a LEO and people who lie like Santos are always very bad news; either they're Sociopathic, or they have a history of associating with criminals, or possibly both. I think he was big trouble when he was in Brazil...",

">\n\nIt's worse than no repercussions, I legitimately believe that deep down the Republican base\nactively appreciates politicians who just blatantly lie like this. Just people who look you straight in the fucking face and tell you the sky is green.\nLying constantly is an asset and not a liability for Republican politicians, specifically with the right wing base. They have completely given up on objective reality, if people haven't figured that out yet.\nSantos figured it out, that's why he did what he did, and why he's an elected politician now.",
">\n\nI'd say they see pulling a fast one on an opponent as a sign of strength, yeah, but also (importantly) they don't think there are any politicians that don't lie. Even the ones they like.\nIt's basically a truism of conservatives that politicians never tell the truth. They might even like some things Dems say, but since everyone is a liar, there must be some catch. Things can never get better. No politician is really better than another. The world exists as it is, is structured as it is, and we must endure it as it is.\nUltimately I think this mindset is a result of the party itself having essentially no ethical or policy standards that are actually enforced (and to be clear, it's not that I think their ethics have to match mine; it's whether they enforce any ethical standards at all).",
">\n\nAnd this is by design. If their base believes nothing can be done to make the world better, they it follows that nothing SHOULD be done.

">\n\nAll the way to the bank. Dude had a 55k a year job and no assets in 2020. This year he's a millionaire who dumped millions into his campaign and no records of where the money came from.

Hopefully he ends up in jail or extradited to Brazil to face charges there so new York can recall and replace him. His listed residence in NY is an office as well I think not a living quarters so he may be investigated over that as well.",

">\n\nMan, I wonder where all these shitty Republicans are getting these ideas from that they can lie as freely as they want without any repercussions?",
">\n\nIt's worse than no repercussions, I legitimately believe that deep down the Republican base\nactively appreciates politicians who just blatantly lie like this. Just people who look you straight in the fucking face and tell you the sky is green.\nLying constantly is an asset and not a liability for Republican politicians, specifically with the right wing base. They have completely given up on objective reality, if people haven't figured that out yet.\nSantos figured it out, that's why he did what he did, and why he's an elected politician now.",
">\n\nI'd say they see pulling a fast one on an opponent as a sign of strength, yeah, but also (importantly) they don't think there are any politicians that don't lie. Even the ones they like.\nIt's basically a truism of conservatives that politicians never tell the truth. They might even like some things Dems say, but since everyone is a liar, there must be some catch. Things can never get better. No politician is really better than another. The world exists as it is, is structured as it is, and we must endure it as it is.\nUltimately I think this mindset is a result of the party itself having essentially no ethical or policy standards that are actually enforced (and to be clear, it's not that I think their ethics have to match mine; it's whether they enforce any ethical standards at all).",
">\n\nAnd this is by design. If their base believes nothing can be done to make the world better, they it follows that nothing SHOULD be done. Government doing nothing benefits the rich, who CAN do something, while the rest of us sit around with our thumbs up our asses getting robbed blind. Complacency and inaction benefit the rich.",

I know a couple of others who are still alive today battling cancer after responding to 9/11.\nThose deaths were caused by 9/11, and suggesting that they weren’t line of duty deaths would probably start a fist fight in most FDNY fire houses.\nThis has been a major struggle for public safety and the fire service over the last twenty years. The government has tried to say situations like these aren’t line of duty deaths - so the families aren’t entitled to compensation, and so the government doesn’t have to pay for cancer treatment or other medical bills for all of the firefighters who got cancer due to 9/11.\nIf his mom was at 9/11 and died from cancer sometime later, it’s not unreasonable to link it to 9/11. First responders are still dying from cancer to this day after responding to 9/11.\nThe amount of people in this thread making a mockery of the idea that someone could die today as a result of being at 9/11 is shameful, and on a personal level it makes me quite sad."

If the Republicans keep silent and let this piece of shit take office it will prove 100% how crooked these bastards are ,someone needs to sit this liar down and say you have told huge lies and your not even in office what do you think this thief is going to do when he gets in ?

">\n\nIt was a matter of why would he lie about things so easy to check on let's not waste the 15 minutes on this. Now that he has done this I believe many news sources will fact check work/education.

">\n\nWhy lie about something so easily fact checked? Well, now we know why.",
">\n\nYeah it opened eyes but seriously most news agencies wouldn't bother to fact check his education and resume because it's publically available info and so easy to check the just made asses of themselves and didn't check. Now that this shit has happened and Santos just basically thumbs his nose at it I am sincerely hoping they check even the most basic simple aspects of candidates now. Hell Santos was born in the 80's and claims to have worked for Reagan's administration.",

">\n\nAll the way to the bank. Dude had a 55k a year job and no assets in 2020. This year he's a millionaire who dumped millions into his campaign and no records of where the money came from. He's wanted for fraud in Brazil. And I believe the IRS is now looking into where his money came from and possible tax fraud charges. The FEC is investigating his campaign finances. Hopefully he ends up in jail or extradited to Brazil to face charges there so new York can recall and replace him. His listed residence in NY is an office as well I think not a living quarters so he may be investigated over that as well.",
">\n\nWhy do I get this feeling that he's not even a citizen? I used to be a LEO and people who lie like Santos are always very bad news; either they're Sociopathic, or they have a history of associating with criminals, or possibly both. I think he was big trouble when he was in Brazil...",

">\n\nMan, I wonder where all these shitty Republicans are getting these ideas from that they can lie as freely as they want without any repercussions?",
">\n\nIt's worse than no repercussions, I legitimately believe that deep down the Republican base\nactively appreciates politicians who just blatantly lie like this. Just people who look you straight in the fucking face and tell you the sky is green.\nLying constantly is an asset and not a liability for Republican politicians, specifically with the right wing base. They have completely given up on objective reality, if people haven't figured that out yet.\nSantos figured it out, that's why he did what he did, and why he's an elected politician now.",
">\n\nI'd say they see pulling a fast one on an opponent as a sign of strength, yeah, but also (importantly) they don't think there are any politicians that don't lie. Even the ones they like.\nIt's basically a truism of conservatives that politicians never tell the truth. They might even like some things Dems say, but since everyone is a liar, there must be some catch. Things can never get better. No politician is really better than another. The world exists as it is, is structured as it is, and we must endure it as it is.\nUltimately I think this mindset is a result of the party itself having essentially no ethical or policy standards that are actually enforced (and to be clear, it's not that I think their ethics have to match mine; it's whether they enforce any ethical standards at all).",
">\n\nAnd this is by design. If their base believes nothing can be done to make the world better, they it follows that nothing SHOULD be done. Government doing nothing benefits the rich, who CAN do something, while the rest of us sit around with our thumbs up our asses getting robbed blind. Complacency and inaction benefit the rich.",

">\n\nIsn’t pathological lying a prerequisite for maga politicians. It’s like the X-games for falsehoods.",
">\n\nNot necessarily a prerequisite. They just have zero problem with those of their party who lie for 1 of 2 reasons:\n1) They see the R next to the name and think it would be worse to have a Democrat in that position. It doesn't matter if the R was a murderer, child molester, or a rapist.

I know a couple of others who are still alive today battling cancer after responding to 9/11.\nThose deaths were caused by 9/11, and suggesting that they weren’t line of duty deaths would probably start a fist fight in most FDNY fire houses.\nThis has been a major struggle for public safety and the fire service over the last twenty years. The government has tried to say situations like these aren’t line of duty deaths - so the families aren’t entitled to compensation, and so the government doesn’t have to pay for cancer treatment or other medical bills for all of the firefighters who got cancer due to 9/11.\nIf his mom was at 9/11 and died from cancer sometime later, it’s not unreasonable to link it to 9/11. First responders are still dying from cancer to this day after responding to 9/11.\nThe amount of people in this thread making a mockery of the idea that someone could die today as a result of being at 9/11 is shameful, and on a personal level it makes me quite sad.",

Hopefully he ends up in jail or extradited to Brazil to face charges there so new York can recall and replace him. His listed residence in NY is an office as well I think not a living quarters so he may be investigated over that as well.",

">\n\nIt's worse than no repercussions, I legitimately believe that deep down the Republican base\nactively appreciates politicians who just blatantly lie like this. Just people who look you straight in the fucking face and tell you the sky is green.\nLying constantly is an asset and not a liability for Republican politicians, specifically with the right wing base. They have completely given up on objective reality, if people haven't figured that out yet.\nSantos figured it out, that's why he did what he did, and why he's an elected politician now.",
">\n\nI'd say they see pulling a fast one on an opponent as a sign of strength, yeah, but also (importantly) they don't think there are any politicians that don't lie. Even the ones they like.\nIt's basically a truism of conservatives that politicians never tell the truth. They might even like some things Dems say, but since everyone is a liar, there must be some catch. Things can never get better. No politician is really better than another. The world exists as it is, is structured as it is, and we must endure it as it is.\nUltimately I think this mindset is a result of the party itself having essentially no ethical or policy standards that are actually enforced (and to be clear, it's not that I think their ethics have to match mine; it's whether they enforce any ethical standards at all).",
">\n\nAnd this is by design. If their base believes nothing can be done to make the world better, they it follows that nothing SHOULD be done.

I know a couple of others who are still alive today battling cancer after responding to 9/11.\nThose deaths were caused by 9/11, and suggesting that they weren’t line of duty deaths would probably start a fist fight in most FDNY fire houses.\nThis has been a major struggle for public safety and the fire service over the last twenty years. The government has tried to say situations like these aren’t line of duty deaths - so the families aren’t entitled to compensation, and so the government doesn’t have to pay for cancer treatment or other medical bills for all of the firefighters who got cancer due to 9/11.\nIf his mom was at 9/11 and died from cancer sometime later, it’s not unreasonable to link it to 9/11. First responders are still dying from cancer to this day after responding to 9/11.\nThe amount of people in this thread making a mockery of the idea that someone could die today as a result of being at 9/11 is shameful, and on a personal level it makes me quite sad.",
">\n\nWow dudes got a record of fraud like several miles long",
">\n\nIf the Republicans keep silent and let this piece of shit take office it will prove 100% how crooked these bastards are ,someone needs to sit this liar down and say you have told huge lies and your not even in office what do you think this thief is going to do when he gets in ? Republican Party has sunk to a new level of deceit and lies and should be disbanded!"

Hah
White House to Jim Jordan, James Comer: Sorry, but you have to restart your oversight requests
In respective letters to Reps. James Comer (R-Ky) and Jim Jordan (R-Ohio), White House Special Counsel Richard Sauber said that the Biden administration had no immediate plans to respond to a slew of records requests that both men made the past several weeks. In those letters, obtained exclusively by POLITICO, Sauber described such requests as constitutionally illegitimate because both Jordan, who is expected to chair the House Judiciary Committee, and Comer, who is expected to head the Oversight Committee, made them before they had any authority to do so.
“Congress has not delegated such [oversight] authority to individual members of Congress who are not committee chairmen, and the House has not done so under its current Rules,” wrote Sauber, one of the White House’s top oversight lawyers.
|
[] |
>
The administration isn't "slowing" investigations; these congressmen don't have authority yet. They get their 2 years and not a day more from the recent elections. To act as if Jordan should have the Judiciary gavel now is absurd. They haven't even got a presumption speaker yet.

Why would anyone answer a subpoena from a group that refuses to answer them? I’m lost! So should the Democrats hold there own investigation into Trumps children at the same time.

None of these fuckers at the federal level, with maybe the exception of MTG, are actually true believers in it. It's just theatre. It is how they are able to change what they are mad about every 5 minutes, because you have to keep moving topics to keep up with the right-wing anger machines. There is no underlying structure to these people. They are just there to keep and hold power and deliver the deregulation and tax cuts, and to keep that in with the judges.
If you think about Republicans as being "monkey wrenches thrown by corporate/Koch America to 1) keep taxes low 2) reduce regulation to help corps make more money 3) stymie progress by the Democratic Party on anything of actual substance/prevent Democrats from using the government for social(ist!) improvements" then, through that lens, the actions of the GOP make much more sense, at least to me.
If we don't treat them seriously, because they have nothing serious to offer, that's the easiest way to minimize them.

Oh fuck, did you just use the G word in relation to Republicans? They don’t have a clue how to governor, at least in any aspect towards a functioning society. They didn’t teach that to their party members. At least since the ‘90s they have only operated as obstructionists. Their operating strategy is, “Don’t let the Dems succeed.” Followed by, “If we don’t try at all, we can’t get blamed for anything.”

Republicans attempting to assert an authority before it's legally available to them is on point for their party. Let 'em wait. Then, after the "requests" show up in January, assert that they (GOP) have sent requests with no legislative purpose and tell them to go run to the Supreme Court for each request.

"Hah\nWhite House to Jim Jordan, James Comer: Sorry, but you have to restart your oversight requests\nIn respective letters to Reps. James Comer (R-Ky) and Jim Jordan (R-Ohio), White House Special Counsel Richard Sauber said that the Biden administration had no immediate plans to respond to a slew of records requests that both men made the past several weeks. In those letters, obtained exclusively by POLITICO, Sauber described such requests as constitutionally illegitimate because both Jordan, who is expected to chair the House Judiciary Committee, and Comer, who is expected to head the Oversight Committee, made them before they had any authority to do so.\n“Congress has not delegated such [oversight] authority to individual members of Congress who are not committee chairmen, and the House has not done so under its current Rules,” wrote Sauber, one of the White House’s top oversight lawyers.",
">\n\nThe administration isn't \"slowing\" investigations; these congressmen don't have authority yet. They get their 2 years and not a day more from the recent elections. To act as if Jordan should have the Judiciary gavel now is absurd. They haven't even got a presumption speaker yet.",

Jordan has already sent a slew of letters to the administration outlining documents and interview requests he wants next year as Judiciary Committee chair, warning potential witnesses that while he’d prefer voluntary testimony, he’s willing to use a “compulsory process if necessary.”

There will be zero sympathy for the republicans while democrats slow the process down. After what has happened (and continues to this day), I don't give a damn anymore. They are going to try and paint democrats as this evil entity because they do not plan on bending over. Well, republicans you lost all credibility and ground to stand on when you chose to defend insurectionist and corruption over this country.
Oh and remember how trump repeatedly attempted to and failed to use executive privilege because you know... he's not the president anymore. Well Biden can and I'm sure if needed, he will. Ask me 2 years ago I would javelin said be transparent as possible but republicans do not care to govern at all, so why bother giving them any benefit of the doubt.

Don't go to a single subpoena. If the court finally orders you, go and say "executive privilege" to everything.

"Hah\nWhite House to Jim Jordan, James Comer: Sorry, but you have to restart your oversight requests\nIn respective letters to Reps. James Comer (R-Ky) and Jim Jordan (R-Ohio), White House Special Counsel Richard Sauber said that the Biden administration had no immediate plans to respond to a slew of records requests that both men made the past several weeks. In those letters, obtained exclusively by POLITICO, Sauber described such requests as constitutionally illegitimate because both Jordan, who is expected to chair the House Judiciary Committee, and Comer, who is expected to head the Oversight Committee, made them before they had any authority to do so.\n“Congress has not delegated such [oversight] authority to individual members of Congress who are not committee chairmen, and the House has not done so under its current Rules,” wrote Sauber, one of the White House’s top oversight lawyers.",
">\n\nThe administration isn't \"slowing\" investigations; these congressmen don't have authority yet. They get their 2 years and not a day more from the recent elections. To act as if Jordan should have the Judiciary gavel now is absurd. They haven't even got a presumption speaker yet.",
