In what can only be called a significant lack of self-awareness, New York U.S. Rep. George Santos, the serial fabulist under federal indictment on fraud charges, is crying foul.

"I never thought leopards would eat MY face," sobs Santos, who voted for the Leopards Eating People's Faces Party

Surprized there isn't a lemmy community for that yet. This fits the bill.

That was a popular sub on Reddit.

There's one on kbin but not very active yet.

I don't like that he still gets a platform. He has proven that not only doesn't he act on his words, but his words can't even hold some simple evidence or any kind of resemblance of truth. We can't even trust him to say basic facts, so his words are no more meaningful than a small breeze at sea. He's a pathological liar and that should be the last kind of news we should see about him.

This is like in The Simpsons, when Nelson points to himself in a mirror and laughs, then realizes it's him and that it hurts.

a bigoted republican? Wut! This has me so shocked.

"Is that what being misled feels like? Wow, that's awful! People who mislead others are terrible people," he added.

He is either a moran who playing the fool. The whole GOP is anti gay this fucker had to have known.

When is he going to prison?

OOOh boy, let me tell you about the Log Cabin Republicans...

They're a bunch of gay fools who think that the Republi-nazis will treat them like "one of the good ones" once the Republi-nazis start the dictatorship they want to turn the US into.

“I used to think he was a great governor,” Santos remarked, The Hill reports. “Now, I’m starting to think differently.”

Wow- harsh words.

[-] Shit@sh.itjust.works 1 points 1 year ago

Who's ready for the story arc when he decides he is in fact super fabulous and can't understand why no one on the other side takes him seriously for half a year before deciding he was never gay and infact the most manly man in the totally straight GOP man club?

[-] teft@lemmy.world 1 points 1 year ago

I wonder if he knows who Ernst Rohm is.

[-] barrio_libre@lemmy.world 1 points 1 year ago

Seems unlikely. He doesn’t even know who Ron DeSantis is.

[-] Jaysyn@kbin.social 0 points 1 year ago

That flash followed by the loud pop you all just heard was the sound of my irony meter giving up the ghost.

[-] Drusas@kbin.social -3 points 1 year ago

I appreciate the author trying to sound erudite, but 'fabulist' doesn't mean liar.

Welcome to the discussion of US Politics!

Rules:

  1. Post only links to articles, Title must fairly describe link contents. If your title differs from the site’s, it should only be to add context or be more descriptive. Do not post entire articles in the body or in the comments.

Links must be to the original source, not an aggregator like Google Amp, MSN, or Yahoo.

Example:

  1. Articles must be relevant to politics. Links must be to quality and original content. Articles should be worth reading. Clickbait, stub articles, and rehosted or stolen content are not allowed. Check your source for Reliability and Bias here.

Strong language is fine, just not directed at other members. Engage in good-faith and with respect! This includes accusing another user of being a bot or paid actor. Trolling is uncivil and is grounds for removal and/or a community ban.
  3. No memes, trolling, or low-effort comments. Reposts, misinformation, off-topic, trolling, or offensive. Similarly, if you see posts along these lines, do not engage. Report them, block them, and live a happier life than they do. We see too many slapfights that boil down to "Mom! He's bugging me!" and "I'm not touching you!" Going forward, slapfights will result in removed comments and temp bans to cool off.
  4. Vote based on comment quality, not agreement. This community aims to foster discussion; please reward people for putting effort into articulating their viewpoint, even if you disagree with it.
  5. No hate speech, slurs, celebrating death, advocating violence, or abusive language. This will result in a ban. Usernames containing racist, or inappropriate slurs will be banned without warning

We ask that the users report any comment or post that violate the rules, to use critical thinking when reading, posting or commenting. Users that post off-topic spam, advocate violence, have multiple comments or posts removed, weaponize reports or violate the code of conduct will be banned.

All posts and comments will be reviewed on a case-by-case basis. This means that some content that violates the rules may be allowed, while other content that does not violate the rules may be removed. The moderators retain the right to remove any content and ban users.

That's all the rules!
