This guy’s just dumb (and evil). Where are all of the master criminals these days? “I’m an expert in lions. Oh, however did my wife get all of these huge cuts and slashes on their body! What a mystery!”
It always amazes me when people that young have no concept of how internet search history works. Another source indicates he had searched for such gems as “delete amazon data police”, and even calculations for the lethal dosage of medication specific to his wife’s weight.
Here’s a musical interlude. It’s old, but the recent kerfuffle in the house speakership brings it to mind.
YouTube, not safe for work
And in the “Sun rises in the East” segment of tonight’s news, we have George Santos lying.
The notorious congressman ― who fabricated details of his past before his election in 2022 and currently faces 23 criminal charges ― has been caught in yet another apparent tall tale, suggesting that people affiliated with the Chinese Communist Party briefly kidnapped his 5-year-old niece.
Surely, law enforcement would know about this, right? Let’s see what The Law had to say:
The Times contacted a high-ranking law enforcement official who reportedly confirmed police officers had been tasked to investigate. They never found evidence that anyone was kidnapped, however, let alone of any involvement from the Chinese Communist Party.
“We found nothing at all to suggest it’s true,” the official told the Times. “I’d lean into, ‘he made it up.’”
At this point, I’m genuinely thinking Santos has some kind of disorder. I’m not a qualified expert in those, of course.
Sure you are! WWSD? (what would santos do?)
Constant lying about everything? It’s called “Trumpism”
What about “Trumpism by proxy”?
Eeeehhhh… but what possible profit does he get from saying “ChiCom Agents kidnapped my niece (but now it’s ok)”?
Nothing except attention. Even negative attention means someone is paying attention to you!
Often, compulsive liars just have to lie about stuff. Every day. Even if the lie is of no benefit to them whatsoever.
One of the main distinctions is that pathological liars often lie for no reason. The fact that he’s lying about random easily falsifiable things does indicate there is something more going on than lying for political points. That’s my armchair understanding anyway. When I was in high school a dated a pathological liar, and he lied about the dumbest things. Probably the ballsiest was this 5’6" guy telling me he had a basketball scholarship to Duke University. The relationship didn’t last long.
Spud would like a word with you 
He’s tall compared to legendary NBA star Muggsy Bogues.
Can’t believe I didn’t think of Muggsy first! Spud at the NBA dunk contest was the first thing that popped into my head.
Believe me, he was no Spud.
He was cute, though. So I was willing to forgive a lot.
Ain’t that how it is?
I dated* a pathological liar in college and she would lie about the dumbest things as well.
*If going out on two dates counts as “dating.”
Among other things, she claimed her stickon nails were real, her fake glasses were real, her fake accent was because she was a European princess, and her father was dead (but was there when I came to pick her up).
But she was cute, so we went on two dates.
A current client is like this. Whatever you have experienced, she has experienced something greater.
It is SOOOOOOO annoying.
I’ve got TWO clients like that. 
I too had an employee like that.
One day a group of us were talking about a brutal rape that had occurred in our area and she pipes in that she had been raped like 5 times(!) so of course we asked for details and her story was pretty silly.
I can’t recall the exact details but it was something like the guy had come into her house through the same window 5 nights in a row. Of course I made a smart ass comment and she was really pissed at me for about 2 minutes. She forgave easily because deep down she knew she was telling tales.
RIP Linda, you goofy kook.
