1. It's not really who, but where?

Found him !

2. Whoever he says he is at any given moment

apparently.

And that's cool with his party. They're just happy that he's a really, really good liar who has forged a new path, where they no longer have to be honest about anything.

6. He is the perfect Republican.

When you allow alternate facts to take the place of facts, then absolutely anything is reality. So he’s perfect.

7. On a lighter note

Remember that Steve Martin classic - The Jerk?

Who is Navin Johnson?

A teeny bit of humor to end a week of another gop shit show.

So many different stereotypes shot to hell.

10. At this point, even if someone found a birth certificate

for a "George Santos" in New York I'd want to see a year by year trace of where he was - just to make sure (or about 90% positive) that he didn't steal someone else's identity.

11. So I'm going to say it... even though

But how could the Democratic leadership in Long Island, NYC and NY State have let this guy sail past our guy?

Obviously the most important aspect here is this guy is a scam artist weirdo with a history of lying, and he owns that. The republican party also now owns that, as he's one of them. That's a total given.

But this was a LAY-UP! We should have been on this and won that election. The NY State Democratic Party really dropped the ball here, and I'm kind of furious about that. With the 4 or 5 close elections we lost state wide in the house... we could have turned this ship around, and this is the most egregious case of that.

How do we fix this? What can we do to make sure this doesn't happen in the future, again?
