After the shooting at Pulse nightclub this bag of shit said he lost four employees. As it turns out those four people were candidates, they were not on the payroll. This man is incapable of telling the truth, making him perfect for the political arena.

let's be real, those people don't exist, he just changed the story to "candidates" because employment is verifiable and candidacy isn't

For the record, "it turns out" is AKA that's what he claims.

It has not been able to be validated. So I would take it with a grain of salt.

Trump said he lost "hundreds of friends" on 9/11.

Trump did not attend a single 9/11 funeral.

Their voters don't care.

I didn't attend my own father's funeral and we were on good terms. We had an agreement beforehand; any time/effort/money should be spent while he's alive, and none after.

Pretty sure the original NYT article said something about his campaign starting a smear campaign against his opponent because people started digging up Santos’ background and figured out he was lying. Enter smear campaign against Democratic opponent so Long Islanders get confused about what is real news and what is fabricated…. boom, GOP winner.

Also doesn’t help that Long Island is aggressive Republican. But like sure, blame Democrats for the GOP failing to share it’s due dili with constituents and protect people from unknowingly electing a liar.

edit: I said Staten Island instead of Long Island because it happens, and people couldn’t understand what I meant by just replacing a word on their own

The voters of this district must be dumb as fuck. You got what you deserve. And thanks for fucking up the House for the rest of us adults. But probably those who voted for this dumb tuck aren’t on Reddit anyway so I am pissing in the wind. But still, fuck your for wasting a House seat.

You are correct about the people of that district. It's mostly boomers who are oddly proud of the fact that they don't know how to use a cell phone. They wouldn't understand Reddit if you tried to explain it to them. I know because my parents live around there.

Was it their choice? They were duped.

The customers in this case, were lied to about the product. Saying the company should recall the product, is not saying customers cant buy it a second time, if they so chose, once they have proper information on it.

Watch him take a DNA test, have 1% Ashkenazi DNA, then double down like Warren when she claimed to be Native American.

Edit: not sure why the downvotes… im not claiming you are Jewish if you have any Jewish DNA. It doesn’t work like that. I was just saying this lying asshole would be one of those to try to claim it.

[deleted] t1_j1wy44i wrote

Jewish law actually defines what makes someone Jewish, so having Ashkenazi DNA alone isn't enough to qualify.

brownredgreen t1_j1z7aol wrote

Well hold on. Jewish Law determines who is Jewish hallukakly (no i cant spell yiddish words)

A Jewish mother, or conversion, is what makes someone religiously Jewish. But plenty of self identified Jews, who live Jewish lives, had a Jewish father, and never formally converted.

Now, Santos can get fucked, he's a liar.

BUT. Who is a Jew? Is not actually a question with a singular answer.

tinydancer_inurhand t1_j1wybml wrote

Oh I know. Just saying I can see him doing this. I have 1.4% but would never identify as Jewish because 1) I def don’t meet the Jewish standard and 2) that would be soooo disingenuous

If that 1% was somehow transferred entirely matrilineally wouldn't he count though?

Not exactly, a Jewish mother or conversion equals Jewish, from a certain point of view.

My characterization is of what voters are looking for. Someone to vote with their party. This is the party of voters that elected Trump, and MGT, and re-elected Boebert. Americans need to look in the mirror and realize what their country really is, and who their countrymen really are. And Santos and these other people are the reality, if he's not forced to resign.

Agreed. But would they feel badly about it? I highly doubt it. Majory Taylor Greene was stripped of all committee assignments cause she's that much of a waste of space where she was deemed not fit or competent enough to do the job by her colleagues, and yet American voters went ahead and re-elected her by 170K to 88K votes anyway.

This is the reality of America.
