Relative to the Secret Pod discussion of Anna Polina DeVolder, my takeaway was that while she certainly isn't at the George Santos number of standard deviations from normal, she isn't anywhere in the zip code of normal either.

Relative to the Secret Pod discussion of Anna Polina DeVolder, my takeaway was that while she certainly isn't at the George Santos number of standard deviations from normal, she isn't anywhere in the zip code of normal either.
With the name changes, the false claims of Jewish ancestry, the lies about crimes being committed against her, the ease with which she changes stripes both personal and political, she's getting pretty close to Santos territory. And if Santos remains unsanctioned and held unaccountable by his own party, don't think that Luna isn't taking note.
Just because Luna isn't currently as blatant a liar as George Santos doesn't mean she isn't as bad. What it does show IMO is another example of how just how weak a leader Kevin McCarthy is and how low the standards are on the republican side of the aisle.
If you dig into Lauren Boebert's biography there are some things that don't quite add up either. The three of them (Santos, Luna, Boebert) seem counterfeit somehow--like some organization took a regular person and grafted a biography that had several "hooks" designed to generate clicks, go viral, attract small donors, etc. They all remind me of the spy couple in "The Americans." MTG no--because clearly she is unpredictable and out of control. The other three may have handlers. Not necessarily foreign--could be a dark money group that is building a coalition in congress that will be entirely accountable to them and not to the voters in their districts.
I haven't seen anything to indicate that Santos really is a US citizen let alone a citizen of seven years standing as required by the Constitution in order to hold the office.

And I am so blessed to have Luna as my Congress person!

My deepest sympathies, Harley. Nobody deserves that.
