He couldn't even make it through the first sentence without a lie:

... I've called home my entire life

But...

Around 2008, George moved to Niterói in Brazil's Rio de Janeiro Metropolitan Area, where his mother, Fátima, was then living, and lived there until 2011,[12][24] although acquaintances of Santos from that period are unsure whether he lived in Brazil or merely visited. Many knew him as Anthony Devolder.

totally has nothing to do with NYS considering laying charges and imprisoning him for crimes committed there. Nope. Nothing at all. whistles

[-] bitwolf@sh.itjust.works 11 points 14 hours ago

Mamdani makes me want to move to NY just to vote him in.

I hope NJ gets such an incredible candidate as well. And he inspires me to try to become that candidate.

[-] merdaverse@lemmy.zip 4 points 11 hours ago

He also has a very appealing campaign and social media presence. Very viral stuff. Whoever is working on it is pretty amazing.

And just seeing all the right wing people scramble to prevent this supposed Antichrist from rising their taxes is hilarious.

[-] JustTheWind@lemmy.world 5 points 13 hours ago

Oh no. Which one of his six mansions in the US alone will he need to move his family to. Weather's getting colder soon; so maybe he can over-winter at one of their private islands instead. Heard they have great child-care in those places.

[-] Bongles@lemmy.zip 61 points 22 hours ago

So let's see

  • more affordable housing
  • better transit
  • better wages
  • childcare
  • violence prevention

God what a menace. Why would any of that be dangero.... ah " raising taxes on big corporations and the ultra-wealthy." I see.

~I gathered this from a summary, I'm not in NYC so I'm not keeping up with it~

[-] zarkanian@sh.itjust.works 10 points 20 hours ago

No, sounds like you've got it right.

[-] solarvector@lemmy.dbzer0.com 9 points 18 hours ago

I don't disagree, but also... So much of what he says is just such absolute bullshit that I feel like it's kind of a waste of time to even try and verify. But truth is important. But it's also a funny (ish) meme. 🤷‍♂️

Damn, you ever have that experience where another word temporarily takes over the real word's place? I could not remember the correct word after reading that sentence. The fucking turd is attacking my brain!

[-] zarkanian@sh.itjust.works 3 points 20 hours ago

Okay, I am calling bullshit on this one. (Also, of course his children are already grown up.)

[-] SaveTheTuaHawk@lemmy.ca 2 points 19 hours ago

but he remarried ...Morgan Fairchild, yeah, that's the ticket...

He also lived and stole in Brazil.

[-] parody@lemmings.world 2 points 20 hours ago

Yikes apparently fake indeed (needs a myusername label)

He said the first part in all caps, 7:27 PM · Oct 19, 2016

[-] Xanthobilly@lemmy.world 189 points 1 day ago

He’s leaving because NY is planning to arrest him for additional crimes that are unpardonable.

[-] errer@lemmy.world 70 points 1 day ago

Expecting him to relocate to Texas and running for one of the new gerrymandered seats there. I wish I was joking.

[-] HobbitFoot@thelemmy.club 4 points 22 hours ago

I hope you aren't.

[-] possumparty 12 points 1 day ago

I wish they'd fucking hurry up and grow a spine and do it already.

[-] KingGimpicus@sh.itjust.works 7 points 22 hours ago

Politicians are strongly motivated to keep other politicians out of jail. It's their clique and you're not in it.

[-] possumparty 3 points 20 hours ago

I'm well aware. I'm a devout anarchist with a strong sense of justice, but I can still wishcast that our feckless leaders will actually do something while knowing that is never going to happen.

[-] Omgpwnies@lemmy.world 2 points 18 hours ago

I'm not sure how much impact Mamdani would have as mayor on this, but it does seem that he would be the type to do what he could to get Santos arrested, and Santos seeing the writing on the wall has decided to GTFO before that happens.

[-] Zagorath@aussie.zone 128 points 1 day ago

They're already calling him "mayor Mamdani". Like it's a foregone conclusion and they've just given up.

[-] TankovayaDiviziya@lemmy.world 25 points 1 day ago

Mayor Mamdani has a nice ring to it.

[-] parody@lemmings.world 8 points 20 hours ago

So does

ZOOOOHHHHRRRANNNNN MAAAAMMMMMDDDAAAANNNNNIIIII

emerges onto wrestling ring to mass applause

(…anybody? Am I the only one?)

[-] SalamenceFury@lemmy.world 48 points 1 day ago

I HOPE they have given up, lmfao!!

[-] balsoft@lemmy.ml 5 points 1 day ago

Maybe this is a 4d chess move so that people forget about the election day?

[-] tigeruppercut@lemmy.zip 26 points 1 day ago

If people don't know Gianmarco he's a hilarious up and coming comedian. He hosted Mamdani's rally recently

Love this guy! Thanks for introducing me.

According to MAGA, Trump is somehow protecting all of America but also isn't?

[-] DaTingGoBrrr@lemmy.world 22 points 1 day ago

The facist playbook. The enemy is both weak and very strong and dangerous. The only one that can protect us from "the others" is the facist dictator.

[-] zarkanian@sh.itjust.works 2 points 20 hours ago

facist

Why is this such a common typo? Doesn't anybody use spellcheck anymore?

[-] DaTingGoBrrr@lemmy.world 1 points 19 hours ago

Lmao I am using auto correct but it won't auto correct me when I type facist but it does suggests fascist (yes I don't know how it spells haha). I am using the Google keyboard on Android

[-] Lucky_777@lemmy.world 46 points 1 day ago

Whatever fits their narrative of the hour.

[-] ComfortableRaspberry@feddit.org 24 points 1 day ago

I think his cult views it like God and Satan. So no matter how omnipotent, God wasn't able to prevent Satan from accessing Eden as a snake and tempt Adam and Eve.

IMHO those people already have been heavily brainwashed by their religion so they're willing to believe whatever fits the main narrative.

[-] dejected_warp_core@lemmy.world 8 points 18 hours ago

Another lemming pointed out a hypothesis that explains all this:

To some, good and evil are something you inherently are, not just something you do.

Barring some very, very specific circumstances (e.g. baptism), the die is cast. From that vantage point, it's easy to have shorthand for good/bad guys, regardless of what deeds they commit. This is where corrupt leadership and propaganda slot-in by inventing new and exciting ways to judge people.

[-] ComfortableRaspberry@feddit.org 5 points 17 hours ago

That's just so stupid. Nothing against you and this take, it's likely not far from the truth. But the whole concept you describe is just.. dumb..

[-] zarkanian@sh.itjust.works 5 points 20 hours ago

I love how Satan thought that Eve would've found a talking snake more trustworthy than his true form: an angel.

(Yes, I know that Satan being the snake was retconned. It's just another funny thing about Christian mythology that nobody thinks to point out.)

[-] WorldsDumbestMan@lemmy.today 3 points 20 hours ago

Well, it's more like God likes to let Satan just do whatever, then punish everyone involved after.

[-] SwingingTheLamp@midwest.social 1 points 19 hours ago

Image search for "biblically accurate angel". It's nightmare fuel, like the hallucinations of early image generation neural networks. Or, more historically, migraine or seizure visualizations. The snake probably would be less frightening.

[-] Buddahriffic@lemmy.world 3 points 17 hours ago

They were probably originally based on optical illusions caused by unusual reflections/refractions in the atmosphere. They would have been like mirages that you can't approach to realize it's not really an object. Kinda like a rainbow. Biblically accurate angels come from people trying to make sense of seeing light doing weird shit.

Though I bet there was also improvisation of those for some of them. Like "oh if this is possible for angels, they must also be able to do x!"

Well, you could always move to DC. I hear that runny orange cum dribbles freely down the chins of the proud Republicans there.

[-] RampantParanoia2365@lemmy.world 4 points 18 hours ago

I don't understand. Can one just request to move prisons?

[-] pelespirit@sh.itjust.works 3 points 18 hours ago

Please provide an archive link to Santos saying this. If you want to help out and do it for the OP, you all have a half an hour.

[-] merdaverse@lemmy.zip 8 points 18 hours ago
[-] pelespirit@sh.itjust.works 4 points 18 hours ago

Thank you. I'd appreciate it if you put it in the body of your text, but it's not necessary at this point. If you post again and it's a famous person or politician, it will need an archive link like this.

[-] A_norny_mousse@feddit.org 24 points 1 day ago

I feel his tweet should have included "Because I broke the law"
