Non Sequitur by Wiley Miller for January 19, 2023

You’re going to be here longer than the accountant auditing Trump’s taxes.

100 lies. He breaks that in an hour

Sorry, Congressman, you can run but you cannot hide…..not anymore.

If I actually believed QAnon and Trump, are they really lies?

Santos, we don’t have an alternative line for you at this point

I’m not a liar, I’m an impromptu story teller!

Old Saint Peter at the Golden Gate, says come on in and don’t be late.

Not even one lie is acceptable. You have to have someone pay for all your lies (and other sins) to get in.

Most Congressman don’t have a chance in Hell of getting into Heaven

Is that LIEs per week, or per day?

Well, at least the sign says “FEWER” not “LESS”. Well done, Wiley.

Over at the “Hold My Beer” counter they are singing “When the Saints Go Malting In.”

I’m confused: I always understood there was only one old bearded character checking people in at the pearly gates. Now I see whole ranks of them, like in an airport. Who are all these folks, and are we still monotheist?

I think we should be told.

He’s standing on the trapdoor leading down.

The number one rule in congress is “Don’t get caught!”

Obviously not George Santos (Or whatever his real name is)

10 points to House Miller for “fewer”. :)

I just found out, Pope Francis is George Santos’ uncle. Who knew?

He’ll lie on his back forever.

SAINTS GOT LAPTOPS!

Lying. Leaving God and the religiosity factor out of it, I think there is a need to break down this thingy we uses casually to characterize these bad actors and demons in our midst. Not so simple. Look in the mirror. https://www.nirandfar.com/types-of-liars/

I love this theory of theology: the new Trinity: God the Accountant, God the Lawyer and God the Executioner.

Lying is the act of both knowingly and intentionally or of willfully making a false statement. Normal lies are defensive, told to avoid the consequences of truth telling — to avoid embarrassment, avoid punishment, conflict or danger — for self-preservation. Such lies are singular — told in the moment. People also tell “fibs”, “half-truths,” “white lies” to spare another’s feelings or to make a situation easier to understand. These lies reflect a pro-social attitude, and make civilized human contact possible.

But there are three types of perpetual liars, people who seem to have difficulty distinguishing between reality and lie:

Natural liars are people who can lie easily with great success and skill. They don’t believe their own lies but are really good at it. Think salesman or actor.

A compulsive liar is someone who bends the truth about everything, large or small. Telling the truth is very awkward and uncomfortable; lying feels right. They often lie for no clear reason and sometimes for no real benefit. They lie spontaneously and tend to tell lies that they think people want to hear.

Pathological liars lie incessantly to get their own way and do so automatically, with little awareness. They are often goal-oriented, telling lies to get their own way. They have little regard or respect for the rights or feelings of others and are often manipulative. They create extravagant stories and maintain and enhance them over time. They make up stories unnecessarily and it often becomes difficult (for them and for others) to distinguish between the truth and the lies. They are confident while lying — they can ‘look you straight in the eye’. They hold no value for truth.

Everybody lies all the time. But nobody ever listens. So those lies are OK.

It’s purgatory for you, Congressman.

My answers alone over the years to “Do you like my new outfit?” disqualify me from that express lane.

I doubt there’s anyone who could say they have 100 or fewer lies in life, unless you’re 3 at death.

I wanna be at the gates to see both George Santos & Donald J TRY to gain access………

And that’s one more .

Only ONE COngressman?The line should be around the block/cloud cover

I hope George Santos gets eaten by a disabled veteran’s service dog.

Don Giovanni——Congress beware

According to some people, lies are just freedom of speech at work. (not me)

Now that I know my lies are being counted, I’ll have to reset my lie-o-meter. That should fool them

“When in doubt, tell the truth. That maxim I did invent, but never expected it to be applied to me. I did say, ‘When you are in doubt,’ but when I am in doubt myself I use more sagacity.” Mark Twain in his “When in Doubt, Tell the Truth” speech of March 8, 1906.

Names???

Morning Wiley, Buddy, you always get it right on. Until their is a human that didn’t come from a monkey you’ll always have lies, its a humans escape tunnel with a dead end.

Santos must be going for a bulk discount.

The lonely less liars line, How’d he get that far…

If you always tell the truth, you only have to remember one story.

I doubt that he’s the only one that can’t count.

Wiley, thank you for using “fewer,” not “less.”

Lying to raise money for a veteran’s sick dog then keeping the money is pretty dang low.

That must be Congressman George Santos.

Congressman George Santos tries to sneak into heaven.

The pearly gates are giant carved out pearls as described in the Bible.

Even in the Afterlife, he could not stop himself from Lying.

All this heavy discussion when the punchline is aimed at Congressman George Santos!

I wonder how many lies Trump is up to now?

And Santos needs his own checkout , complete with several staff

Aesop knew it: “A liar isn’t believed even when he tells the truth.”

How have these mythologies and superstitions survived for so long?
