That pervasiveness and inability to back down from a lie is part of why I keep posting in response to his nonsense. I keep thinking, okay! some semblance of a person grounded in reality and able to read the room and respond in a way that will not make him seem even less credible, will pop up...but it never does.

He'd be good fodder for a case study in compulsive lying...someone who lives exclusively within his own mind.
