Hey, maybe she thought if Paul Revere could get away with inflating a skirmish into a “massacre”, she could create one from thin air. Trump’s egomania influences his staffers.
The Republicans are not really lying about the basic ideals on which they base their political philosophy. In order to be genuinely lying, you have to not believe it yourself. In the alternate universe created by Faux news, Rush Limbaugh, etc, the lies have been repeated so often, and by so many people that they are actually believing themselves now. This is “truthiness” — Colbert’s word, meaning that what is self evident when you use your mind is less important than what you know in your gut. You believe your gut, not your mind, because you don’t like what you know with your mind. The problem with using your gut for thinking instead of your brain is that the products of the two organs become virtually identical.

Ok editorial cartoonists. This horse is officially dead. Some new and humorous material would be welcomed.

How ’bout the one where Obama was born in Kenya? That was alive for eight years.
Or OBAMA IS COMING TO TAKE YOUR GUNS!? That’s still refreshing, no?

BTW, the horse may be dead, but it produces new horse manure on a daily basis.

Credibility which died so young. Maybe the Republicans should try a new tactic, like truth.

Remember, remember, oh-11’s December, the massacre where no one was shot. They know not reason and gladly weave treason by tying the truth in a knot.

MDAVIS4183 thinks DeVos & Sessions confirmations are laughs. Well, they are both jokes, just not funny!
