Level 1 Lies of counterfactual statements are really hard to sell. Any fool can check the facts. The politicians and lawyers mostly work at Level 2 of partial truth, though that’s quite a lot of work because you have to understand the truth before you can figure out which parts to cut. But the real pros like Bannon and Conway work at Level 3 where the deframing leaves you so confused afterwards that you can’t even figure out if you’ve stopped beating your wife yet.
Punchline. TFG is a Level 0 liar whose self-contradictions obviate any need for any kind of thinking to know there’s a lie there. The only funny part is when one lie from TFG is contradicted by an even bigger lie, sometimes in the same sentence. (In contrast, you can’t contradict two truths.)
If Republicans regain power, it’s going to be a blood bath. They persecuted Clinton in return for Nixon. They’ll make the Benghazi boondoggle look like a bake sale with endless impeachment of Biden. Literally endless as they’ll never have to relinquish power when they take control of counting votes.
If it isn’t Clinton’s emails then its Hunter’s laptop. Seriously what has happened to the Party of Lincoln ? Poor Abe would be so disheartened that his party got hijacked by a bunch of fascists
You mean the US Ambassador and all those brave people didn’t die at Benghazi…and Hillary took the call @ 3am coming to their rescue? Alternate reality? Who knew?
We have Chuck Grassley openly declaring on Fox News that a budget increase for the IRS would result in their agents gunning down small-business owners. (He proudly displays the interview on his website.) There is no end to the Republican victim complex.
When rational people can bring themselves to consider the self-evident failings of persons who trade in old lies in response to very real indictments of high crimes – politics may get back to dealing with reality.
Save your “personality cults” for TV stars – don’t confuse them with politicians who should be working to make your life better.
“I’d argue that Hilary was one of the most qualified presidential candidates ever:”She has been a major warmonger, which does seem to have been the primary qualification for the presidency of the United States since the 1940s. However, her record pales beside that of Biden, who has managed to provoke wars with two major nuclear powers. No other presidential war freak has made that kind of move. Trump, by contrast, was a piker, even counting the clown show at the Capitol.

Sid, maybe you can have it filmed in that basement that where all the child sex trafficking was taking place — the pizza place that had no basement.
And make sure you show some documentation of the widespread undetectable voter fraud.

What if Hilary rode a flying dragon? And freed the slaves? Sounds great, right?

I don’t see the MAGAs caring that Hillary was cleared or smeared. Sid’s right – they’d eat it up.

The Benghazi idea would definitely fly in the Trump Cult. And then you could follow it up with a really long-running prequel series: Whitewater!
