Bad faith

[late]

"Trump’s seven-lies-a-day habit and his constant claims of being victimized by people who accurately report the facts are only a continuation of something that has been going on in the conservative movement for years...

So what does all this mean for the rest of us? Mainly, it means that if you’re in any role that involves informing people — whether it’s in education or in journalism — you shouldn’t let right-wingers, as Ferguson would put it, grind you down...

So you need to remember that this claim is made in bad faith. It has nothing to do with fairness; it’s all about power."

In order to understand anything about what is happening, people have to stop reading Fake News. They're like Russians in 1955, reading Pravda. Heads full of nonsense and starry eyed visions, as they line up to buy cardboard toilet paper that ran out half an hour before.

An interesting thing to note in this mess, is that one of the articles of impeachment being prepared against Nixon was "lying to the public".

My, how far we've fallen! We would never had gotten this far with a Democratic Party Congress, or even just a Democratic Party controlled House.

People who cant think for themselves start breaking down when they cant get their propaganda fix.

Be careful in your recommendations (Trying to radiate maximum cuteness here).
