The classic phrase is “lies, damn lies and statistics” but Republicans make the latter up too. For example, Pam Bondi claiming the Felon has saved 120 million Americans from dying of fentanyl since his election. That’s a third of the population.
Sen. Lindsey Graham thinks it makes perfect sense to nominate the Felon for the next pope. I assume he’s either joking or trying to impress FOTUS with his devotion, but I can’t imagine anyone suggesting Biden — a Catholic — for pope, even as a joke.
Trumper Texas House candidate Valentina Gomez claims Islam is a religion of pedophilia and she’s going to save Texas from falling under sharia law. There’s no risk of the latter happening and conservative Christianity has plenty of pedophiles.
Billionaire Commerce Secretary Howard Lutnick has a simple solution for America’s finances: create a permanent underclass that labors in factories, generation after generation. He assures us the jobs will be easy and allow even high-school graduates with no college to get rich. As discussed at the link, he’s lying.
The Felon’s gone from tariffs putting us all on easy street to saying we should be happy to suffer if it punishes China. He also insisted that the gang identifiers photoshopped onto one prisoner were real.
“Trump isn’t trying to drive tough substantive bargains. Mainly, he seems to want to indulge in narcissism, demanding that other nations humiliate themselves so he can put on a display of dominance. And America doesn’t have remotely enough leverage, even against Canada, to make such demands. You could say that Trump is a reverse Godfather, making offers other countries can’t accept.”
“So, how did Gorsuch so confidently slide from “leather” to “bondage” at oral argument? It sure seems like a good old-fashioned case of lazy, homophobic stereotyping: In his mind, if gay people are around leather, surely it must come in the form of whips, cuffs, and harnesses. Of course, Gorsuch could have easily disabused himself of this notion by spending somewhere between 30 and 45 seconds flipping through the book over breakfast on Tuesday.” — from a look at how right-wingers are caricaturing an innocuous children’s book as a radical sex- ed manual.
RFK Jr.’s latest bullshit: measles vaccines contain bits of aborted babies. Slacktivist points out forms of this lie goes back at least a decade: “Months ago I reported in comments about Pepsi and Nabisco products of which Creamora is one (both these products have been removed from my diet), have been given tissue for the sole purpose of enhancing flavor. I can call this nothing but cannibalism. And that alone is beyond disgust. Remember the movie “Soylent Green’? Charleston Heston. Why in the world has both ‘food and drug’ been combined into one agency? Why?”
Fox News propagandists think respecting people’s rights is “a bad look.” DeSantis wants to get around immigration judges who respect people’s rights by deputizing Florida’s National Guard as immigration judges.
AG Pam Bondi lies that the Felon was elected by an overwhelming majority of Americans. As noted at the link, CNN did not correct her.
A new report from Harvard finds Muslim students the ones most afraid for their safety and about expressing their views. The New York Times’ report on the report focuses on the threat to Jews. Our sniveling president, meanwhile, claims he can arbitrarily revoke Harvard’s non-profit status for not kissing his ass.
They’re still pushing the lies about furries and litterboxes in schools. And Oklahoma schools will now teach the 2020 election was stolen.
I have absolutely no idea why FOTUS is replacing Veterans’ Day with Victory Day for WW I, plus a separate WW II day. Is it because he wants to present himself as a great war president without a war (“That’s because we don’t have leaders anymore, that know how to do so! We are going to start celebrating our victories again!”)? Or just that he’s an idiot and someone suggested it to him as a good idea?
Since allegedly calling a 10 year old kid the n-word, a woman raised more than $300,000 on social media.
