Department of Obvious , Call on line one
Sadly the most I hear in the MSM is āUnsubstantiated claimsā
I settle for nothing less than āFucking bullshit liesā
SpyGate?
More like LieGateā¦
What will the history textbooks call it? Trumpgate? Isnāt it time for some nationally prominent politicos to start using this term? Fight back, dammit!
Lie-Gate
āLiegateā And āSilencegateā Are The Real Issues
Liegate: 3,000 false or misleading claims
Silencegate: The silence of the (congressional) lambs
āItās not spy-gate, only lie-gate.ā ~ @RepAdamSchiff
āIf you repeat a lie often enough, it becomes the truth.ā ~ Joseph Goebbels
NB: Media should stop repeating what the Manchurian Cantaloupe says and begin paraphrasing it with the word ālieā or āfalseā inserted in the appropriate place. This is not simply a matter of accuracy, although that is certainly appropriate, it is a matter of avoiding the consequences of repetition; the fixing of falsehood in memory.
Please tell me the foil hat, intentionally ignorant people buying this nonsense are in an ever shrinking minority. How can it be that this country is governed by traitors who either believe this stuff or exploit it for personal gain? What parallel universe did I wake up in 2 years ago?!
With āSpygate,ā Trump Peddles Conspiracy Theories To Change Narrative
Who is the final arbiter of the narrative? It certainly doesnāt change it for all of us who oppose him and his administration. Will the MSM comply?
Based on Trumpās record for truth-telling and his legal problems, that would be a dangerously foolish and stupid thing to do.
Muellerās cominā for ya, Donny. And heās gonna grab ya by the pu$$y.
The problem with Trumpās ātheoriesā, which most honest folk would call fantasies, is that they seem to involve a most unlikely group of conspirators whose interests donāt seem to overlap at all.
Another day, another opportunity Dotard uses to take a shit on this country and our constitution.
TPM commenters agree: TPM needs to stop using Trumppās dishonest phrasing on this matter and others.
The quotation marks donāt undo the damage ā they just let us know that you know better. Take the next step and stop giving Trumpp free use of space on TPM to spread his phony claim.
EVERYTHING Trump peddles is a LIE . . . Guaranteed!
It may be a minority and it may be shrinking but it is a non-trivial factor in our politics just the same; e.g., 76 percent of Republicans believe Trump tells the truth āmost of the time,ā
If they didnāt reliably vote as a block it might be less of a problem at least on a national level but they do so it is.
In a better world most media headlines and ledes on this subject would be variants of āLie-Gate, the Mango Maniac tells another whopper; there were only foreign agents in the Trump campaign and they were actively assisting it.ā But that;s not what we get so we toot what horn(s) we have.
NB: My concern is that the majority responds to constant repetition fairly reliably too: for many it is not a minor effect; it can overwhelm memory; e.g., Misinformation effect, Repetition principle, Repetition increases false recollection in older people
Speaking of spying, an interesting look at the security or lack thereof with cell phones, in light of Donaldās refusal to use a secure one.
