Quote of the Day

 


This constant lying is not aimed at making the people believe a lie, but at ensuring that no one believes anything anymore.

A people that can no longer distinguish between truth and lies cannot distinguish between write and wrong.  And such a people, deprived of the power to think and judge, is, without knowing and willing it, completely subjected to the rule of lies.

With such a people, you can do whatever you want. ~ Hannah Arendt

  1. I just assume that anything coming out of MAGA mouths are not to be believed. Unfortunately
    that includes my two stupid Trump-supporting brothers. Too bad nothing I say makes a dent in their belief in him.

  3. I have a neighbor who is a Turd Head. (He will not be named in MY house). When confronted with the sexual abuse, he could not talk his way around that fact. Everything else was a lie. Sister #2 keeps trying to understand why people believe the lies and how they can think Turd has any concerns for them at all.

  4. My Step-Dad is just horrified that my brothers, who otherwise seem like intelligent, decent people, believe in this Jack-Arse.

  5. I am crossing my fingers that the recently-uncovered Egyptian money scandal has enough evidence behind it to get this clown a fifth indictment.
