Can you guess who is the subject of this piece? The lyingest liar on the lyingest network? Who, if he said a tornado was coming, we would recline on our lounge chairs in the back yard?
I just saw a clip of him oozing righteous indignation because he and his ilk are being called tools of Russian propaganda for shilling the latest conspiracy theory - that the US & UA have collaborated in developing bio/chemical weapons.
(*It's just a "coincidence" that Putin is spouting the same thing.)
The foil hatters love the secret labs narrative. After all, there are so many novels about it, it has to be true. Actually, I'll bet there are secret labs in the US, or at least discreet labs. I would be dismayed if we weren't prepared for the eventuality of a biochemical attack. But I wouldn't want them broadcasting their location and level of danger. Can you imagine if the aliens who are kidnapping and probing humans found out where those labs are?!
Memo to Huckster Adolf'sson: If you lie all the time, only suckers will believe you.
Unfortunately, one is born every minute.
That means since I was born there have also been born 38,368,800 suckers! P.T. Barnum didn't specify where they are born, but sadly a good chunk seem to be in the US. At least 3.6 million of them. That's FOX viewership.
It is only mildly comforting that the total of those who watch MSNBC & CNN is 3.9 million. There could be millions out there who don't watch TV at all because they didn't pay their cable bill. Or threw their TV out the window in a blind rage when trump lost the election. Or when their MAGA hat got mangled by the cat, who mistook it for a sunburned rat. Or because they lost a nose to frostbite while waiting at midnight for a non-existent bus to bring them back to their own vehicle after a February trump rally in Minnesota.
Life without a nose is tough. The other guy's fist can make unobstructed contact with your face. There are no hairs to block out the COVID particles when you're not wearing a mask. And when you laugh while drinking milk, it goes right to your brain.
But I heard a rumor that TC was thinking about having his removed, so nobody would know when he's lying. But, Tuck, we don't need a Pinocchio metric, you can't escape your history. Or Putin's. If you're saying what he's saying, you're LYING!
