“Oh Kayleigh, did you ever LISTEN to yourself?”
As any lovers of logic puzzles will tell you Reporters are asking the wrong question.
Rather than asking her whether she lies, they need to ask her “If we were to ask you if you lie what would you say?”
And her reply: “Whatever I say, believe the opposite.” 
I think that’s supposed to be “If I were to ask you if you lie, would you say ‘Yes’?” – Raymond Smullyan analyzes these kinds of questions in depth and detail, in a thousand different variations, in his logic puzzle books.
You’re not the only one:
Isn’t that effectively the same question I asked?
Regarding Smullyan, the man I am today is due in large part to his books. As well as his ever popular puzzle books he has some books on philosophy that I quite enjoyed,
WARNING - TED CRUZ STORY - WARNING!
Apparently, the Texas-sized asshole is continuing his courting of former president-turned-slumlord Donald Trump as he’s now launched a lawsuit appealing to the “Supreme Court that Trump and other candidates should be able to pay themselves back the millions of dollars they use to self-fund their campaigns.”
From RawStory:
Trump loaned his campaign $10.8 million in 2015, and by March 2016, he’d given his campaign $38 million. Trump even went so far as to claim that he was willing to spend as much as $100 million of his own money to win in 2016. He didn’t ultimately give that much officially, but it was certainly a lot, particularly given the hush-money payments uncovered.
Cruz claims that the McCain-Feingold Law violates the First Amendment by limiting to $250,000 fundraising to repay loans a candidate makes to his or her own federal campaign."
Mitch out-McConnell’s McConnell:
McConnell says Barr served the nation with distinction and honor. And said that IG probe is sufficient.
“There’s no need for a partisan circus here in the Congress.”
Marjorie Taylor Greene held a press conference today to announce that she just found out the Holocaust was bad and actually not at all like wearing a mask or getting vaccinated.
F*&% Ohio.
"… Ohio State Senators don’t think it’s hard enough. Republicans dropped “assets tests” for poor working families who receive benefits through the Supplemental Nutrition Assistance Program into the state budget last week. Among the requirements to receive aid? Not owning a car valued at $7,000 or more.
The requirements don’t just touch on vehicles, and are all equally bonkers. From the Columbus Dispatch:Ohioans who receive food assistance would have 30 days to notify the program of a change in income that was more than $500. Parents would have to cooperate “with the child support enforcement program” as a condition of eligibility. And the Ohio Department of Job and Family Services would have to “conduct an asset test for each SNAP recipient.”
The problem, Hamler-Fugitt said, is that the Senate set the total limit at $2,250.
“Families are going to have to sell their cars to keep their SNAP benefits …,” she said. “Senior citizens who may have a modest burial insurance policy would have to liquidate that policy in order to feed themselves.”
So the first $4,650 of an Ohioan’s car’s worth wouldn’t count towards that incredibly low $2,250 limit, but over that and you’re screwed out of food benefits. Anyone with half a brain knows you need a car to get most places in this country but especially in Ohio, where much of the state is rural and has no public transit to speak of."
NOTE: Republicans do not have half a brain!
more shit:
“Now imagine someone in this family gets around using a wheelchair. Vans modified for wheelchair use are incredibly expensive and, even as well-used vehicles, hold their value incredibly well. This family could lose their only way of transporting this person in order to adequately feed themselves.”

Gym Jordan is upset that Biden went to Europe for the G7 and NATO, instead of going to the border to deal with the “crisis”.
I think you’ll find that they’re perfectly OK with the white poors dying do, so long as they vote for them first.
The two axioms of Conservative economic theory:
-
To incentivize the wealthy and powerful, you need to constantly give them money.
-
To incentivize everyone else, you must relentlessly grind them into poverty.
Not to be excessively picky or unforgiving, but any apology that begins “I want to apologize for …” sounds wrong. If you want to apologize, then fucking apologize.
She only apologized bc she hated the fact she couldn’t go after Omar for her recent comments without getting raked over the coals.
This is an apology?
Just more to add to the blotter.
As somebody posted – maybe even in this thread – “I’m sorry you feel sad/angry about what I said,” is no apology at all.
