> [@crowmanyclouds](#): > > E.G. ‘People are saying that Biden is too senile to remember to eat the baby meat pizza delivered from Comet Pizza’s basement to the Oval Office through the secret tunnels under the White House. Remember. We _report_, you _decide_.’ I have to say that this is a perfect demonstration of misinformation, as it does in fact contain just a touch of truth to it. If I tell you it’s bullshit, then you can show me that there really _are_ tunnels under the White House, so _there_! ---

That story is from August 2021. They’re still riffing on the litter box story, though. Does it never occur to them that these stories make no sense? ---

Logic is definitely not their strong suit, as evidenced by their belief in the twice-impeached former president no matter how many times he contradicts himself. Often in the same sentence. ---

And by “show up to vote”, that’s exactly all they want. To Hell with all of those unimportant un-American folks who aren’t living in the US and thus shouldn’t get to vote. I’m considered a Georgia resident and it’s effectively impossible now for me to vote since I live in China. It’s also effectively impossible for many others, people who happen to be on active duty in the military, to vote, too. That’s not democracy, no matter how often the republicans shout it is. ---
