Was Tucker right about the heartbreak of psoriasis, too? And about the problems with sleeping on an active lava flow? And about rabid skunks making poor pets?

Gosh! What an intellect–no one else could possibly have known these things! _What a guy_!!!

Sometimes the lying is just so brazen that you have to doff your cap. Dan Bongwater took a graphic of the 10 healthiest cities in America (blue cities in blue states, mostly) and lied that these were the 10 _unhealthiest_ cities in America (to prop up his bullshit claims about failed Democrat policies.)

When caught out, he re-ran the segment later with stock footage of homeless people instead.

I don’t think switching Irvine, CA to Irving, TX was an accident. Irvine, CA is in traditionally red Orange County.

How could I have missed _THAT_?

Oh, by not following Mr. Frozen TV Dinner, that’s probably it.

> Not really a fair statement. Hitler was nominated by a single crackpot. I suspect that something much the same goes for the others. I’ll guess that Trump was probably nominated by one “John Barron”. Oh wait, one of the qualifying occupations for a nominator is “university professor”, so “Dr. John Barron, of Trump University”.

Nominations are secret, unless revealed by the nominator, and one nominator who spoke up about nominating Trump was a far right Norwegian member of parliament. Norway being the home of the Nobel Peace Prize our politicians are a lot more aware of, and willing to (ab)use their privilege for basic propaganda.

I genuinely had to think for a while which of a number of potential CPLs this referred to. This is the world we live in now.

Avenatti isn’t even on my radar. But if he did wrong then hey, fuck that guy.

Avenatti was against Trump, therefore, anything bad that he has done reflects on anyone else who is against Trump.

It’s a pretty standard, if pathetic, attempt at tu quoqueing.

It’s also worth noting that Stormy Daniels, who brought the suit, is also anti-Trump, which explains why Fox calls her a “porn actress” rather than “Donald Trump’s former mistress”.

Does a one-night (if that) stand actually count as being a mistress? I always thought of _mistress_ as applying to more long-term relationships.

Sure, it was a brief interlude, but I presume at least one of them was hoping it would mushroom into something more.
