Trump Tells Republicans to Defend His Slush Fund by Lying. The Department of Justice has given Republicans a list of talking points not grounded in reality. (The New Republic)
Well, it ain’t too often to read about Trump telling a truth, but as the New Republic article states, Trump is at least being honest when he tells his eunuchs within the Republican Party to lie, and keep on lying because once again, truth is dangerous.
“The document says the fund is about “seeking accountability” for millions of Americans “who were victims of lawfare and weaponization.” It falsely claims the president cannot profit from it, lets senators know they can get a piece of the action themselves (wink, wink), and even attempts to paint the fund as a bipartisan win. “Democrats can submit claims, too,” the document states happily. (The New Republic)
I understand that there have been tsunamis after tsunamis of grifting, corruption, criminal behavior, and con jobs oozing from the Trump Reich, so one more “Get Rich Quick,” bottle of snake oil could be easily overlooked, but $1,776 billion is a whole lot of bottles of that snake oil being sold, and that is something NO ONE should overlook!
We know that Trump lies, is a liar, lives to lie, and let no lie ever die. Sadly, now, we have the guy who is the acting Attorney General, Todd Blanche, assisting in spreading the pandemic of all of the Trump lies, so one must wonder who will survive the insidiousness of these lies. (As an aside, and I am not an attorney, but how can it be that Mr. Blanche retains his license to practice law when Mr. Blanche has perjured himself in front of the Senate and now is inciting the Republican Congress to do the same?)
Now, we must watch, sadly, once again, as the Republicans decide the Shakespearean dilemma, “To lie or not to lie, that is the question?”
