New word of the day
We were both gas lit and grift/graft shafted by the Big Lie.
Let’s call it graft-lighting. Some losers were out to take our money, (and got very rich!) but most importantly, they were out to take our power and our pride to use it for personal gain.
It’s also infuriating and weirdly gratifying to see the “patriot leadership” who supported the Big Mouth. Upon being cross examined, their hemming and hawing their way through disclosure and exposure still has the power to stun.
Learning that Giuliani was drunk is not at all surprising, just bias confirming. Learning all the slimy toadies, including Ivanka, knew that the mouth she used to kiss her daddy was also tightly clenched shut just to keep in the truth is amusing, but unsettling.
We all get drunk sometimes. We all do stupid things like tripping over that cedar board that just bloodied my face yesterday, or inadvertently believing that the guy who promises to remember the forgotten people and undo all carnage in America is untrustworthy.
