Too bad you aren’t able to recognize the truth and make up your own which means it’s not truth it’s propaganda being paraded as truth.

"In four years, President Trump made
30,573 false or misleading claims"
https://www.washingtonpost.com/graphics/politics/trump-claims-database/

That's 20.94 lies every 24 hours, or just over 3 per 8 hour work day.

Here's where y'all went wrong:

There are two ways of lying, as there are two ways of deceiving customers. If the scale registers 15 ounces, you can say: "It's a pound." Your lie will remain relative to an invariable measure of the true. If customers check it, they can see that they are being robbed, and you know by how much you are robbing them: a truth remains as a judge between you. But if the demon induces you to tamper with the scale itself, it is the criterion of the true which is denatured, there is no longer any possible control. And little by little you will forget that you are cheating.
Denis de Rougemont

And what about QAnon's track record?

There was no "storm."

The Kraken was not unleashed.

Not a single sex slave trafficker in Hollywood or The Democratic Party was arrested.

Not one.

And all the QAnon suckers are starting to feel... well... what they are: "deceived... lied to... conned... taken for a ride."

During my 1950s' childhood, any weirdo-relative living in an in-law apartment would have become a candidate for "insane asylum committal" as soon as s/he started spewing the kind of lunatic ideation that consumes Trump Cult, a coven of crazies who subscribe to QAnon, a new secular religion with its own messiah (i.e., Donald Trump) and its own resurrection (i.e., John Kennedy Jr. is not dead). 

And that's just the beginning.

Tom Hanks, Oprah Winfrey and Hillary Clinton are members of a vast Hollywood (and Democratic Party) cabal who operate a massive sex slave trade that also kills children to cannibalize them in Satanic blood rituals.

You guys always know more about Qanon than I do. Interesting that you study that. I could easily post some leftist turd site and point to the lies, but I won’t. Im sure all democrats are truth tellers and never lie. Schiff had irrefutable evidence of Russian collusion. Never presented it? You propagate frauds as truth, you censor truth that is inconvenient. Your party is just as corrupt and full of lies as Trump. That’s not the point. Truth is irrefutable and backed by evidence not your feelings.

You may be "sure all democrats are truth tellers and never lie" but I'm not at all sure.

In fact, I believe that all people lie.

But I also know that "threshold phenomena" exist, which is to say that "at certain 'thresholds,' one thing suddenly becomes a qualitatively different thing" - like the January 6th pro-Trump protest suddenly become sedition.

The classic example of "threshold phenomena" is water turning to ice when ambient temperature is lowered to 32 degrees fahrenheit, or water turning to vapor when ambient temperature rises to 212 degrees Fahrenheit.

And so it is that due to the frequency of their lying, Trump (and QAnon) have becomoe qualitatively different phenomena. They are no longer "normal liars"; they are abnormal liars. (Like the difference between benign tumors and malignant tumors.)

Conservative icon P.J. O'Rourke nailed it in 2016.

"Conservative Icon P.J. O'Rourke Explains Why He Voted For Hillary Despite Her Being Abominable"

You can decide which side of O'Rourke's "fence" you're on.

But there is a sane side, and an insane side.

And it is best to be careful before you decide where you stand because...

"There are two ways of lying, as there are two ways of deceiving customers. If the scale registers 15 ounces, you can say: 'It's a pound.' Your lie will remain relative to an invariable measure of the true. If customers check it, they can see that they are being robbed, and you know by how much you are robbing them: a truth remains as a judge between you. But if the demon induces you to tamper with the scale itself, it is the criterion of the true which is denatured, there is no longer any possible control. And little by little you will forget that you are cheating."
Denis de Rougemont

Some people know more than others. And no amount of rhetoric, opinionization or wishful thinking will change that.

Finally, if you don't yet know the following rudimentary truth, perhaps it's time: "Sound thinking is a learned skill, and Trump cultists seldom possess it."

Maimonides was right.

Sound thinking? You believe that everyone who supports an American first agenda is a Trumper. All Trumpers are white supremists even if they are non white? You believe Trump came before the dissatisfaction and then he caused it. That doesn’t seem like sound thinking to me. Trump is an effect of the ignorance of the left. He was a big FU to the party that turned its back on the them. Even if it was Trump. Expressing the big FU was more important so Trump did not create Trumpers. The leftists created Trumpers. Put that in your pipe and smoke Mr. sound thinker and take your false superiority complex with you.

Read between the lines.

You believe that everyone who supports an American first agenda is a Trumper.
I do not believe that.

All Trumpers are white supremists even if they are non white?
I do not believe that.

You believe Trump came before the dissatisfaction and then he caused it.
I do not believe that.

I do believe that you -- like MOST, NOT ALL Trumpistas -- are a liar, and that the lying starts by lying to yourself.

Barbaria? The Qanon of the left. 😂 as I said your ability to recognize truth is evident. It takes a level of character you do not posess to accept truth even when it defies your leftist narrative. Like all leftists you can’t do that. You believe truth is only real if it’s part of your narrative.

A question.

Do you read?

Or, do you just pontificate?

You couldn't be more wrong.

Maybe if I put my comments concerning your misevaluations in ALL CAPS...

"You believe that everyone who supports an American first agenda is a Trumper."
I DO NOT BELIEVE THAT.

"All Trumpers are white supremists even if they are non white?"
I DO NOT BELIEVE THAT.

"You believe Trump came before the dissatisfaction and then he caused it."
I DO NOT BELIEVE THAT.

In America, it's "three strikes and your out."

ALL of your stated suppositions about my views are false..

Every. Single. One. Of. Them.

It is literally true that "you couldn't be more wrong."

Yet your blanket wrongness means nothing to you.

Nothing at all.

Here, learn something.

So first off you would have to post a link that works. Secondly if you can pontificate on Trump and Qanon cultists I can pontificate on woke, Sjw leftists. If you are defending their position and get doused with that same water hose and don’t like it then stand away.

The link works.

The difference between my pontifications on Trump and QAnon is that I'm accurate 90% of the time, whereas your positions on "woke" are rarely accurate.

Review P.J. O'Rourke.

Better yet, explain to me where O'Rourke is wrong.

A prediction...

You either won't address O'Rourke, or you'll embarrass yourself.
You can't back a losing horse and a world class liar and expect to hold your own in meaningful debate.

So you are still in 2016 and really wanted Billary? I agree with PJ she was wrong on all the issues and a liar. I didn’t vote for her or Trump in 2016. A lot has happened since then so PJ’s assessment from 4 years ago isn't really still applicable and Hillary lost. It is Good though that you indicate you are still angry from 2016 elections and talk about people letting go jeez. Let go of the Hillary run she was horrible and deserved to lose and hopefully will never run again. It’s her fault she lost not the Cheetos.

You are one of the self-professed 'experts' in making up "truths".

See, there's not even a trace of sarcasm...only the truth.
