The propaganda machine he created was second to none. Truth is fake news, and his fake news is sold as truth. He simply keeps saying it, right wing radio repeats it, right wing internet sites post it...it BECOMES VERIFIABLE "TRUTH," with references as to where it was reported, because everything is stolen and regurgitated in the era of 24/7 news output. GENIUS!

And, lest you don't get the traction you need, you CREATE a news outlet! Wanna know who owns news outlets? Jared Kushner!!! Print it there, with required modifiers when needed, and all of a sudden, it has been reported and published in print...news now it can be reprinted! Unless you have a 24/7 fact-checking machine hunting down every lie and piece of fake news, you lose, and the fake news BECOMES REAL NEWS, and part of the national discussion. Now, simply lather, rinse, repeat ad infinitum....just like the pigs blood buckets and Obama's fake birth certificate. Both PROVEN FALSE, yet believed by millions of dumbasses.

Pretty much on the nose. This is what has shocked and saddened me more than anything. Shit, I've even fallen victim to it myself (as @buckshot demonstrated in one of my posts about the "deplorables") -- no one can keep up with everything in the information age, so if you effectively lie about everything, a good sized number of outrageously false memes become gospel before they can be stopped. But again -- what's "right"? Telling the truth. What's "wrong"? Lying. But what "wins"? Lying, apparently. Right and wrong have no place in the Trumpian universe. "The ends justify the means" has been the Trump credo for as long as he's been in the public eye. What a wonderful example for us and our children, eh?

Simple brainwashing, and another reason most people thought Bernie had no chance, even though he was a Social Democrat. Any use of the S word is an automatic "Reds under the bed" reminder! Hell, they even talk about Obama as if he was a Socialist. It's a fucking joke!

They absolutely believe President Obama was a socialist. This is post-fact America.

Daddy, maybe, but Shrub had to have his stuff in Blind Trust or divested. He may have had a bit, though, but nothing of the order of Shoot her face off Cheney!

This might raise a few hairs...

A snippet:

On Sept 27, the WSJ said it confirmed that a meeting took place between Bush Sr. and the bin Laden family through Bush Sr's Chief of Staff Jean Becker, but only after the WSJ showed Becker a personal thank you note that Bush Sr. sent to the bin Ladens after the meeting.

Here's a little known fact that may bring goose bumps to some. On 9/11, Shafiq bin Laden was at a meeting in the office of the Carlyle Group, and stood watching TV as the WTC was destroyed under the instruction of his brother.

9/11, War and Bush Family profiteering
