>>"Truth doesn't matter, what matters is the narrative," Gerhardt said. "It's much more important what people believe than what they know."

A changing Watergate narrative creates opportunities. Opportunities for lawyers to challenge Watergate's legal principles, as Trump's lawyers have done, arguing the president doesn't have to respond to subpoenas or submit to investigations. Opportunities for a president to morph already eroding post-Watergate norms, as Trump has done, attempting to bypass Congress on funding for a border wall, opining about DOJ cases involving his allies, authorizing the assassination of an Iranian commander without telling Congress.<<

"One of the reasons why propaganda tries to get you to hate government is because it's the one existing institution in which people can participate to some extent and constrain tyrannical unaccountable power." Noam Chomsky.

'We believe in truth over facts'.... or words to that effect as they say in the courts... Joe..

Trump's 4th speech was the icing on the wannabe dictator cake. Add that to the racist shit, the total disregard of congress, ruling by dictate, profiting from the Office, distribution money to those he sees fit with no oversight, the use of the Justice Department for his personal law issues, favoritism toward the loyal, the coddling of autocrats and dictators across the globe and sheer laziness in the job, then what do you get?

You get a guy that needs to be removed from the office, that's what you get. We are the United States, not some penny ante bullshit puppet state.

Fuck Trump.

Fuck Barr.

Vote them out.
