    We’re in a post-truth world. The corporate media have normalized candidates that just stand there and tell lie after lie with little pushback.

    I don’t know how, or if it’s even possible, to get back to the days when lying assholes got treated like lying assholes.

        You’re got to take both sides seriously. If you don’t you’re a part of the woke, East coast liberal media elite and that’s just like, really bad.

      We need to send the assholes to space, where they can go fuck up some other planet.

      (Yes, I know what happened to the Golgafrinchans when they sent all the middlemen - or the ‘useless population’ - in to space).

      There is not and never will be anything called “post-truth”.

      They’re just liars.
