Postfactual = lies
Alternative facts = lies
Misspoke = lies
Only Dogberry can tell American politicians who they are.
Bernie Sanders was trustworthy...
Obama has been quite trustworthy...
Hillary is an occasional lier...
Almost every Republican politician is a habitual lier... educated in the spirit of Carl Rove and Cialdini: There is no truth. We make the truth...
Trump is also a lier by his personality...

Dogberry: "Marry, sir, they have committed false report; moreover, they have spoken untruths; secondarily, they are slanders; sixth and lastly, they have belied a lady; thirdly, they have verified unjust things; and, to conclude, they are lying knaves."

You're all wrong. Ease the weight of responsibility by blaming in an outward direction from the center of self.

The most elegant post truth is that post truth just started recently. The only thing new is the term. A fabulous diversion playing right into liberal paranoia, attacking the messenger not the message. Meanwhile conservative paranoia just rolls on.
Havent we been thru all this before...?

With the Press Secretary's first action being to lie through his teeth about something that can easily be proven to be false, imagine what they're going to be telling us about things that are harder to check.
With the threats to the press, it seems like the administration would like to be holding their press conferences with Pravda and Breitbart, and no other correspondents. Maybe a self respecting press should boycott Spicer, rather than the other way around.
It would be nice if the ghost of Walter Cronkite would visit Spicer in the night, and scare some sense into him.
By the way, 8a.nu did a comparative study, and grades are harder in Spain than in Frankenjura. Anywhere else, I'd still be climbing 5.12. In fact, I did climb 5.12 last time I was abroad.

It appeared that there had even been demonstrations to thank Big Brother for raising the chocolate ration to twenty grams a week. And only yesterday […] it had been announced that the ration was to be reduced to twenty grams a week. Was it possible that they could swallow that, after only twenty-four hours? Yes, they swallowed it.

How this will end:
1. Offending remarks will be forbidden and what is offensive will be reinterpreted.
2. The reinterpretation will make it clear that telling the president and his staff that they are lying when they are lying, read: delivering their alternative facts, will be seen as offensive.
3. Those who offend the president by pointing out his lies will be followed by his lawyers and put in jail.
The American president will achieve the ultimate freedom, to lie about everything and define truth for the American people as he finds it useful to himself.
I think I have read the book once or twice...
