You’re selling so much bs, no one can tell anymore what is truth and what is fiction. But none of his base are concerned with reality.

Reality has left the building.

2. He's not even a convincing con-artist anymore. But he doesn't need to be.

I don't know if there's a show business term for this phenomenon -- where the entertainer reaches a point when the audience doesn't even care anymore whether the performance is worth the money.

They could have farted into microphones for 40 minutes and an album of that would have sold 100 million copies.

If he runs again we should just put this on blast 24/7 to remind people who he is now.

Please don't make me defend a Bush here, but Poppy didn't take those documents. NARA did. Furthermore, the government leases all kinds of buildings for facilities, and that could well have included the type of business Needy Amin is describing.

I think I read about the facility that NARA rented being a former restaurant. It was part of a newspaper article at the time, because some local contractor told our scandal sheet that he had bid on doing part of the upgrades. Lots of people in and around Texas wanted in on it, because rwnjs may hate the government, but they sure do love them some government $$$$.

I didn't remember the specifics of the facility being a Chinese restaurant or bowling alley, but sheesh, I'm lucky if I can remember what I had for breakfast yesterday, never mind some piddling detail from a business article 30 years ago.

10. Wait, wait. Does that have something to do with the Bowling Green Massacre?

Or were they serving gazpacho at that Chinese restaurant?

I’m all confused.
