Assault on truth and reality.
The word LIE just doesn't seem to do justice to the systematic way this gang has done damage to our sense of reality and the way it has used lies and its official authority to subvert the truth.It has now become practically impossible for anyone to say anything without someone yelling that it is a conspiracy theory or that our President and VP are incapable of doing harm to our own people or that they are honest and upright men because they are Christians. Every ploy known in the baook is used now to assault our sense of who we are.

Norman Mailer has said recently that "Democracy presumes that there is modicum of honesty on the part of those in power that those who are ruled can trust".That trust has been violated many times on matters great and small.

One might conclude they are making war on our sanity.

1. Indeed
That's why it is important to have leadership that continually advocates, articulates, and educates. It is not enough to take a poll and trim our position to accommodate its results. It's also the reason that the word "lie" needs to come back into vogue.

2. This is what abusers do, they attack questions
about their behaviour as a personal insult. Part of their need for control is that you accept THEIR version of "reality". Anything less than absolute compliance is met with harsh punishment.

3. It is all Clinton's fault
No politician ever lied before Clinton came along but now America knows how to do it because Clinton showed them how. Of course Bush* and Cabal would never do such a thing even after learning how from Clinton.
