  These psychos truly believe that the truth is anything they say it is.

    Because their followers seem to accept everything they say as truth. It has been working.

      The Republicans embraced Faith-Based Thinking long ago, in which people believe ANYTHING they are told, as long as it comes from an authority figure they trust, such as a politician, clergy, boss, cop, etc. That’s the perfect target for a politician (or conman) whose entire authority is built on lies.

      Thats why they pandered so strongly to evangelicals, who have demonstrated their predisposition to believe to their absolute core the most outlandish fairy tales and myths written by neolithic goatherders, and tailor their entire lives around them. If they’ll believe that nonsense, they’ll believe the idiotic math of conservative economic concepts like Trickle Down, and anything else.

      And that’s why Republicans have been so critical of, and hostile toward, ANY educational standards. Stupid people are easier to recruit and indoctrinate, because they lack the Critical Thinking Skills required to reject obvious propaganda, and are more receptive of an entertaining delivery over the veracity of the message.

      HitlerPig even said it out loud: “I love the poorly educated.” Faith-based Thinking is why.

    Didn’t Ivanka accuse him of rape after she referred him to her doctor for a scalp removal to make his bald spot less obvious and he got botched so he blamed her for it and then did the thing?

      The part of the book that caused the most controversy concerns Trump’s divorce from his first wife, Ivana. Hurt obtained a copy of her sworn divorce deposition, from 1990, in which she stated that, the previous year, her husband had raped her in a fit of rage. In Hurt’s account, Trump was furious that a “scalp reduction” operation he’d undergone to eliminate a bald spot had been unexpectedly painful. Ivana had recommended the plastic surgeon. In retaliation, Hurt wrote, Trump yanked out a handful of his wife’s hair, and then forced himself on her sexually. Afterward, according to the book, she spent the night locked in a bedroom, crying; in the morning, Trump asked her, “with menacing casualness, ‘Does it hurt?’ ” Trump has denied both the rape allegation and the suggestion that he had a scalp-reduction procedure. Hurt said that the incident, which is detailed in Ivana’s deposition, was confirmed by two of her friends.

        Oh interesting. I read it in the more recent book “Hiding in Plain Sight” but my memory is spotty.

        Thanks for the reference.

    That is obviously shopped. Is the real photo anywhere?

      The idea is that every sign is a symbol: Marijuana, Smile (Sonreír), a cross which is a symbol for 1, and a skull, which in Spanish is called cráneo, a word beginning by a c, the 3rd letter of the alphabet. All together they make “MS13”.

      I have no idea if this is things gangs do. And if it’s a gang tattoo, that doesn’t mean is a member (he may just like the gang aesthetics, people do weird things), and that’s not important, because guilty or not, he deserves a trial.

        This seems unrealistically convoluted, to the level of someone who’s just looking for evidence of a conspiracy.

        You could probably poke it enough to get a trifecta of 3s and link him to the Illuminati if you tried hard enough.
