Welcome to the discussion of US Politics!
Rules:
- Post only links to articles, Title must fairly describe link contents. If your title differs from the site’s, it should only be to add context or be more descriptive. Do not post entire articles in the body or in the comments.
Links must be to the original source, not an aggregator like Google Amp, MSN, or Yahoo.
Example:
- Articles must be relevant to politics. Links must be to quality and original content. Articles should be worth reading. Clickbait, stub articles, and rehosted or stolen content are not allowed. Check your source for Reliability and Bias here.
- Be civil, No violations of TOS. It’s OK to say the subject of an article is behaving like a (pejorative, pejorative). It’s NOT OK to say another USER is (pejorative). Strong language is fine, just not directed at other members. Engage in good-faith and with respect! This includes accusing another user of being a bot or paid actor. Trolling is uncivil and is grounds for removal and/or a community ban.
- No memes, trolling, or low-effort comments. Reposts, misinformation, off-topic, trolling, or offensive. Similarly, if you see posts along these lines, do not engage. Report them, block them, and live a happier life than they do. We see too many slapfights that boil down to "Mom! He's bugging me!" and "I'm not touching you!" Going forward, slapfights will result in removed comments and temp bans to cool off.
- Vote based on comment quality, not agreement. This community aims to foster discussion; please reward people for putting effort into articulating their viewpoint, even if you disagree with it.
- No hate speech, slurs, celebrating death, advocating violence, or abusive language. This will result in a ban. Usernames containing racist, or inappropriate slurs will be banned without warning
We ask that the users report any comment or post that violate the rules, to use critical thinking when reading, posting or commenting. Users that post off-topic spam, advocate violence, have multiple comments or posts removed, weaponize reports or violate the code of conduct will be banned.
All posts and comments will be reviewed on a case-by-case basis. This means that some content that violates the rules may be allowed, while other content that does not violate the rules may be removed. The moderators retain the right to remove any content and ban users.
That's all the rules!

This should be expected. It's his answer to all bad news, just don't look at it. Don't test for covid, don't give weather services access to satellite info, ignore economic indicators and make up your own numbers. The pattern is clear. This asshole has lived such a privileged life that substituting reality with his own vision has worked out for him thus far. Let's see if it keeps working.
I'll remind you that it's not just him. This has been a GOP talking point, out loud where everyone can hear, since the GWB administration.

And if this unarmed official (widely assumed to be Karl Rove) is saying this out loud to a journalist, you can assume they've been saying it privately for decades
What the hell is up with these academic terms for "LYING?" The party of Jesus routinely doesn't follow the commandments.
The party of Jesus probably couldn't even tell you the ten commandments without looking them up. That's partially because several of them are loosely the same idea, but also most Christians are practicing both religion and politics based on vibes. They aren't based in facts or books, bible or otherwise.
How do you know the official doesn't have arms?
Heh was supposed to be unnamed. I bet Rove was packing the whole time, too
Many conservatives only care about in-group and emotions. They don't all justify it with as many words
