The story in the NY Times takes apart their ridiculous claim, which I’m sure you’ve all heard about by now. Millions of people no doubt believe that the FBI tried to assassinate Donald Trump now. The lies just pile on top of each other. It’s good to see the Times calling it like it is.
There’s a certain hysteria about the GOP’s talking points right now that indicted a lack of confidence in their candidate. That’s understandable since their candidate is a convicted felon who is also a narcissistic pathological liar. But still, lately they’ve been completely out of their minds.
The reaction to he verdict is the best example. They went completely over the top — all of them — complaining that it was a partisan prosecution and a political verdict. It was clearly coordinated to try to intimidate the Democrats into being afraid to use it in the campaign. (That’s not going to work — I hope.)
Just yesterday they all went nuts over a random post by a self-professed “shit-poster” on facebook who had written a post before the verdict saying tat his cousin was on the jury and told him they were going to convict. This was brought to the attention of the judbge who said they will hold a hearing on it. But it was obviously a hoax which the shitposter himself admitted. That didn’t stop Fox News and the entire right wing media from having a complete meltdown over it and demanding a mistrial. Trump himself got in on the action.
They are working their voters up into a paranoid frenzy and I think we all know where that’s going to lead if he loses in November. It’s incredibly irresponsible but that’s the definition of the Republican party in the 2020s.
