    Someone is going to rationalize it by saying "while it was false, it was “directionally true”, just what the leftists would do so it’s worth thinking about.

        Yes, also, their excuse for why “they’re eating the pets” was worth hearing out even as it was demonstrably false. Because even if it didn’t exactly happen, it is a reasonable perspective on what “those people” would do…

      This will always be my favorite for just how silly it is.

      “Trump whore” is stupid and out of touch, but it lacks the whimsy.

        Among the messages Marks left were “Kill Trump,” “Bernie Sanders 2020,” “Death to Trump,” and “Left is best,” the Hartford Courant reported.

        “He admitted to doing the criminal act and said he regretted it,” Lt. Rocheleau said. “He said the reason he did do it was to show support towards Trump by having the other side bash him, to show how the other side is basically crazy enough to go and write stuff on a school playground.”

            This is why we don’t have any universal services in this country. They would rather literally destroy themselves than admit their bigoted political ideology is flawed.

      In this case, I’m guessing mental illness and a desire for attention. Apparently she was making shit up in high school as well, though not to this extent

      She’s only 26 and may well have psychiatric issues. I understand that desire, but… She could still grow up and realize how crazy this was. Having facial scars can be very life-altering, especially for women. Not to mention the legal implications.

    “The investigation revealed that Greene had not, in fact, been attacked by three men at gunpoint,” the release states. "Instead, Greene had paid a body modification/scarification artist to deliberately cut the lacerations on her face, neck, upper chest, and shoulder, based on a pattern that she had provided beforehand.

    Let’s be very clear, this is the type of people MAGA attracts.

    I also wouldn’t be surprised if she was encouraged by her superiors to do something like that.
