They keep acting like the rest of us don't know how to do simple research. They believe we are as stupid as they are.

They’re also attacking the notion of truth itself. It’s Orwellian.

Alternative facts. (A blast from the recent past)

What was that woman's name who coined the phrase?

Kelley Anne Conway

Ah yes, it was on the tip of my tongue, but I can see why my brain tried to repress the memory. I recall some folks nicknaming her the Crypt Keeper.

George done good leaving her behind. The shitty thing in that situation was they both managed to traumatize their daughter.

This just makes it obvious that you and I aren’t the audience for this message. The audience is the Fox/OANN/Newsmax watcher who will never in a million years think “that story doesn’t add up, let me look into that”. The audience is the person who is maybe a little hesitant about voting for Trump again but can’t fathom voting for any Democrat ever. It leads them down the path of “this happened under Biden, therefore it is his fault” and then the talking heads lead them to the MAGA viewpoint of “Democrats actually *want* this to happen to you because they are evil”.

It's pure unadulterated projection - gaslighting. 🤬

Right, it should click that the math doesn't add up--but facts? We don't need no stinking facts!

If they are watching 🦊news,they will believe most anything except the truth!

They think simple handwaving and performative antics work on everyone. No MAGA, just on you dolts.

So Senator Stepford Wife concocted an elaborate lie. What a surprise! NOT!! The whole GOP is a thermonuclear bullshit machine. We need to smack them up the sides of their heads with the truth daily. 💙💙

None of what she spouted came out of her "brain" (or whatever you want to call the rattling pea inside her head). Her whole BS speech has Stephen Miller & Steve Bannon's fingerprints all over it. Gosh, maybe even Charlie Kirk was allowed a small input. 😡

She's the bubble head prop.🥴🥴

I am 100 percent on board with that!

ERMERGERD HOW I wish I was surprised by this revelation. Thank you for finding and posting it Jo. I hope this leads to a short term for this absolute fool of a woman in the US Senate. So what we saw was a republican woman, clearly condescending to most American women, going for the "I may be a Senator, but I'm just like you and sit in my kitchen to do all my heavy thinking"... UGH All her big-eyed story telling, hitch in the voice included is nothing but performance art. I hope she slinks off to the footnotes of history. QUICKLY!

None, indeed. I just watched the whole video (couldn't get through it yesterday, too high on Joe's magnificent SofU & gorgeous cheeky smile). I watched it with our wonderful Hal Sparks's commentary. Only way to get through all that BS. However funny, it was still no less sickening. How the *bleep* do these people live with themselves? How do they sleep at night, knowing they are lying their asses off, gaslighting people? Accusing Joe Biden of ALL the friggen' things Trump & the GOP did & are still doing? How do they look in the mirror in the morning & be fine with what they see? Ugh... 🤬🤯🤮

They don't believe in shame -- at least not for themselves. Shameless is a perfect description.

Expand full comment

They should be sued for slander! Or defamation of character!

Absolutely! I agree 100%. I'm not holding my breath, though... 😠

I hope this katzonearth guy keeps doing this sort of thing. Lies still travel around the world before the truth gets its boots on but at least with truthtellers like this guy, the truth may at least get some attention.

Me too--that was some solid sleuthing right there. Look for the right spin and attack machine to come after him.

I'm shocked, SHOCKED! to find Republicans lie!

So Fundie Katie says she's a Christian, eh? Well, maybe someone should remind her of the 9th (8th depending on your tradition) commandment. You know the 9th of the 10 they want to post in every school and public building everywhere? Yeah those 10 commandments.

For those unaware it says, in rather plain language, that "Thou shalt NOT bear false witness against thy neighbor". I'd say, that means don't tell lies that will impugn someone's reputation.

DON'T TELL LIES KATIE! YOUR GOD DEMANDS IT OF YOU!

Thank you for this, JoJo. Turns out It's even more disgusting than I thought. 🤮🤬 Why am I not surprised? Another random question: Why are Repugnicunts always so unbelievably obsessed with describing violent sex crimes as lively & vividly as they can? Do they get off on it? Just asking. Because it's now becoming very obvious (dear leader just LOVES to do it all the time), it is super weird & it disgusts me beyond measure.

They're not allowed to read about it but they seem to take pleasure in talking about it. Almost as if they were writing porn.

Expand full comment

My point exactly! Nothing against porn, to each their own. But what they are doing is just creepy AF! It really is!

Expand full comment

It shouldn’t surprise anyone that almost everything she said was a lie. She’s a ‘rising star’ in the GOP, so she toes the party line. It’s just another example of their extremism.

Good reporting .. these kinds of events need to be exposed .. regardless of how often they occur

Expand full comment

The fact that the senator is using this woman’s horrific story for her own nefarious means is swamp-like at best. The lying and theatrics are reaching a fever pitch, to the point of hypnotizing the gullible rubes who’ll soak it up. It’s madness!

It looks like Katie Britt and Nancy Mace are cut from the same cloth, or, sisters from different mothers. Soo fucking bizarre.

Expand full comment

Jeff Tiedrich-by now, the whole world knows that Alabama Senator Katie Britt’s disastrous State of the Union reponse was built on a lie.

Britt spun a horrific tale of a 12-year-old girl who was trafficked and raped by drug cartels, and blamed it on the policies of the Biden Administration. at its center is a true story — except for the part where the events took place in Mexico, almost 20 years ago, while George W. Bush was president.

after days of issuing non-denial denials, Katie Britt’s spokeperson now admits she lied.

Is anyone surprised? Me neither *insert yawn emoji here*

And she was nearly in tears too! Sad

I wonder how many takes of crying in front of the mirror she had to do to get it right?

Seems to have backed away from the claim that it happened in Texas. Now these things are happening "in our own backyard".

Because of course. 🙄

Shocking. Well, not really.

Right--I would be more shocked if that entire thing ended without the revelation of some kind of lie or profound hypocrisy.

8. Thou shalt not bear false witness against thy neighbour. Said God, in English.

Right now, and tomorrow in every pulpit, EVERY Christian will politely remind Katie Britt to repent of her sin post haste before she is cast into the lake of fire, and other frightening Bibley shit. Then resign. No worries, that will never happen.
