New Trump word for lies: Alternative facts. And I'm not mocking her appearance as ugly, but look at Kellyanne, look and Michelle Obama, and remind yourself Kellyanne is actually almost 4 years younger than Michelle. Lying all the time ages you pretty badly it seems
Look, Chuck Todd is being unfair there. There's an obvious difference between TrueFacts and GoodFacts. Finally, an administration willing to embrace that difference!

Yep would have been just smarter to not even comment on it and move on, instead they make it an even bigger issue since its such blatant dishonesty based on the fragile ego of the dear leader.
And it just seems like a stupid thing to lie about.
Seems like? it just is.
That exchange was cringe inducing. The little threat she uttered about rethinking the relationship, basically a threat for access or interviews, was disgusting.
I said this last night, but the crowd lying was 100% an attempt to distract from the women's march and knock it off the front pages. Unfortunately for Trump it did not work this time, the march was still front page and his lies just ended up below the fold or on a sidebar instead. And now his press secretary is already an on the record liar. Media is ideally going to get itself banned by doing its job, which we know will drive these lunatics insane.

Not to mention that it was a pretty hollow threat. I have a hard time believing that Trump would willingly jeopardize a chance to get any press (good or bad).
This just makes me so angry, and so sad on two fronts:
1) That a democratically elected government, in the US no less, would stoop so low.
2) A relatively large percentage of the population will eat this up, and defend it with their dying breath. This one particularly bothers me. I expect governments to be smarmy, but the complete collapse of critical thinking is damning.
This would be highly comical if the ramifications weren't so dire.

Gaslighting and dissembling as official government policy.
I wonder if we could use the same tactics to convince 1/3 of the US that George Orwell's Nineteen Eighty-Four is set in 2017 and predicted Trump and the modern Republican party.

Everybody knows Oceania has always been at war with Eurasia.

Soon they'll be limiting internet access as well. Fake news only.
