Done a bunch of terrible things that never turn out to be true upon closer inspection. Theyre obviously telling lies, but the problem is people believe those lies. Their base of voters believes the lies, and weve seen what happens when people believe scary, awful lies come ing from republicans. A Trump Mob stormed the capitol to stop the democratic process because the mob believed the republican president and his enablers in congress when they said the election was stolen. And people are still dying every single day from a virus that we have a safe and effective vaccine for because of more conservative lies, and tomorrow right wing extremists have planned yet another rally in front of the capitol. This one to show support for the more than 600 insurrectionists who have been arrested for attacking the government on January The 6th. Capitol Police Chief Tom manger said this about preparations for the event. There have been some threats of violence associated with the events for tomorrow.
suspecting it might be debris from outer space, dutifully brought the pieces to a nearby military base. the next day, they issued a press release confirming the material was from a flying disk, a flying saucer. news agencies around the world announced the shocking find. then within hours, the u.s. military changed its assessment of what these pieces were. announce that the debris from outside was nothing more than a weather balloon, not a big deal, nothing extraterrestrial. it was he telling the truth about that? looks like he may have been, it may have been a weather balloon but that was not the end of the story. the u.s. military has gathered evidence on a remarkable number of puzzling aerial phenomenon most of which were definitely not weather balloons. unexplained flying objects that buzzed over u.s. military bases, missile sites, ships, submarines underwater seem to defy any known human technology. the pentagon has said next to nothing about any of this in public instead

But first, let s talk about a better way to understand what is broken in american politics. I was going to start today by walking through all of the big and little lies of the week. But the truth is we only have an hour. And repeating the garbage just makes everybody feel dirty. So let s skip that. No more burger b. S. Instead, let s ask why? why are there so many nonstories, so many nothingburger narratives spread by right wing media outlets. Why were there so many false and misleading claims after president biden s address to congress? why do so many republicans insist that the biden didn t really legitimately win the election he won? what is the root cause of all of this? what is causing all of the desperate little lies and in arizona, the attempts to prove the big lie about the election.
