Here’s an update with some excellent additions thanks to ichabod1 & greeneyes.
One more thing I’d point out is that you can tell when the Ds are about to hit you with a lie because they preface it with:
1. as we all know, ...
2. it’s undisputed that ...
3. reportedly, ...
4. sources say ...
5. we can all agree that ...
6. to be frank, ...
7. in fact, ...
8. clearly, ...
9. it’s plain to see that ...
That’s because the Ds know that what they’re about to shovel is BS and they need to attempt to give it some credibility before they shovel it.
In contrast, when they are trying to discredit something (the guilt of a criminal, the claims made by Trump’s lawyers, they’re own malfeasance), they start out with:
1. Allegedly, ...
2. Purportedly, ...
3. The Big Lie
4. No one believes that ...
5. The discredited X claims that ...
6. It is claimed that ...
7. The notion that ...
8. The debunked idea that ...
I’ve also noticed that the more adjectives they put in there, the bigger the lie they are trying to cover up.
Great list! Add ‘baseless’ as in baseless claims of election fraud.
