In 2010, researchers from Harvard and Google put their heads together to determine that there are roughly 1,022,000 words in the English language. The Oxford English Dictionary lists around 600,000.
Either way, thats a lot of words. But there isnt a word in the English language for what Donald Trump and the Republicans are doing.
They are no longer merely lying. Lying is covering up the truth. Lying is, No, Mom, honest, I didnt break Aunt Donnas Hummel. Or: No, Your Honor, I did not bilk my investors out of $4 million and abscond to Grand Cayman.
What these people are doing goes way beyond that. Its a direct nuclear assault on the truth. Its not: I didnt break the figurine. Instead, its:
Mom, not only did I not break it, but Susie broke it, and I painstakingly glued it back together after she did so, and the facts that a) Susie has been away at camp all this time and b) youre looking at it there on the dining room table in 37 pieces are tricks, delusionsmanifestations of a vast, fake-news conspiracy against me orchestrated by Susie and Aunt Donna. Theyve met together recently on more than one occasion, after all, and people are saying that Aunt Donna bought two boxes of Samoas and one box of Tagalongs from Susie; and that, dear Mother, is proof of the cabal!
For this, we do not have a word. In the entire English language. Chew on that for a minute. MORE AT LINK

I don't miss all of their nonsense.
Life is fine without having to deal with them.
Hes resorted to using the double-blind, Bobby Brady postulate (were in deep trouble now!)
The byline reads, Michael Tomasky, Special Correspondent. Im thinking short bus special. The boy is sharp as a bowling ball.
Michael Tomasky is just more of what its like down the rabbit hole......
Twas brillig, and the slithy toves
Did gyre and gimble in the wabe;
All mimsy were the borogoves,
And the mome raths outgrabe.
Beware the Jabberwock, my son!
The jaws that bite, the claws that catch!
Beware the Jubjub bird, and shun
The frumious Bandersnatch!
No coffee yet, so it is hard to come up with the right word to correctly identify this man’s stupidity.
Michael is a lunitic.
Click on the article and then his name.
What appears next is a series of articles each as insane as the next.
He’s a freak.
I think all politicians mislead and embellish all the time. I find Trump is no different. Where Trump is different is he actually speaks his mind outloud for all of us to hear. Which I think is refreshing, though it can sometimes hurt him politically.
They were the name of Girl Scout cookies, but have since been deemed "offensive" and are now renamed "Caramel deLites" and "Peanut Butter Patties"
+1 !!
Only two words to describe this article: EFFING BULLSHIT!!!!
Yes there was s a word....its winning.
How do you categorize someone who makes up a completely fictions alternate reality like this and then accuses everyone who disagrees with their demented fantasy land as being “worse then liars”?
Pathologically insane?
It is looking like unless the actual perps (Dims) throw up their hands and say “OK, you got us” nothing will happen. This is why the evidence must be rock solid and undeniable. The media will still likely bleat “political prisoners” and “fascist dictator”, but not much you can do about that.....oh, wait! There is something we can do about that. Now where did I leave that spool of piano wire.....
Always with hyperbolic accusations of non specific wrong doing. Long windy articles with no actual specifics. Outrage fueled by outrage alone.
This is what you get from not spanking your kids...
Dumbocrats
Exactly!
The beginning of this liar’s lies is when he conflates the activities of Adam Schiff with that of a DOJ prosecutor, which he is not, nor is his position in Congress an equivalent of such.
In reality, Mr Schiff’s committee is not even the proper House committee for conducting the hearings he is holding. That proper committee would be the Judiciary committee and within that committee’s own rules for such an “impeachment” investigation the hearings would be bi-partisan with the GOP calling witnesses and the GOP not restricted, as Schiff is doing, from asking questions they believe are pertinent.
The Daily Beast has offered an idiot as an authority. They have always been working for Billary, Inc.
I’m interested, but away from home on business so not much time to explain.
The parallel to prosecutor is reasonable, including duties of not going on fishing expeditions, not harassing people with process, and using discretion and fairness when deciding a behavior should be brought to trial. A prosecutor should only bring a case when he objectively believes a jury will agree a crime has been committed.
The house may or may not take the role investigator. Usually they don’t take this in the first place, they independently judge facts brought to them by outside investigators, and maybe expand from there.
