    Today, the process is not so much repeating the same lie over and over, as to emit so many lies that people (eg fact checkers) cannot keep up. The desired result is to bring into question the very concept of objective truth.

    Don’t forget BD that if the broken norm doesn’t work then repeatedly claim that the other side cheated in all 11 games.

    I hope Garry Trudeau isn’t softening us up for some sort of announcement.

    Will Rogers said that he “never met a man that he didn’t like.” That’s probably not true.

    Donald Trump didn’t say that he “never met a lie that he didn’t like.” That’s probably not true, either.

    A politician can lie and get away with it if they act polished and smooth. George Santos was just so over the top and unbelievable that he and Jon Lovitz’s pathological liar Tommy Flanagan seemed inseparable.

    Yes. Repeat a lie often enough until there is a debate which exposes the lie forcing you to go into panic mode.

    Nice metaphor for a wished-for reality: a certain Someone falsely claims to have won something, is satisfied with the fantasy, and retires from the field.

    Remember what Billy Bush said about Trump lying about the ratings for The Apprentice?

    “He’d been saying it’s No. 1 forever and finally, I’d had enough. I told him, ‘Wait a minute, you haven’t been No. 1 for like five years — not in any category, not in any demo.’ He goes, ‘Did you see last Thursday? Last Thursday, 18-49, the last five minutes.’ "

    “Later, when the cameras were off, he said, ‘Billy, look, you just tell them and they believe it. That’s it: you just tell them and they believe. They just do.’”

    I think the bigger picture is that this is the second straight original strip that has major characters talking about retirement. Say it ain’t so, GBT!

    Just wondering if I’m the only one thinking that BD and Ray are referring to their service in Vietnam? Most war vets 20+ years on seem to glaze over the actual details and try to make what happened seem less horrific than it was.

    Are they talking about Biden? Biden was 0-11 and then gave speeches insisting he was 11-0. “Best economy in modern history.” “We fixed the border crisis.” Well, it didn’t work. Goodbye Joe, me gotta go, me oh my oh. Your turn, Kamala. Give me some truth. All I want is the truth.

    Unfortunately somebody can just go look up the records and say that no, you were 0-11. The other teams won’t let you do that either.

    And don’t be surprised if the college makes the decision for you.

    George Santos is a congenital liar, a criminal, and a drag queen. Trump is a congenital liar, a rapist, and a traitor. Both are very stupid, very weak, and very cowardly. Odd how the Godawful Obsolete Party tossed the less contemptible one overboard

    Keep telling the press that you were not in charge of the football team. Tell them you were not in charge of the border either.

    It’s better than trying to convince people every game of the season was rigged against you because other teams won with players you publicly said you liked.
