Leading Questions

Interesting how the senator’s questions can be answered in literally opposite ways, depending on which side it is directed to.  For example, “Isn’t it the President’s responsibility to conduct foreign policy?”  The answer is yes, of course.  But in the same vein, foreign policy is not a tool for criminal electioneering.  

OTOH, the same question could be posed as “Isn’t it the President’s responsibility to guard against foreign interference in our elections?  The answer is yes, of course.  But in the same vein, politics is incidental to foreign policy on many levels, therefore irrelevant to the charge(s).

Just depends on how you like your reality defined, I suppose.  I prefer mine grounded in truth – at least to whatever extent objective reality presents itself.

Language as the art of influence.  What a concept.  These mutherfuckers are trying to gaslight the whole goddamn country.  Hang on tight Mr. President – your grip on reality is slipping fast.

Somebody said you were above me?
