They honestly believe everybody on Medicaid is “cheating the system”. They’ve bought their own BS.

That’s not the conspiracy. The conspiracy is the belief in a massive cover up.

His sex trafficking is not the conspiracy. The conspiracy is that there has been a massive cover-up.

For sex trafficking?

It’s funny because this is a conspiracy theory that both liberals and MAGA absolutely believe in despite the total lack of any evidence (besides, “you know” or “c’mon, of course there is”).

I mean… No - to keep it. “No man rules alone.” They need key supporters. However simply “being rich” is not enough.

Fox “News” is not a news channel. They actually define themselves as “entertainment” so you can’t call them out for their lies in court.

This is the weirdest thing liberals believe. There is no such thing as “defining yourself as news or entertainment.” There is no legal definition of “news organization”.

The lawsuit you’re going to reference said that Carlson was “opining” rather than stating “facts” which has a legal definition. Legal definitions don’t often match with common usage.

And you can “call anyone out” for lying whether they’re a news organization or not.

the Guadalupe River had risen about 26 feet in 45 minutes.

Goddamn…

Many (most?) databases these days support some sort of full text search.

I think at some point you have to ask yourself “if killing 10s of thousands of innocent people is necessary to achieve my goal… does that make me the ‘baddie’?”

In the '80s… You think they should continue their policies from 40 years ago?

I look forward to reading your zine.
