re: #171 Citizen K

You know the phrase ‘The Road to Hell is paved with good intentions’? Even assuming good intentions, passing around known falsehoods has the impact just as much as if you were lying knowingly. And the more you do it, the more you cast doubt on how ‘unknowingly’ you’re doing it.

So fuck this ‘we can’t ascribe intentions’, especially when Trump exaggerates about easily verifiable things and doesn’t retract even after being corrected. He’s a fucking liar. Call him that.

I remember fondly the days when RWNJ refused to call both Clintons and Obama ‘liars’ because they admitted they could not know their intentions.
