Fairy Tales

I’ve got Charles Perrault's tale The Fairies (AKA Diamonds and Toads)  in my head this morning.
 The Grimm’s version is The Three Little Men in the Woods.

Both stories tell of two stepsisters – one lovely, kind and giving, the other ugly, mean and selfish. The good, compassionate girl is blessed by fairies/dwarfs – every time she opens her mouth gold and gems fall out. The nasty-ass, narcissistic girl's total twattishness is rewarded with toads, flies and other assorted vermin dropping out of her opened gob.

Yup, obvs we've got the malevolent hell-beast stepsister in the White House. Hell's bells, his entire Republican Party is wallowing down there in the slime pits with him. They've got nothing good and true to say to the vast majority of the country so they shower us with lies, damn lies and more of 'em.

As Helaine Olen noted "The Republican Party, as part of its quest for power, has been waging a battle with the truth for decades." (source)

Velveeta Voldemort, in his 649 days as Reality Warper in Chief, has lied 6,420 times. In October alone Preznint Pinocchio LIED about 1,104 things. On average, he LIES 30 TIMES A DAY but he’s more than doubled that in the run up to Tuesday’s elections. At the rally for Lyin’ Ted “slimy crawdad” Cruz, he told a whopping 83 LIES. That's slightly more than one lie per minute AND that, mon ami, is some serious Speed Deceit.

Ya know, the only time Preznint Stupid has correctly nicknamed someone was when he bestowed Cruz with the handle "Lyin' Ted." Takes one to know one, eh?

So then, here in 2018 we are swimming in an ocean of vile distortions, bald-faced, dangerous lies and flat out evil and despotic slander, evasion and utter treacherous chicanery.

Up is down, down is up. Every time that sack of diseased fecal matter opens his mouth, nothing but hate infused, shameless, desperately manipulative LIES spew out.
