Partly sunny, Partly cloudy: Alternative Facts Defined

Posted in rantings and ravings on July 26th, 2017 by skeeter

NEVER GIVE AN INCH, you might as well declare as the motto for this current administration. Kellyanne Conway, on the heels of Spicer’s departure and the arrival of the hedge fund manager now Communications Director, Scaramucci, evidently decided six months after her Alternative Facts fiasco to just go ahead and explain herself. And the Trump Team. And how more has been done in this Presidency than we give them credit for. More jobs. Record stock market. Peace on Earth. Intergalactic reputations. All that stuff you maybe missed paying too much attention to possible Obstruction of Justice, Collusion with a Foreign Government or Lying Under Oath and/or Tweet. Partly sunny, see, partly cloudy. Variable. Neither here, but not actually there. Not really one, but not the other….

I see partly cloudy with a hint of thunderstorms and raining of frogs. But, of course, I’m listening to the lying media. Time, maybe, to tune into Breitbark and Fox. Sunnier weather, no doubt. See which way the wind blows. Right to left or left to right. Kinda both, see, partly cloudy, a little sunny. Alternative facts, who can really say? You muddy the water, spin the data, shake and stir, well, sir, you got something nobody can say for sure, take your pick, roll the dice, flip a card, check with yer astrologer, it’s too close to call….

Me, I appreciate clarification like this. For awhile I thought the Trump administration was trying to justify lying to me, thought maybe I was dumb as a box of ballots, figured they could sell me some snake oil or nutritional supplements and I wouldn’t know the difference. But partly cloudy, sometimes sunny, well … I can sure see which is which, facts are facts and bullshit is bullshit. I think so anyway. Or perhaps partly factual, partly b.s. Hard to say, except for the administration’s communication people. Anyway, thanks, Kellyanne, for clarifying that. Maybe thanks, maybe bite me. You know what I mean.
