Face the facts-checking

To the Editor:

Everyone’s heard the expression that a person is known by the company he keeps. It is also true when the nouns are transposed: A company/Presidency is known by the people it keeps.

How many of them quit in disgust or got fired for perceived disloyalty to the disinterested and disingenuous former President?

And now they have been recruited by the Democrats to explain why the former President should never get close to the White House again. There are a lot of them who are better informed and knowledgeable about his character flaws that would, under normal circumstances, be disqualifying.

The eternally loyal MAGA voters are still out there (in dwindling numbers), and they’ve chosen to double-down that this horse is capable of making it to the finish line. For those of us on the other side, he’s mentally pulling up lame. His motivating carrot that goads him in this race is an unlikely victory that would provide him with the self-pardoning powers of the Presidency. There is such a thing in this country as justice.

His burgeoning number of lies and unscripted absurdities demonstrate his desperation. His power is waning.

On the subject of lies, I’ve got a rhetorical question for the willfully blind MAGA supporters. What does it indicate to you when the former president will not debate or be interviewed if the moderators or reporters will be fact-checking him? Come on, say it. The conclusion is as obvious as the ridiculous red hat perched on the former president’s disheveled hairpiece.

It should be an admission of guilt that this rapacious liar cannot stand up to cross examination. He relies on his crowd to accept and cheer everything he says. And they do. And, of course, he’s poisoned the jury pool (his unconditionally loving backers) with his preemptive denigrations of news organizations that call out his lies.

You can lead a horse to water…

I’m not asking you to drink the Kool-Aid…just the water of truth.

Maybe, if you really think about the rhetorical question, you’ll consider the possibility that you’ve been duped.
