After pardoning the rioters, who injured over 140 police officers, Dotard is now gonna pay $5 million to the rioters who broke into a secure area, threatening Congressional lives. The officer who did his duty, and shot the rioter was cleared, but Boss Hogg continues to try and change reality, as if we’re all FOXSheep, and didn’t see what actually happened.

 Just as they’ve done with Jan. 6, Trump is changing reality. It was a Day of Love. The police are the criminals, harassing the tourists.

That day is a searing indictment of Trump — so he inverts it. Babbitt is reborn as an innocent. The hellions around her are a heavenly choir. That song they’re now singing? It’s an elegy for honesty.

We are living in Bizarroworld.

To live in fiction, commit to it. That’s the moral not merely of Trump and Jan. 6 but of Trump, period. Yesteryear’s hand-wringing about whether to label his individual falsehoods “lies” and those periodic tallies of his misstatements now seem quaint; they don’t do justice to the scope and audacity of what he’s up to. Nor does the occasional current chatter about “propaganda.” Trump is engaged in a multifront, multipronged attack on any and every version of events that impedes his goals and impugns his glory. It makes the spin control of presidents past look like child’s play.
