    This is politics, not science. With science (at its best), “The Truth” is never just “as I see it”: It’s “the collective best guess at the truth as we see it” (with plenty of room for people who have a different view of the truth to try to convince you that they’ve got part of the truth). And, with science, if you get caught fudging the facts, you lose your membership in the club.

    GOP KNOW he’s guilty…..they just want their fair share…bribe money from lobbyists, a continued smeared career, deceiving, lying to constituents that voted them in…..protecting a treasonist pig! They’re so desperate now, it’s too hysterical to watch! They have turned into mad dogs and will say anything to convince the public….LMAO! Actually they’re all so pathetic and an embarrassment to America and the forefathers…..they all need to crawl back under the earth….

    The scientific method tries to disprove an idea from different ways. If it can’t be disproved and shows a lot of evidence that it is indeed correct it doesn’t even stop there. It’s continually reviewed. That train of thought got derailed when senators learned that the one who shouts loudest and over the voices of the most must be speaking “the truth.” Except jt isn’t truth just be cause someone says so, even in twit tweets or because it’s biggly and the best, always the best from the lips of the chosen one. “And that, boys & girls, is how we let the inmates run the asylum.”

    I had dinner with an old friend and, since 2016, Trump voter. He gleefully told me that Trump will be reelected because “we (Trump supporters) know he constantly lies but Trump is good for our interests”. However, my friend’s retirement nest egg is completely invested in bank CDs and Trump has caused my friend’s interest income to fall by 30% in the last year alone. So the evidence is Trump is bad for my friend’s interests – but he refuses to see it.

    Alternate Facts are very real even though almost all of them don’t pass the smell test. They have lead to uncounted Alternate Realities all based on false facts. The result is nobody really knows anything for sure anymore, but everyone is willing to fight to the death to defend their version of Reality.

    I hope the lesson of 2016 is learned. There is no point in voting for Biden. He is Republican light. Vote for a real progressive. Yes, that means that we have a FAR left wing party and a FAR right wing party. That’s the idea. To put a moderate Democrat up against the Republicans is like agreeing to play the entire game inside the other team’s 50 yard line.

    The “irresistible force” always wins eventually. If the “object” refuses to move, it will be destroyed instead.

    Unfortunately, considerable collateral damage usually ensues from such intransigence.

    On the left we have the bookshelf with the facts, and on the right we have “Gee I wish my opinion could be substituted for fact, so I’ll just pretend that it can.”

    Not a coincidence that they are positioned thusly.
