An excellent example of how a lie becomes “the truth”. It just gets repeated enough times.
On a side note, my mother in law lives in AZ and went to high school with Harry Reid.
Claims a personal relationship with him and is a complete groupthinker, informed = 0.
They know my positions (and apply the false stereotypes to maintain a bogus position of superiority), but these topics are no longer discussed as they “don’t bring us closer”.
Point: Fall out from these lies are driving a wedge between family members. Considering these issues have an impact on MY families Life, Liberty, Pursuit of Happiness and security, I am inclined to punch my father in law in the nose and never speak to them again... but I have to keep those feelings to myself.
