Big Lie Two Is Here, and It’s Far More Insidious Than Big Lie One
The New Republic ^ | September 11, 2023 | Michael Tomasky

Posted on 09/11/2023 9:11:17 AM PDT by RideForever

The Big Lie, as it quickly became known, was that Donald Trump actually won the 2020 election. He’s still out there peddling this nonsense, and a lot of people still believe it, though thankfully, they constitute a clear minority of voters.

But now there’s a new lie being peddled. Call it Big Lie Two. Trump has been hawking this one for a while too, but it has been, to my mind, oddly little remarked-upon. That needs to change: Big Lie Two is more (Excerpt) ...

“The lie is that the indictments against Trump represent a collective effort to stop him from running for president. “

The 2020 election was so hopelessly corrupt as to be invalid.

The chickenshit indictments cannot have any other purpose than “get Trump”.

The author is out of touch with reality.

You should have just excerpted the “Big Lie two” or at least tell the gist of it. I don’t want to go to some liberal rag to find out what it is.

In the social media, there is still a very concerted effort to attack Trump and turn people against him. Yesterday, I found a question in the French language section of Quora which asked why do so many people still support Trump despite the many indictments against him? I answered that it’s because his supporters don’t think he is guilty of anything and that they view him as a victim of political persecution similar to what happens in China, Cuba, and North Korea.

So neither Big Lie is actually a lie, then.

Big lie number 2 is that all these court cases are election interference. The author needs to read EO 13848. And maybe he’ll get an idea of what’s Happening here.

That Michael Tomasky is a reporter, and not a deep state, CIA propagandist involved in a CIA black Ops against the US.

This “lie” is true, but it’s not the only reason for the indictments (and the impeachments and the breathtaking level of hatred); the other, equally important reason is to dissuade any non-politician from ever running for President ... the punishment for doing so is just too severe.

CoVid was v2. Remember SARS? What we call CoVid is really SARS-CoV-2. SARS 1 is a Coronavirus. SARS-2 is a Coronavirus. I think you’re waiting for SARS 3.

The biggest shock in the op-ed comes when the a$$hole quotes Orwell saying, “unmistakable facts right in front of our noses” re: Trump indictments.

If he had anything but manure for brains, he’d know how thoroughly that Orwell phrase applies to the corruption of the cadaver-in-chief.

So if I don’t believe what he “reports”, then I somehow think he’s a CIa operative? You have to have forgotten the /s.

There is more truth to this article than the author intended. It is a lie that these indictments are specific only to President Trump.

They're not after him - they're after US. He is only in The Way.

He is being indicted for all of us.
