When The News Suck

Yeah, that might be necessary these days, although some swear by binge-eating cookies to get through: Whatever works for you, my friend! I, for one, have a feeling that sleep is the answer: One lies down, fall asleep in the happy hope that "tomorrow will be better", and that one is going to wake up to a new and transformed world. Sadly enough, it hasn't happened yet.

 

Yup, that's one of the main problems with the so-called truth: It doesn't always keep truthful, and what's true for e.g. The Republicans isn't true for e.g. the Democrats. It's annoying as well as unsettling for people who do see the difference between THE TRUTH, the HALF-truth, and the very, very much "doctored truth". These days, people who want the "truest of Truths" are being offered what obviously enough doesn't qualify as anything but lies. Only liars hold lies in some kind of esteem, but only those of their own making, and they will - like in magic - be renamed "the truth". 
 

 

Yes, I'm sorry to say so, but a lot of those who were considered (mainly) "truthful" just a few years ago have lost their credibility. Doctoring facts to fit into some political programs does that to something as fragile as credibility, especially when it comes to politics. It's very sad, also because that trend may be set to stay with us for a very, very long time - yup, maybe even forever. And whom are these politicians, for whom "THE TRUTH" is being killed? Well, first and foremost this one, who strangely enough hasn't ended up in jail several years back in time:

Very, very strange indeed, as bending "The Truth" at will, and being found out over and over again, usually leads to the ultimate loss of TRUST. In this case, there are still people who swear by the liar.
