The lawyer of the US President has just argued on TV that truth does not exist.

https://www.rawstory.com/2018/08/truth-isnt-truth-rudy-giuliani-epic-meltdown-trump-testifying/

“Yes,” the president’s lawyer insisted. “What I have to tell you is, look, I am not going to be rushed into having him testify so he gets trapped into perjury. When you tell me that, you know, he should testify because he is going to tell the truth and he shouldn’t worry, that’s silly because it’s somebody’s version of the truth. Not the truth.”

“Truth is truth,” Todd pointed out.

“No, it isn’t truth. Truth isn’t truth,” Giuliani replied.

“Truth is a truth, Mr. Mayor,” Todd insisted. “This is going to become a bad meme.”

“Don’t do this to me!” Giuliani demanded, mocking Todd’s facial expression.

“Don’t do ‘truth isn’t truth’ to me,” Todd fired back.


Fake news.

Alternative facts.

Truth isn't truth.

We here at the bank show your account as having a balance of 35 cents. That's our truth. We like it better than yours.

Of course now we will see much more of dat ass, sadly.

require their members to eat mercury and lead based paint every day in order to be in the club.

Otherwise how is it that so many devolve into raving idiots?
