    Everytime he blames someone reminds me of this video where a toddler has cookie all over their face and says “cookie monster ate the cookie” when asked who stole/ate the cookie.

    The funny thing is while it’s a clear lie, the toddlers lie is more sound than his.

      They lie. We know they are lying.

      They know that they are lying.

      They even know that we know they are lying.

      We also know that they know we know they are lying.

      They, of course, know that we certainly know they know we know they are lying.

      Yet they still lie.

      In Russia, the lie has become not just a moral category, but the pillar industry of this country.

      In the U.S. the lie has become not just a moral category, but the pillar industry of this country. shrugs Must be all that money.
