      Yes. The entire maga cult.

      They’d believe trump if he put a bowl of festering shit in front of them, and told 'em it was chocolate pudding.

      Not even.

      2+2=(3,4,5) is just recognizing imprecision in the original measurement.

      The “budget” not matching appropriations is “I’m only going to spend 100 on lotto tickets this month, and save 50” and then buying 150 in lotto and putting the 10 you ‘won’ in savings.

      It’s not the math ending up. It’s just recognizing that budgets are nonsense if the actual spending is a wholly separate act of Congress.
