The old Cretan liar paradox
ZH headline:
Trump "Personally Instructed" Michael Cohen To Lie To Congress About Moscow Project: BuzzFeed
Syllogism:
1. We know Cohen lies because (according to him) he was personally instructed to lie.
2. We also know Cohen lies because the FBI convicted him of lying to the FBI.
3. Therefore we must believe Cohen when he says he was instructed to lie.
But this isn't really a paradox. The solution is simple. NONE of this shit bears the slightest connection to reality. Every paragraph, sentence, word, space, period, comma, semicolon, apostrophe, font size, font choice, pixel, and micropixel of any emission from DC is 9999999999 vigintillion zettaparsecs removed from the last event horizon of the last event horizon of the last event horizon of reality.
The SOLE purpose of this shit is to dissolve our brains. Nothing more, nothing less, nothing else.
EVEN IF the whole story was plain ordinary truth without any paradoxes, it would still have ZERO connection with government or politics or RUSSIAN_MEDDLING. Trump is a sleazy mobbed-up NYC wheeler dealer, whose career was based on building hotels and casinos in various countries. He tried to build a hotel in Russia but the deal didn't go through. He also tried many other countries that didn't go through. All of his deals involve piles of lies and fakery. That's normal business for a sleazy mobbed-up wheeler dealer.
Everybody KNEW that Trump was a sleazy mobbed-up wheeler dealer. That's exactly why I voted for him. I hoped (but didn't really expect) that an experienced mobster might be able to fight the Clinton mob. I was wrong. Trump turned out to be just another hitman for the Clinton mob.
