Is this really a hard call?

How is there any discussion today about who to believe when it comes to the differences between what James Comey has to say and Donald Trump's alternative facts. I'm not even going to go into the "don't expect me to have a moral compass because I'm just the new guy" excuse....

Do you believe this guy.....


or this guy?


any argument that goes beyond this is nothing more than partisanship, a search for plausible deniability, desperation and rationalization of the horrendous choice this country has made in selecting a president. End of story. Anyone having a difficult time resolving this question ....you fill in the blanks... for my money it's somewhere beyond stupidity.

state govt.s So no amount of rationale debate or reasoned facts will make one bit of difference to the great majority of these politicians and their supporters. The ONLY mechanism we have is to vote them out of office. Sitting on our asses waiting on other people to do stuff is no long acceptable. If we don't take action at state and local levels as well as nationally. WE DESERVE WHAT WE GET.....

How do you undo the stupidity? How do you get through to people who think that Trump is great because he was on WWE, or was a reality TV star or because he's a racist or because he's rich like those are primo qualifications for being President?
