Women never lie!

... or at least not the ones with the pointed ears.

Shades of Joseph McCarthy!

"I have here in my hand ... a list of names..." - Joseph McCarthy

Trump contradicts US intel community by claiming he's seen evidence coronavirus originated in Chinese lab

"Yes, I have," Trump said when asked whether he's seen evidence that would suggest the virus originated in the lab. Later, asked why he was confident in that assessment, Trump demurred.
"I can't tell you that. I'm not allowed to tell you that," he said.


And beside sounding like McCarthy, since when has Trump ever admitted that anyone can say what he isn't allowed to do?

This news of Trump freaking out about losing to Joe Biden reminds me of that scene in Der Untergang.

You know the scene, featured in most of the "Hitler is informed that..." YouTube videos with rewritten subtitles.

If you've seen Der Untergang with its original subtitles (or you understand German) then you know that in that scene Hitler was informed by his subordinates that he was losing the war, upon which he responded by throwing a temper tantrum, screaming, yelling, and blaming everyone but himself.

When you watch that it's impossible to resist picturing Trump in place of Hitler, acting essentially the same way.
