Above: In a scene from Gaslight (1944), Brian (Joseph Cotton) demonstrates to Paula (Ingrid Bergman) that her husband has been lying to her in an attempt to drive her crazy. It is the title of this drama that gives us the word that describes the Big Trumplican Lies.
We need mo’ body armor, Mo
We need the Man on the line, Jim
Andrew, the Shaman says he used Carlson
Wagonlit to book his trip which is proof that
It was a tourist visit.
Kevin says, Elise, you take it
610,000 examples and it’s up to you
to suggest each one’s fakin’ it
We’re setting up an audit
and they’re all gonna turn up
in the same valley of dry bones
where Ezekiel hid the ballots
Tucker and Laura gonna move the jam
while Sean will provide cover
urging our supporters to get
The jab.
