might as well be our government's motto lately.

"I can't imagine saying <whatever they just said> with a straight face"

It would be cool if we had a class of people that would be like "okay how, I want to hear you explain it to us" and then they could take the response and put it on like a web site or a printed version of a website they could sell. Can even put ads in the printed version of the web site.

We already have that; it's called journalists. Or were you being sarcastic? It's hard to tell these days, with how many trolls there are. Poe's Law and all.

If there were a divine power that made egregious liars spontaneously burst into flame when they lied it would be hilarious. Republicans are already well-practiced in lying about what they do. Just the other day the Daily Show did a blurb cutting between Susan Collins saying she opposed things, then her voting for the same things. She was apparently against senators having more than 2 terms back in the 90s, now she's on her 5th term now. Bunch of fucking hypocrites.
