I remember being taught about contractions and apostrophes in grade 3. It's kind of funny that the president doesn't understand what they are or how they work.

The really dumb, obvious lies aren’t to convince us or normal people. It’s for their hard core base that has decided already they are right and just need their marching orders on why they’re right. The lies are obvious and ridiculous to anyone else

There's a whole aspect to psychology about being part of the in-group by uncritical agreement with obvious lies and tropes.

The sad thing is this worked in 2016 so he's just going to keep at it. Not to re-litigate, but Dems are going to need an actual messaging to keep pushing this narrative of corruption by Trump and not assume that CNN or NPR will carry water for them or that 'the facts speak for themselves' which they clearly don't.

Schiff read from the memo that the White House released in the hopes that it would make the problem go away (but which actually made it a thousand times worse). The memo says at the top that it isn't a transcript, but one of the boobs on Fox and Friends made something up and Donny is just parroting what he heard.

I actually found what they're crowing about. He made a snarky summary of the call and said this after:


quote:

Schiff said: "This is in sum and character what the president was trying to communicate with the president of Ukraine."

And they're trying to say he passed it off as an actual quote of the call. It's just more bad faith feigning outrage.

The document Schiff read out was effectively a secondhand play-by-play on what was discussed on the call. It was not a literal transcript and it was clearly identified as such and Schiff identified it as such when reading it out. Trump appears to be mad that it wasn't 100% accurate and would rather that Schiff had used an actual transcript.

The actual transcript is the document that was uploaded to the super secret information containment service so now it's impossible to get rid of. And all indications are the actual words used are even worse for Trump. So demanding that someone go and check it and use it to correct Schiff is not exactly going to exonerate him (but it's something within Congress's power...)

What happened was that Schiff spent some time paraphrasing with a bit of hyperbole to emphasize how much Trump's conversation resembles a classic mob shakedown, and some people are claiming he was trying to pass it off as literal quotes.

If a majority of a population speaking a language doesn't know how a feature of the language works, that isn't how the language works, it's just how some institution decided it should work but has failed to implement.

So it shouldn't be surprising that he finds an accurate recounting of his call to be jarring and disturbing

They purposefully got rid of taping conversations and doing literal transcriptions and replaced them with meticulous note-taking by administration staff for exactly this reason - to create a layer of obfuscation that gives plausible deniability that a thing was actually said by the President.
