This administration...

This administration has essentially said that 2+2 no longer equals 4 and water is not wet unless they say so. They’ve thrown out all objective worldwide accepted methods of gathering data and forming statistics and providing a means of measurement, from simple crowd assessments, to unemployment rates, climate change numbers, planned parenthood/abortion rates, on and on. It’s so Orwellian and absurd it’s terrifying. Simply lying is no longer lying, it’s an opinion, alternative fact or simply fabricating their own reality in which they can agree. The other disastrously disturbing part of this, is that half the country is OK with this, and believes them.
