2. Pesky fact checkers again.

Facts are stubborn things, although that doesn't stop Faux News for disregarding them every day.

7. Do you guys see what they're all doing?

This is really disturbing me. They are just flat out lying in public, lying to land the punch, lying in primetime.

This is the modus operandi of these people now, and that is very, very scary.
