There is an old saying: “A leopard does not change its spots.” True. The Democrats will not change their spots, either. We were lied to about the philanderings of President Kennedy. We were lied to by President Clinton. We were lied to by President Obama (and Nancy Pelosi) about Obama’s so-called health-care law. Harry Reid lied about the Republican presidential candidate. Hillary Clinton lied to us about the deaths of our people in North Africa and her emails. Cory Booker lied about a Supreme Court justice candidate’s behavior. Joe Biden lied about talking with his son on the job for influence exchange. Adam Schiff lied about the Mueller report and what President Trump did.

Now the Democrats ask us to believe, without any proof, that all the free stuff they’re promising would be easily paid for by the “1%.” They are lying about there being no precedent in impeachment proceedings that calls for fairness or the other party knowing and partaking in interviews. They are lying about the fairness of what they are doing in the trumped-up Trump accusations.

So why are Americans believing these people? Is it that they don’t really care? Or is it that our taxpayer-funded education system has not taught them to think beyond the paid-for talking points?
