The people pulling the stunt didn't try to cover their tracks or make it hard for the targets to figure out it was all fake. They just assumed the targets would fall for it without question. And they did. Now wait just a minute. Are you suggesting, sir, that there is or ought to be some kind of process or policy for determining whether information is factually accurate before acting on it?

Dr. MID-Nite Posted June 24, 2021 Report Share Posted June 24, 2021 1 hour ago, archer said: Rudy Giuliani’s Law License Suspended Over ‘Demonstrably False’ Statements https://www.mediaite.com/politics/breaking-rudy-giulianis-law-license-suspended/ “We conclude that there is uncontroverted evidence that respondent communicated demonstrably false and misleading statements to courts, lawmakers and the public at large in his capacity as lawyer for former President Donald J. Trump and the Trump campaign in connection with Trump’s failed effort at reelection in 2020,” the court found. “These false statements were made to improperly bolster respondent’s narrative that due to widespread voter fraud, victory in the 2020 United States presidential election was stolen from his client. We conclude that respondent’s conduct immediately threatens the public interest and warrants interim suspension from the practice of law.” The first real act of accountability...however small....that I've seen in a long time.

Fortunately, I read Watership Down years before my father decided to make rabbits his side hustle. Meat for grocery stores, blood plasma and eyes for the UW School of Medicine, and brains for a company that, IIRC, used them to make a blood coagulant. One of my jobs was cleaning blood and membranes from the little bunny brains. But it means I can honestly include "Brain Washer" on my resume.
