When you insist on lying about literally everything, right down to the size of your crowds, you eventually come to find that only your most ardent followers believe you about anything.
It’s pretty clear the president had some sort of a health issue yesterday, and the White House has failed to cover it up.
Pretty good summary of the mindset that’s been nurtured by conservative media through the years, and which is now the one thing the Republicans are counting on to get them through the impeachment.
With impeachment, America’s epistemic crisis has arrived
Can the right-wing machine hold the base in an alternate reality long enough to get through the next election
Right now, the right’s messaging machine is sputtering a bit, cycling through defenses — it didn’t happen, Trump’s not competent enough to do it, it was a failed quid pro quo so it doesn’t count, he did it but it’s not impeachable — that contradict one another from day to day.
A circular logic, which has become quite familiar in the impeachment affair, emerges: Anyone who says anything contrary to the tribe marks themselves as an enemy of the tribe (cough *deep state* cough); enemies of the tribe cannot but trusted, so their testimony or evidence can be ignored. Thus, by definition, nothing that questions the tribal narrative can be trusted.
A decades-long effort on the right has resulted in a parallel set of institutions meant to encourage tribal epistemology. They mimic the form of mainstream media, think tanks, and the academy, but without the restraint of transpartisan principles. They are designed to advance the interests of the right, to tell stories and produce facts that support the tribe. That is the ur-goal; the rhetoric and formalisms of critical thinking are retrofit around it.
Talk radio and the birth of Fox News in the 1990s were turning points. They eventually expanded to create an entire, complete-unto-itself conservative information universe. It was capable of cranking out stories and facts (or “facts”) in support of the conservative cause 24 hours a day, steadily shaping the worldview of their white suburban audience around a forever war with The Libs, who are always just on the verge of destroying America.
This is what Republicans need more than anything on impeachment: for the general public to see it as just another round of partisan squabbling, another illustration of how “Washington” is broken. They need to prevent any hint of bipartisan consensus from emerging.
it really is remarkable he hasn't had a heart attack by now
or maybe he just did finally

someone on twitter guessed panic attack, and that feels true to me: Late night visit, but back to tweeting by morning? If it were a heart thing or something more serious, they'd probably want to keep him there to monitor him for a while.
The oddity of it is that Walter Reed is at least 30 minutes away from the White House, where they do have medical staff on hand to deal with any number of situations.
Also, reporting today indicates that the visit didn't follow any of the established protocols for a presidential visit to the facility. Should go without saying at this point but it seems as if they're hiding something.
There've been increasing whispers about Trump loyalist paranoia regarding Pence’s team in recent days. Here is the president directly attacking one of the VP’s aides on Twitter.
guy never holds it in. you gotta give him that. always a clean slate. just let's it all out. maybe that's why he hasn't had a heart attack, despite meeting most other lifestyle pre-requisites. every night, by 2:30am, after a 13-hour session of spewing hate via twitter at everything and anything that bothers him; he rolls over onto bunch of crumpled big mac wrappers, completely purged, and passes out in a deep satisfied sleep, until 10:30am when he awakens for his first session of executive time and begins the day again.
