here's a list of the most compelling, logical arguments for republican policies of the last 20 years

if we lie about what al gore said, we can make it look like he claimed to have actually built the internet.

al gore sighs.

al gore wears earth tones.

al gore talks about lockboxes too much.

obama. kenya. obama. kenya. obama. kenya.

hillary used emails.

benghazi happened and hillary didn't scream "radical islamic terrorism" in the first 30 minutes.

warren lied about being part native american.

warren is only part native american.

alexandria ocasio-cortex danced in college.




isn't it interesting that they're really, really long on ad homimen attacks and extremely short on actual, substantive, policy arguments?

gee, i wonder why?

which boils down to:

"100% is too high of a tax rate because then nobody would earn any money.
