there are a lot of them that need to be canned. Given what has been revealed over the past few weeks, we are now watching the Titanic going down and the old, worn-out phrases of yesteryear just dont get you a seat on a lifeboat anymore.
Over the past forty-eight hours, I have heard these ol chestnuts trotted out by GOP pundits in response to everything from Muellers investigation, to Cohens sentencing, to Trump participating in the plot to pay hush money to his mistresses:
He wasnt even the pResident then
Every politician lies
It was a private matter
It had nothing to do with the campaign
But what about Hillary
The pResident didnt know
People are ignoring all the good things hes accomplished
It really doesnt matter
Some experts say thats not even a crime
Obama did exactly the same thing
The people really dont care about that
Hes just, ya know, different
Everyone else is lying
You dont need a bigger boat. What you need is a new boatful of bullshit, cause the same old/same old isnt cutting it.
Its time to get some new material. Trust me. With the Democrats taking over the House next month, youre going to need it.

They would be arguing over which methods of execution hurt the most and why the 8th Amendment doesn't apply.

Maybe nowadays they get them via email or text. I think they can handle using that part of the intertubes.
I could never figure out who sent the talking points though. Who was the one who made the talking points up every morning?
