1) That Trump's transcript of his call with Zelinski proves no quid pro quo,
and,
2) The Mueller report exonerated Trump.
Neither of these are the truth, yet the right never misses a chance to parrot these falsehoods.

(7,294 posts)Unfortunately, it is well documented that, even knowing this to be true does not diminish its efficacy.
The repitition of lies works, full stop.
So, every repetition, even as an effort to debunk, actually is counter-productive.
A sad fact. Keep in mind as you soldier on.

(82,849 posts)I've adopted the expedient of saying "It's not a transcript; even says so on page 1" and "No it didn't; you aren't paying attention." It doesn't lead to any explication, but for now, I figure that denying their alternate reality is about as much as is possible.

"If the Mueller Report exonerated your god, then why is Bill Barr going around and trying to discredit the investigation by asking foreign intelligence services to investigate it?"
