For those unable to hear Nunes' "opening statement", it is, in a nutshell:

"Everyone in the media, every Democrat and every witness who dares criticize Dear Leader is a deep-state never-Trumper engaged in an un-American conspiracy to undermine the glorious and heroic presidency of Donald J. Trump. Black is white; up is down; slavery is freedom!"

As mentioned I use Pendejo45
But I sometimes use IQ45, and others here on DU reference something about 45.

I also refer to him as Donnie-Two-Scoops, Donnie-Smorgasbord
and others here refer him with Donnie-(nickname here)

Some on the list were very clever.

I appreciate the sentiment, but let's get Orwell's "1984" totalitarian slogan right. Big Brother's mantra was "War is Peace, Freedom is Slavery, Ignorance is Strength."

I see it the opposite.

Soviet propaganda about the West and capitalism in Pravda. Wayyyy over-the-top farcical nonsense. I had to turn it off.

My memory of communist/soviet/Russian disinformation goes back as far as Cuba and Castro's take over. They specialize in confusion, disinformation, and misinformation.

Of course we also have big US corporations such as tobacco companies, oil companies, and the "clean coal" industry.

Even though Trump is an effective con man, he is too stupid to be consistent. So I guess the current winner is the infamous Republican Party.

PS: FOX "News" is pretty damn good at it.
