    Wow, thatā€™s pretty damning. Iā€™m no ā€œHot Karlā€ Rove fan, but he was the preeminent Neocon strategist, and no dummy. For him to slam the orange one like thatā€¦

        Honestly pretty tired of the people who helped create a world that would lead to this decrying the world they created.

        Nah, fuck him to next Sunday. He is saying it because its politically expedient for him. He can still eat shit. Jon Stewart has it right. They can all fuck right the fuck off.

        The people behind attitudes like this are not to be trusted. When they show you who they are, believe them the first time.

        The aide said that guys like me were ā€˜in what we call the reality-based community,ā€™ which he defined as people who ā€˜believe that solutions emerge from your judicious study of discernible reality.ā€™ [ā€¦] ā€˜Thatā€™s not the way the world really works anymore,ā€™ he continued. 'Weā€™re an empire now, and when we act, we create our own reality. And while youā€™re studying that realityā€”judiciously, as you willā€”weā€™ll act again, creating other new realities, which you can study too, and thatā€™s how things will sort out. Weā€™re historyā€™s actorsā€¦and you, all of you, will be left to just study what we doā€™.

        Thatā€™s commonly attributed to Rove and he is describing the firehose of falsehoods.
