Another Day Another Truth

In the past most of the Republican lies have had an obvious connection to their rape and pillage agenda but not any longer. With Trump we see the value of lies as lies and independently of their avowed or unavowed goals, such as bankrupting the government and destroying the middle class.

It's about power. Lies without an apparent purpose are in fact greater manifestations of power because they are more arbitrary and less connected to reality. Lies with an obvious, if despicable and irrational, purpose are a concession to the limitations of their power. Trump is having none of that. 

The truth is whatever he says it is and for as long as he says it. There will be another truth another day, sowing the seeds of cynicism, confusion and despair.
