GISH GALLOP. The MAGA TECHNIQUE. 24/7 LIES. CAN'T ARGUE WITH INSANITY AND IRRATIONALITY. MAGAS ARE ALZHEIMER'S ON STEROIDS

GISH GALLOP (Dr. Heather Cox Richardson)

“This was not a debate. It was Trump using a technique that actually has a formal name, the Gish gallop, although I suspect he comes by it naturally. It’s a rhetorical technique in which someone throws out a fast string of lies, non-sequiturs, and specious arguments, so many that it is impossible to fact-check or rebut them in the amount of time it took to say them. Trying to figure out how to respond makes the opponent look confused, because they don’t know where to start grappling with the flood that has just hit them.

“It is a form of gaslighting, and it is especially effective on someone with a stutter, as Biden has. It is similar to what Trump did to Biden during a debate in 2020. In that case, though, the lack of muting on the mics left Biden simply saying: “Will you shut up, man?” a comment that resonated with the audience. Giving Biden the enforced space to answer by killing the mic of the person not speaking tonight actually made the technique more effective.”

CNN MUST BE SUED FOR FRAUD AND MISREPRESENTATION. and SUE THE RED MEDIA AND NYT FOR CALUMNY DEFAMATION THE OLD MEME. Trump is OLD, TOO. WHERE ARE TRUMP'S MEDICAL RECORDS. STOLEN? HE IS MORE UNFIT THAN JOE. WE KNOW JOE'S.

They didn't ask about trump's 1/6, MAL, GA, or NY hush money case.
They didn't ask trump one question about project 2025
They didn't ask trump where Melania's been the last 2 years
They didn't ask about E. Jean Carroll/$464M fraud case.

To all the Patchogue grad Class of 1966 who voted for the MAGAS with sincerity, love and assurance...I pray you are reconsidering your stance for 2024 with the track record of the GOP'S vitiation of our constitutional rights, i.e. Roe, affirmative action, voting rights, social security and medicare (under threat) and more.

The defense lawyer in the green tie represents the MAGAS AND GOP. Trump burns their money like it's a renewable resource. What fools.

Cabaret at the Kit Kat Club is important and profound. Critics' snark and blindness dismissing the director's enlightened vision can only be described as willfully obtuse.
