    If the facts are against you, argue the law. If the law is against you, argue the facts. If the law and the facts are against you, pound the table and yell like hell.

    It’s crazy how she is using words given to her but incorrectly applied them to every instance. She even knows gish galloping! But she doesn’t understand that a person asking one question to talk about one point is the opposite of gish galloping.

      I came to say this!

      A Gish gallop is when you throw out a bunch of false claims right after each other forcing your opponent to refute each one. Explaining the true situation take much longer, and makes you look like you are trying to manipulate facts.

    They would rather keep doubling down than admit they were tricked.

    If the history records make it, the kids will have so many questions about “what happened to them?”

    And we’ll have no good answers
