Liar, Liar, Pants on Fire?

Contemplate these three scenarios:

1. When prosecutors try to put a bad guy behind bars, they use other bad guys for testimony.
2. If a person always lies, then when he says something we like or agree with, he must be lying, right?
3. When we say we believe an enemy and he says something that contradicts what a friend says, we then must believe the enemy.

Three different thoughts, all about lying.  All seen and displayed this week.

Prosecutors do not go after people who are honest and above board in order to gain testimony about illegal acts.  They go after those who are closest to the bad actor, and that often means expecting convicted or accused liars to testify truthfully.  That's exactly what Congress is doing with Cohen.  They KNOW he's a convicted liar.  But go back to September 1963, when Congress had a mobster, convicted of 9 murders, testifying.  They knew what and who he was, but they solicited his testimony anyway because literally, he knew where the bodies were buried.

If Cohen says that Trump did not hit Melania in that elevator, and Cohen always lies, then that must mean logically that Trump DID hit Melania.  Trump supporters need to digest the logic of this.  Either their hero is a wife-beater, or Cohen is capable of telling the truth.  Most Republicans will ignore this conundrum, I suspect.

Trump believes Kim, period.  So if Trump says Kim wanted ALL sanctions lifted, and Kim says he only wanted SOME lifted, then we must believe Kim's account, and not Trump's.  Let's see how (or even IF) Republicans try to spin THAT.

Finally, on a non-political front, our local animal shelter is moving rapidly toward becoming a no-kill shelter.  They now place about 90% of the animals in their care in forever homes.  KUDOS to them!
