Their own truth and their own channel, I reckon. Probably even eating in their own sections at restaurants and not sharing water fountains.

So.  There's a new Fox News Poll that shows 53 percent of registered voters think Trump abused power, and some 48 percent think Trump obstructed congress. 

I'm one of those 48%, having heard time and time again that the White House refused to turn over documents or allow personnel to testify before congress.

So there is Fox News in the "no man's land" between Trump and the general public.  Risking Trump's twitter ire, but trying to also maintain some shred of authenticity.  They'll tell you the "opinion side" hits at either 7 or 8 pm, but really, people like Miss 1 pm and Mr 4 pm, and even the new Mr 3 pm exhibit clear leanings.  The "debate format" has been interesting because, well, as they say themselves, "its train wreck tv", but pitting left and right against one another with a Bill Hemmer or a Harris Faulkner intervening on the side of the conservative isn't a good debate format.  It certainly enforces a certain given worldview, every time.

And the hourly reports about the border crisis.  80 miles of wall solve that?  What happened to the reports, the concern?

As Laura Ingram would say, its "your truth" and not "the truth".  As it was expressed to me recently, relativism or the division and pluralizing of the truth could be called "antirealism".  I have heard the chimes at 9 pm.

And then in the Impeachment "Saga", one side wanting a chance to "tell their story".  A litany of incoherent arguments on both sides, with none seeming capable of firing that silver bullet that makes the case either way, and they are happy with it.

And like any other castles made of sand, election time will wash it all away, as if it were just some kind of strange dream.

Joe Biden's son bought crack?  They said Joe Biden's son smoked crack, though it seems all they have heard about is that he BOUGHT CRACK.  And they want to investigate.  Which has nothing to do with Trump's alleged criminal activity, though nevertheless GOP hedgehogs want to interview Hunter Biden.

Not seeing that its a separate matter, but still insisting for the opportunity to "tell their story".  Hell, "gather 'round y'all".

Their truth.

And the President claimed his "numbers" were way up.  Still under 50%, though, so I suppose Trump's idea of huge is like, what, four points?

So he has his own truth.

And Hunter has his own crack.

But for the procurement, was this of his own issue, for his own private recreation, or disbursement among unsavory counterparts?  Is he trying to overcome some kind of "malaise existentiale"?  Hating his life?  Question in the over-arch brooks that to hate life and indulge in escapism, Duddy Dearest on the campaign trail, what do you think that its the instrument which sticks in his craw that is most chief to him.

As I see it.

Has Rudy talked to a Ukrainian crack dealer?  Maybe even kicked in some doors and marched bravely through drug dens, scouring for the truth?

Could it be, Lucillus, that idleness is the mother of invention?  And all our courage is really but the vapid certitude of an empty brain? I...
