It's such a small thing but it says so much.

The lying is inveterate. It's habitual. Say anything at all -- true or untrue -- so long as it wins you MAGApplause.

And there will be zero price paid for having been caught in such an embarrassing lie.
I tweeted last night accusing Harriet Hageman of lying about the voicemail concession left for her by Liz Cheney. I was wrong. This video from @Olivia_Beavers suggests tech issues may have caused the problem. My apologies.

On Pence and Jan 6 cmte: "When you have the kind of dereliction of duty and likely crimes that were committed here I think everybody who was involved has a responsibility to tell the truth."
More Liz Cheney: "I think there’s a lot that Vice President Pence knows. I think that this is a situation where you do have serious constitutional issues in terms of executive privilege, but executive privilege is not an absolute immunity."

He's right.

After the Biden WH shrugging dismissal of protests targeting homes of SCOTUS justices and Chuck Schumer saying Gorsuch/Kavanaugh will "pay the price" for abortion views - outrageous that House Dems would hold it up.
Schumer: "I want to tell you, Gorsuch. I want to tell you, Kavanaugh. You have released the whirlwind and you will pay the price. You won't know what hit you if you go forward with these awful decisions."

Chief Justice Roberts responded: "Statements of this sort from the highest levels of government are not only inappropriate, they are dangerous."

With Donald Trump's early endorsement, Joe Kent was once a big player in Trump's GOP-on-GOP impeachment-revenge scheme. But his campaign turmoil, flirtation with white nationalists and Putin-friendly rhetoric have complicated those plans. @AudreyFahlberg
thedispatch.com/p/staff-disput…
Kent's current and former campaign managers - Byron Sanford and Ozzie Gonzalez - shared text messages meant to make the other look bad and then accused each other of manipulating the images.
Byron Sanford, Joe Kent's former campaign manager, acknowledged to @AudreyFahlberg sending texts referring to Jews as “fucking kikes,” and writing “heil fucking Kent,” and “allah fucking akbar.”

Dale's Diner in Waterville, Ohio, closed last week. More customers than anytime in its 10-year history. The problem? No applicants for its many job openings.

thedispatch.com/p/we-just-cant…
Bill Anderson, co-owner of Dale's Diner, on worker shortage: “I’ve been in business for 33 years—10 years here, 33 years in Maumee—this is the absolute worst it’s ever been.”
Kevin Rudzki, who runs Juana's Pagodas, a restaurant near Pensacola, FL: “Normally, I have people lined up to work. I have never advertised for a job—ever. People just show up...My competitors are running ads on radio stations, Facebook, etcetera—the same thing. There’s no one.”

For your weekend listening - a fun, insightful and at times intense conservation with @MickMulvaney on: infrastructure, the GOP and spending, the Trump WH, January 6, the evolution of the House Freedom Caucus and post-Trump conservatism. w/@whignewtons

podcast.thedispatch.com/p/mick-mulvane…
Mulvaney: “Spending is a real tough issue for my party b/c while most folks will at least pay lip service to some type of fiscal conservatism, many of them don’t believe it. The rarest thing in DC, in the last 10 years, probably the last 30, has been a true fiscal conservative."
More Mulvaney: "The truth of the matter is that the first two years of the Trump administration, when the Republicans had the House and the Senate, we raised spending faster than the last couple of years of the Obama administration."

The Kracken is Backtrackin'

Lawyers for Sidney Powell, who helped lead pro-Trump post-election conspiracy theorizing, now say “no reasonable person would conclude that [Powell’s] statements were truly statements of fact.”

morning.thedispatch.com/p/the-morning-…
Powell invented and amplified fringe theories, but she was hardly a fringe character. She held press conferences at the RNC, was repeatedly featured on Fox News/Fox Business, worked w/Trump campaign lawyers, met w/Trump himself in the Oval Office as late as December 18.
Among the many problems with her lies is the fact that those outlets who took her seriously and fed her conspiracies to their readers/viewers are unlikely to spend much time covering the fact that she now says they never should have taken her seriously.
