Trump isn’t lying, he’s bullshitting – and it’s far more dangerous

After Trump administration Press Secretary Sean Spicer rebuked the media for accurately reporting the relatively small crowds at President Donald Trump’s inauguration, senior White House aide Kellyanne Conway told NBC’s “Meet the Press” that Spicer wasn’t lying; he was simply using “alternative facts.”

"Alternative facts" = bullshit.

Not to be confused with "fake news."

Ben Kamisar — Conway: Pelosi reelection shows Dems missed lessons of 2016

Trump's advisers breath a sigh of relief as Democrats chose Establishment leaders Schumer and Pelosi to lead them rather than learning from their defeat. The Democrats have seriously lost the plot.

What a relief. I was worried they had learned from the elections & might be competitive and cohesive again. https://twitter.com/mkraju/status/804002693362700288 …
