Speaker Pinocchio? [View all]

I was just watching MAGA Mike Johnson on the television set and I could have sworn that his nose started growing. He is so creative with his lies. He states them matter-of-factly. "This war is not a war. It is a military operation."

Furthermore, he says that we had to attack them first because once Israel attacked them, they would have attacked us so it was a preemptive strike.

But it was not a war. We killed their Leader and many of his subordinates and bombed them to oblivion. But it is not a "war".

Because a war would require Congressional approval.

I suppose it all depends on what the definition of the word "is" is?

Finally, his nose grew so long that they had to back up to get a camera shot.
