\nOne of the standard tricks lawyers use at trial is to show that a witness has lied about something, then argue \u201cWe know that she lied about X so we know she\u2019s a liar \u2013 what else has she lied about?\u00a0 Why should we believe anything she says?\u201d<\/span><\/p>\n
\u00a0<\/span>Remember all the Liberals who promised to move to Canada, or to quit their federal jobs, or to abide by the results of the election<\/span>?\u00a0 T<\/span>urns out they were lying about that.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n
\u00a0<\/span>What else have Liberals been lying about?\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n
\u00a0<\/span>Why should I believe anything they say?<\/span><\/p>\n
\u00a0<\/span>To be fair, Liberals never promised to abide the results of the election. \u00a0They demanded that Trump do so, and when he declined they claimed that was a direct repudiation of 240 years of tradition, constituted banana republic thinking, that he was attempting to start a civil war. \u00a0But they never said that the same standard would ever apply to them. \u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n
\u00a0<\/span>Rule No. 4 of Saul Alinsky\u2019s \u2018Rules for Radicals\u2019 says: \u201cMake the enemy live up to its own book of rules.\u201d\u00a0 Great \u2013 but what if they don\u2019t acknowledge any?\u00a0 What if their only rule is \u201cHeads we win, tails you lose?\u201d<\/span><\/p>\n
