Trump is still breaking new ground in ridiculous 2020 denialism - The Washington Post
This instantly fails the smell test. A fifth of voters said they voted in a state where they no longer live? About 6 in 10 Americans have never moved out of the states in which they were born. Half of the rest, we are meant to believe, committed an obvious form of election fraud three years ago.
Without, I'll add, being detected by any authority or by any of the thousands of people who, eager to prove Trump right, have been looking for examples of fraudulent voting. Those professional and amateur sleuths have also somehow not found evidence showing that 1 in 12 absentee voters — millions of people! — were offered cash for their votes. This would seem like it might leave a trail...

Opinion | As climate catastrophes multiply, Republicans rethink denialism - The Washington Post
…But there were just a couple of small problems with the resulting two-pager put out by the House GOP "Energy, Climate, & Conservation Task Force."

Denialism: Not Just For Climate Change Anymore!
I thought that President Trump might lay off the climate denial on his recent trip to California while fires across the West were still burning and bodies were still being recovered. I thought wrong.
When Trump was being politely pushed to acknowledge that climate change is part of the wildfire equation, he immediately spouted his usual nonsensical climate denials. Not only is he anti-science, he is clearly anti-empathy.
Climate scientists have correctly predicted wildfires would increase in frequency and severity. Having woken up to dark orange Martian skies and ash falling from the largest fires in California history, climate change is real and only doubted by crackpots like Trump and other (mostly Republican) dinosaurs.
The one awful silver lining is that the smoke from wildfires in California, Oregon and Washington spread all the way across the United States. It’s a lot easier to be worried about climate change when its effects block out the sun and fill your nostrils. Let’s hope some smoke made it into the White House, Congress and Fox News headquarters.....
