It is hard to imagine that an ex mayor of New York and U.S. Attorney, Rudy Giuliani, does not know the difference in meaning between the words opaque and transparent.

What was it he said the other day? "Big words, your honor."

Shocking.

Maybe all the booze and cigars add up in your system and eventually make you stupid or forgetful?

Or perhaps it is a matter of a structural cognitive failure like dementia? 

Sad, the guy used to be pretty sharp once upon a time, or I thought so anyway, now he is sort of a cartoon version of himself. Probably past time to be put out to pasture.

Fact check from WaPo:

“ ‘In Wisconsin, somebody has to be indefinitely confined in order to vote absentee. In the past there were 20,000 people. This past election there were 120,000...and Republicans were locked out of the vote counting process.’ @VicToensing @newsmax”

— President Trump, in a tweet, Nov. 24, 2020

Every part of this is false, proving once again why none of Trump’s claims about election fraud should be given any credence.
