Good Night Nurse…
We are now in that curious place as votes are now being cast, where irretrievable “facts” come to light in election campaigns’ disinformation.
The Conspiracy Theory Machine (CTM) factory in this cycle has been automated because the time and motion people just couldn’t count the digital processes that blew smoke up their skirts.
We have entered the Twilight Zone with Armrest Trutherism
Here come the armrest truthers.
On Wednesday, Donald Trump spokeswoman Katrina Pierson fired off an unusual defense of the candidate, who was accused in The New York Times of raising the armrest of a first-class seat in order to grope a female passenger next to him more than 30 years ago.
Pierson told CNN’s Don Lemon that the incident couldn’t have happened as described because the armrests on planes back then didn’t move.
“Guess what? First-class seats have fixed armrests!” she said. “So what I can tell you about her story, if she was groped on a plane, it wasn’t by Donald Trump and it certainly wasn’t in first class.”
Along with claiming the armrests were fixed ― which was not always the case in every first-class configuration at the time ― Pierson noted that certain aircraft didn’t even fly to New York in the early 1980s.
Aviation enthusiasts quickly debunked her:
While traveling by airliner, Bob Wilson thinks he sees a gremlin on the wing. Bob tries to alert his wife and the flight crew to the gremlin's presence, but every time someone else looks out of the window, the gremlin leaps out of view, so Bob's claim seems outlandish. His credibility is further marred because this is his first flight since his nervous breakdown six months earlier, which also occurred on an aircraft. Bob realizes that his wife is starting to think he needs to go back to the sanitarium, but his bigger concern is that, if nothing is done about the gremlin, it will damage the airliner and cause it to crash. He sees the gremlin tinker with the wiring under one of the engine cowlings.
