In today's America politicians routinely deny reality and make demonstrably false claims designed to discredit facts that don't align with their stated (albeit not necessarily honestly held) positions, beliefs, or values. Form trumps substance in a land where wealth and winning at any cost are are the only rulers by which the citizens measure competence.

So you can plan on hearing and seeing lots of bullshit followed by more of the same.
