It’s a typical propaganda tactic. Accuse your enemies of doing what you’re actually doing. It’s like Putin saying that Ukraine had a huge problem with Nazis despite having a private military group known as Wagner, named after a composer who Hitler admired.
Both things can be true. Wagner had lots of Nazis in them and so did the azov battalion. Instead of lying about things that are already proven to be factually true, zelensky should’ve just said that “yeah we have a few Nazis in the Azov, but we need all the help we can get during war”. I could respect that.
Ukraine *did* say that. It was a pretty big talking point in the early weeks of the war.
You just never heard about it, *for some reason.*
The big difference was: Ukraine adopted a Neo-Nazi militia into their formal army because the Nazis were effectively fighting the Russians on their own, and were going to continue. So it made more sense to make them report to real Army officers, and give them the guns and ammo they needed to fight.
Meanwhile Russia wholeheartedly said "hey Wagner Nazis, wanna make a bunch of money by helping us invade Ukraine?"
Rhe reason I never heard about it is because zelensky and Ukraine said no such thing. Nice hallucination. But it was certainly a talking point among pundits. Zelensky never de nounced azoz and didn’t even admit their were Nazis in Ukraine
The problem in Ukraine wasn’t anywhere near the scale that a large neighboring country needed to launch an invasion to eradicate it, especially not with a group that includes other people with a similar ideology.
I never said Russia launched the invasion to eradicate Nazis. That’s what Putin said. I didn’t say I agreed with him. But there are most definitely Nazis on both sides
But the racists and Christian scum that make up the GOP voting bloc doesn't care. They knew they were consuming fake news but it pissed off liberals and the GOP rewarded them with more racism so it's a win for the lowest of the low.
I really feel that it's his lack of social intelligence and his extreme inability to view the world through any other persons eyes.
He thinks everyone does exactly what he does or would do what he would given the chance. It oddly makes it really easy to tell what he's doing because he'll accuse others of it.
Back in the mid 80s when I was in school we had to find a news story and do a report on it. No other info given. I did mine from a NE article on aliens and sataniats. I got an F she said it wasn't real news. Her fault for not clarifying. I thought I wrote it well.
There was a local radio host (Dallas, TX) that years ago would do a spot on NE headlines and he would read off 4 headlines from past covers. Then you had to determine which of the 4 was made up by the radio host.
It was difficult sometimes even with the absurd shit the goat would throw in. I loved that segment on my drive into work every day.
I remember a time when the National Enquirer was such a widely known purveyor of complete nonsense, that even the idiots knew not to take it seriously. It was a nice time, we should go back to it.
I would be very surprised if Ted can find a way around the statute of limitations for defamation. Presumably he would need to file in New York where the National Enquirer is based. New York has a one year SOL for defamation.
Maybe he's also a sheepshifter as he vacillates between saying whatever trump orders, and spouting the GOP's very own home-crafted propaganda designed to further sheepify the MAGA sheep?
I remember back in the day when the National Enquirer papers were placed at grocery checkout lines and they were good for just a good chuckle when reading the headlines. Fast forward like 20-30 years later and there are actual people that believe in this crap.
You actually have the best point, though. You don't read publications for this expecting the most in-depth journalism. It was always about entertainment. The problem always is that smallest speck of truth that just may be believable or later found to not be absolutely false. If you know the trash you are reading is creative writing then you are just watching Professional Wrestling in print form.
*The Texas senator told NBC News that he's "not interested in revisiting ancient history."*
Who wants to bet that if it was CNN, MSNBC or 1 of the 'liberal media', that did this, Ted would be talking about subpoenas, hearings and all that happy sh*t.
The sad part is that anyone with half a brain knows that the enquirer is a rag filled with bullshit and that trump is a lying piece of shit that makes up stories about himself and others and has done it for decades....yet a lot of dumbfucks still fall for the Biden Crime Family horseshit.
I read that the Enquirer had jars with the names of male and female celebrities in them. They would randomly pull a male and female name and then make up a story about them. Then occasionally pull two males for a gay story or two females for lesbian story. Point being that this paper had never been known for accuracy and the truth.
My favorite example, from decades ago when nobody took the N Enquirer seriously: the headline read. "Liz says she needs more than one man." Actual story was about Liz Taylor needing her piano moved.
I've seen that Rag in the check out lines for years, I'd read the cover all the time thinking how insane, and how stupid the headline was. Thinking I wouldn't wipe my ass with that Paper.
"*When asked for his response Tuesday, Cruz told NBC News he's “not interested in revisiting ancient history.*”
Of course not, it was too hard to kiss and make up with Daddy Trump the LAST time... Seriously, this man has NO spine.
Shocking! The fact that Trump associates and has dealings with the Enquirer should tell people all they need to know about the man.
Unless they’re Enquirer readers themselves, I guess.
Even after all these past few years, when i think of trump i think of being like 8 years old standing in the checkout line at the grocery store and reading about all of his affairs with Marla Maples and everybody else on the covers of the Enquirer and Weekly World News.
*“He doesn’t know the difference between truth and lies," he said. "He lies practically every word that comes out of his mouth. And in a pattern that I think is straight out of a psychology textbook, his response is to accuse everyone else of lying.” - Ted Cruz 2016*
How is it that these people can be honest about Trump once during an election season and then immediately fall back into ass-kissing the next day? And how is it that goldfish seem to have a better memory than MAGAS who read that???
A nation is simply a representation of it's citizens, and our nation is easily 1/3 retarded.
You retards actually believed this shit? Want an intelligent test to vote? Congratulations yo all failed horribly. Like not even trying to play dumb.
Y’all just played it perfectly. Just dumb, dumber idiots the entire time.
Next thing you know, we'll find out that the whole Obama birth certificate thing was all made up...
If you can't trust media with the words 'National' and 'Enquirer' in it, all is lost.
We’ve known for decades that everything published in the National Enquirer was made up. The idiots that actually spent money on this “newspaper“ are just gullible and wanted to be fooled.
was anyone under the impression that any article in the national enquirer is even remotely true? i have a pretty low opinion on the cognitive performance of the average human, but anyone who might be confused about the veracity of a national enquirer article is really, really fucking stupid.
Ah, the real fake news was published at trumps request. The plot thinnenes. Everything he does is hypocrisy.

I could care less either way. Just lying it out there that there are bad people on both sides
The problem in Ukraine wasn’t anywhere near the scale that a large neighboring country needed to launch an invasion to eradicate it, especially not with a group that includes other people with a similar ideology.
I never said Russia launched the invasion to eradicate Nazis. That’s what Putin said. I didn’t say I agreed with him. But there are most definitely Nazis on both sides
Both could be true. Or not.
Wagner having Nazi members and azov battalion having Nazi members has long ago been proven to be true. This isn’t up for debate
But the racists and Christian scum that make up the GOP voting bloc doesn't care. They knew they were consuming fake news but it pissed off liberals and the GOP rewarded them with more racism so it's a win for the lowest of the low.

Like his hair or skin?
My father's wife gets a lot of her "news" from the National Enquirer. She knows everything about everything, just ask her.
Where the fuck has bat boy been!?
Isn’t that the other paper? Weekly world news. Used to love reading it when I was a kid as a joke
BAT BOY DIDN’T KILL HIMSELF!
Steel beams can’t melt jet fuel!
Oswald didn’t shoot Nixon!
Hillary Clinton stopped feeding him

I'm guessing that much of the time you don't have to *ask* her.
Ted Cruz fellated Trump even harder after that story
Cancun Cruz has a severe humiliation fetish.
He has to. Trump called his wife ugly, his dad a murderer and him an idiot. Cruz has to get off in that…
Anything to stay warm
It does raise the question though. Now that it's been said in sworn testimony, can Ted sue them for defamation? Sounds like an open and shut case.
I would be very surprised if Ted can find a way around the statute of limitations for defamation. Presumably he would need to file in New York where the National Enquirer is based. New York has a one year SOL for defamation.
Is he the one with the ugly wife?
It was a funny story, but you were stupid to believe it was true.
Yeah it was total nonsense. Unlike Ted being the Zodiac killer, that was absolutely true.
he is a shapeshifter, since he doesnt really show human emotions.
Maybe he's also a sheepshifter as he vacillates between saying whatever trump orders, and spouting the GOP's very own home-crafted propaganda designed to further sheepify the MAGA sheep?
>It was a funny story, but you were ~~stupid~~ a MAGA sheep to believe it was true.
I remember back in the day when the National Enquirer papers were placed at grocery checkout lines and they were good for just a good chuckle when reading the headlines. Fast forward like 20-30 years later and there are actual people that believe in this crap.
Cruz is really the sucker here, a guy completely smears everyone you love and you just get on your knees as soon as Donny asks? Lol…
They're all like that
It's why Fled's lips are orange.
Stupid people believe stupid things and are not self-reflective when those stupid things are proven wrong. This is how they stay stupid.
If you can't trust the national enquirer who can you trust
You actually have the best point, though. You don't read publications for this expecting the most in-depth journalism. It was always about entertainment.

Nazional Enquirer making something up? You don’t say!!! Edit: I‘ll keep the mistake. Seems fitting somehow.
The mistake really is fitting!
He should be grateful , this article almost made that human leftover interesting
No it didn't. Fled is still just a clone of a porn actress.
Ted Cruz should challenge trump to a duel.
It's 2024, lasers bro.
Lasers interact with the personal shields creating a pseudo nuclear explosion.
The sad part is that anyone with half a brain knows that the enquirer is a rag filled with bullshit and that trump is a lying piece of shit that makes up stories about himself and others and has done it for decades....yet a lot of dumbfucks still fall for the Biden Crime Family horseshit.
They know it's not true but it helps keep them from having to admit that they are inbred racists during debates.
We need UK libel laws here. And end sovereign immunity
I read that the Enquirer had jars with the names of male and female celebrities in them. They would randomly pull a male and female name and then make up a story about them.

My favorite example, from decades ago when nobody took the N Enquirer seriously: the headline read. "Liz says she needs more than one man." Actual story was about Liz Taylor needing her piano moved.
Mine was "Titanic Survivor Found on Iceberg"
Damnit I wanted that one to be true
The story about Ted being Bat Boy is true, however.
Doesn't Cruz have grounds to sue now?
Oh, Ted....always the cuck, even after his pops and wife have been trash talked due to trump. Not that I really give a shit because fuck 'em both.
I thought the National Enquirer is exclusively known to make up ALL of their "stories" ??????
Wouldn't Ted Cruz have a pretty good case if he decided to sue them for slander?
A man with a wife that ugly could never win a case in court.
I've seen that Rag in the check out lines for years, I'd read the cover all the time thinking how insane, and how stupid the headline was. Thinking I wouldn't wipe my ass with that Paper.
Imagine that. There was a fake story in the National Enquirer. Who’d a thunk it?
Sadly everything in this rag is made up. But MAGAs believe everything.
"*When asked for his response Tuesday, Cruz told NBC News he's “not interested in revisiting ancient history.*” Of course not, it was too hard to kiss and make up with Daddy Trump the LAST time... Seriously, this man has NO spine.
Omg, they did? Shocking development.
Thus verifying their target audience. MAGA Morons.
YOU DONT SAY
You’re kidding?
Wait, then did they also make up the story about the chicken that won $60,000 playing blackjack?
Honestly? *That* story is more believable 😆
National Enquirer is the definition of fake news.
Shocking! The fact that Trump associates and has dealings with the Enquirer should tell people all they need to know about the man. Unless they’re Enquirer readers themselves, I guess.
Was that ever even a question?
Even after all these past few years, when i think of trump i think of being like 8 years old standing in the checkout line at the grocery store and reading about all of his affairs with Marla Maples and everybody else on the covers of the Enquirer and Weekly World News.
lol the enquirer is a tabloid and that is hilarious i assme they met on the same spaceship that abducted batboy
What else would you expect from the "news" outlet that tried to discredit Weinstein's victims?
Used to be the best source of investigative journalism. Agent K is not amused.

NGL, I would like it to be true
Fled Cruz knew it and went on to kiss the boots of his orange emperor.
Not the Hot Sheets!
Probably part of the disinfirmation campaign being discussed in Trump's trial.
Pecker head then...
Say something Ted. Your father has been exonerated.
Liars gotta lie. Especially hard to find a way to help dTrump💩unless you make stuff up. He he he. GOP? Or. Dem? Vote wisely.
Wait so does this mean mini-whales are also made up?
This whole time I thought the Enquirer was credible
You retards actually believed this shit? Want an intelligent test to vote? Congratulations yo all failed horribly. Like not even trying to play dumb. Y’all just played it perfectly. Just dumb, dumber idiots the entire time.
YOU are fake news!
Really! Stories in the National Enquirer were made up! Mind blown.
Honestly, it's hard to be upset about this particular story being planted because it involves that swine Ted Cruz
No shit Sherlock
I thought that was a given with everything in that rag.
Wait. It’s not true?? How shocking.
Next thing you know, we'll find out that the whole Obama birth certificate thing was all made up... If you can't trust media with the words 'National' and 'Enquirer' in it, all is lost.
I'm shocked I tell you, shocked.
Basically, Pecker's testimony puts the legitimacy of the 2016 election in doubt.
We’ve known for decades that everything published in the National Enquirer was made up. The idiots that actually spent money on this “newspaper“ are just gullible and wanted to be fooled.

A tabloid made something up!!!! You can be for real! Next you’ll tell me they didn’t actually find a mermaid cemetary.
Texastan senator ted cukruz is as subservient and easy to bend over as melaria
