  Sorry, boys, the Big Lie just doesn't work any more!

  "Bob the Tomato", "just wondering", it's almost a waste of my time to refute two obvious, anonymous Republican trolls such as yourselves - but for some reason I have no patience for sleazy Republican liars any more.

  Unlike you two trolls, I can back up what I say with evidence.

  I'm sure you two liars won't click on those links, so here's the text from the Wikipedia link:

  At the beginning of each presidential term, it is traditional for anyone occupying a "political office" to turn in a signed letter of resignation. For example, when President George W. Bush took office in 2001, he received the resignations from 91 of 93 sitting U.S. attorneys.[66] A political office is generally considered one that the occupant "serves at the pleasure of the President." If there is a new President from a different party, it is expected that all of the resignations would be accepted.[67] The attorneys are then replaced by new political appointees, typically from the new President's party.[68] Presidents Reagan and Clinton immediately dismissed all 93 US attorneys when they came to office.

  Emphasis added, of course, so you two can't claim to have been suddenly struck blind.

  As is abundantly clear to anyone who doesn't have a terminal inability to recognize the truth even when it bites them in the ass, Reagan, Clinton, and Bush II got rid of all or nearly all US attorneys at the beginnings of their first terms. But don't let a little thing like the truth stop you from gabbling your lies over and over and over.

  Keep hoping that it will work, boys. But I don't think it will. Looks like the American people have seen through your line of BS, and the time has come for a reckoning...
