Alternative Facts

When someone, specifically the leaders of the United States, tell a flat out lie to convince their supporters of how great they are, but don't want to admit that they are actually total fuck ups and have no idea what they are doing.

A way of phasing a lie that everyone knows to be untrue.
(In regards to the size of Trump's innaguration) Kelly Anne Conway. "Sean Spicer, our press secretary gave... alternative facts to that."

Normal People. "I hate how all Trump does is lie and speak false hoods."
Trump supporters. "He isn't lying, he is just using alternative facts."

Alternative Facts

1. When you know what you're saying is bullshit but you're going to present it as your version of reality anyways even if it is contrary to first hand accounts, photographic evidence, reputable reporting sources, and verifiable numbers given by things such as ticket sales or public transportation data

2. An attempt to gaslight the population in an effort to control the media and create propoganda by substituting something beneficial to the regime instead of reporting verifiable truths that paint a negative light on a subject.
"In an interview on NBC's 'Meet the Press,' host Chuck Todd pressed Trump senior adviser Kellyanne Conway about why the White House on Saturday had sent Spicer to the briefing podium for the first time to claim that 'this was the largest audience to ever witness an inauguration, period.'
'You're saying it's a falsehood. And they're giving -- Sean Spicer, our press secretary -- gave alternative facts,' she said.
Todd responded: 'Alternative facts aren't facts, they are falsehoods.' "

Falls Village, Connecticut

A teensy weensey town located in the magical land of the Housatonic river valley of New England. Only the most magnificent people reside there. It is also the ginger capital of the east coast, and a safe-house to many a red-headed step-child. The town boasts an impressive business district consisting of a liquor store, a weekend cafe and a newly opened general store that will probably close soon because no one actually knows about it. There is also a gas station. It's tourist attractions include an abandoned caboose on Main Street and the world-famous Oreo Cows on the Kellogg farm. Those who hail from this diminutive hamlet stand proud, as there are increasingly fewer of them. The town's population is said to stand at approximately one-thousand, but this number is made up largely of Newyorkers who only own summer homes in the F-Vizzle. They drive poorly and are often silently cussed out by the locals, so they don't really count.

Alternative Facts

The opposite of facts. Historically, alternative facts were reffered to as lies.
Alternative facts, a spin on classical facts, are all the rage in America right now. These so called "facts" will be used repeatedly by republicans, Kellyanne Conway, and trumpsters throughout the presidency of Trump, however long that turns out to be.

fallsburg

Fallburg, NY a town of about 15,000 in upstate NY. Home of Gavin DeGraw the country singer and home of an extremely under funded high school that is a huge waist of time. Home of the infamous Benjamin Cosor Elementary School teachers heroin drug ring. More famously known for its summer Jewish Hasidic vacationers who make the area look like a landfill by the end of August.

If your bored and want to shoot up this is the place, cause the availability is more progressive then the South Bronx. All in all Fallsburg is a slum of whites, spanish, and African Americans that is in desperate need of citizens who aren't on section 8, so they can make at least some tax revenue because the Hasidic avoid that in every aspect as well. And if you just crossed the border and are looking for illegal factory or physical contracting labor this is the nation's capital.
If your looking for a career in an illegal pharmaceutical company, start in Fallsburg and work your way through the the county, why stop there maybe even the country. Wouldn't be the first time.

False Midas Effect

Maybe the idea was cool but after a while it became less about the individuals and more about a sub-clique within itself. That's where the fraying begins, and ends with a false Midas effect where everything touched seems golden but it is never tested to prove its legitimacy, just assumed from a self proclaimed credibility on the characteristics of the element without any more inspection than a glance of an eye, therefore failing to realize the lack in malleability and density of the object: the two most defining characteristics. A misunderstanding of the word "experienced" leads to an underdeveloped, misguided conclusion to the "careful observer's" obliviousness to the actual characteristics of plastic. Even the simplest of observers could make out the words, "Made in China", on the back, but a lack in perspective showed the masked issue at literal face value.
