Hym "No. No fuck-face. I saw a teachable moment. AND WHAT DID WE LEARN? Because I don't know. I'm not the lesson learner here. You sure as hell didn't learn to tell the truth. THAT'S THE LESSON! Lie your ass off... And withhold the truth... So you can pretend to be better then the guy to whom you are lying... That's it. I think we found it."

Ratfucker
Brought to public attention by Bob Woodward and Carl Bernstein in the book on the fall of Richard Nixon, All The President’s Men, ratfucker was Nixon’s term for a political operative who sows chaos among opponents; an agent provocateur. It is thought to have originated among campus political rivalries at USC, and seems to have some usage in the US military.
Along with Nixon’s other ratfuckers, Roger Stone caused fights at otherwise peaceful Democratic Party protests to generate a false narrative that the Democrats were violent and dangerous.
