A figure's lies or lawbreaking are said to be so routine they mark the calendar: it must be a day ending in Y.

β οΈ A story people tell, not a claim that it's true.
A motif is the shape of a story as its tellers tell it, named the way a folklorist names a tale type, so the same story told about other people, by the other side or in another year lands in the same place. Some of the claims below are true, many are false. Arguing against a story is often a story of its own, its answer (Voter fraud is answered by Voter suppression, Lawfare by No one is above the law), and we file it there; where no answer has a motif yet, the arguments against a story sit with its tellings.
ποΈ Who it came up with
the shows we follow where its claims came up (1 left-leaning, 0 center, 0 right-leaning so far), colored by the show's lean; the bar is how many of its claims each one heard
- left-leaning
"Came up on" means one of its claims was heard on the show: told, reported or argued against. We don't yet mark which. Show leans are our own grouping of the shows we transcribe.
π£οΈ In so many words
the words that carry it
π¬ the tellers' own words: βIf it's a day ending in "y" then you can be confident Trump is lying!β βItβs a day ending in Y and Trump is lyingβ βMust be a day that ends in a "y".β βSurprised by any of this? Not surprised at all.β βThis is yet another illegal action that Donald Trump is takingβ
π§Ά Its claims
what's been told in this shape, in our words, by who told it: newest first in each; a claim's dots are the shows it came up on, in their lean's color (point at them for their names)
