[Blind Gossip] It’s no secret that American politics has become more ugly and divisive than ever.

However, it is interesting that people are always finding new and creative ways to try to make their opponent look bad.

There is a political axiom that you may have heard that goes something like this: “Accuse your opponent of your own sins” or “Accuse the other side of that of which you are guilty.”

Basically, you try to divert attention away from yourself by falsely claiming that it is your opponent who is thinking or doing those bad things.

You should expect a LOT of false rumors to be spread over the next year.

Here is a funny one we just heard about two famous politicians.

We’ll call them Tall and Short. Because they are.

Of course, height does not equate to brain power or leadership ability. However, politicians know that taller people tend to look more in command on the debate stage.

There is a rumor going around that Short may have ordered special shoes to make himself look taller, as shoe lifts can give a man 1-3 additional inches in height. 

Check out Tom Cruise’s shoes.

OK, those lifts may not have helped him Tom as much as he hoped they would, but you get the point.

Back to Tall and Short.

Now, we don’t know if Short actually ordered any shoe lifts or heel lifts or elevator shoes.

What is more interesting is that those who hate Tall have decided to divert the rumors away from Short… and attribute those exact same rumors to Tall!

They are going to spread a rumor that [Tall] is so insecure about his own height and so scared of [Short] that he has been ordering boxes and boxes of special shoes with lifts in them to make himself appear even taller.

They will swear that they have a friend or relative who personally took the order or personally made the delivery to [Tall]. Someone will mock up some receipts or labels or boxes to “prove” this happened.

Of course it’s dumb. But some gullible people will believe the story and spread it because they want to believe it’s true!

There are those who will try to conspiracy theory and shoe lift and Pizzagate the heck out of everything this election.

Think for yourselves, people!

    This is that * Bloomy worrying about POTUS Trumps height, which he should. Trump is a tall one and he uses that to his advantage. I used to love to watch him tower over Kim Jong Un.

    Weird conspiracy is Michelle Obama is actually a man, Michael Obama. Not sure as it could be exactly that.

  2. parkland45 says

    Bloomberg is not short. He’s average height for an American male. I’d like to have a president who’s:1. smart 2. diplomatic.

  3. Baileygirl says

    Short is Bloomberg.
    Who isTall on the Democrat side?
    When I was little my brother and his friend told me that Fritos were made of snake skin! Talk about a dumb rumor!

  6. magi1228 says

    Tall: Trump
    Short: Bloomberg
    Conspiracy: Ted Cruz is the Zodiac Killer. (He was 3 when Zodiac was active)

  22. Riley831 says

    Trump
    Bloomberg

    Russia getting Trump elected. Not only the dumbest but the longest…3 years and some still believe it.

    • Mama Bear says

      Taracu? They have shown ZERO proof at all of anything against Trump.

      You say they did? What is the proof? The whole of Washington, Democrats and Media sure have not produced one shred of evidence. So? Tell us the ‘proof’????

    • butwhatever says

      Russia wanted to hurt Hillary and help Trump. They spent millions on internet ads, trolls and botnets, plus Manafort gave them polling data they could use to target their ads. No, Mueller did not find evidence that Trump himself WORKED WITH Russia, but Russia’s preference was no secret. Trump asked them to help. They did. He won a close election. And now Trump acts subservient to Putin.

      Definitely not the dumbest conspiracy I’ve ever heard.

  25. CaintGetEnuff says

    Tall: Trump
    Short: Biden
    Well this one is pure silly, but I think the worst is that Hillary Clinton, Nancy Pelosi, George Bush, and more, kidnap babies and small children for the purpose of abusing and frightening them to get their adrenaline up before eating their organs, especially their brains! Who thinks up this stuff?!?

  27. bertwheeler says

    Trump
    Pete
    “Paul is Dead” is still the stupidest of my lifetime. And people still believe it.

  28. badgerette85 says

    First thought
    Tall – Biden
    Short- Bloomberg.

    I don’t believe Sanders would fall for this and the other short possibly could be Buttigieg.

    Op- bigfoot sightings. Why are photos always so fuzzy in a hi tech era???

  29. mamacita says

    Bloomberg lying about trump. So stupid, but some will believe anything bad that they can about Trump. Pretty sad really.

  31. amagod121 says

    Tall = Trump

    Short = Tom Styer, who is 5’8 1/2″ and petty enough to do that.

    Pizzagate is pretty feckin weird.

    • MinnieMe says

      Steyer and Bloomie will just put wads of hundred $ bills in their shoes to make them look taller.

      Bloomie is 5’6″. Steyer is 5’8″ . mayor Pete is 5’8″. Biden is 6′. President Trump is 6’2″.

  35. zc13450 says

    Tall: Biden

    Shirt: Mayor Pete

    My current favorite conspiracy theory is that Avril Lavigne died years ago and was replaced with a lookalike.

  37. rorythedragon says

    This is straight out of the Bill Ayers playbook. It only works when people are asleep and don’t think for themselves.

    Tall: POTUS
    Short: Bloomberg

    Wildest Conspiracy? That Epstein killed himself

    • RobinBanks says

      Epstein was too vain, arrogant, selfish and cowardly to actually take his own life. Do I believe he wanted the easiest way out of a bad situation he knew he couldn’t buy himself of again? Yes. At the thought of facing life in prison and losing tons of his precious money, I do believe he preferred death. But I doubt it was by his own hand.

  38. sff060512 says

    Tall is Trump
    Short is Bloomberg

    No particular conspiracy theory comes to mind, just funny there’s always at least a small bit of truth to all of them usually.

  39. Gerseychick says

    President Trump and Little Mikey Bloomberg………Bloomberg has NO Chance……..When he was Mayor he banned big sodas in New York City…..Trump will win by big numbers…..

  40. omgimbackagain says

    Trump and Bloomberg, but now Bloomberg (short) is fat-shaming Trump. This is all so childish.

    There are some conspiracy theories that I believe are actually true.

  41. rexczarina says

    Tall: Trump

    Short: Bloomberg

    The dumbest conspiracy I’ve ever heard is hands down anyone that believe The Protocals of the Elders of Zion.

    • TruePatriot says

      That’s why I found that entire impeachment debacle ridiculous – when that British woman mentioned this in her testimony… I howled with laughter. Is she serious?

  42. BooStrawberry says

    ‘Think for yourselves, people!’ Yes! Thanks for this BG! Many today follow others. They vote/act/react based on what others say/do/tweet, etc & have no idea who/what for/why/consequences they vote/act/react for. Then complain why this/why that. It’s you’re with us or you’re ‘racist, fascist, etc.’ It’s scary how aggressive, belligerent, violent some get when others express their own opinion/disagree. The loudest are not the majority. See what is true for yourself!

  43. stillmb says

    Well, Pete is short, but he’s not the kind of guy who would wear such shoes or accuse someone of such a silly thing. Pete is all business 24/7.

    • blubelle says

      Obvious? Trump is 6’3”. Say what you will about his politics, but he is a tall man.

      Mike Bloomberg is 5’8”… I don’t know if he wears lifts, but he is short.

  48. munkeemunkee says

    Tall: Trump
    Short: Bloomberg

    Dumbest conspiracy? The “golden showers” dossier. Silly!

    • trivialtime says

      I can’t find photos of Bloomberg’s lift shoes, only him barefoot in tasseled loafers. Must be a hamptons thing.
