The Natural Endpoint of Trump's Falsehoods

Someday, the president may need the American people to believe something he says"and they won't.

Anne Applebaum chronicled how modern-day authoritarians in countries such as China and Russia erode truth, not by convincing people to believe lies but by just wearing them down with so many:

"This tactic"the so-called fire hose of falsehoods -- ultimately produces not outrage but nihilism. Given so many explanations, how can you know what actually happened? What if you just can't know? If you don't know what happened, you're not likely to join a great movement for democracy, or to listen when anyone speaks about positive political change. Instead, you are not going to participate in any politics at all."

Whenever Trump, a practiced professional liar, opens his pie hole my immediate reaction is, "Here comes another one."
And if you ever bother to fact check that blubbery boor, you'd know why.
It's called "credibility."
Once you lose it, it's gone, baby, gone.
Ask the shadow of LBJ how important that is for a president.

Everything Trumpy says is wrapped in a lie. I don't believe a damn thing this lying creepy criminal wannabe dictator says without verification from at least two reliable sources.

Considering you DR lib kids completely ignored the plethora of lies and misstatements made by Biden and other prominent Dems, it stands to reason that Dems aren't every believed either. So we have 2 sides who can't be believed...and wala, American politics. Glad some of you are finally realizing how bad it is. Just wait until you realize this has been going on for decades.

HumTrig is proud to have swallowed all 30,000 lies from his child-raping idol.

Credibility is something earned.

He hasn't earned on bit.

His cabinet is all a bunch of suck ups and ass kissers.

They all lie consistently about items both big and small.

After 1/6 he had zero credibility. After the pardons of the cop killers from 1/6 he had less.

His promise of tax free social security, tips, overtime was a lie.

His promise of lowering prices....another lie.

His promise of ending Ukraine and Gaza wars on day one....more lies.

His ear...more lies.

His promise to release the epstein files....more lies.

His promise to not cut medicare or medicaid...more lies.

This entire presidency has just been one massive corrupt grift after another and the only end in sight is him assuming room temperature which must be soon on the horizon the way he talks about wanting to get into heaven. His entire life has been lies, stealing, adultering, raping, sexual assaulting, kid diddling, cheating etc. He has broken every single one of the ten commandments many many times over. He has hatred in his greed driven heart. Something about the eye of the needle applies to him.

The bruising on his hands, the cankles, can't walk a straight line, etc... he is decomposing in front of the cameras.

Wala (sic)?

Every time I need a reminder of "how bad things are", HUMTAKE, I consider your fatuous, cynical moralizing.

Trump said he didn't collude.
Left screams "Lie!"
Trump said the laptop wasn't Russian.
Left screams "Lie!"
Trump said Schiff was lying about evidence.
Left screams 'Lie!"

You get the point.
