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.

He's the Little Boy Who Cried, "Deep State!".

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.

Yep, you stupid MAGAts will believe anything Trump says, despite all evidence to the contrary.

We're there.

#12 | Posted by fresno500 at 2025-08-28 04:50 AM

So we have 2 sides who can't be believed...and wala, American politics.

There you go again ... Both sides blah blah blah ...

There are not "two sides" to reality.

There is no such thing as "alternate facts".

There is the truth then there are lies. Then there are damn lies.

You have clearly chosen to believe the damn lies because your gut tells you they must be true.

Despite all evidence contrary.

Is there an echo in here?

-So we have 2 sides who can't be believed...and wala, American politics.

I don't know if I would say "can't".

They aren't...that's for sure.

Kamala Harris couldn't beat an outright bully, racist, rapist pig.

And that's because a lot of folks didn't believe or trust her. Not enough to show up and vote against her opponent.

- because a lot of folks didn't believe or trust her.

And, perhaps, a lot of folks just wanted to blow up the building because they didn't like it, and were so frustrated they didn't care what happened.... of thought they didn't.

We'll be fighting in the streets
With our children at our feet
And the morals that they worship will be gone
And the men who spurred us on
Sit in judgement of all wrong
They decide and the shotgun sings the song

I'll move myself and my family aside
If we happen to be left half-alive
I'll get all my papers and smile at the sky
For I know that the hypnotized never lie
Do you?
Yeah

You do this "b-b-b-but BIDEN!!" every single time.

I hope that old man lives long enough to recognize how much he is loathed for participating in the Gaza genocide.

Such as how the late Feinstein voted in the Patriot act provision that allows three Trump sycophants to denote "what is a terrorist group" aka Demonrats.

Miller was recently on MSM spouting exactly that - the Democrat party is a terrorist organization.

You really should start believing your ------- eyes, bro.

Ultravox - Hymn

Give us this day
All that you showed me
The power and the glory
'Til my kingdom come

Give us this day
All that you showed me
The power and the glory
'Til my kingdom comes

Give me all the
Storybook told me
The faith and the glory
'Til my kingdom comes

And they say that in our time
All that's good will fall from grace
Even saints would turn their face
In our time

And they told us that in our days
Different words said in different ways
Have other meaning from he who says
In our time

Give us this day
All that you showed me
The power and the glory
'Til my kingdom comes

Give me all the
Storybook told me
The faith and the glory
'Til my kingdom comes

And they say that in our time
We would reap from their legacy
We would learn from what they had seen
In our time

And they told us that in our days
We would know what was high on high
We would follow and not defy
In our time

Give us this day
All that you showed me
The faith and the glory
'Til my kingdom comes

Faithless in faith
We must behold the things
We see

Give us this day
All that you showed me
The faith and the glory
'Til my kingdom come

Give us this day
All that you showed me
The power and the glory
'Til my kingdom comes

Give me all the
Storybook told me
The faith and the glory
'Til my kingdom comes

Give us this day
All that you showed me
The power and the glory
'Til my kingdom comes

The truth isn't the point. "Winning" is the point. Even if it costs them their fortunes and their sanity and their lives
