It is a sign of just how insane Trump is that he would tell a lie this big that was inevitably going to be fact-checked by the people he is lying about.

The fake assassination attempt is a real thing that Donald also lies about.

That Trump murdered Epstein is a real thing that he also lies about.

Raped and murdered children are real things that Donald also lies about.

He obviously meant Andrew Jackson.

@#1 ... It is a sign of just how insane Trump is that he would tell a lie this big that was inevitably going to be fact-checked by the people he is lying about. ...

Or... insane or a pathological liar?

Lately, I've been leaning more towards the former.

Doesn't matter. Trump supporters love to be lied to.

But I also see something else beside the apparent serial prevarication ...

And that "something else" is the big "why?"

So, for the purpose of this thread, let's presume that Pres trump lies. A lot.

That begs the question ...

Why does Pres Trump seem to find the need to lie to his Constituents to the extent that he seems to do?

The dig was likely W. No way ANYONE believes Obama supported ANY kind of aggression toward Iran. His policy toward Iran was appeasement and empowerment. He loved the mullahs. Even sent them billions in cash on pallets so they could better fund their terror proxies.

It was likely no one. Trump lies about everything and so do you. That money you speak of was not "billions" and was sent as part of a legal settlement through the ICJ. It was Iran's money and had been a frozen asset.

You posting here reminds me that I'm still waiting to hear how much Howard Schultz paid Washington in state income tax like you claimed a few days ago. You said he paid "a lot" but you never said how much. Can you tell us how much "a lot" is?

As far as I can tell, the only reason some of these people post here is because they think they're doing a clever parody of how they perceive "liberals", that they're somehow pwning them by illustrating their "hypocwithy"; but in effect they're acting exactly the regular posters that they loathe. Ditto to many of the partisans on the left here who only exist react to "the other side".

was it clinton,...." not gonna say" = 'yes'

OR as Jessica Tarlov...of all people said....." maybe it was president # 45"

but that's humor..so "you people" won't get it.

Very few people ONLY exist to react to the "other side". You could country on one hand.

What most are reacting to is the constant lies, the ridiculous nonsense and the disinformation and the wierd unAmerican attempts to normalize this fascist hateful administration and it's plethora of lies.
