Great article, aptly titled, "Trump Lies and Lies and Lies Again." And they don't mince words.
"But the Republican Party, the media and voters cannot pretend that Mr. Trump is a normal candidate. Mr. Trump is pathologically dishonest and morally bankrupt. How many more lies will he tell before the week is over? Republicans who care about their integrity should be counting along with us."
Man, I bet Republicans are working behind the scenes trying to figure out a way to dump this albatross before he takes the whole party down beneath the muck that is Donald Trump.
I am so, so glad he's no longer getting away with his lies. The press was complicit for too long. Looks like the honeymoon is over.
Donald Trump accused Hillary Clinton on Wednesday of being corrupt, zeroing in at one point on a lavish present she received from the Asian nation of Brunei when she was secretary of state. But the presumptive Republican nominee mischaracterized the way U.S. government officials handle gifts from foreign sources, and there’s no evidence that she kept the item in question for herself.
In fact, a review of government records reveals that the former first lady kept just two of the many presents she received from non-U.S. sources during her time as President Obama’s top diplomat.
Trump’s accusation came in a wide-ranging speech attacking Clinton as unfit for the White House.
“Hillary Clinton accepted $58,000 in jewelry from the government of Brunei when she was secretary of state plus millions more for her foundation,” he charged. “The sultan of Brunei has pushed oppressive Sharia law, including the punishment by death and stoning if you happen to be gay.”
Because U.S. law requires government officials to report gifts worth more than $375 and since the list of presents from foreign sources is made public, it’s fairly easy to figure out what Trump was talking about. It appears that he was referring to a gift Clinton received on Sept. 7, 2012.
One day Trump is for partial birth abortions, another day he is against all abortions
One day Trump watches porn videos with Melania next day he tells us he reads the Bible & questions Hillary's faith
One day Trump he will lower taxes, next day he says he will increase them
One day Trump supports gays rights, another day he is pandering to conservative Christians
One day Trump hates corporations that outsource jobs, the same day his products are being manufactured in China
TRUMP: "We are one of the highest taxed nations in the world."
THE FACTS: This repeated claim by Trump is wrong. The U.S. tax burden is actually one of the lowest among the 34 developed and large emerging-market economies that make up the Organization for Economic Cooperation and Development.
Taxes made up 26 percent of the total U.S. economy in 2014, according to the OECD. That's far below Sweden's tax burden of 42.7 percent, Britain's 32.6 percent or Germany's 36.1 percent. Only three OECD members had a lower figure: Chile, South Korea and Mexico.
Trump vs Clinton - Trump wins by a landslide (number of lies told, that is.....)......
