This happened. Trump and many in his administration lied to us for months, on multiple occasions.
I expected that Trump was lying, so I'm just a bit annoyed at this stage.
But if I had been lied to for months, by multiple people, and believed them, only to find out it was a massive lie; I'd be livid, with them and even more with myself.

Fool me once, shame on you...
Scaramucci has a certain charm. I so hope he gets another turn at being Press Secretary. That man can flat sell a lie.

Well, yes it's true. Now, on to a car chase.

Too damn funny.

That is incredible. And my guess is that Fox News/Hannity fans just sit there shaking their heads in agreement with whatever he says, even if it changes dramatically within 60 seconds.

- President Trump is sexy
- Senator Duckworth is pregnant
- Thank You Trump
- How do we deal with the screaming whiners
- Do women want sympathy for their poor choices?

Meanwhile the hilarious story about the Gugenheim offering Trump a golden toilet was deleted twice. It's like our version of that Hannity video.
Despite the valiant efforts of the mods, this forum is overrun with such threads.

Apparently, the goal is to bury discussions of actual issues.

This forum is sort of a lower-common-denominator type of forum. It's easy to post and create new topics, whether they're based on real news or fake news - which is perfect for Trump supporters and the base of today's GOP.

The only thing un-American here is you, and all the other Trumpanistas, and Trump.

You know, I can’t lie. I like the kid! He does have a certain charm.

Prior to that, it was Tillerson resigning (seen that one about 20 times).
Before - Ivanka was 'shopping' for someone to replace Kelly.
Mixed in there was also Wilbur Ross resigning.
Before that, another Tillerson one.
...and on and on and on...

EVERY one of these Leftist-generated 'palace intrigue' stories are LIES -- pure FakeNews made up entirely in Leftist newsrooms - with ZERO 'sources.'

Mueller and his crew of Deep State coup plotters are about to be exposed trying to overthrow a duly elected President. #ReleaseTheMemo

^All within about 40 minutes. You seem upset, Love.

Honestly, many of your posts are contradictory. Do you believe the reporting is true, yet within Trump’s right? Or, do you believe the reporting is a lie? It’s hard to make sense of your flurry of posts.

"Trump met with Lavrov and Kislyak in the Oval Office on May 10, the day after he fired James Comey as FBI director. Trump told the Russians that he had "faced great pressure" as a result of the investigation into Russia's interference in the 2016 US election — and whether the Trump campaign colluded with Moscow — that Comey was leading, calling him "crazy" and "a real nut job."

(Trump then passed on classified intelligence the U.S. received from Israeli intelligence and even told them the Syrian city where the information was gathered, putting sources in danger. But that's a story for another time.)

New details about Trump's Oval Office meeting with Russians - Business Insider

Next he tells Lester Holt in an NBC interview that Comey is a "grandstander" and that he made the decision to fire Comey regardless of his staff's recommendation because of "this Russia thing."

https://www.realclearpolitics.com/vi...ster_holt.html

Now we learn (though Mueller has likely known for a while) that in June, Trump told WH Counsel McGahn to fire Mueller and McGahn refused.

Not sure the testimony of those he pressured to bring the Congressional inquiries to a halt will be needed for an obstruction of justice charge.

Lordy, I hope there are tapes.
