All this ^^^ and then Trump's followers will try to justify and excuse everything Trump says and does until things go to hell in a hand basket. Just remember the GWB followers and how they justified everything he did including the Iraq war. Later, they no longer wanted to discuss GWB, saying that he is no longer president.

Why do you support Trump? I'm genuinely curious.
LOL. yea you gotta come up with something.


here are the Bengazi facts. It was attacked by terrorists. The US government knew immediately what had happened. more than a week after, Obama sent his national security advisor out to the sunday talk shows to put the blame on a "protest gone bad" over a video disparaging Muhammad.


He did that because he was running for re-election and he didn't want a terror attack to cast a shadow on his campaign. He LIED to get elected.


YOU still don't care.


that has nothing to do with 9/11 where no one lied.

I don't see that definition listed with Merriam-Webster anywhere.

Since a "fact" is a piece of information presented as having objective reality, can you explain how there can be "alternative facts"?
again, you are trying to use some notion that 'truthfulness" matters.


it doesn't.


truth has never mattered to those of you on the left. Those of us on the right have just decided to use the standard you people play by. get over it. you aren't owed the truth because you don't deserve the truth.
start caring when the media lies and when your own side lies... then maybe we can talk.

But "it's not a big deal." LMAO!
Blame the whole ridiculous controversy on the orange clown, he is the one that can't let it slide.....For Trump it IS a big deal...Gotta feed that yuge ego ya know....

sorry my PokeGo friend, not gonna get into that with you.


bottom line, we have a people on the left making some grewat deal out of what they call "lies" when in fact, lies only matter when the OTHER side is lying. when their side (your side?) lies it just doesn't matter.




well, here is the thing, no progressive voters have gotten the hint. we are playing the game by the same set of rules the left plays by. buckle up. this might get painful

I am not on either "side". Both sides are full of sh** as should be obvious to any person of middling or above intellect by the flaming piles of garbage they presented as presidential candidates. This time, your dumb a$$ hypocritical side beat the other dumb a$$ hypocritical side, so now you get the lions share of scrutiny.

You appear to think that someone else you disagree with being a hypocritical jackass makes it justified for you to also be a hypocritical jackass. You also appear to operate on troll logic "If that group I don't like doesn't like something it MUST be good!". Well those are bottom of the internet trash barrel modes of thinking, and if you think injecting more of it into the political discourse than there already is a good idea is then you are dumber than I gave you credit for. Well maybe not dumb - you could also just be maliciously devoted to partisanship past the point where you care about what is true and what isn't.

Kellyanney Conway's campaign sure put down the Hillary Clinton campaign machine. In fact it made a mockery of Robby Mook's $1.3B campaign.

This speaks to what the woman knows. And that does speak for itself.
Yeah, the woman knows something alright... she knows how to lie and lie and lie.

First of all, I'm not a liberal. I won't hold my breath that you'll actually provide an intelligent answer, since you can't use your "Yeah, but liberals" card, now.

Secondly, thanks for re-affirming what many think about some (or more) Trump supporters.

You should apply for a cabinet position with Trump. You're good at not providing a straight answer to a simple question and instead babbling on, half-incoherently.


The bold part: I hope everyone picked up on this poster effectively admitting to not telling the truth...and being okay with that.
