I'm certain they missed a few....dozen. Pretty much when their lips move, it's a lie.

Y'all should start quoting the Daily Kos, Media Matters and all those other "stellar" bastions of investigative journalism...
Man, some will just buy into anything that fits their delusions...

I think this is part of President Bannon's strategy. If you repeat a lie often enough, people start to believe it. The whole idea is to shock, and by issuing so many executive orders in such a short time, it throws people off so that not much time can be spent on the last outrage. President Bannon's views on "blowing up the government" are widely known. Now he's starting to act on it to create chaos, uncertainty and instability.

Minister of Propoganda Kellyanne Conway can look straight into a camera and spout one lie after the other and not flinch. And some people believe her.

The idea is to subvert the three branches of government system so that autocratic rule can be implemented.

Thankfully, the adults in Washington, including Republicans and real conservatives, will start to speak up and end this madness. But a lot of the damage has already been done: business is wary of Bannon, world leaders are repulsed, we've fallen in stature because of the Muslim ban fiasco and the administration's ridiculous "America First" nationalistic jingo.

I do wonder how Paul Ryan and Mitch McConnell can still stand erect, having lost their spines.

Pfft the list is a lie.


You know if you were a Christian in Syria, it was impossible, at least very very tough to get into the United States. If you were a Muslim, you could come in.

Syria



FOX: In 2016, almost as many Christian refugees were admitted as Muslims.


Form all countries.



So your list is lying, not Trump.

thread fail/

All the others are also generally lies.

Yes, you've seen right through the administrations idea of DOING EXACTLY WHAT HE SAID HE'D DO all through his campaign.
Heaven FORBID a person does what they've said for MONTHS they'd do and right fast as well.
I guess for those who've slavishly followed politicians down the rosy path to nowhere land for years this WOULD be a shock!
