Trump LIED. He LIES ALL THE TIME. Wake up, people. Good lord.
Do you remember during the election when Trump's supporters complained that they were being portrayed as ignorant and dumb. After reading some of the posts from people who are obviously Trump supporters, one would have to admit that the portrait was really very accurate.

To be fair, there are idiots on all sides.

I was talking to a friend the other day, because he was watching one of those Youtube videos where they interview some Hillary Clinton supporter, who is an idiot, and then present that person as if they are typical.


Usually the names on those videos are something like, "Liberals are idiots".


The same thing happens with Trump supporters. And it only takes a couple people, out of hundreds, or thousands, and for Trump's detractors, they are representative of all his supporters.


Beyond that, I think when you agree with someone, you hold them to a different standard than when you disagree with them.


Basically, if you agree with someone, you'll say, "Well he didn't say it well, but I understand what he meant, and he was right".

If you don't agree with someone, you often turn into a Grammar-Nazi, looking for fault in every word they say, assuming that, since they disagree with you, they must be stupid, naive, uneducated, irrational, etc.


I mean, if your worldview came from your immense experience, knowledge, and logic; Then if someone doesn't share your worldview, they must be lacking in one, if not all.

What else could it be?

That statement probably cost her the election.

What exactly is a deplorable? And who gets to set the standard here?


I mean, by my standard, the leftist "protesters" have been pretty deplorable ever since Trump won the election. And to a Christian, the political-left is overloaded with degenerates.

The champion who didn't have the balls to follow through on two huge occasions, if not more.

F the fbi and C the cia and erase the Epa and audit the irs, sue the doj, and let's stop letting the losers in Congress, D.C., etc. waste another taxpayer's dime.

They all lie.


Barack H. Obama is a liar's liar.


'You can keep your doctor and keep your health plan if you like it.".


Hillary Clinton: "We dodged gunfire getting off that plane".


Remember these?

Yep. We already know Clapper lied about it this past weekend. Not the first time Clapper lied to Congress and/or the public. Seems Comey lied about this, as well.
