My kids have done those DNA tests. They both have 0.2 percent Native American DNA. My wife and I have no idea where in the family tree that came from.

I thought he was supported because of his candor? Now he tells "white lies". Ah, okay. One needs mental waders to walk through the sea of mistruths he spews out every day. He lies about his lies. He lies about lying about his lies. Yes he's a showman. He is the King of Falsehood. He's a Con Man. Perhaps the most mediocre President this country has ever elected. We deserve more.

Warren on the other hand tells lies to further herself and her party. She is a typical politician that will tell us to our faces how great her new policy is all the while knowing that it will hurt average Americans. Obama did just that with his "if you like your doctor you can keep your doctor" lie.

I'd take Trumps white lies over Lieawathas great big hurtful whoppers. We can roll with one and be crushed by the other.
What whoppers?

Trump claimed that Barack Obama was an illegal alien born in Kenya. Was that a "white lie" or a blatant smear?

More like a used car salesman trying to unload a piece of crap clunker on an unsuspecting customer.

We do deserve more, however, we put him there, just as we put Obama, Clinton, Bush, etc there. So who's to blame? Trump? Americans? How about something more sinister than presidential lies? Therein lies the media.

If you think Trump's lies are any worse than previous presidents, ask yourself why you think that. Do you truly believe that Trump's lies are worse than Obama's or Clinton's because you know for a fact that his lies are worse? Or do you believe what you believe because you tend to believe what the media tells you is "factual".

Case in point, I watched Good Morning America devote a five-minute segment to representative Katie Hill's resignation from Congress. They allowed her to paint her narrative as a woman negatively affected by the lies of right-wing media and an abusive husband.

Not once did the reporter, nor the host, who happens to be former President Clinton speech writer, George Stephanopoulos, state what this is actually a case of: Katie Hill abused her position of power to use campaign funds to pay a subordinate with whom she was having an affair with-a clear violation of House rules. In her defense, her husband most likely did violate laws by releasing those intimate photos, but again ABC didn't even make a comment about that, they let her paint herself as the victim.

My point? If you believe everything the biased media tells you about the Bad Orange Man then you're going to believe it. Step back, look at the situation objectively, understand that no president has been treated by the press as Trump has, and then ask yourself why? The only logical answer is implicit bias, because this president's lies are no different than the others', the press is just covering Trump different than any other president.

My guess at this point is that she will be the Democratic nominee, and the betting markets overwhelmingly think so.

Her new plan to impose heavy payroll taxes to be paid by employers is also a lie. As the CBO says, payroll taxes inevitably come out of the worker's pocket, not the employer's pocket. So this is a huge middle class tax increase.

This is just econ 101. Warren surely has econ PhD's on staff who have told her this. IIRC the avg. US senator has about $2.7 million worth of staffer salaries per year. Plus she has access to advice from the Congressional Budget Office, the Congressional Research Service, etc.

She's lying her butt off here. My bet is that she will win most of the Kerry states (from 2004) and nothing else. We'll get four more years of orange man.
