    ...how sad you've become, seriously...and as usual, since you have nothing to offer of substance you once again are relegated to insults...same shit, different day...so I might as well return the favor.

    ...aside from being a blind Trumptard you're not even relevant anymore...you post and run, post and run. At least I've been consistent about Trump since day one...you, on the other hand, have gone from bashing Trump to fellating him at every turn....your knees must be in need of replacement by now.
    ...anyone who cannot/will not accept the fact that Donald Trump is grotesquely and mentally deficient and morally bankrupt and a poor excuse for a human being and a complete abortion of a POTUS is the one who has obsession and reality problems and is really the one who needs medication/mental counseling, not me

    ...and now you use a John Edwards/collusion reference as if it's some sort of shield...you and your ilk really need to take a break from Fox and Friends....seriously man, you've really gone off the deep end.


    ...I love winning, and it's so easy.

    Cohen and Manafort are rolling over, as will others...and anyone who tries to compare the John Edwards incident vs Trump's is fooling themselves and obviously has not done their research and evidently gets all of their info and bluster from Hannity...talk about "fake news".

    ^^^... definitely a poster boy for abortion...
    fkr will be as famous as George Washington for all the wrong reasons. George couldn't tell a lie, (not quit true); tho' history try's to claim as much, or Honest Abe. Trumpsky can't tell the truth.

    https://www.washingtonpost.com/news...ng-claims-in-558-days/?utm_term=.fa91774c0f57

    the bitch about the WP, is they wan't one to subscribe, and I won't do it, but did manage to clip part of this article:

    "It turns out that’s when the president decided to turn on the spigots of false and misleading claims.
    As of day 558, he’s made 4,229 Trumpian claims — an increase of 978 in just two months. That’s an overall average of nearly 7.6 claims a day. When we first started this project for the president’s first 100 days, he averaged 4.9 claims a day. But the average number of claims per day keeps climbing the longer Trump stays in office. In fact, in June and July, the president averaged 16 claims a day. Put another way: In his first year as president, Trump made 2,140 false or misleading claims. Now, just six months later, he has almost doubled that total."

    Here's the complete database of every one of Trumps inconvenient truths, or false claims... August 15, 2018 going back to January 20th 2017.
    I'd be amazed if this URL doesn't break the sportstwo forum LAN database, as large a behemoth file as its grown into ...

    a priceless article:

    https://www.thestar.com/news/world/...-dont-use-the-l-word-when-trump-is-wrong.html

    a small excerpt, worth the read...

    LIES!!!!! CALL THEM LIES, GOD DAMMIT!!!” one man, Devin Comiskey, tweeted to me in mid-May. “Why do people continue to whitewash what he does?”

    Comiskey’s call-them-lies plea gained momentum on Twitter this weekend. Hundreds of liberals, including celebrities like John Cusack and Chrissy Teigen, criticized a prominent New York Times reporter, Maggie Haberman, for calling two of Trump’s latest false claims “demonstrable falsehoods” rather than “lies.”


    I called those two claims “lies.” (One a “ridiculous lie,” one a “big lie.”) Over my 19 months of fact-checking almost every word out of Trump’s mouth or Twitter feed, I’ve used “lie” to describe dozens of other Trump claims. I’ve quoted a historian saying Trump is the biggest liar in the history of the presidency. I’ve said that I personally think the president is a serial liar.


    I also don’t think that “lie” should be the word we use for every one of his inaccurate statements. And I don’t think reporters should be blamed or shamed for choosing different words where appropriate.

    A lie is a false statement made intentionally. (Merriam-Webster: “Lie, verb: to make an untrue statement with intent to deceive.”) In some cases, it’s safe to say Trump is intentionally trying to deceive. In other cases, it’s far less clear that he’s being wrong intentionally — because, with Donald Trump, you regularly can’t rule out the possibility that he is confused or ignorant.

    If we journalists are going to present ourselves as arbiters of truth, we have to stick to what we know is true. And that means not calling something a lie when we don’t have a reasonable certainty that Trump’s intention is deception.

    What does that mean in practice? It means choosing our terminology — “lie,” “false claim” and “falsehood,” “misleading,” and so on — on a case-by-case basis.

    Making the right decision case-by-case means, in my opinion, that “lie” should be used a lot more than almost every major U.S. news outlet currently uses it. It is obvious that there are numerous instances in which Trump is lying. In these obvious instances, I share the frustration of people like Comiskey with other reporters’ reluctance to say the word that is plainly appropriate.


    And when he says he has cut more regulations than even the president who served for “16 years,” is he intentionally exaggerating the length of the longest presidency, Franklin D. Roosevelt’s 12-year tenure, or did he hear that Roosevelt was elected four times and not know that Roosevelt died early in his fourth term? Either one is possible; I’m inclined to guess he’s being intentional. But I’m a reporter, and I can’t guess when calling someone a liar, so I use “false claim.”

    The thing is: it’s bad whether it’s intentional or unintentional, a false claim or a lie.

    When I defend my use of “false claim” by pointing out that Trump might be confused or ignorant, some scoffing critics will ask: and that’s somehow better?

    It’s not. Calling a claim false isn’t an attempt to excuse it.

    It’s not good that the president deliberately utters inaccurate things. It’s also not good that the president so frequently utters inaccurate things because he doesn’t know what he is talking about....

    got to laugh my ass off at Fox claiming Cohen's testimony isn't related to Trump, or an indictment of his guilt...

    Nixon looks like a Saint compared to Trumpsky....if one wasn't an adult or even a teen during the Nixon debacle, then I don't need to hear otherwise, ya' really wouldn't know firsthand....


    ^^^^ .... perfect !!!

    Why is it that the DNC seems to be about as competent with tech as this picture would suggest?

    [​IMG]

    They just about nutted over being "hacked" recently and the press carried on the circle jerk. One small problem:



    Glad to know their "emerging" tech can catch things that have been detectable since the 1990s and yet still mistake a hack from a 3rd party doing tests.

    ^^^^ ....

    Time always brings a different perspective. For instance if two weeks prior to the POTUS elections, had Mr. Comey of said publicly- " the Russians hacked Hillary's emails, and Donald Trump was behind it". Then we probably would have been stuck with the other felon...
    Either way it was a lose-lose situation. I would have rather seen Captain Kangaroo rise from the dead and run for POTUS. Mister Rogers? The entire cast of Romper Room as the White House Staff....???
    Even big bird would have made a better POTUS, than the two horrid lying candidates, I mean felons...

    Rasmussen is nothing more than toilet paper, no facts, only Alternative and/or convenient untruths; never lies, lmao....

    The White House is the single largest source of [*]"Fake News", along with his butt buddy Fox and Friends....

    and oh btw- I'd never bring up John Edwards in defense of Trump. Edwards was also a liar; and committed career (political suicide)...

    The former senator is currently a personal injury lawyer in Pitt County, North Carolina, i.e. Podunkville.

    Laughable to see Trumpturds use a fallen Liberal in defense of their Führer... see lessons learned from Tyranical Leaders...(upcoming)-

    (what a launching pad eh?) It's so far Edwards has fallen; but yeah lets use him for an example, which imo is a defense that spirals downwards...From the hallowed halls of Congress, to the superior courtroom in Podunk N.C.

    John Edwards’ wife passed away in December 2010. She legally separated from Edwards before her death.


    Trumpsky's never been qualified for any Politcal position, and wasn't qualified to Vote. He didn't register to vote until he was 41 yrs old...

    Mind boggling to believe Trumpsky promised to drain the swamp, when all he's ever known is developing; and has created a Great Lake out of a Swamp
    . Won't be long and the swamp will be considered the newest National Park...Won't be long and Trumputin will ask for funds to put his fkng mug on Mt. Rushmore...

    Why did dumbfk American's vote for a man who was a failed businessman, a bankrupt developer who couldn't get a loan. Are most American's so blind as to not know, a failed bankrupt businessman will only continue on course; and bankrupt an entire Nation.

    Oh I forgot, Azerbaijain and other Russian Oligarchs bailed his ass out; with mob $$$; to instill their agendaes; which is just now coming to the forefront...
    Trumpskys Allies are dropping like flies. A maggot is a maggot by any other name...

    Trump first registered as a Republican in Manhattan in 1987 and since that time has changed his party affiliation five times.

    In 1999, Trump changed his party affiliation to the Indepence Party of New York.

    In August 2001, Trump changed his party affiliation to Democratic. Liberally giving Hillary.
    https://www.politico.com/story/2015/06/donald-trump-donations-democrats-hillary-clinton-119071

    In September 2009, Trump changed his party affiliation back to the Republican Party. In December 2011, Trump changed to "no party affiliation" (Independent). In April 2012, Trump again returned to the Republican Party...

    https://www.politico.com/story/2015/06/donald-trump-donations-democrats-hillary-clinton-119071

    "Mr. Trump doesn't have a proven conservative record," Bush said at a town hall in Merrimack, N.H., on Augu. 19, 2015. "He was a Democrat longer in the last decade than he was a Republican."

    In a 2004 interview, Trump told CNN's Wolf Blitzer: "In many cases, I probably identify more as Democrat," explaining: "It just seems that the economy does better under the Democrats than the Republicans. Now, it shouldn't be that way. But if you go back, I mean it just seems that the economy does better under the Democrats.

    But certainly we had some very good economies under Democrats, as well as Republicans. But we've had some pretty bad disaster under the Republicans." In a July 2015 interview, Trump said that he has a broad range of political positions and that "I identify with some things as a Democrat."

    While the first frame is not ideal, I didn't vote for Father and Husband of the Year.
