Trump’s lies are a warning for Democracy

Original Article

Posted By: Madinmaryland, 8/5/2019 11:14:18 AM

When his adviser Kellyanne Conway justified President Donald Trump’s inflated estimate of the size of the crowd at his inauguration, she used the term “alternative facts.”   Thus began the new President’s ceaseless cascade of lies and claims of “fake news” — the collapse of reality. His attacks on congressional leader Elijah Cummings and the city of Baltimore — clearly designed to pit whites against minorities — is a distortion of factual reality.

Comments:

This is what I wake up to!!! How does one deal with such unwillingness to look at the results of our president’s positive actions for our country. IMHO, more fake news and alternative reality is spewed from the gums of Nancy Pelosi and Chuckie Shumer.

I think I would be mad if I lived in Maryland. Unresponsive and corrupt governance is not a good combination.

For me, the dystopian world that liberals have created began with " . . . but I didn't inhale!" It was so incredibly stupid!!! And yet, I observed with deep astonishment, as people that I trusted and respected totally shredded their own integrity to protect and support a man whose character was far less than their own. And they knew it! I do remember that at the time, they possessed at least some small amount of shame when I called them on their duplicity. Today, however, liberals have become completely comfortable with their lies, their hate and their bigotry. Hypocrisy is a now tool of the Left. They are "1984". These people must be defeated.

Trump does engage in the use of hyperbole quite a lot, but so does every other politician, entertainer or 'news' source. In that regard, all are liars. When you start looking this hard for lies, there will be no end of them. Unfortunately, only one side is ever called out on it and that side engages in hyperbole more than the side being attacked. If I say I can do a certain job in three hours and it takes four, am I a liar? Maybe I just didn't see the difficulties that cropped up, or maybe there were hidden requirements. Every politician has made promises he was unable to bring to fruition. Did Obama actually 'fundamentally transform America,' and was that a lie, or hyperbole? Some statements aren't hyperbole but ARE lies, such as, "if you like your doctor, you can keep your doctor." The real difference between a lie and hyperbole on the part of politicians is whether or not the statement was meant to mislead people.

PDJT has made lots of promises of things he'd do for America. The things that were within his power to do, are in the process of being completed. The rest are tied up in courts, due to liberal judges, or frivolous lawsuits. The Uniparty has never intended to support this President, or his policies.

Having read the article looking for the supposed lies I find that the only thing vaguely listed as a lie is the claim by Trump that the crowd at his inauguration was bigger than claimed by the media and the park dept. Everytime I read one of these liberal rants about lying Trump there is never a list of the lies he supposedly told. Its easy to claim all kinds of things, racism, lying, bigotry, it is especially easy when you self define these things. Considering the number of lies put forward and repeated infinitum by the MSM I am less than impressed when the liars accuse others of lying.

Tales from The Fever Swamp. This is what the Left's echo chamber sounds like. Glad someone posted it - it gives us a glimpse into how the other side thinks (emotes). All judgments and absolutely unchallengeable conclusions (in his mind). Few facts. Amazing how it all fits together in a seamless picture, though. The constant drumbeat has created a caricature where inconvenient facts are omitted - just forgotten. All the News that Fits the Narrative!

The past several days have left many Jews in the United States feeling shell-shocked. Attacks against them seem to be coming from all quarters.First, on Thursday, the New York Times’ International Edition published a stunningly antisemitic cartoon on its op-ed page. It portrayed a blind President Donald Trump wearing the garb of an ultra-Orthodox Jew, replete with a black suit and a black yarmulke, with the blackened sunglasses of a blind man being led by a seeing-eye dog with Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu’s face.

Last Saturday night, one of the guests on Greg Gutfeld’s evening show on Fox News was a former Marine staff sergeant, bomb technician Johnny “Joey” Jones, who lost his legs when he stepped on an IED in Afghanistan in 2010. He brought to mind a young Jimmy Stewart: winsome, modest, good-spirited, and even able to crack jokes about his missing limbs. Watching him, I thought: here is a young man who was handicapped for life because, in the wake of 9/11, he was one of those courageous Americans who agreed
Young Pro-Life Activist Dismantles Major Abortion Argument in Matter of Minutes 7 replies

A young pro-life activist completely destroyed the major abortion arguments during a hearing on Rhode Island’s late-term abortion bill. Following the left’s recent trend toward infanticide, Democrats in Rhode Island are preparing to pass Senate Bill 152, a horrifying bill which would legalize abortion up to moments before the baby’s birth. And as Matthew Thomas Foster pointed out at last week’s hearing, the Rhode Island bill is eerily similar to the equally horrifying bill passed in New York and bills proposed in Vermont and New Mexico.

As we reported two days ago, Joe Biden completely made no sense when he was trying to explain the Wuhan coronavirus relief bill. It was really bad and it explains why they’re afraid to have him deliver an address to Congress or do any kind of a real solo press conference, because at this point they have to be afraid this is all going to fall apart if he does anything live and this all becomes too obvious to the American people. But there’s only so long that they can hold this off. And it’s getting worse, as video today revealed. Biden was holding an event to announce the nomination

Democrat Senator Joe Manchin (WV) appears to have started to shift his views on the filibuster with remarks that he made on two news shows on Sunday morning.The shift from Manchin comes after he has repeatedly stated that he would not vote to end the filibuster, despite pressure from the far-Left. During the interviews on Sunday, Manchin repeatedly claimed that he was not open to ending the filibuster because he did not want to strip the minority party of their power in the Senate, but signaled that he was open to changing it.Fox News host Chris Wallace asked Manchin if he would consider “reforming the filibuster” if “Republicans

Nancy Pelosi’s top priority is to turn America into a one-party nation ruled by Democrats. Her bill HR 1 trashes the U.S. Constitution in an attempt to rig the system and make it virtually impossible to elect a Republican president or Congress again. It’s a power grab. The bill eviscerates state voting laws and forces all the states to conform to a set of rules that includes automatic voter registration. Anyone who goes to a DMV or applies for food stamps, Medicaid or other social services, or attends a public college will be automatically enrolled to vote. Noncitizens are obligated to identify themselves and opt out,

I keep calling him general, but my, my—the guy who runs that outfit over there,” Biden said.(Snip) Earlier at the event, Biden mentioned the Defense Department leader by his name, “Secretary Austin,” while appearing to read from a teleprompter.

I’m probably second to none in my dislike for Meghan Markle. There’s something unattractive about a mature woman marrying into the British Royal family with one of the world’s most expensive weddings, hanging out with the Queen, living in insane luxury…and then whining non-stop about the horror of her life. There’s something even less appealing when that woman accuses the Royal family of race hatred. And the problem is that, when it comes to that left-wing diva, Meghan Markle, it’s hard to believe most of what she says. After weeks of hype, CBS finally televised Meghan Markle and Prince Harry’s interview with Oprah.

Appearing on Yahoo!

The Washington Times in 2019 first reported Democrats’ bid to strip the longtime FBI director’s name from the bureau’s headquarters. Mr. Cohen said the impetus to revive the bid is the new movie, “Judas and the Black Messiah.” The movie details

“There must have been a moment, at the beginning, when we could have said –-no. But somehow we missed it.” Tom Stoppard The millions of Americans who were paying attention throughout the 2020 election campaign all became painfully aware of the fact that Joe Biden’s cognitive abilities were slipping and slipping fast. His wife, as the person closest to him, should have been the one to call the campaign quits in order to reduce stress on the man. Instead, apparently so anxious to become the First Lady by any means necessary, Mrs. Biden continued to push her failing husband’s campaign forward as if he were mentally qualified.
