Easy solution... hit that Ignore button. It will spare you grief. The other solution is a lot tougher... I can stop posting trump's lies, but that relies on trump not lying every day. Interesting that republicans used to respect presidents that told the truth. There was George Washington... famous for "I cannot tell a lie" with regard to the cutting down of a cherry tree. There was Abraham Lincoln, who was known as "Honest Abe". And... now we have trump.
I said, 'with all due respect' like Jack Kennedy and @Deckard -- what I'm getting at is that we know Trump lies all the time about everything.
No worries, I wasn't insulted or upset (though usually, when I read "with all due respect" I expect something bad will follow). I actually suggest using the Ignore to everyone... I hate seeing long drawn out insult threads. This is supposed to be place to learn things and to a degree have fun. Otherwise why do it, and there are lots of other places to be and things to do if its not. If I bother someone... ignoring me seems better than getting into written battle. Heck, I ignore people here. But... what is your preferred fix? That I only post about every other trump lie? Every third lie? Or... should I have a weekly lie post, where I aggregate all his lies? Or... only the truly bad lies (maybe some rating system like "pants on fire")? Or... is it simply the editorial comment "trump lies, about everything, all the time"? Would you prefer I just not include that? Or not include any comment involving the word "lie"? OK, seriously, I don't post EVERY trump lie. One, its be pretty tough to do... I think he must be approaching 20,000 lies in the three years he has been president. And while I have posted 30k posts, that's since 2002, and in a few other cc.net forums, and well before trump became president. And two... there are people that (trump lie tracking) actually do that for a living (eg really good tweeter is Daniel Dale @ddale8). And... I do think its important that trump lies constantly and about all things. If trump lies about dumb and meaningless things like crowd size, or conversations with imaginary people... you know he would lie about important things. If no one calls him out on it... it becomes acceptable. And once lying to the American people becomes acceptable our American system and society fails. But... since you asked me politely, I will try my best to improve my posting here.
I think what KC ment is that you don’t need to add the sentence « Trump lies... », not the actual lie itself. I think most people coming to this thread (like me) appreciate your informative posts here.
Never in my wildest dreams would I imagine having the leader of our great country post such nasty remarks about anyone and everyone who dares to disagree with him. He has turned me from Republican to Democrat. I can not vote for a man that has spewed more lies in 3 years than I ever imagined possible from one human being. Fool me once, bad on me, but I won't be fooled again. I certainly won't vote for a man that is as arrogant, corrupt and vain as Mr. Trump again.
He behaved the same way prior to the 2016 election. Remember the meanness he displayed towards all his opponents in each party? The lies about them? The grabbing comment? The mocking of the disabled reporter? If you don't like it now, why did you like it then?
I was never a Republican and far from agreeing with most Republican ideas. But I feel awful for thoughtful ideological Republicans whose ideals have been sold out from under them and have had their party hi-jacked from underneath them. I honestly feel horrible for people in your position.
Laughable that trump comments on Jennifer Rubin's typo... heck, trump has even struggled spelling his role in the government ("President's Day", "unpresidented") and his own (third) wife's name ("Melanie").
Since trump again has nothing on his work schedule... he has plenty of time for tweetrums. Here's one trying to deflect from his team's corruption by deflecting to former secretary of state John Kerry... And, as usual, the fact checkers prove trump is, well, being trump...
