    His hands are small, his popular vote is small, his crowd is small, I wonder what else we will find out is small and he is super sensitive about.

    We have truly elected an internet troll as the president. No wonder he resonates with all of our resident internet trolls, who are rabid about defending him.

    It's not deflection, it's context. I'm explaining why the faux outrage is ridiculous. Yes, Trump is full of **** and he lied when he said that he had proof that 3-5 million votes were cast illegally....but lying to the American people is essentially what the president does.

    LOL, you have no idea what you are talking about....but it seems like you make a habit of that. I get that you probably feel some kind of way about running into one of your betters in conversation, but just learn to deal with it guy. I imagine it happens to you a lot.

    1. Thread wise, y'all don't have to take the bait. It's always the same. Just let him say the sky is red b/c it has red frequencies within its color spectrum and is even red at sunset sometimes. Let him say he knows Rayleigh scattering better than atmospheric physicists who would argue the sky is mostly blue in color, and then just carry on a discussion without him. Pretty simple.

    2. On point, this is Trump and crew doubling down on bringing a deer to you and calling it a horse. He will keep doing this until he has enough people who will agree it's a horse. (reference other poster who informed me of this bit of Chinese history, which is pretty fascinating.) Eventually, if Ryan is scared enough or getting enough policy that he wants, Ryan will start nodding and calling it a horse. Turtle is probably already calling it a horse b/c he has no soul whatsoever. Ryan has a tiny bit of a soul, so we'll see when he caves.

    I'm hoping most of the media other than Hannity doesn't cave. Fox overall will have to make some tough choices, or maybe they already have.

    nice shitpost and you're not as good as swoly

    yes he lies a lot but he tells the truth a lot too but only the lies make the headlines. that's my point and it's so predictable because they're all hacks now. also Obama made tons of promises his ass couldn't deliver on which makes them lies and he has some big one.

    At some point its impossible to do anything other than roll my eyes after reading your efforts to defend Trump. I don't care if he only lies 10% of the time... he is outright lying on something that is so easily disproven. Its not a promise not kept (though those are still to come). Its an out and out lie.

    who cares about crowds. you fools are easily distracted from policy and focusing on one statement out of hundreds of decisions. like a magician using sleight of hand to fool his audience. even on cnn, it's the top headline. no headline for the recent confirmations, recent meetings with auto ceo's, epa, labor unions, pipelines, his booming approval ratings, or the breaking planned parenthood controversy, etc.. all of that in 2 days but nah let's talk about one statement about crowds. ahahah, what a joke. I would have expected the reputable media to just roll their eyes and ignore the hyperbole form the trump admin so it goes away. they'll pay for it in the end because no one really cares about that story. they care about the other stories that aren't being reported. which means some poll will tell them that trump is a liar and people are triggered. then his approval ratings will continue to rise and they'll say but how can the polls be wrong. what's happening arrghghgh!!!

    BTW, There are better places to get your news, IMO. If your stuck in an airport I guess CNN on TV would tide you over for "late breaking news." If you're on the Internet however, there are many print-online sources that are covering the news stories you mention, in depth.

    But you mentioned CNN, and they cover a boatload of news that isn't related to politics. So all you have to do is scroll down a bit and there is a section clearly marked "politics" that mentions issues like TPP, the pipeline,Trump's cabinet and potential SCOTUS picks, etc. If you click on that link it gets more comprehensive.

    The thing is many of these issues aren't really a surprise. Trump ran on these campaign promises and said things like "on day one, gonna Make America great again *sniff*" or something like that. What is a surprise is the unprecedented Blitzkrieg of the media that this administration has chose to spend their first days orchestrating. That's what you call "headline news." Trump doubling down on this falsehood is only the latest ribald attempt to get people like you and me and the media to focus on those things and forget about others.

    If you're so focused on those issues, do some digging like some other conservatives on this board do. But maybe you're just trying to be a comedian, like Mrs. Conway likes to do. After all you slipped in "his booming approval ratings" in your post. Heyooh! If that's the case I suggest you watch this to bone up on your skills.

    I'm just wondering how anyone that supported Trump still can support the guy.


    It's clear to see how dangerous he is for this country.


    Man, it's going to be a long four years. Hopefully he gets impeached sooner.

    We know, we know.

    He sure does and it makes everything he says a lie, he needs to stick to truth and he might get some respect, but he lies so much that even his truths are treated as lies.

    Donald Trump is a liar. Some of you are saying that it doesn't matter that he is a liar. You are either mentally challenged and should find a medication that can help you, or have a bizarre need for a pathological liar as a "strongman" leader of our country, in my humble opinion. Do the rest of us a favor and move to Russia or Turkey. You will love it. Thanks in advance.

    clear how? explain yourself because it's only been 3 working days so how in the hell can you reach that conclusion so quickly unless you're just being heavily influenced by outside narratives.

    yea he lies, as a politician he's in good company. no one will take you seriously if you cherry pick your news items and ignore the rest just so you can support your biases. he does worry about unimportant things but he also worries about important things. don't cherry pick to create a lie that he's done nothing but lie and worry about unimportant things because that's a flat out lie you liar.

    The good thing is that the media has printed that Trump lies, and continues to call him on his bull... We need to make sure the media continues to call out Trump's steady stream of lies. Spicer has a thankless job going out to try and stand up for Trump's demonstrable lies.
