Is that one of those silly email forwards or FB forwards that gullible people send each other?

Is that one of those silly subject changes because you got nothing again?

I had already replied to FPBT's comment, and created a thread about the disinformation site that he had relied upon.

Thank you.

All political violence comes from the left these day.

All of it.

CBOE will say, "Give me an example." We've been watching a constant shit show 24/7 and he says give me an example.

So you have an example?

Nope. Still nope.

Patrick says

Yeah, there was that guy that shoved someone at a protest. And lets not forget the glass of water someone through at a Fox news Trump supporter. (don't worry about whether it might have been staged for $one million in free PR).

Trump dishonesty is extremely well documented. THere are days in the recent past with more than 30 factually incorrect statements in a day.

This is a fact.

But like Trump, you evidently don't believe there are verifiable truths or facts in this world.

In my book, any respectable conservative or libertarian would fully acknowledge Trumps dishonesty. To deny it is being every bit as mendacious as he is.

marcus says

THere are days in the recent past with more than 30 factually incorrect statements in a day.

OK. Choose one of those 30.

Wapo's list is up to 5000 now. You've said it's all fiction and that none of those are real lies.

So we're kind of done with this.

History will show one of two to be FACT. Either:

A) All the reality based people are right, and Trump really does live in his own special fact free reality

or

B) Basically all the media is in some kind of giant conspiracy along with basically all honest and intelligent people, to claim that Trump lies constantly.

Look how brazen the fake news media is getting. Isn't it amazing ?

If only there were such a thing as actual truth and real facts,...sigh.

Nope. He wont do it. Literally refuses to spell out his own words and think for himself.

CBOEtrader says

and think for himself.

You mean defend himself against a hostile cultist audience.

Smart man who knows to be on the attack when arguing to win, the inherent advantage in it, and win is the game being played here.

since we got at least 2 different sets of facts, 2 different sets of realities, strident loyalty to tribe/cult, nobody's going to give any serious deliberation about anything typed by a non-fellow cult member.

@CBOEtrader I don't see you defending anything said here.

A lie isn’t just a false statement. It’s a false statement whose speaker knows it’s false. In these instances, the president — or his administration — have clear reason to know otherwise. Reporters are understandably cautious about using the word — some never do, because it requires speculating on what someone is thinking. The cases we call "lies" are ones where we think it's fair to make that call: Trump is saying something that contradicts clear and widely published information that we have reason to think he's seen. This list also includes bullshit: speech that is — in its academic definition — "unconnected to a concern with the truth."

There are an unprecedented amount of lies coming from Trump, so much so that several sources are listing his lies like greatest hits, the full list, categories, it's sad, Trump diminishes our nation and exposes the office of president itself to ridicule.

I don't mind because the stink of him will kill the GOP party and with that their agenda to keep money leaving our hands so they can get donor money.

Call It Crazy says

@CBOEtrader I don't see you defending anything said here.

What? If I were to make a claim like "Donald Trump is a liar" I would 100% back that up w facts and reasons.

The point is that @Marcus nor any other member of the forum has attempted to show why Trump is a huge liar.

Lol buzzfeeds audience must not read.

Does anyone want to choose a whopper and defend it as such?

Still no? That's what I thought. Sigh. I laughed when I read the buzzfeed list. No respectable person would defend this idiocy.

Call It Crazy says

Want to pick one?

OK I'll bite. How about this one:

"President Obama said we'd need a magic wand to get to 4% GDP"

Utter and complete lie.

I would not say that Trump lies are "unprecedented" - the definition of any politician lying is that his lips are moving. Trump is not an exception by any means, if we remember Hillary under sniper fire, "I did not have sex with that womyn" etc.

Politician-speak, in fact, has become so coded that it’s essentially another language — what you might call the language of uncommunication. Hutton has examples coming out of his ears. ‘I can’t promise that’ means ‘There is no way in hell that I’m ever going to do that’. This is the right thing to do’ means ‘This is the thing we’re going to do’. ‘We need a grown-up debate’ means ‘I will only engage with people who agree with me’.

I particularly liked Hutton’s suggestions for the ‘rebranding’ of certain historical events. The Crusades become ‘Breaking Down Barriers Between Faith Groups’.
Henry VIII’s marital strategy was ‘Sustaining Families Through Wider Engagement’. And ‘Creating Critical Mass to Drive Demand for Safe Technology’? That’s Chernobyl.

I haven't seen anything trump has said to be as blatant or disgusting of a lie as HRC's sniper fire comment. What iyo is Trumps most important lie?

I have seen him be factually inaccurate in irrelevant ways like "Chicago had highest murder rate in 25 years" when in fact it had the highest murder rate increase. This mistake deserves to be pointed out, but it isnt "we landed under sniper fire".

Someone, anyone, show us why Trump is a huge liar. I dont think the evidence is there.

CBOEtrader says

Someone, anyone, show us why Trump is a huge liar.

Definitely not huge liar, but I'd say similar in magnitude of lies to many other politicians. The twatter link in my previous post is about Trump helping in 9/11, which I somehow find hard to believe.

Herdingcats says

I'll ask again

I'll change the topic again. Sigh.

Is this your way of admitting Trump is not some huge, dangerous liar?

I guess you can argue that somehow having a compulsive liar as President is sometimes entertaining, and also that it's great for creating distractions whenever he feels he needs one.

Con artistry skills can be effective. But is this the image of America we want to promote to the world. And is it what or who we want our children to think we are ?

Compared to Obummer and IHLarry Trump is a compulsive truth teller.

jazz_music says

It's more than just never-ending clickbait,.

It's cover for the oligarchs on his staff as they sneak around shutting down the government that uses tax money to benefit people and the environment.

Yep. The total opposite of "draining the swamp."

Did you just argue that turning down power = NOT draining the swap? Amazing logic skills on display.

The link above shows the top 101 of Trumps lies. No one here's going to read it.
https://www.dailywire.com/news/4834/trumps-101-lies-hank-berrien

which one would you like to discuss? (still waiting)

jazz_music says

No, his lying is so profligate that it will not only go down in history, but it will have definite impact on the future of GOP.

Seems that she (xe) is also a fairly profligate liar. Not sure how one can come to conclusion that Trump lies much more (or for that matter much less). Both are lying sacks of politics.

Herdingcats says

The topic is Trump lies.

Do you have a lie you want to discuss?

Herdingcats says

Yes but apparently you do not want to discuss it.

What is that lie? Sounds like you are judging trump for not implementing a PC hiring practice amongst companies w his brand name.

I am neither seeing a problem or a lie in allowing managers to hire who ever is best for the job in the relevant legal job market. You see a lie in here somewhere?

No it’s not.

http://www.foxnews.com/politics/2018/09/10/trump-fires-back-at-obama-boasts-hes-got-magic-wand-on-economy.html

They explain reference in third paragraph to townhall where Obama did say Trump would need s magic wand to bring jobs back.

LeonDurham says

CBOEtrader says

Deep thoughts by CBOE.

They didn't close government programs in order to receive tax cuts. They took tax cuts, assuming it would make programs for the public less affordable in the future (when democrats are "in power.") It's a game we've watched for decades.

Jazz was referring to the intent. Giving themselves tax cuts without caring what spending will have to be reduced or whether the deficit will explode, is only an abuse of power, not a "reduction in power."

Nice fantasy life you lead, not to mention uhm,

CBOEtrader says

Amazing logic skills on display.

Herdingcats says

The topic is Trump lies.

Herdingcats says

Did I say I saw a lie in the practice of hiring H2B visa holders?

Lol, the change your stance as needed in a discussion strategy? Dont get offended when no one knows what you are trying to say.

Herdingcats says

I said the practice shows he doesn't want to MAGA.

Trump never said he wanted to put PC limitations on hiring practices. Legal immigration is A-ok everywhere and by everyone. If you think otherwise, then you've been lied to.

Herdingcats says

CBOEtrader says

Legal immigration is A-ok everywhere and by everyone

it's not ok to me or clambo. It takes jobs from Americans what is ok about that?

You have the right to feel that way. Its simply not Trump's stance, nor most of his supporters.

They want to limit illegal immigration first, worrying about legal H2B's in regards to trump has only been mentioned by those attempting to slander trump.
