So, what is the biggest (not hyperbole or bragging) baddest, most heinous and harmful lie our current president has ever told?

I've already answered this. The most damaging in my opinion is the bullshit notion that he is fighting the deep state.

So Trump's biggest baddest lie is a notion?

I Swallowed a Red Pill says

The most damaging in my opinion is the bullshit notion that he is fighting the deep state. That is bullshit, and his attack on our most important government institutions will do lasting harm. The second biggest bullshit set of lies is attacking the media as fake news. That's bullshit, and a lie, and will do lasting damage.

The horror! The Media and Bureaucracy are facing some long overdue criticism and scrutiny.

You must really live in a bubble to think our Media and massive Government Bureaucracy has conducted itself with honor over the last 3 years.

Do you realize that there are many people like me who didn't vote for Trump in 2016, but will proudly vote for him in 2020 precisely because he is taking on the 2 institutions you listed above?

same here - did not vote at all in 2020, but the never-ending TDS of corrupt and stupid media cause me to change my mind and I will vote for him in 2020 TO STICK IT TO MEDIA and ELITES

The Trump administration has been tough on Russia at times. It appears that it was due rd6B says

Russian asset is bombing Russians in Syria while St Obama did not.

Trump bombed a few Russians. Then, he pulled out of Syria, much to Putin's delight. I'm not saying that's proof that Trump's an asset, but he certainly gave Putin what he wanted when it mattered. Iran didn't mind our leaving Syria as well, by the way. Speaking of the Syria move, it sure didn't hurt Trump's business interests in Turkey to make that concession.

socal2 says

- Increasing fracking and energy exploration
- Increasing Military spending
- Pulling out of the Iran nuclear deal
- Pulling out of the Paris Climate Change accords

Our natural gas and oil production exploded under Obama. This didn't have so much to do with Obama's ...

Who gives a shit - Trump is by far more successful and lawful thanObummer and Boosh were, on all fronts. The economy is on fire, we're pulling out of regime change wars. Four more years! #MAGA

But Trump supporters are the Russian Trolls

Trump bombed a few Russians.

Bombed more than just a few, and at time when Putler had his sham re-election. Dictators are quite sensitive to being publicy wiped floor with.

I am not sure if this is good for Russia, as they now will have to deal with this mess.

That may be logical...he does seem to care about business interests more than about anything else.

Overall tho I think that talk about tRUMP being a Russian asset is 100% garbage, as there is no real evidence for that. On contrary, there is evidence in him screwing over Putler: 1. bombing, 2. lethal arms to Ukraine (I am sure reason is getting $$$ but nevertheless arms are sold, in contrast to Obama years), and 3. liquefied natural gas exports to Europe (heavily lobbied by tRUMP and Perry), which is much worse for Putler than anything else could ever be, as his main income is selling hydrocarbons.

Fuck Russia Today and all the Russian trolls peddling that shit.

I Swallowed a Red Pill says

Trump's deregulation is bad for Russia in the short term, but I doubt our minor surge in production has had a huge impact on oil prices.

When Iran took out half of Saudi Arabia's oil refineries a few months ago, we would have been looking at record oil prices, recession and WWIII if the US hadn't significantly stepped up oil production in recent years to hedge against these shocks.

Every last Democrat running for President is openly bragging how they will ban new oil exploration and will de-industrialize our economy with the Green New Deal - essentially making us slaves to Russia and OPEC.

I Swallowed a Red Pill says

I don't know if Trump is an asset or not.

I Swallowed a Red Pill says

But, if Trump is not in Putin's pocket, he certainly seems to want to play nice, presumably in order to get personal deals later on.

Good grief, you really think Trump is going to spend potentially 8 years in the crucible of public life, risking impeachment and indictments and the massive stress of this office - just so he can work some hotel deals in Russia when he is out of office and in his 80's?

It takes no work or critical thinking to believe the media. If you take it to the next level of retarded, you defend the media propaganda against people who poke holes in their Narrative with logic and facts. If you are barely able to fog a mirror, you come on Patnet and do that.

I Swallowed a Red Pill says

Honestly, I don't think he expected to win the election. I don't pretend to know what motivates him to stay in office now or do what he does, and don't know what his financial situation is. But I do think that he is on the lookout for personal gain while he is there.

Oookay.

You are at least being fair in putting in alot of caveats like: ("I don't know" - "I think" - "It seems like" - "Presumably")

Yet you were saying this morning that Trump is the most corrupt and obstructionist president EVER warranting all of these unprecedented investigations and weaponization of the bureaucracy to try and throw him out of office?

The economy is on fire

Where do you get this shit? Just because Trump says it doesn't make it true. Look at the numbers.

lol the numbers are clear. Math doesn't lie. Lowest UE, highest wage increases, esp. on the lower end, stock market on fire, small business approval rate crossing 50% again just now. The Trump economy has been a rocketship.

The rule of tradecraft is to pick the critical individuals who are all but invisible or appear exactly the opposite of what they are.

OrangeManBad is obvious and sticks out like a sore thumb, a tradecraft bull in the china shop. That's a non-starter.

As is always true of the 180 degree thinking, look to the Dems and accusers. Dianne Feinstein who had a Chinese intelligence agent in her employ for over 20 years (of course, without a ripple or a peep of attention or enforcement)?? IHLlary and the uranium deal and the easily scanned e-mail server, buried as much as the legacy press can do so without a pshaw or a head shake?

NO evidence to support the claim that the FBI spied on Trump's 2016 campaign

Words matter. It was a legal FISA warrant. Therefore it technically wasn't "spying." You're eating up BS headline writing. Enjoy it.

It was all legal. Ethically it makes Obama and Hillary look like pieces of shit, tucking their dicks between their legs out of fear of a NYC real estate developer beating the anointed cunt. He won against all odds (not even sure he really wanted to win). Temper tantrum continues......

Boy the upcoming doc drops must be the bomb if the Demmedia is running hitpieces left and right

This is as pointless as "List of NFL Teams that won games because of field goals instead of touchdowns."

Or as pointless as baseball teams who scored more points in the seven games of the World Series but still lost the series.

Lesson for the day: Play the game by the rules.

"Trump administration proposals could cause millions to lose food stamps"

What a loser. Obama caused millions to go on food stamps.

elected Representatives decided to impeach 4 Republicans at different time periods.

OK, we got Johnson and Nixon. Who are the other two? Trump has not been impeached.

HEYYOU says

The guv’mint/tree-huggers just want to control me!

Yep.
You do know that there are more trees in America than there were a hundred years ago, don'tcha?

I say do away with food stamps (and Obamaphones) entirely and immediately. It only contributes to our obesity problems.

How does he dare to assume earths gender!

"I can't continue because I'm not a billionaire and I can't finance my campaign! However, elect me and give me a couple of weeks in Ukraine and I will be a billionaire!"

Neither was Nixon.

Good point

Funny, I never hear any GW backers protesting about HAARP...

Trudeau is such an outlandish twat, they accused Trump of grabbing pussy when he shook hands.

"Hey, Justin, I hear you were sired when your Mom wiped Castro's cum off her face and used it!"

Exactly.

Good stuff AF. Although it would be impossible for them to perjure themselves for making opinions basically based on a transcript of a phone call and other peoples opinions of said phone call. So they're safe regardless of what they say. Basically today didn't even matter if people take an objective look at it. I can't believe I wasted as much time as I did watching it.

GROTESQUE! STANFORD! LESBIAN! Karlan may be able to escape the firing squad by changing her testimony to offer an iron clad case for IMPEACH!ing Obama and deporting him back to KENYA

Exactly.

Stanford Professor says she is 'bisexual', chuckle! She musta kidnapped a blind guy once and held cold steel to his testicles if he didn't do her.

Gossip Girls and cranky, ugly lesbians professors. I'm almost nostalgic for Christine Blasey Ford.

I'm almost nostalgic for Christine Blasey Ford.

I wonder how many patnetters got that funny feeling in their nether regions while watching her. I can think of 3 to start with.

The picture of Soros in the background is priceless.

Even the right wing Business Insider dissed Trump

https://www.businessinsider.com/justice-department-finds-fbi-didnt-spy-on-trump-2016-2019-11

From the article
"The Justice Department's inspector general found no evidence to support President Donald Trump's claim that the FBI spied on his 2016 presidential campaign while investigating whether the campaign was conspiring with the Russian government to interfere in the election"

So they did not spy, they investigated. Depending on what is is.
