He lied his way out of serving his country in the military. Does this make up for it in your eyes? Or do you realize the extent of his lack of any decency humility or understanding of why and how his country came to be? Whatcha think folks? This is gonna settle the score?
Donald Trump stepped over the line for many major news outlets when he chose to Rick-Roll the press and double down on the lies about his birther nonsense. All of the sudden they became more comfortable with using the “L” word about him. Now…just before the first presidential debate, the meme that “Donald Trump is a liar” seems to have caught on.
For example, there was this headline from the New York Times: “A Week of Whoppers From Donald Trump.”
Donald J. Trump has unleashed a blizzard of falsehoods, exaggerations and outright lies in the general election, peppering his speeches, interviews and Twitter posts with untruths so frequent that they can seem flighty or random — even compulsive.
However, a closer examination, over the course of a week, revealed an unmistakable pattern: Virtually all of Mr. Trump’s falsehoods directly bolstered a powerful and self-aggrandizing narrative depicting him as a heroic savior for a nation menaced from every direction. Mike Murphy, a Republican strategist, described the practice as creating “an unreality bubble that he surrounds himself with.”
The New York Times closely tracked Mr. Trump’s public statements from Sept. 15-21, and assembled a list of his 31 biggest whoppers, many of them uttered repeatedly.
The Los Angeles Times weighed in with: “Scope of Trump’s falsehoods unprecedented for a modern presidential candidate.”
This post was edited by WM BARR . =ABSOLUTE TRASH at July 4, 2019 4:05 AM MDTNever in modern presidential politics has a major candidate made false statements as routinely as Trump has. Over and over, independent researchers have examined what the Republican nominee says and concluded it was not the truth — but “pants on fire” (PolitiFact) or “four Pinocchios” (Washington Post Fact Checker)…
PolitiFact, a Tampa Bay Times site that won a Pulitzer for its coverage of the 2008 election, has rated 70% of the Trump statements it has checked as mostly false, false or “pants on fire,” its lowest score. By contrast, 28% of Clinton’s statements earned those ratings.
“As we noted when we awarded Trump our 2015 Lie of the Year award for his portfolio of misstatements, no other politician has as many statements rated so far down the dial,” PolitiFact writer Lauren Carroll reported in June. “It’s unlike anything we’ve ever seen.”
When you serve your country in the military D it need not be confined to killing people on a battlefield. There are other jobs to be done. There is a designation of CONSCIENTIOUS OBJECTOR. It has to do with religious beliefs of not wanting to kill other human beings. They too can serve with distinction in the military s they need cooks or entertainers or office workers or mechanics or medics or folks who do the laundry. Thank you for your reply and Happy AMERICAN 4th of July Independence Day 2019.
