Unpresidented Liar in the White House

Post by _moksha »

I've been waiting for a tweet by Antarctic Political Awareness Committee to offer a $1.98 reward for anyone who can establish that Trump was actually born in Vladivostok.

Until then, I will feel sad that the White House chief resident is a pathological liar. Will this become the new norm in American politics?

When a large swath of the population thinks a pedophile is more acceptable than a Democrat, this country gets what it deserves. Assholes at the top.

The GOP has just learned in the last couple years that their constituents will damned believe anything they decide to fabricate, like good little cult followers. Of course they'll keep calling up 'down' and red 'blue.' They are shameless, and their constituents aren't paying attention/aren't too bright.
God belief is for people who don't want to live life on the universe's terms.

When bad behavior is rewarded it will persist and the lies will become bolder. I can imagine Trump appointing Sarah Sanders as head of the Ministry of Information ala 1984.

Politics have always been a bit untruthful, but it seems that Trump has made it a steady state.

Yes, in the plain, grammatical and un-gif-distracted sense of the term.

This is a bad place for the USA to be in. I see no immediate prospects for it getting out either.
