Ok, I get the media spins shite for days. Always has. But, how is it that the MSM is 100% liars and DT the bastion of truth.

It has been proven over and over BOTH lie. DT regularly lies and speaks blatant mistruths......yet he is to be believed without question.

What gives?

I disagree with your premise.

Go back and read the stories about Trump that have been proven mostly incorrect or totally false.

Now compare those to the stories which were totally factual.

Now show show Trump’s lies.

You will find your answer, Padawan.

If Teflon Don isn’t a liar then where TF is the wall I voted for and why hasn’t he done anything about the illegal immigration system. He has the House and Senate for two years and didn’t get anything passed. Ann Coulter was right.

Trump generally lies (typically by exaggerating) about things no one gives a shite about, i.e. crowd sizes at events, gobbitygookness of random statistics, and the like. The media manipulates by omitting and distorting practically anything that could possibly put him in a better light if the truth was known about it. The media lies about issues and things that matter, i.e. detention centers=concentration camps, Obama is responsible for the economy, climate change is undeniable, etc.

This. It's the severity and impact of the lies.

Let's look at some of the lies the mainstream media and celebrities got caught pushing:

Russian collusion
Jussie smollett (Trump causing hate crimes)
Nick Sandman (smiling MAGA hat kid)
Trump is a racist
Trump is going to start a war
The economy is going to crash

Now show me President Trump's lies that are comparable to those.

Don’t read either.

Thing is, the trait of a compulsive liar is that they lie consistently. They lie for the sake of lying and actually come to believe those lies.

Where there are the “white” lies or those deemed not consequential, there are those that are actually damaging.

My concern is the daily flow of flat out bullshite......

MSM just flat out distorts. DJT simply expresses himself in colorful terms. All politicians leave opportunities for the opposing side to “word smith” the true meaning of his message in the context in which it was spoken or in the heat of the moment.

How much time has the MSM spent trying to indict Trump for the country of origin mis-speak? They’ll be picking on the color of his shoes next. Good God....

Nope. The media uses 'fact checking' which is simply 'our opinion' disguised as truth. There is no rebuttal to a Wapo 'fact check.'
IE: Trump says 'X.'
Wapo says 'fact check, X is false because of Z.
There may be 20 reasons why 'Z' is false but it is not contained in the article.

Here is where we come to a disagreement. I would bet that fully half of what you take as a "lie" or "mistruth" is actually the media and the trolls on the left intentionally misleading you by not giving you context. The other half is taking what is clearly meant as an exaggeration at the time it was said and calling it a lie.


Here is an experiment for you to try. The next time your "sources" get your panties worked into a wad, go to youtube and find a full clip of Trump speaking on that occasion and watch it. Don't let someone tell you what he said or did, find out for yourself. Make up your own mind and don't let others do it for you.

You do know that congress writes legislation Right? and you do know that Republicans controlled both chambers for 2 years Right? and you do know the president can execute executive orders Right?


And you do know that not shite was done during those two yearsRight?

And you do know the Republicans are self-serving and full of shite and unamerican just like the Democrats Right?
