I can't take credit for creating the term, "presstitutes" but I sure as hell am going to use it whenever I am referring to the Trump haters in the MSM who are Dumocratic Party hacks.

While true his cabinet can't get approved. Clearly they are not a fine tuned machine. He had to get rid of one he got approved.

Nope. Candy bars are cheaper.

Really? How fricking literal of you. It's obviously his own exaggerated way of speaking.

Drugs are bad m-kay? His claim that drugs are getting cheaper is one that will take more research but is it likely that SOME illegal drug has gotten cheaper - probably, right?

Those lines are just set up lines. They're stylistic verbiage.

In the end, it's really about what he DOES as president, not what he SAYS.

It's a different way to look a President, and maybe it goes to the heart of the differences between Liberals and Conservatives. You guys appeared to be more interested in what Obama SAID, his ostensible INTENTIONS, more than what he DID or DID NOT do.

Yes, words do mean things. Calling Trump a LIAR because he said drug prices are going down and are cheaper than a candy bar - That is a MISUSE of the word LIAR.

Actually I called him a liar for 3 things. The electoral vote count, his cabinet running like a well oiled machine, and that illegal drug prices are going down.


Anyone one of his statements being untrue makes him a liar. But feel free to only defend one point and act like I'm wrong.

I could care less what P.C. rules POTUS Trump violates, who in the media he pisses off, who in the DNC he pisses off, who in the liberal camp he pisses off. His winning keeps the Supreme Court out of Hillary's and the DNC's hands and that is all I care bout.

Sorry Okie, you're still wrong.

I don't know why he said the thing about the electoral votes, but just because he was wrong about an easy to verify or falsify factoid doesn't make it a LIE. He was wrong in fact, but its ignorant to say that was a lie. Furthermore, his point was that he did way better than the media said he would, and that is a fact.

You belittle the words, LIED and LAIR, when you use them in that context, even if you could somehow prove that he damn well knew at the time he said it that he hadn't gotten the most EV's. Again, as you said, words have meaning.

Well oiled machine is another NON-LIE. It's a subjective statement on it's face, and can hardly even be determined to be objectively right or wrong. Even if we could show that it's wrong, you would have to prove that Trump knew it was objectively wrong when he said it in order to call it a LIE.

See but it crossed the line into a lie when he pushed back and said that's what they told and I've seen that around.

Well oiled machine don't have to ask for resignations a few weeks in.
They don't send an advisor on TV and say absolutely not he isn't getting fired and then an hour later it comes out he's gone.

They don't have people leaking classified info all over the place either.

Trump is breaking CNN news (pun intended).

Seriously, his press conference was fun. He said his piece without nastiness, and with a certain amount of humor. He even got the CNN reporter to laugh.

I think this is much healthier than all the doom and gloom "gotcha!" gaming that goes on on most of the news channels across the political spectrum.

No worries if I remember correctly I went straight to the Rhino and randomly watched Viffer drop about 20k on stage in 10 minutes. Well worth it IMO
