Why is it just okay for Trump to say he’s signed the most bills ever?

Can we at least get the board to admit that’s a lie, or do we just not care about anything anymore?

It was a lie.

I also really don't care.

Sorry. Get back to me regarding lies that actually affect something.

By the way. How exactly does a Hillary supporter type the word "anymore" in the above sentence?

That presumes you cared at some prior time about lying. A fact certainly not in evidence.

Can you admit that Obama saying that I'll be able to save $2500 a year on my health insurance was a lie?

Don't worry. I'll wait.

I honestly don't care about lies Obama may have told that didn't affect anything.

I mean yeah. I wish they'd never lie. But, if I'm gonna get animated about one, I think I'll save it for ones that influence of affect policy or that are actually about policy.

A lie that amounts to, "I'm awesomer than the other guy" isn't terribly important to me.

They can't and don't. So expect them to deflect with childish answers like:

Melt, Bitch
Trump is still your president

Yes. It was. He was wrong about policy, and the implications of a complicated healthcare bill.

Trump made up that he’s signed more legislation than anyone ever.

Can you see why I’m more concerned about one of those people being President than the other?

It's their liar.

Therefore no one admits anything

This term will be the source for a lot of dissertations.

Frick truth, just win.

Tax bill will be seen as rape by most posters after the truth sets in. They will have to go after your Medicare and social security to pay for tax cuts for the rich and the wto.

Soooo...we have a disingenuous, dishonest asshat as a POTUS?


I am SHOCKED!!!



He is entertaining. But, I don't even expect "truth" from any of these asshats.

Take less of my money away at gunpoint, secure the borders, stopped being so fricking PC......I'll take baby steps on the other parts.

Sure, I care minimally.

The thing is this - Trump's over-exaggerations don't really move the needle one way or the other in terms of substantive effect on the country. Are they foolish? Sure. Do they negatively affect hundreds of thousands of Americans like the ACA did? No. Did it result in the spread of influence of ISIS like Obama's foreign policy did? No. Did it strain relations with Russia like Clinton's support for an illegal Ukraine coup did? No. Did it add nine trillion dollars to the national budget? No.


So are his boasts often false? Yes. In terms of scope and effect, are they as bad as the last eight years? Absolutely not, not even close.

So I guess the next question is this - why are people who sat idly by the last eight years, or even worse cheered on the last administration, now so concerned about the President's twitter account?

I'm actually fascinated here. You just typed the following whether you realize it or not.

"Obama lied about the substance of a bill and its effects on people and Trump lied about how awesome he is.............the latter is MUCH worse!!!">

Think about that shite.
