How dare Trump not do the things they're lying about.

The nerve.

"It’s no wonder Americans can’t be bothered with this crap."

A new danger: Chinks in the narrative happen so quickly and inevitably that these stories are becoming dog-bites-man boring.

I'm waiting for the made up "emergency" by the Korporate 4th branch of government (bureaucrats) that will "postpone" the election in November....

I've wondered about this and think I have figured it out. Trump has been an outrageous character all of my adult life. One who I went to great lengths and failed to avoid whenever possible. He was a man who has looked for notoriety all of his life.

What I knew , and did not like, about the man was that he was a loud mouthed publicity hound who was a great promoter of his most valuable product, himself who appeared to go to any lengths to do so. Nothing seemed beneath him. So when the Russian story broke I , like the FBI, believed it because that just sounded like something he would do. My first take was to believe the stories because I did like him personally. i still don't but I did realize that his policies were correct which made me look beneath the facade past my personal preferences. I suspect people who have not done that and specifically people who do not agree with the policies will never do that. Thus they will believe any rumor, the more worse, the better, and never question the veracity.

"Sources close to NN alluded to event XX having taken place, though no actual evidence has been presented so far. Yet, this allusion has been corroborated by many other sources too."

No lies, just chinese whispers writ large.

Cicero used to use that technique two millennia ago to get people off the hook for murder one: not lying, no making up stuff, no telling tall tales - just alluding to the existence of rumours, making it necessary to repeat said rumours without comitting slander, fraud or libel.

And a rumour repeated often enough becomes both true and truth: to the human brain, the more information is repeated, the truer it is.

Why?

Lying (about everything) is all the Left has - it’s all Socialists ever had.

These Democrats and Rinos (Trojan Horse Dems) are totally crazy. We have so many problems, people are suffering, and these idiots keep their stupid Kabuki Crap nonstop. They all need to be committed to an asylum and I support lobotomies for all of them.

Ive always been convinced that most republican are politicians first. That is no revelation but what explains the GOP politicians is that they would have preferred to run and govern as democrats but failed due to lack of talent. Thus, they opted for the GOP to achieve their goal as there was an open field in the GOP since talented people who truly believe in what the GOP pretends to believe would never consider wasting their talent in government.

The authoritarian left, of which the Democratic Party forms the core, has shown itself to be intolerant of others' views and to believe that if one is on the "right" side of issues, nothing else matters. This is how tyranny always starts.

I found Trump the most genuine president in my lifetime. Agree with him or not, he is a wild and crazy man. If the US was to have a 'vanity president', he was actually pretty amusing. And the vitriol the spited spewed, priceless. I trust Don as far as I can throw him; the fossilized Dem party after their little hissy fit that morphed into woke and the fracturing of any unity, not at all.

Well, my friend told me her brother's college roommate was in that vehicle, and he definitely saw President Trump grab the wheel with one hand and throttle the driver with the other while chomping on a ketchup-smothered steak, which he ended up tossing at the driver. With his third and fourth hands. That's what I was told.

I'm still waiting for the Capitol Police to investigate AOC's charges last year that Sen. Cruz was "trying to murder her."

I don't understand why such a serious situation still goes unexplored. After all, that's a grave allegation.

It kind of reminds me of this.

Considering that state officials usually ride in the back seats of their procession vehicles, I can't get the visual out of my head of 74 year old Trump "lunging" for the steering wheel. Lmfao. 😂

The story sounded realistic to the Progressives who made it up, because that's the kinda stuff _they_ do when pissed off.

Agreed. Progressive projection professionally provided.

So many times I’ve come to trumps defense. I’ve multiple times posted the info he was winning at 3am in the swing states.

But....

He keeps defending his precious shots.

Enough.

Yup. Trump is toast. I don't believe he's down with the depopulation agenda - but he got fooled like a chump.

Let's hope he stays retired.

Though I never supported Trump (or any "king of the world" for about 20 years), if Trump's trying to win the possibility of me (and many others like me who don't believe in voting for a king to rule over us) going against my/our principles and giving in to vote this time around... I completely agree with you. "Warp(ed) speed" is a world wide disaster unlike any in world history IMHO. He's not winning me over by continuing to push this poison on the world. There's too much data available that proves this crap is, at a minimum, dangerous. Someone who is supposedly intelligent should be able to see that and at least humble themselves and say they were wrong. His pig headedness on this shot only makes me suspicious that he got paid.

She made her statements well phrased to avoid lying. She had been clearly coached. What is so surprising is that they were quite aware of the truth from earlier interrogations. They must have thought the rebuttal would arrive later not the same day. Still the press was able to get the story out to the less well informed as if that mattered.

"Or does that not apply to show trials?" I believe the rules for Stalinesque show trials implicitly state, "Truths are to be avoided at all costs - unless those truths can be twisted to defame Trump".

I definitely think the use of the words "show trial" has no negative connotation to leftists. They think that a trial that "shows" everyone that someone is bad is in fact a good thing. "Show trial," "struggle session" and "cultural revolution" are all good things to your average leftist ignorant of history.
