When is a Lie Not a Lie?

Trump just said "my father is German, was German. Born in a very wonderful place in Germany." Fred Trump was born in New York. pic.twitter.com/U6eWYPzjrJ — Tommy MMXIXtopher (@tommyxtopher) April 2, 2019 #DonaldTrump, #GlobalIdiot Seriously, it's like sometimes the man can't tell a truth to save his life. And the most troubling aspect of Trump's inability to tell the truth is that #TrumpNation believes his lies as though they are in fact the only truth they have ever heard.

Fox News Viewers Really Are The Dumbest Of Us All

Image
TrumpNation is Dumb And I'm willing to bet, no one who actually watches Fox News saw anything wrong with this text. If it's south of Texas, Arizona and California it must be Mexico, right? It's just another example of how the Faux News station keeps it's viewers ill-informed. In 2012, a Fairleigh Dickinson University survey reported that Fox News viewers were less informed about current events than people who didn't follow the news at all. The survey had asked current events questions like  "Which party has the most seats in the House of Representatives?"  and also asked what source of news people followed. The Fox viewers' current events scores were in the basement. This finding was immediately trumpeted by the liberal media—by Fox, not so much—and has since become known as the Fox News effect. It conjures the image of Fox News as a black hole that sucks facts out of viewers' heads. ~ https://www.forbes.com/sites/quora/2016/07/21/a-rigoro...
Let us never forget, the USA was founded on the separation of church and state. Christian Nationals has no foothold here, no matter how much they try. Need more evidence that prayer is divisive? Speaker Turzai, who controls the invocations and couldn’t keep his jaw from dropping during Borowicz’s prayer, has prohibited certain legislators from delivering prayers. Rep. Brian Sims, an atheist, is  excluded  from this opportunity because of his beliefs. When guest chaplains were permitted to deliver prayers in place of legislators, atheists, humanists, and other secular Americans were similarly excluded— unconstitutionally  according to the courts. https://rewire.news/religion-dispatches/2019/03/27/penn-legislators-jaw-dropping-prayer-showcases-americas-christian-nationalism-problem/

ReWriting Reality

Many President's gave had the opportunity to review reports, findings, tell-all books and more before the public seems them, but every other president is not #DonaldTrump. No, that's not a good thing. Donald Trump has shown himself to be more than cavalier with the truth, distanced from reality, a narcissist and an outright liar. Any one of these things would be circumspect with anyone wanting a chance to "change" inaccuracies, but with Donald Trump it could mean re-writing reality to fit the preferred narrative. And this the American public should not stand by and idly allow him to do. Bana-Republic dictators do this, not leaders of the free world (which one could argue the USA no longer is). People with something to hide do this, not persons confident in their innocence. Narcissists do this to shine a positive light on themselves, not self-confident people of sound mind. No, we cannot trust what we #TrumpNation wants us to know. They're renowned liars with a ...

Kakristocracy of Hypocrisy

#DonaldTrump's administration has to be the most corrupt this country has ever know. And the shocking part of all of this is the same people who cried for Hillary Clinton to be thrown in prison for her use of a private server are the ones saying it's not a big deal that the Trump Administration is circumventing nearly identical laws. Aside from the Kushners, the House committee said other officials such as the former deputy national security adviser K.T. McFarland and former White House chief strategist Steve Bannon used their personal email accounts to discuss the "transfer of sensitive U.S. nuclear technology to Saudi Arabia." The panel produced a  report last month  alleging that the Trump administration sought to rush the transfer of American nuclear technology to Saudi Arabia in potential violation of the law. https://www.npr.org/2019/03/21/705561586/kushner-used-private-email-to-conduct-official-business-house-committee-says

MAGA-Guy versus HR

Image
It was Tuesday ... I did something I've never done in my entire life. I went to HR to complain about another employee. Normally, I would have addressed the issue with said employee, but he wasn't my employee. In fact, after working with him for about 90 days, he'd barely said anything to me other than, "Shut the fuck up" and to tell me to not use his garbage can and to stop fidgeting, it annoyed him . For the record, on that particular day I was indeed fidgeting due to an overabundance of caffeine. But this was not that day, this was a different day. This was Tuesday ... However, before I continue, I need to give a little background on this person. He's one of those MAGA-hat wearing camo-covered members of #TrumpNation. He always talks about killing people, threatens to shoot co-workers when he doesn't like what they have to say and refers to just about everyone as a "pussy". In short, he's an asshat. MAGA-Moron The one time I...

Global Idiot

You know, when I call #DonaldTrump a global idiot, I truly mean he's an idiot on a global scale. I mean, I guess he could have dementia or so ething, but he says he doesn't and he's the smarterest of the smarties - a genius! - and Bo one could ever be as smarterer as him. https://gizmodo.com/president-trump-praises-his-good-friend-tim-apple-1833108410

Yet Another Scandal Surrounding Donald Trump

More scandal for #DonaldTrump as his nomination for the Nobel Peace Prize appears to have been forged ... A total of 329 candidates — 217 individuals and 112 organizations — are being considered for this year’s prize, which will be announced in October. The identities of the candidates are kept secret, and indeed, the Norwegian Nobel Committee, which awards the prizes, is forbidden from divulging any information about its deliberations for 50 years, and even then, only for scholarship purposes and at its discretion. But a wrinkle in this time-honored process — the peace prize was first awarded in 1901 — emerged on Tuesday, when the committee announced that it had uncovered what appeared to be a forged nomination of President Trump for the prize. The matter has been referred to the Oslo police for investigation. Trump’s Nomination for the Nobel Peace Prize Was Apparently Forged. Twice. https://nyti.ms/2FERfWG

Will Climate Change Deniers Ever Believe a Fact?

It seems like every day there's a new article talking about how climate change is altering our planet and every day there is an idiot from #TrumpNation telling us it's okay because their [company of choice] is making a lot of money and creating the occasional job. About 2.5 times as big as Texas, Greenland is home to the second largest ice sheet on the planet after Antarctica. “Altogether, it has enough ice to raise global sea level by 23 feet if it were to fully melt,” says Luke Trusel, a glaciologist at Rowan University and the lead author of the new study. “While we don’t think this will happen any time soon, understanding how it is changing is critical for assessing risk to our coastal communities and livelihoods. Roughly 40 to 50 percent of the U.S. population lives near a coast, so while we might not think about Greenland very much, what happens there matters greatly.” All of that water can also disrupt global ocean circulation that stabilizes contin...

If #DonaldTrump had his way this would indeed be coming to a USA near you, and the #GOP would gladly go down that hole with him. Luckily the Democrats have a say.

I've said it multiple times and I'll say it again: #TrumpNation is the culmination of 40 years of conservative ideology run amok. If nothing else, Trump’s election has disclosed some home truths to a group of Americans who “were asleep, but now maybe are awake”, he says. Among these truths are “that America is not over its racism. That we still have a lot of work to do. That we still have a long way to go to become an equitable and fair nation that lives up to the values that it proclaims to the rest of the world. #DonaldTrump Originally shared by Michael o'donnell A very interesting read on what has happened in the US over the last few decades. ‘We've dug ourselves a really deep hole’ – David Neiwert on the rise of the far right https://www.theguardian.com/world/2019/jan/27/american-exceptionalism-has-to-die-david-neiwert-on-the-rise-of-the-far-right?CMP=Share_AndroidApp_Google%2B https://www.theguardian.com/world/2019/jan/27/american-exceptionalism-has-to-die-david-ne...

We all knew #DonaldTrump was bad for business and we knew #TrumpNation is nothing more than a kakistocracy, but what happens when the fools start following other fools? Even if Trump and his ship of fools and knaves do not start a war in Venezuela, they could just as easily trigger new conflicts in the Middle East or with China, without even meaning to. And Venezuela’s Juan Guaidó should be aware – these people do not make reliable allies. With Trump’s “team of morons” in charge, there is no safety net, no room for error – and no telling what happens next. Originally shared by Joseph Milan This is not getting the attention it deserves.

In #TrumpNation the conservative wing of the Republican party is not conservative enough:

In #TrumpNation the conservative wing of the Republican party is not conservative enough: One of them, Connie Hair, was identified by Ms. Thomas’s group as a conservative columnist when the meeting was being assembled, according to the people. In reality, she is the chief of staff to Representative Louie Gohmert, Republican of Texas. During the campaign, she had posted several comments on Twitter describing Mr. Trump as unfit for office, including calling him “certifiable” and saying he would “never be elected president.” In the meeting, Ms. Hair described herself as a strong Trump supporter, according to those familiar with the events. Ms. Hair did not respond to an email seeking comment. A central focus for Ms. Hair and Ms. Thomas was administration appointments that they wanted made and that they accused the president’s aides of blocking. People familiar with the situation indicated that the people Ms. Hair and Ms. Thomas wanted hired were rejected for a range of reasons, and in at ...

Oh look, the #DonaldTrump administration is looking to skip over the separation clause and dive headfirst into picking winners and losers based on nothing but religion. You're welcome #TrumpNation, we know you have been wanting this: Wednesday’s decision purports to apply only to Miracle Hill, but its reasoning extends to every other foster and adoption agency that asserts a religious mission. Texas Attorney General Ken Paxton has already requested an exemption from the federal rule for all the state’s agencies; Wagner will presumably grant it. Once he does, other conservative states may begin to demand exemptions from the HHS policy, opening the floodgates to widespread discrimination. Non-Christian families and same-sex couples will be turned away from state-subsidized child welfare agencies because of their identity or religious beliefs—discrimination that the Trump administration views as “religious liberty.” With Hobby Lobby, the Supreme Court turned RFRA into a dangerous new ...

If the President's lawyer lies to Congress is that the same as the President lying to Congress? Trump also supported a plan, set up by Cohen, to visit Russia during the presidential campaign, in order to personally meet President Vladimir Putin and jump-start the tower negotiations. “Make it happen,” the sources said Trump told Cohen.
