The Republicans' "president"* is a liar.









At a crucial time for our country, millions of Americans as well as people around the world, do not believe the explanations are coming out of Trump's White House from him and his people about the Iran crisis.

Trump has based his entire political career on lies. I believe nothing he or his people say about the reasons for assassinating Suleimani.

Trump has no credibiity here or abroad.



DISGRACED LIAR


No one believes Trump:


“This is where having credibility — and having a president who didn’t lie about everything — would be really, really helpful,” Samantha Power, the former United States ambassador to the United Nations, wrote recently. 

 A president with credibility would be better able to persuade foreign governments to help protect American diplomats and military members who are now at risk. 

 A president with credibility would be more likely to beat Iran in the global court of public opinion. 

 A president with credibility would be able to set clear red lines that might influence Iran’s behavior in coming weeks. 

 But President Trump has no credibility. His political rise was built on a lie (about Barack Obama’s birthplace). He has told thousands of untruths since becoming president. He appears to be lying again — about why he ordered the assassination of Qassim Suleimani, Iran’s most significant military leader. 

 Over the weekend, Senator Chris Murphy, the Connecticut Democrat, tweeted the following: “The moment we all feared is likely upon us.” Murphy was referring to Trump’s rash behavior. But Murphy just as easily could have been referring to Trump’s credibility. 

The United States has entered a serious national security conflict, and the whole world knows our president is a habitual liar."




*Why do I label Trump "the Republicans' "president?" Because he appeals only to his base. He visits only the states that supported him in 2016. He has insulted New York, California, Puerto Rico, and other areas of the country where he did not win. 

Trump has divided an already divided country and made it worse.

Trump predicted that President Obama would go to war with Iran in order to get re-elected in 2011. We've seen and heard the videos of him saying so.

And this is where we are. Ready to go to war with Iran so that Trump can avoid impeachment and get re-elected.

He's a monster.

So what you are saying is he is becoming a politician. No new taxes, I didn't have sex with that women, there is proof of WMD's and the big one, you can keep your doctor. All of these were lies by presidents and they knew it when they said it so this is not new.

All I can say skud is it's a good thing you're not a elected rep, senator, or president. Folks with your logic are the very ones who are most prone to becoming a corrupted elected official like Trump, McConnell, Graham, Nunes, Jorden, etc..

Why so many are so willing to accept Trumps pathological lying and his disrespect for our Constitution and the democratic institutions of our republic is nothing short of astounding.

The good news is, Trum p.l won't be around forever. Real patriotic Americans are hoping he's gone in a year. Before he succeeds in destroying our democratic republic.

DON'T WORRY AMERICA! THE DEMENTIA-RIDDLED FORMER HOST OF CELEBRITY APPRENTICE WILL SAVE US FROM THE CONFLICT HE STARTED!

RN, Just think in ten months he will be a lame duck but until then he is the president. I know that pains you and blueballs but that is the way it is. Nothing I said is untrue but instead of providing something you and BB would rather just attack.
The question now is are we going to have socialist president or a do nothing but nice guy president who's only claim to fame is he was a lackey for the swell guy. I have never felt trump is re-electable and unless the republicans put up a decent candidate it will be a new day for the country entering into the socialist era. After all the US was just a big experiment that lasted longer the many thought and now our corrupt politicians will gain total control over every individual, a democrats dream.

OOOOOOHHHHHHHH Skid has rolled out the 'socialism' word. Be afraid, Americans, be very afraid. Now that the fascist right has unleashed the word 'socialism' it is your duty to run around screaming with your hair on fire and vow to vote for anything that the fascist right doesn't call 'socialist'. You have your orders, Americans -- now get about being terrified!

Les Carpenter said...

Yup. sud is on ignore BlueBull. The game has grown tedious with skud.

anymouse said...

I can well understand that, RN.

skudrunner said...

Blueballs, I am not fine with socialism but I understand you supporting it. I do believe the American dream is available to everyone willing to Work for it. Your acceptance of socialism, or the obama doctrine of steal from the productive to give to the non productive is a dream of yours but not mine.

If you weren't so pathetically obvious in the lies you constantly spew on here, Skid, you'd be annoying. As it is, you're really just kinda sad. You have my pity for whatever went so wrong in your life, Son.
