LIES, AND THE LYING LIAR WHO SELLS THEM TO HIS CULTISTS:

Back in the day there was a group of old healthcare workers hung around and this was the standing joke - great healthcare in two weeks. And then somewhere in the mess the former guy confessed that healthcare is hard!

We rolled on the floor laughing for weeks on that one. Really? Hard? You don't say!

When someone is offering everything you want, look for the con because there is one even if you can't at first see it.

Trump lied to his cultists about a new and better health care plan but never delivered on his promises, and they still love him for lying to them about one of the most important aspects of their lives.

This is what happens when otherwise sane people buy into a cult leader.

Trump is now promising to end the ACA, and he has nothing planned to replace it, except more lies. But a malignant narcissist doesn't care how his reckless threats would affect people. The only thing a malignant narcissist cares about is himself and how his lies will benefit HIM.

He had his wall funded his first year then reneged on the deal. The guy can't help himself. He's a serial liar and the deluded fools that follow him refuse to admit it.

Shaw Kenawe said...

Joe "Truth 101" Kelly "He's a serial liar..."

And a serial adulterer, a cheat, fraud, adjudicated sexual assaulter/rapist, defamer, and tax fraudster.

And the sailors on the Mother Ship believe he'd be an excellent POTUS to represent America's values!

They hate the guy who's been faithful to his wife, is a real church-goer, hasn't been indicted for anything, hasn't had his mug shot taken, and isn't shopping around for billionaires to pay for his half a billion bond.

I don't know my fellow Americans anymore.

It's almost as though the new normal is simply to accept whatever BS the former guy and his goosestepping party says and just shrug the shoulders. The believers of his fake greatness will always believe his lies and the serious and wiser amoung us know the future will bring the very strong likelihood of trump cultist violence whether he loses or not.

Trump is pure evil and those who sold their souls to the devil in support of his evil will find out soon enough just how bamboozled they really were and remain.

Les: "Trump is pure evil and those who sold their souls to the devil in support of his evil will find out soon enough just how bamboozled they really were and remain."

I wish, Les. I wish.

But remember what Carl Sagan said about people who are bamboozled?:

“One of the sadder lessons of history is: If we’ve been bamboozled long enough, we reject any evidence of the bamboozle. It’s simply too painful to acknowledge that we’ve been taken. Once you give a charlatan power over you, you almost never get it back.”


That applies to all the sailors on the Mother Ship. Unfortunately.

There's no doubt all but a few of the republicans in Congress accept orange Baby Huey for what he is still sit in stoic silence at the guy who has turned they're party into a personality cult remains a mystery to me. A couple senators voted to impeach him after the capitol riot. If I remember only eight republican Congressmen voted to impeach this clown. A few of them are resigning now but that may have more to do with them fearing losing the next election because of the extreme views on women's rights than refusal to be in the same party as Trump.
Harry Truman is almost universally respected by everyone to this day because he said do what you believe is right and polls and elections be damned. (Not the exact quote but it's the gist of his philosophy.) It took Ronna McDaniel a $300,000 contract from NBC to finally admit Trump lost in 2020. I guess this in character for the republicans as a whole. Withhold the truth until you get a big payday. Maybe they should have snuck 300k per republican in Congress to finally tell the truth.

Poor, poor -FJ. We show him Trump's own purty little lips telling the American people many times over that he has a health care plan for the American people. The plan will be better than the ACA.

Trump NEVER had a health care plan. Trump is a liar. That's NOT an opinion, that's an objective truth.

And -FJ, like the good little Trump cultist that he is, posts an objective lie.

So predictable.



Shaw Kenawe said...

Oh, and here are a few more objective truths:

"Trump Criminal Trial Is Set for April 15 as His Attempt at Delay Fails"

First time in our history that a former POTUS will be a defendant in a criminal trial.

Guess who isn't being put on trial: Joe Biden and Hillary Clinton.

Y'know, the ones Trump wants locked up! LOL!

Shaw Kenawe said...

Oh yeah. And the criminal trial in which Trump is a defendant is about hush money he paid to a porn star and a playmate bunny so they wouldn't go public with the information that he was screwing them as his 3rd wife was giving birth to his 5th child.

He thought his "family values" Evangelical Christian followers wouldn't approve of a cheating, lying husband. He was wrong, of course. Think of all the trouble he could have saved himself, not to mention the money he paid the porn star and the playmate bunny, if he just let both of them tell their stories about his betrayal of his sacred marriage vows.

Turns out, the "family values" Evangelical Christians love him for his infidelities, lying, cheating, and frauding.

Trump is their idea of an honorable man.

I've read this about the politicians who still support Trump:

"Long after Trump is gone, the stink of him will stay attached to the political cowards who stuck by him."

Lindsey Graham, Ted Cruz, and Marco Rubio come to mind. Phew!

Les Carpenter said...

I actually find the RCC and Evangelical support for trump perfectly understandable. The very religion of christianity is based on a vengeful god who elevated guilt to the level of a virtue. Thus ensuring the Church's control over society.

While it goes back to i believe 323 CE, when the RCC essentially wrote the modern version of THB, we are observing the ripples of that time in present day America.

Driven by Republicans, Evangelicals, and to a smaller extent the RCC the effort to move to autocratic and authoritarian leadership in America is not surprising.

The Church and Christianity supported Adolph Hitler and Nazi Germany. Is this time round 2?

Dave Miller said...

-FJ the troll stated...

"Liar = someone who expresses an opinion contrary to a progressives."

Not true at all -FJ.

It's more like this...

Liar = someone who expresses an opinion and says it's a fact.

For example... Donald Trump won the 2020 election. That's an opinion. It's a stupid one, but opinion it is, because it cannot be supported by objective facts.

Joe Biden won the 2020 election and is the legitimate president of the United States. This is not opinion, because it supported by an overwhelming body of objective evidence, testimony, counted ballots, and has been shown to be true in over 60 court cases, and the sworn testimony of every single Sec of State and election supervisor in the nation.

Sadly, you can't see the difference.

Dave Dubya said...


-FJ is unable to admit Trump LIES, and he can't admit HE lies:

"Liar = someone who expresses an opinion contrary to a progressives."

So now he MUST believe this whopper:

“No politician in history, and I say this with great surety, has been treated worse or more unfairly.”

Abe Lincoln would disagree, but -FJ thinks Trump is more honest and is the better man.

This is what his opinion is worth.

Mike said...

Lord help me. I ran into someone I knew from when my kids were in school. We were getting along fine until she mentioned the republicans and tRUMP. She said she's voting for tRUMP because he's a good businessman. And then it was Hunter Biden this, Hunter Biden that. I had to get home and lie down to get my heart rate back down.

JoMala "Truth 101" Kelly said...

Too many times the church supports whomever it sees as the most powerful as to align itself and also be powerful. Or at least safe. I'm with Ben Franklin on this. If a church needs government support it can't be much of a church.

Les Carpenter said...

As usual ole Ben usually had it just about right.

Unfortunately few republicans today have the wisdom ole Ben possessed.

Shaw Kenawe said...

Mike: "And then it was Hunter Biden this, Hunter Biden that. I had to get home and lie down to get my heart rate back down."

That's all they've got. And she sounds like someone who watches FAUX NOOZ and Newsmax and parrots whatever she hears them say.

Shaw Kenawe said...

Dave Dubya "This is what his opinion is worth."

Don't forget that most of the time -FJ posts absurd statements just to get attention and get us to respond.

I've said again and again that he's a trickster and conspiracist looking to "stir things up."

Sometimes I respond, just for amusement.

He's really not a serious person.

Reischskonkordat: The Reichskonkordat is the most controversial of several concordats that the Vatican negotiated during the pontificate of Pius XI. It is frequently discussed in works that deal with the rise of Hitler in the early 1930s and the Holocaust. The concordat has been described by some as giving moral legitimacy to the Nazi regime soon after Hitler had acquired quasi-dictatorial powers through the Enabling Act of 1933, an Act itself facilitated through the support of the Catholic Centre Party.


This is what keeps me awake at night: The Evangelical far right Christians and their worship of Trump. A very, very bad combination.

Shaw Kenawe said...

Dave M. I don't think -FJ believes half of what he posts.

Just look at his ridiculous comments on the post I put up today, 3/26, on Trump and his fantasizing about dating his own daughter. -FJ calls that "the highest compliment."

When every mentally healthy human being sees that as an outrageously sick mind slobbering over his daughter's body.

Trump even allowed Howard Stern to call Ivanka "a nice piece of ass," and Trump said it was okay for Stern to say that about Ivanka.

We ALL know what men mean when they call a woman "a nice piece of ass." Trump, being a malignant narcissist, saw this a reflection on him as the producer of such a sexy young woman, and he happily took that egregious remark as a compliment for himself.

Sick.
