He just held a press conference that was carried on C-SPAN. His take on the explanation of Hegseth's reported double tap strike : "The White House is lying, but that's no surprise, because they lie for a living and the American people know it."
Simple. Blunt. Rude. I kind of like it.

And the people know it; the problem is far too many dont care, while the rest of America has become numb to Trumps lying, corruption, and criminality where responding is pointless.

(4,082 posts)...nothing they do will matter. The learned helplessness Americans feel has been part of the project from the start of the fascist takeover. We have to somehow help to turn that around and show people they DO have agency.

Can't have calling the Liars "Liars".
That's why it's Especially Nice to get a report from C-Span which I for one would not have known about.

It's called LYING. Simple and accurate.
They are LYING.

(24,128 posts)doesn't seem to be holding back. He even had visual aids (posters) with the words "they're lying" or something like that in huge letters.

senseandsensibility
(24,128 posts)I don't know if I'm confusing it with another case, but I remember something like that. People were speculating about what would happen to the survivors on the boat and what their story would be.

(15,232 posts)During his 1st term, I wanted every reply from a Democrat prefaced with:
"Let's remember that Donald Trump is a pathological liar with zero credibility."
senseandsensibility
(24,128 posts)I don't think it's too late. Maybe just tweek it a little to reflect that the R party is always lying. Let's use it for the midterms!

(2,589 posts)Why would they when the usual drugs in that area would be weed and cocaine destined for neighboring countries?
Like America, willing customers.
Those boats do not have the range to get to CONUS.
LIES, right from the start!
We are very familiar when politicians play war on drugs.
Does chump have a Drug Czar yet?
More Russian influence.
If someone is doing street drugs and experiences a negative outcome, it was their choice. Like prostitution, their will never be a victory in a WOD. EVER!
Personal Responsibility is no longer a virtue.
We have a Nanny State.
EPSTEIN!!

Meanwhile, Proud Boyz and Oath-Keepers hunt down People of a non-White Persuasion down like dogs for bounty, and amass weapons in their forest lairs, grooming their spawn to hate the Libz.
It remains a salient feature that no witnesses or evidence of drug trafficking were saved to provide a rebuttal to the charges against them.
Sloppy work for a Whack.
And it STILL constitutes a breach of the Law.
