That chyron from CNN above is the kind of shit people are talking about when they say the media is failing at calling out Trump.

“Falsely suggests”

No, motherfuckers, call it what it is - BALD FACE LIES!

Exactly.  Some of them were starting to use the L-word for a bit, but now seems they have softened up again.  Bullshit.  Don't just call him a liar.  Call him a FUCKING LIAR.

It’s hard to explain this but the media saying Trump LIES over and over isn’t going to move us to a better place.

Trump intentionally lies so the media has to spin their wheels fact checking and calling Trump a liar.  This process creates the perception that the media is out to get Trump and drives his supporters closer to him.  It also sucks up all the coverage time. 

It’s a huge problem and I’m not sure there is an easy solution.

So saying he "falsely suggests" or some other nonsense doesn't create the perception that the media is out to get him?  And the only people that works on are rubes anyway.

They need to stop making the focus of all their stories about trump.  The story is that Florida Republicans are trying to stop counting all the votes, including provisional ballots and overseas ballots, including from the military.  Mention at the end that the president lied about needing an ID to buy Cocoa Puffs.  What they're doing should get the attention.  Not breathlessly covering trump's innanities of the minute.  Stop feeding the narcissist in chief

I’m saying “falsely suggests” is less divisive without abandoning loyalty to the truth. 

I don’t have any easy answers but I think we all want the people trapped in the Trump trance to snap out of it.

Saying he lied about cereal ID implies he knows better. There is ample evidence that he truly believes this one. He is, in fact, a moron.

Agreed. I'm going to give him the benefit of the doubt on this one and just say he's a moron, instead of a liar. I doubt he's ever purchased anything from a supermarket before.

With everything else, he's a liar.

What would you be doing if you knew there was a shit ton of really bad stuff about to come out about you?  I would probably be losing sleep, lashing out at my loved ones, and making everyone I work and come in contact with miserable.  I would use anything to distract, delay and avoid the truth about myself that was about to come out. In other words I would probably be behaving exactly like the Child-in-Chief.

What you are seeing in Donald Trump today, is the REALITY that he simply can no longer avoid.  The Dems are gonna actually look into his dealings.  Mueller has the goods on Trump and the only thing keeping him out of jail, is his current residence at 1800 Pennsylvania Avenue.  He has seen the election creep slowly more and more against his position and he realizes that the reality of fooling people about himself, is gonna eventually come to an end.  In a weird way the GOP has been it's own worst enemy, simply by avoiding at all costs doing ANYTHING that might show facts unfavorable to Trump.  So they protected him in the house and failed to do ANY meaningful oversight of anything in the Administration the last two years.  Simple shit like private flights and abuse of power that NEVER EVER would have stood for any other President's cabinet was routinely ignored, as the GOP's credibility amoung the educated gradually disappears. Not that there are not a lot of well educated people that still don't love Trump, but they often find themselves factually challenged in their droning defense of the President.  I actually had a guy who got a $25 million dollar check last year storm out of a nice bar/restaurant I frequent saying he was "smarter than me" and didn't believe "MY facts!"

What was my crime?  I agreed that the Trump economy is great... and "I only wish the Trump could produce as many jobs as the Obama did, " in dead pan.  He lost his mind.  I simply point out the facts that in Trumps 21 months in office he has produced just over 4,000,000 (if you are dumb enough to think President's produce jobs) and Obama produced about 10% more over the same period just over 4,400,000.  There were not and never were MY facts, they simply were THE facts.  But they did not match with HIS "facts." That presented a consternation, annger and a fight or flight impluse.  I didn't mean to make the guy so mad just stating the truth.  He stormed off with the "I'm smarter than you" as I laughed. He's for damn sure richer than me, but smart people don't avoid the facts. 

So the reason for this personal story is that it is representativel of where the GOP finds itself.  The facts are gonna eventually come out.  You can fool some of the people, but they cannof fool a mojoirty of the people with endless repitition of lies, even with repition assistance of Fox News. The facts will eventually show they protected, coddled and insulated a person of very low principles, vecause the truth about the dirt that is gonna come to light.  I am trying to figure out how the GOP as a whole will deal politically with their "protection racket" as the actual facts about who, and what they have been protecting comes to light. Trump's moronic and unbased ramblings about the recent elections that did NOT go his way, despite his alternative reality press conference the other day are going to continue kids. The man is scared, very scared.  Simply because of one simple and unavoidable fact.  Donald J. Trump knows exactly what the truth is regarding his behavior.  That is why he is so very, very afraid. I would be too...

A man yelled “Heil Hitler, Heil Trump” during the intermission of a performance of Fiddler on the Roof in Baltimore on Wednesday night, alarming audience members. Rich Scherr, a sportswriter for the Baltimore Sun, posted a video of the audience reacting to the outburst to his Facebook page.

The Baltimore Sun reports: ‘Immediately after that, “People started running,” Scherr said. “I’ll be honest, I was waiting to hear a gunshot. I thought, ‘Here we go.’ ” The man was escorted out a few minutes later and the show continued. But Scherr, 49, said it was hard to focus on the play after that. “My heart was just racing. I didn’t even really pay attention to the second act.”

[serious] question: why have most indictments in this shit show dropped on Fridays?

Making people actually sit in jail, instead of with family and friends, over the weekend gets them more to think about resulting in better cooperation versus being out on bail in a 6-12 hours.

Mueller has the goods on Trump and the only thing keeping him out of jail, is his current residence at 1800 Pennsylvania Avenue. 

SCENE: 

NARROW SHOT ON SIDEWALK.

A man walks up to a front door, fishing in his pockets for his keys.  He finds his key ring, fumbles through them until he stops on his key of choice.  He puts it against the lock.  It won't fit.  He looks at the key.   Tries it the other way.  Still won't fit.  Looks up.  He gives the handle a good push.  Nothing.

 

INTERIOR.  

 

A man wakes up in full pajamas.  He just heard something.  Startled, he grabs his bat and tries to locate the sound.  There it is again.  The front door.  He slowly approaches to see what it is.  He looks through the peephole.  Shock.  A look that somehow says exasperation and confusion at the same time.  What on earth is he doing here?  He lowers the bat and opens the door.  The two men are face to face.

Bill:   Uh.  Good evening.  Donald.  Er.  Mr. President.  Whatever.  

Donald:  What are you doing here. . . ?

Bill:  Donald.  We've gone through this now four times.  Your house is two blocks that way.  [he points with the bat]  Go home.  Let's not have a fifth time, okay?

 I can’t imagine being dumb enough to not be able to see through this. Why isn’t Muller (the guy who was specially assigned to investigate “any links and/or coordination between the Russian government and people associated with the Donald Trump campaign”) investigating bad things that the other side did yet? THE WORLD IS FULL OF IMPENETRABLE MYSTERIES. 

It's an interesting duality.  On the one hand,  Trumpkins continue to insist that Mueller's charge is exclusively limited to investigating any coordination between the Russian government and the Trump campaign, and that he is not allowed to pursue or hand off findings of any other illegal activities he uncovers.  However, they can't seem to understand why Mueller isn't digging deeper into Hillary's emails, her private server, the Uranium One deal, etc.

DO SOMETHING!

thats easy. dont get riled up. dont get emotional. just coldly and clinically call him out on each and every lie. and then callously dismiss him as a liar and not someone to take seriously. and then move on to the rest of the news.

I suspect that under that blow dry, hairspray comb over, he's got a really tiny head to match his really tiny hands...and cock.   He doesn't want his hat size to leak.

actually, he's afraid the rain will seep in through his hair and melt his sugary marshmallow brains.

Kind of funny that these tweets show Trump for what he is--an unhinged lunatic.  Dotard has no idea what's going on and trys to put a mole in the investigation and this is the best that he can tweet.  Ladies and gentleman, the president of the free world.
