Straggler Posted February 2, 2018 Share Posted February 2, 2018 It's a lie Quote But according to Nielsen data, Mr Obama's first official State of the Union speech in 2010 attracted 48 million viewers. Mr Clinton's State of the Union pulled in a record 66.9 million television viewers in 1993. Mr Bush pulled in 62.1 million in 2003, a few weeks before the Iraq War. Not that anyone should be surprised that he lies, he tells lies more often than he tells the truth, but how mind blowingly stupid is it to lie about something so easily checked?

Chindie Posted February 2, 2018 VT Supporter Share Posted February 2, 2018 Because he needs to be the best, even if it isn't true. He probably doesn't even know he's lying. It also doesn't really matter that he is lying. Those that will know he's lying (or care to look) aren't going to be on his side. Those that are on his side, won't look and will buy into him even more. So the lie doesn't hurt him. I don't think it's done purposefully like this (he lies about everything, things nobody, even his biggest fans, are likely to care about) but it's a nice side effect. A lie can run around the world before the truth has got it's boots on, to quote a very smart man. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Has he 'normalized' it yet? Who'd have thought some of us would be hankering after the days of 'mis-truths' and 'wrong speak'? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The amount of goalpost moving and refusal to accept reality is incredible. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Czechlad Posted February 2, 2018 Share Posted February 2, 2018 I feel like something big is brewing. Trump keeps attacking the FBI, but now he has this phony proof they are corrupt and anti-trump. I can't imagine he keeps getting away with this while he destroys a whole organization's reputation all because they are looking into his shady background. I just can't believe Trump appoints a guy to be the FBI director, then he goes against his own guy and calls his organization corrupt. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
wazzap24 Posted February 2, 2018 Share Posted February 2, 2018 http://www.bbc.co.uk/news/world-us-canada-42922995 Quote President Trump approves release of controversial memo that is thought to accuse the FBI of abusing its powers Hopefully someone will approve the release of the Russian pee pee tape soon as well. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
villakram Posted February 2, 2018 Share Posted February 2, 2018 It's gonna be a fun weekend. Memo contents, as expected, do not look good for pre-election behavior of FBI/DoJ. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
