Re: sys, Trump, and lying

I find these kinds of lies so much more egregious and damaging because they are so straightforwardly dishonest and they just dare anyone to contradict how blatantly dishonest the statements are and nothing much happens or changes.

well, you're really weird then. because no one gives a crap if he was anywhere the day before or the day after brexit and doesn't influence public opinion at all in any direction.

lol, yeah. In terms of dangerousness, that lie is near the bottom of the very long list of Trump lies. Also, Chrome spellcheck doesn't think dangerousness is a word, but Google confirms it is. WTF, Alphabet? Get it together...

yeah, it wouldn't matter if he came out and lied about his shirt's color. but his ability to do so is more indicative of his power.

sys · « **Reply #683 on:** July 13, 2018, 02:56:54 PM »

it's really weird that he lies about stuff that is easily disprovable and also really weird that he lies so frequently about so many things. and it's indicative of the same fundamental dishonesty that induces him to run large parts of his presidency as a staged production to manipulate public opinion rather than an actual effort at governance. we disagree about what aspects of that fundamental dishonesty are most amaging to the country.

He’s doing what he knows best

I appreciate the fact that there's now a great concern about theatrics and staging in politics.

It's very refreshing.

We'll cross the lying and theatrics Rubicon when we hear about dodging sniper fire in some far off land. Or that Rubicon might be stepping into a predominately African American church and sounding like he's channeling his inner Bishop TD Jakes.

Look forward to the ceremonial pushing of the "reset" button with Putin.

I think Trump's untruthfulness has a bunch of different sources. Sometimes, he intends to deceive. Sometimes, he doesn't know the exact truth, but doesn't care and just wants to promote himself anyway. Sometimes, he's just confused about facts because he's kinda dumb. Sometimes, his prejudices interfere with his objectivity. And sometimes, he just seems kinda senile. Like below.

The Brookings Institute. Of note popular LibBot publications thought Brookings was a little, err, a lot too cheerleader like for W’s “wars of aggression”. Of course LibBot commentators have long debated Brookings leanings.

But using the W era complaints as our guide. The NewNeo Con is now using a pro aggression entity as their next new bell cow.

The New NeoCon is doubling and tripling down and really accelerating the NeoCon cause.

i thought these dudes would go out of their way to avoid publicly humiliating trump, to keep him soft and sweet.
