Hmmn... What I didn't notice was examples of past presidents making totally wrong statements about hurricane weather warnings (which incidentally started a panic in Alabama) , being corrected by the National Weather Bureau, then denying he was wrong and THEN, using a weather bureau advisory picture on TV with a hand drawn extra loop to justify the stupidity and lying he had engaged in.

This is classic . This guy could walk down 5th Avenue , blow the brains out a random dude and then deny it with enough brazenness to get a medal. (Particularly if he as giving out the medals.)

Trump shows fake hurricane map in apparent bid to validate incorrect tweet
  • Trump points to map with black loop extending hurricane’s path
  • President made baseless claim that Alabama would be affected

Umm
Bill Clinton enabled the gfc, Bush started a war and Obamas list is too long to mention.
And you pull out 'Trump with his box of crayons map' as the pinnacle?

No. Not the pinnacle. I think you mean the worst example of complete mistakes and then making up things afterwards to defend them. And I'm totally sure he will make more and worst and that his rusted on supporters will continue to point elsewhere in defense of the indefensible.

Don Liar has only made about 12,000 known lies in his time in office. They have been counted . This just happens to have one of the most pointless and stoopid ones.
(But it does demonstrate his power to recreate reality doesn't it ? And his capacity to convince the lemmings that follow him that he is never ever wrong.)

It looks exactly like a six year old repeatedly saying they didn't redecorate the lounge room wall with the texta while holding the texta in front of the wall and having ink all over his hand.

Trump’s Most Pointless Lie
The president keeps insisting that Hurricane Dorian was forecast to hit Alabama.

... no single subject has transfixed the president so consistently over the past week as attempting to prove that, at some point in the past, Hurricane Dorian was headed to Alabama. The Washington Post calculates that Trump has told more than 12,000 lies since becoming president, but this might be the most pointless of them all.

The groundwork was laid on Sunday, when during a briefing about the storm, Trump said, “It may get a little piece of a great place: It’s called Alabama. And Alabama could even be in for at least some very strong winds and something more than that, it could be. This just came up, unfortunately. It’s the size of—the storm that we’re talking about. So, for Alabama, just please be careful also.”

The only problem here is that this was patently untrue—so untrue, in fact, that the National Weather Service’s office in Birmingham hastened to correct it: “Alabama will NOT see any impacts from #Dorian. We repeat, no impacts from Hurricane #Dorian will be felt across Alabama. The system will remain too far east.” News reports also pointed out that the president said something false, though that hardly qualifies as news anymore.

One thing that is being said is that the trade war is to stop China becoming the world's largest economy.Watching the egos involved this sounds like a legitimate view.
 
There is an excellent analysis of the Sharpe story on Morning Joe MSNBC. Towards the end a Republican supporter notes that Donald Trumps inability to tell the truth undermines all efforts to come to agreements on the political and economic front. Think China, Think Iran. He is just not believed.

There was another observation about how the residue of his refusal to acknowledge he has ever made a mistake and the fact the GOP has not been strong enough to call him out will undermine the Republician Party after he has gone.

Meh....

Must be hard after the whole Russian thing fell through.
Bet James Comey is starting to sweat now the attention has turned to him. And what a treasure trove of illegality that might turn out to be.
 
Trumps safe until the GOP turn on him or something (deliberately accidentally) happens to him
I expect to see Pence as the Republican contesting the election in 2020.

Once upon a time there were actually intelligent, graceful politicians who offered each other mutual respect while they recognised their different political views.

Obama was one of the worst leaders in history. Bush went to war on a lie. These guys were the reason trump got in.

Right now we have a similar situation in Australia where our politicians are failing us on both sides.
Trump unmasked the lot of them by showing how truly sht they all are. Theres no going back now.
God bless that orange man...

Might come down to the numbers. Dems seem to be digging a hole for themselves. None of their candidates are any good either.

I didn't think trump could clinch the top spot again looking at the numbers he has to make. But who knows.

Contain China is the name of the game. And its needed.
As bad as the US is, China is a lot worse.

If Trump isn't El Presidente again after 2020, I'll pay for your hookers for the next four years... Deal?
 
Impeachment process to begin. Nancy Pelosi lost.
She rightly said it would be a distraction and pointless (as the Republicans control congress).


Joe Biden

✔ @JoeBiden


President Trump's actions are an abuse of power. They undermine our national security. They violate the oath of office. If we allow a President to get away with shredding the United States Constitution — that will last forever.
