Liar In Chief: The Trump Truth Check Thread

[icenine]

Oh Hillary won New Hampshire because of massive voter fraud. Now he is being challenged by a New Hampshire election official:

I expect this to be the only lie by President Trump so it should be a short thread.
Now if you see any more lies or suspected lies feel free to post here but I would really be surprised.

I would imagine DAs all over New Hampshire will bringing thousand of felony charges for voter fraud any day now...

From a purely political perspective, I like what Trump is doing to the GOP. He's exposing them for the craven hypocrites they are while buggering them publically. 2018 is going to make the 2006 drubbing the GOP took in congress look like a garden party.

"A permanent U.S. resident living in Texas has been sentenced to eight years in prison for illegally voting, a punishment that will likely result in the woman’s deportation after she completes her sentence.

On Wednesday, a Tarrant County, Tex., jury convicted 37-year-old Rosa Maria Ortega on two felony charges of illegal voting, for casting a ballot as a noncitizen in 2012 and 2014. Ortega is a green-card holder who was brought to the United States from Mexico when she was an infant, her attorney said.

The decision was hailed by some — including Texas Attorney General Ken Paxton (R), who prosecuted the case — as a sign the state intends to crack down on voter fraud." WP

A Report from Herr Twitler's Bunker...:rolleyes:

"JUPITER, Fla. — President Trump said on Saturday that judicial decisions that halted his executive order banning travel from seven predominantly Muslim countries had allowed a flood of “dangerous” refugees to pour into the country.
“Our legal system is broken!” Mr. Trump wrote in a Twitter posting a day after he said that he was considering a wholesale rewriting of the executive order to circumvent legal hurdles quickly but had not ruled out appealing the major defeat he suffered in a federal appeals court on Thursday. “SO DANGEROUS!” the president added.

Mr. Trump cited a report in The Washington Times that asserted that 77 percent of the refugees who entered the United States since Judge James L. Robart of Federal District Court in Seattle blocked the order on Feb. 3 had been from the seven “suspect countries.”
Still, his allusion to a rush of dangerous refugees is somewhat misleading. According to an analysis of data maintained by the State Department’s Refugee Processing Center, the percentage of refugees arriving from those countries — Iran, Iraq, Libya, Somalia, Sudan, Syria and Yemen — has risen considerably since the directive was suspended, but the weekly total of refugees arriving from the targeted countries has risen by only about 100. And all are stringently vetted."

"Waving your hands and saying you're going to bring the coal industry back is misleading at best, malicious at worst."

If you listen to Trump enough you get where he is coming from: he basically wants a return to pre-1964 Civil Rights Act America. He is sort of like Nixon and Archie Bunker but without the human connection. When he talks about Chicago the ghost of Nixon's Law and Order ideology comes to the surface.

Sweden invites in migrants and then segregates and discriminates against them... recipe for long term disaster.

There is a city Malmo which exhibits the main characteristics of Sweden's problem--50% Muslim living in segregated area and without little hope of being employed in the "real Sweden". This results in turf warfare for the drug trade...Muslims nationals/ethnics fighting each other.

Trump is right: Sweden has a migrant problem, but it is much different from that of the US. In the US immigrants were openly allowed to suppress wages --the opposite obtains in Sweden and it is rigid.

Having moved from Denver to Oregon Il., pop. 4,000 I have some perspective on this. Sadly, you won't find any difference. In my case I live in a town/county that voted for Trump by a roughly 65-35 margin. I go into town knowing wherever I go that 6/7 of every ten people I encounter voted for Trump. The fact that so many of my neighbors support a man I see as morally bankrupt and unfit to serve as President is sobering to say the least. In Denver, at least, you have some cultural diversity to remind you that not everyone has lost their collective mind. I too have generally thought people were, for the most part, good. I'd still like to think that's true but I may just be fooling myself.

[CarlV]

Donald Trump has claimed repeatedly that he has had no contact with Russian officials as a presidential candidate.

He was lying.

Trump personally met with the Russian ambassador on April 27, 2016, prior to a major foreign policy speech. The Wall Street Journal, in a report that was little-noticed at the time but was recently picked up by AMERICABlog News, reported the meeting last year.

A few minutes before he made those remarks, Mr. Trump met at a VIP reception with Russia’s ambassador to the U.S., Sergey Ivanovich Kislyak. Mr. Trump warmly greeted Mr. Kislyak and three other foreign ambassadors who came to the reception.

Kislyak, according to multiple contemporaneous news reports, was seated in the front row. It was an invitation-only event.

Trump used the speech to call for warmer relations with Russia. “I believe an easing of tensions, and improved relations with Russia — from a position of strength only — is possible, absolutely possible,” Trump said. “Some say the Russians won’t be reasonable. I intend to find out.”

Russia was pleased with his speech:


Trump has repeatedly insisted that neither he nor anyone on his campaign was in contact with Russia during the election.

“Russia is a ruse. I have nothing to do with Russia. Haven’t made a phone call to Russia in years. Don’t speak to people from Russia,” Trump said during a February 16 press conference. He said he contacts with Russia were limited to talking twice to Vladimir Putin after election day.

On February 20, Trump spokesperson Sarah Sanders flatly declared that the Trump campaign had “no contacts” with Russia.

We’ve since learned that at least four members of the Trump campaign — Jeff Sessions, Michael Flynn, Carter Page, and J.D. Gordon — talked with Russian officials during the campaign.

I guess your statement is the one - society lets them think it is OK to be bad.

Something I noticed while raising Brian, as a nipper if he came in from play and was offered a treat he would ask for the same for his playmates - society teaches them greed.

Speaking of magic numbers, I had 12,345 not too long ago, and never had a clue.

When it comes to numbers, one should check Louis Farrakhan. :D

I am at 88xx and will reach 8888 soon.
Chinese consider the number 8 as a lucky, so with four 8's, I could get lucky four times when that happens. :)

Or I could suspend any more posting and play the stock market for a while.

Thanks for the tip, reminds me of the days when I used to pick horses based on the color jockey was wearing. Did not fare very well but the races were exciting. :D

"But he is not merely amusing. He is dangerous. His choice of falsehoods and his method of spewing them — often in tweets, as if he spent his days and nights glued to his bedside radio and was periodically set off by some drivel uttered by a talk show host who repeated something he’d read on some fringe blog — are a clue to Trump’s thought processes and perhaps his lack of agency. He gives every indication that he is as much the gullible tool of liars as he is the liar in chief."

Should I bet on this instead at 5 to 1 odds, say $100 ? :D
“The money is showing no signs of slowing down and we’ve been forced to cut Trump’s impeachment odds accordingly. We’ve taken five times the amount of bets on him failing to see out his full term than on him doing so,” Ladbrokes spokesperson Jessica Bridge said at the time. “Ladbrokes didn’t even offer odds on Obama being impeached or resigning, which speaks volumes about the current President.”

Has anybody heard about what Agent Orange tweeted about his best fr, oops, comrade Vlad Pootin supplying Assad with nerve gas used on Syrian civilians, or is it Russian jets and pilots marked as Syrian doing this?
The only thing I do know is Agent Orange will blame somebody not himself or Pootin.

He blamed Obama........:rolleyes:

That sure is getting old already, our POS POTUS blaming it on the previous President.

That and blaming everybody else for anything and everything. No buck stops here like a real leader would say. Of course if he was honest with us we would have to impeach him for being a foreign agent.

That is sounding like a alcoholic in denial. Tweeter in denial? :rolleyes:

Fact Checker: Trump's claim that 'no administration has accomplished more in the first 90 days'


----------------------------
"No administration has accomplished more in the first 90 days."

- President Trump, remarks in Kenosha, Wis., April 18, 2017

---

The first 100 days of a presidency is a rather artificial milestone, but one by which all presidents have been measured since Franklin D. Roosevelt's whirlwind of action when he took office in the midst of the Great Depression. President Donald Trump appears especially conscious of this marker. During the presidential campaign, he even issued a list of 60 promises that he said he would fulfill in his first 100 days.

We've been tracking Trump's promises, and so far he has not even taken action on 60 percent of the promises - and he's broken five of them, such as his promise to label China as a currency manipulator.

Trump is boon to factcheckers and comedians everywhere. The rest of us, not so much.

Let's leave him be since with every bonehead decision he makes with the sole intent of deflection, he only manages to dig the hole deeper. With 35% approval rating, he has lost any and all credibility.
