    President Trump has made 9,014 false or misleading claims over 773 days

    https://www.washingtonpost.com/poli...ding-claims-over-days/?utm_term=.7c774d9a0a21

    "Powered by his two-hour stemwinder at the Conservative Political Action Conference on March 2 — which featured more than 100 false or misleading claims — President Trump is on pace to exceed his daily quota set during his first two years in office.

    The president averaged nearly 5.9 false or misleading claims a day in his first year in office. He hit nearly 16.5 a day in his second year. So far in 2019, he’s averaging nearly 22 claims a day."

    It might be helpful to listen to a discussion about the disorienting effect the volume of lies coming from this admin can have.

    http://www.politicalforum.com/index.php?threads/for-progressives-eyes-only.551803/
    .............................................................................................................
    The withering onslaught of falsehoods emanating from all corners of the admin is impossible to keep up with. How can the public fully absorb the implication of a lie or an example of corruption on a Monday when by Friday there have been 25 more examples?

    Dirty Donnie is a pathological liar ?

    Color me shocked. Now what would REALLY be shocking would be one of his trumpettes stepping up and acknowledging this. Of course, they are too sheep-ish to do this and absolutely love having a proxy lie for them. Let the hate flow, trumpettes.

    In other news, the sky is blue.

    Most people aren't too impressed with subjective lists invented by corrupt organizations like WaPo.

    I recognize their well trained target audience clings to them as if they have been presented with actual truth.

    One thing is for sure, we have a lot of 'them' to cling to while you trump lovers are restricted to FOX. It's hard to figure out why. Doesn't seem fair does it?

    Hard to figure out why?

    Your sources discovered a gold mine of profit if they create content to feed your confirmation bias.

    Just as far left outfits like PolitiFact have been proven to be frauds, so have the left's other propaganda ministries.

    Think about the level of obsession with dog whistles and click bait. Evidence? Fox News is the bulls eye of the uninformed on the left. Why? Because they've been told to believe that. Hell, it only reaches 3 million or so people, yet 62 million voted for Trump.

    When WaPo or politifact "fact checks" the onion about Somolete getting hired at CNN after being found out about his hoax, yeah, I stop caring what they have to say.

    Few things upset Trumpers like being reminded they support and defend the most prolific, documented liar ever to appear on the American political scene.

    Dems haven’t learned.

    Don’t take what Trump says literally or even seriously. Just pay attention to what he does. And what he does is very, very good.

    Yes, Trump says he has "yuge hands" and WaPo calls that a lie. Trump supporters are supposed to abandon Trump forever cause of that "lie".

    Oh look, Obama got "liar of the year" because of Obama care that cost millions of people their insurance, income, doctors etc...But Obama wasn't "lying lying", and Obama followers are "brave" to keep endorsing him while those who call out the lies are "racists".

    And the American public wasn't supposed to take Obama seriously when he said energy prices skyrocket under cap and trade.

    Perhaps you should stop and think about that for a moment. You've just made an excuse for nothing the POTUS says to be believed. Can you appreciate how crazy that is?

    Care to cite any examples regarding PolitFact. Just love it when people make unsubstantiated claims.

    There are thousands. I just love knee jerk emotional reactions made without taking any time to learn if a statement is true. It's called attacking from ignorance.

    Fact:

    PolitiFact is operated by the Tampa Bay Times, which is published by the Poynter Institute, a far left operation creating biased journalists. The Poynter Institute has an ongoing financial and ideological relationship with George Soros Open Society Foundation, the radical left Knight Foundation, and many other organizations of similar ideological imperatives and objectives.

    The unspoken reality is this. By their continued support they are in essence proclaiming a complete indifference to whether anything the man says can be relied on to be the truth. That goes for his moral and ethical failures as well.

    The salient question is why? What allows them to ignore the total lack of honesty, integrity, or moral character?

    Copyright rules prevent me from pasting more than a few.

    “A state called Michigan, where — by the way — where Fiat Chrysler just announced a four and a half billion dollar incredible expansion and new plant doubling their workforce. Many, many car companies have moved back to Michigan and are continuing to do so.”

    Fiat Chrysler did announce this expansion in Michigan, but Trump leaves out that it announced 1,500 layoffs in Illinois at the same time. It’s a big exaggeration to say many car companies have moved back to Michigan, though Chrysler has announced several new investments there under Trump.

    “The Green New Deal … No planes. No energy.”

    The Green New Deal is a nonbinding resolution in Congress, and it would not ban air travel or energy. Rep. Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez (D-N.Y.), a sponsor, released an FAQ document alongside the resolution that mused about banning air travel. But it was not a definitive call to end air travel, and, in any case, Ocasio-Cortez retracted the FAQ within days.

    “When the wind stops blowing, that’s the end of your electric.”

    Nope. Wind turbines do not generate power when there’s no wind, but the power grid can handle this variability.

    Here's a representative example of what they call a lie:

    Claim: The President claimed the sky is blue.

    Scientific Truth: It's not actually blue, but many shades of refracted light that the eye perceives as blue, but may also contain shades of green and others.

    Result: The President lied. #10,145,237...

    It's so pathetic.....
