    above proves my point ...and I differ ...you bought into the idea lying is harmless

    you are saying, telling lies is ok because it does not effect "me"

    I know a con artist when I see one

    and I know when I see a person that has fallen for the con

    and BTW

    trump is too chicken to fight much less start a war

    who decides what lies are the little white lies??

    little white lies??

    they are acceptable when the question is some thing like

    a woman asks her husband "do I look fat in the dress?"

    the list of lies said by trump is too long to type

    but they are not harmless

    his lies are to deceive voters ..kinda like

    Ukraine meddled in the 2016 election

    I just watched 13 people testify Ukraine did not meddle

    and the rumor that ukraine did meddle is from russia

    and everytime someone says it was ukraine and not russia

    it what the russians want ...to divide and conquer

    Tonight the 49ers beat the packers 37-8 Were they using your system, the 49ers would have to hand over to the Packers at least 15 points. Why would that be fair?

    Yet not one of the 13 actually investigated Ukraine. For a rather odd reason, still unknown, Democrats want to or need to paint Ukraine as not guilty. This despite the country ranking 3 in the world as being corrupt.

    One ranking group names Somalia as the most corrupt. The Hearings witnesses spoke of Ukraine as 3.

    81 is my age. Look, do you understand how many times Obama lied? Sure Trump presses the truth hard but when he is not honest, it is not important things. So many truly like the man, and why is that? He is attacked daily. Attacked by the Media, the Democrats and a lot less independents and republicans. Haw your wife been 100 percent honest with you? That matters a lot more than what Trump does.

    Deceit is when you say what is the meaning of is , is?

    Deceit is when you say shovel ready jobs or you can keep your doctor

    Deceit is saying oh you wipe your server with a cloth.

    How old are you?

    Frankly to say Trump is a threat to anything is not only untrue but unproductive to claim.

    Who determines if the rent is "too high"? You and Morgan Boydston? Nope.

    The rent is determined between the owner of the property and the person who rents it.

    so why does the right always complain we can't afford tax cuts for the working class, but the tax cuts for the rich are free

    the fact is, tax cuts are not free, that was money due the government that it no longer gets which now means the working class have to pay that debt back instead

    society, if the high rents are hurting society then they are too high

    if it keeps going like this maybe the government needs to compete with the private sector and offer public housing options

    That's it right there, the part I bolded. Trump lies almost constantly and about almost everything. You can't trust anything he says.

    And Trump lies though his teeth and in your face. He lies even when the truth is known by everyone and right next to him. He doesn't argue anything, he states what he thinks and just steamrolls over any disagreement. This is the first time I can recall ANY President actually verbally attacking a reporter who asked a difficult question. It used to be that competent pols welcomed hard questions, it gave them a chance to look good. At worst they might ignore somebody but they would NEVER just attack someone

    Leadership isn't bullying

    Now , ALL politicians lie but Trump has abused the privilege and his minions have taken their cue from that.

    That's a major reason I see for the division, certainly not the only one but a major cause. We non-Trumpers don't BELIEVE Trump, and we've come not to believe his followers because they support his lies and we resent the fact that his followers lie to us and expect us to believe them

    Keep the Government out of private sector business and society will take care of its self.
    Government is best that governs least.

    Will the 2020 election be just as divisive as 2016?

    Perhaps a war will break out? I fear this is death for the democratic party - and they know this - so perhaps something drastic might happen. Are we prepared for this outcome? Anyone agree that we may have a problem on our hands here?

    housing got cheaper, when I was younger my first apartment was $230 a month, single bedroom, single bath, kitchen\living room joined - young people need this to start out and not in run down areas, the rift raft need to be evicted

    No, I said and admitted that all pols lie. Trump just lies far more than anyone I know of or can even remember. Even Nixon didn't lie half as much as Trump

    Trump is the first one who has made me skeptical about ANYTHING he says. I don't even trust his government statistics. He's not above having his people give us falsified figures and who would gainsay him? He's threatened the life of this whistleblower

    And exactly what is this "rift raft" that you speak of? Since you used the word "evicted," I assume "rift raft" must be some group of people? What group?

    So who determines if the rents are hurting society? You and Morgan Boydston? If society agrees to pay those rents, society is agreeing that the rents are acceptable.

    The free market gives the consumer exactly what he or she agrees to pay for. When society refuses to pay the "unaffordable rents," society will get cheaper rents. As it stands, society is perfectly fine with the rent.
