Um, I hate lying and that’s the truth. It’s been increasingly frustrating for me since the November Election, especially when I see such blatant lies (they ain’t falsehoods peeps, they’re LIES) plastered all over God’s Creation.
Ha-ha just realized this post has the potential to be never-ending. I’ve got such a jumble of unreleased frustrations about this that I can’t really organize them properly. Should I tackle them as they come in or should I go back over the last few months & create an ongoing list? I want this information to be readily available so I can wield it when needed. Hmmm.
I’ll need to think about this for a bit. I don’t anticipate many people will see this blog but in case someone finds it I would like it be somewhat coherent.
As an example, I’ll use an ongoing lie that came up just today during HIS Press Conference. And FYI, I will never use his name here. I have enough respect for the office of POTUS to recognize that he disrespects it each time he walks into The Oval Office. I digress.
Anyway, the ongoing lie. Today he says something along the lines of “My Electoral College victory was the largest since President Reagan!” and he continued to blither blather on incoherently about it. A reporter from NBC, Peter Alexander, called HIM out for it. Seems his statement wasn’t true. Bush 41, Clinton x 2 elections, Obama x 2 elections, all had larger Electoral College victories than our current POTUS. In fact, Bush 41 won something like 426 electoral votes, about 120 MORE than our current POTUS.
Yet he stands up there on National Television & lies. Then gets called out for it. His reply? “Well, that’s what I was told” or “That’s the information I was given” or something along those lines. Guess what POTUS? You’re POTUS! The buck stops with you. End of discussion.
I believe the lies are a calculated strategy for a very simple, logical reason. He, along with his minions, knows that MOST of his base (discussion about his base to come later) eats this shit up like candy. They believe everything he says. Doesn’t matter if evidence is produced proving the lies. That evidence must be fake news, right??!! (Soon I’ll rant about Fake News).
Another rant coming soon is my thoughts on his victory, his assertions that it was a landslide, that he has a mandate, etc. Because guess what folks? He doesn’t have a mandate. It wasn’t a landslide. More lies.
This is longer than I planned so I’ll wrap up for now. I do my best to post accurate facts. If I post something that ends up being wrong and I find out about it I will correct it. As far as sourcing goes, I’m too tired for that right now. Use Google. No, wait, don’t. Not until you read my rant about “fake news”.
Also, something else that I’ll tell you and will continue to tell you going forward. I’m not a diehard Democrat/flaming liberal. I’m not a diehard Republican/far right wingnut. I’m not Libertarian or Green Party. I’m truly Independent. My complaints can apply to both parties. My votes are never straight Democrat or Republican, I’ll rant about that another day. Right now, because he is POTUS, his lies will be my targets. If it were HRC as POTUS & this was happening, I’d call her out for it also.
