"All the investigators are Democrats." Another tRump LIE that is never challenged by the WHPC

The Asshole said it again this morning. He even attempted to fortify his lie by saying “Mueller worked for Obama for 8 years.” Mueller was there for 4 years under Obama...as if an R working in a D administration makes them automatically anti-tRump.

Mueller is a Republican as are many of the investigators.

Such a lying asshole.

They have to start speaking up --- yes, I know they do, but NOT ENOUGH. They've got to figure out a way to make themselves heard, make enough noise to get the press coverage required.

This is one major lie they need to counter, but there are a few others. I'm weary of waiting.

a woman, or even a Republican, the evidence remains the same. Trump's only argument is a weak lie that it must be some disgruntled Dems out to get him. Note that he never mentions all the indictments, the subpoenas, the charges, the guilty pleas, the judge approved warrants, the court ordered wiretapping, the ankle monitors, signed confessions, sworn testimonies, grand juries, the seizures of records and financial data, email and text records, dozens of subpoenas, and all the incriminating videos and photos. He doesn't dare talk about the evidence because he knows he's guilty.

They don't hear howls of outrage, so I don't think that yanking a troublesome reporter's credentials is remotely beyond them.

DJT doesn't just stretch the truth he tells outright lies. I honestly believe he knows his followers will believe every single word he says even tho they know they are lies. It is a method he has honed used his whole life to get his own way. Another method of his is to say terrible things about people that disagree with him. I'm sure everyone around him lives in fear of being 'next on his list'. It is his way of controlling people and it is sad and stupid.

As long as he’s in office, they’re “winning.”

They are like sports fans whose team wins on a bad call by the refs. Even after the replay shows the call was clearly wrong, they insist “a win is a win.”

even if the press was dedicated to pointing out all his falsehoods, they'd never succeed in keeping up.
