What is wrong with this ass!? He lied about when he was informed about RBG's passing

[Nexus2]

telling reporters that he just leaned it from them when his aids had told him several moments ago. A small one compared to his other whoppers, but so... pointless. Why?

1. This is what pathological liar do.

It doesn't matter if it is easier to tell the truth. They have a sick need to lie.

2. He lies from habit.

3. he likes playing down the truth.

[icymist]

4. Because this one was on television.

He was playing us.

5. In a strange way I think it changes the subject of the story from Ginsburg

to Trump. 'Why wasn't he informed?' 'Was he so busy he wasn't told?' and other bullshit like that.

As has been said so many times, he wants to be the bride at every wedding and the corpse at every funeral. Move over Ruth and make room for Donny.

7. Yep, it brings the spotlight onto him! n/t

6. He has no grasp of reality, demented, and a liar. A total basket case. And that's the short list!

Plus!!! It brings the spotlight onto him! Takes a psychiatrist to figure what flows through his demented mind.

8. Whopper? Really?

What's the difference betweem "Just learned it" and "several moments ago"?

I put this as a 0 in the Whopper Contest.

12. You misunderstood.

I said that this lie was small compared to the other 'whoopers' he's told. That made is stranger and quite pointless, basically pathological;.

9. What makes it worse is he was described as "giddy"...

... months back at the thought of getting another Court nomination. I was taken in by how subdued and grave he sounded — should have known better by now.

Sick, ghoulish, dickish vulture.

11. Behind the scenes, I'm sure he's still giddy

Probably more so now thinking he can throw a wrench into Biden's momentum while exciting enough single-issue voters to save his ass in November.

When I watched that clip, I immediately thought he was lying about not knowing. That was not a spontaneous response. I'm betting the Administration was updated on Ginsburg's health, her increasingly grave condition.

And yes, they're all ghouls!

10. Pathological liars lie about anything and everything.

No matter how big or small. Evidently can't help themselves.
