Lying, morality and choosing/keeping a President
When I was growing up, my parents drilled it into me to be HONEST. To tell the truth. No ifs, ands or buts. No extenuating circumstances. Pretty damn absolutist. My guess is, my parents were an outlier, but maybe not.
I've never even thought or dreamed of being President. My understanding has always been, we want our President to be HONEST. I think most of us understand it's pretty damn difficult, as President, to be 100% honest at all times about everything. But.. at least, keep the f*****g lying down to the absolute bare minimum to avoid national security problems.
Now, we have this f*****g narcissistic sociopath of a President who has made "20,055 false or misleading claims" as of July 9th ( see: https://www.washingtonpost.com/graphics/politics/trump-claims-database/ ). Trump supporters ? No biggie. The rest of us ? A big f***g deal, as Vice President Biden would say.
WTF has happened to our country ? I thought Presidential honesty was a deal-breaker. I guess I have been sadly naive
