I just listened to NPR's recent interview with you know who

Talk about bullshit- all that con artist did was repeat the same old crap over and over and over. It never matters how much of his bullshit has been debunked and proven false. He just goes with it, and gets away with it because he has idiots that will support him no matter how much he lies and deflects.
What a sorry excuse for a human being.

Get out the vote!

He sounded to me like an unfunny comedian reading his act out loud for the millionth time. Its untrue,unoriginal,uninteresting at this point. It would be sad if he didn't have a cult believing his every mouth spew.

he was cheated and that he had won, as he had so many sycophants around him, telling him it was true. He is extremely impressionable and easily turned, especially if it appeals to his ego. And with many compulsive liars, he repeats his lies so often, he begins to believe them. Clearly, he has little or no grasp on reality anymore.

Really doesn't know or comprehend what he's saying - "findings" - but has heard Dems say it, figures it must mean "something" and thinks it makes him sound like he knows what what he's talking about,

"Yeah, yeah...it's in the 'findings. Take a look at the findings.."

Toxic idiot. Psychopath.

Inskeep pushed harder than I have ever heard against the stream of obvious bullshit.

Gotta give TFG credit for getting away with this his whole life with basically NO ONE ever calling him to account, with any results.

Just shows how CORRUPTIBLE most people are!

Small wonder he's been sued 4,095 times by those he's lied to, stiffed, defrauded or sexually abused over the last thirty years.

[link:https://www.hopkinsguides.com/hopkins/view/Johns_Hopkins_Psychiatry_Guide/787025/all/Thought_Disorder|

Formal thought disorder descriptors (adapted from the Thought, Language, and Communication scale)[1]:

Poverty of speech: restricted quantity of speech; brief, unelaborated responses
Poverty of content of speech: adequate speech quantity with prominent vagueness and inappropriate level of abstraction
Pressure of speech: increased rate and quantity of speech; speech may be loud and difficult to interrupt
Distractible speech: topic maintenance difficulties due to distraction by nearby stimulus
Tangentiality: Replies to questions are off-point or totally irrelevant.
Derailment (loosening of associations): spontaneous speech with marked impairments in topic maintenance
Incoherence (word salad, schizaphasia): severe lack of speech cohesion at the basic level of syntax and/or semantics within sentences
Illogicality: marked errors in inferential logic
Clanging: speech in which word choice is governed by word sound rather than meaning; word choice may show rhyming or punning associations
Neologism: the creation of new "words"
Word approximations: unconventional and idiosyncratic word use
Circumstantiality: excessively indirect speech; speech is liable to be overinclusive and include irrelevant detail
Loss of goal: difficulty in topic maintenance in reference to failure to arrive at the implicit goal of a statement
Perseveration: excessive repetition of words, ideas, or subjects
Echolalia: speech repeats words or phrases of interviewer
Blocking: interruption of speech while ostensibly in pursuit of a goal
Stilted speech: odd language use that may be excessively formal, pompous, outdated, or quaint
Self-reference: The patient is liable to refer the subject of conversation back to him/herself.
Paraphasic error (phonemic): word mispronunciation, slip of the tongue
Paraphasic error (semantic): substitution of an inappropriate word to make a specific statement

I listened to see if NPR would challenge him, not much, and would let him go on and on with the lies after each question.
