It's the lies that are destroying us...

[kentuck]

A leader that lies with every breath does not deserve one iota of respect. They do not deserve the polite attention of the press. They deserve to be called out on their lies and ignored until they are able to speak factually and truthfully.

The press is guilty of fanning the flames of falsehoods. They should see it as an honor to be kicked out of the WH Press Corps. The reporting of lies keep the lies alive and keep the liars in power.

But, we do not expect them to change their reporting after more than a decade of repeating the lies of the tyrant.

The stock market is closed today. We might expect that tomorrow morning these reporters will be fed the news that a deal is close. The stock market manipulators will make a fortune just as they do everytime this trick is played.

It's the lies that are at the root of our problems. Lies can only survive in darkness.

2. This administration certainly does not deserve the benefit of the doubt, ever

[Martin Eden]

3. The DOJ is already losing the "presumption of regularity" in the courts

Dept of Justice lawyers have presented so many deliberate misrepresentations to the courts that judges will no longer give them the benefit of doubt.

4. Democracy dies in daylight

5. No. It is the people believing the lies that are destroying us.

There will always be crooks, liars, con men.

We The People need to be able to tell lies from truth, and crooks from good decent people.

6. I think people will always believe lies and propaganda over the truth.

And they will believe big lies over small ones.
