"HE LIES AS EASILY AS YOU OR I BREATHE"

"DAVID CAY JOHNSTON: Well, in the case of Donald Trump, keep in mind, Donald Trump lies as easily as you and I breathe. He is, by becoming president of the United States, the number one con artist in the history of the world. He has spent his entire adult life deeply in the embrace of violent felons, Russian mobsters, American mobsters, assorted swindlers and crooks. He has cheated his own workers out of their pay. He has cheated small business people out of their fees. He has swindled investors in properties that were branded with the Trump name. And so, it’s absolutely critical to understand that you can’t rely on anything that Donald Trump says as president of the United States, but especially when he knows that he’s got stuff in his closet to hide."

to warn anyone who would listen about the con artist, habitual liar and swindler that Donald Trump is and always has been. Unfortunately, not enough people heard him.

Who knew? Who knew before the election?

Democrats knew.

RepubliCONs knew but wanted the power.

A few tRump supporters knew but wanted the power. Like the folks in the 1933 election who said "Hitler will be restrained by his advisers; it'll be OK."

Most tRump supporters still do not know. They are the real sheeple; they are Right Wing Authoritarian Followers. They are in denial.

The Trump Junta is actively re-shaping reality by completely dismissing fact, and poisoning the information well to the point where nobody knows what to believe...

And this should worry everyone...

Yeah, I agree the problem is growing like a mushroom cloud.
It's not just Trump any more, it's all the other liars and enablers that are taking over and doing his bidding.
We can't let this get any further.

For heavens sake, impeach Trump before he packs the Supreme Court.
