The President of the United States

Let's say that again:

THE PRESIDENT OF THE UNITED STATES, the second most powerful man in the world, is not even trying to hide the fact that he is brazenly lying in front of the entire world in order to cover up a tiny (relatively speaking) mistake he made in a damn tweet.

This isn't funny. It's pathetic, but it's not funny. His illness is on full display and absolutely undeniable, he could and would start a war to save face if he felt he needed to (maybe to cover up his tweeting of that top secret picture from Iran), and the GOP is pretending everything is fine.
