No, they are very much a Gish gallop of deflection. If you want to debate some specific claim, feel free to raise a topic elsewhere. Likely lying? No, blatantly. Well, unless he got blackout drunk and forgot that he did those things. And he's unlikely to learn anything. As part of the Fox News machine he's been casually lying to you people for years without consequence, so he's unlikely to find a conscience now.

Doing it was a screw up. That's a mistake, albeit a monumentally dumb and embarrassing one. Blatantly lying, denying that it happened, when you know it happened is an entirely different matter. And no, I've done no such thing. You throwing up a Gish gallop of shit media clips is neither conversation nor debate, and I did not watch or remark on that nonsense.

Nobody is right all the time. Not everybody is in agreement on the facts or perspective. Those things don't necessarily undermine trust, unless they are frequent and persistent. A lie is making a statement you know not to be false or making things up entirely and stating them as facts. Instead of being pissed off that Pete Hegseth lied casually about something that had already been confirmed, you want to deflect and make it about someone else. That's why this is the post-shame era. As a defender of a POTUS who is a pathological liar and the similarly morally compromised yes-men (and women) he appoints, all you have is deflection. Pathetic.

And there will be no political or social consequences for this behavior from his allies and supporters. That's just the sad reality of the post-shame era.

After Hegseth promised them 100% security. This is honestly so dumb--on so many levels--our intelligence allies will understand exactly why their concerns were justified. Actually, their concerns were understated. Now they know. Well, maybe if Trump had hired someone trustworthy and qualified (instead of an abusive, drunk TV pundit) Hegseth would be right, and none of it would have happened. Oh, the road not taken...

Guardian Senior members of Donald Trump’s cabinet have been involved in a serious security breach while discussing secret military plans for recent US attacks on the Houthi armed group in Yemen. In an extraordinary blunder, key figures in the Trump administration – including the vice-president, JD Vance, the defence secretary Pete Hegseth, the secretary of state, Marco Rubio, and the director of national intelligence, Tulsi Gabbard – used the commercial chat app Signal to convene and discuss plans – while also including a prominent journalist in the group. Signal is not approved by the US government for sharing sensitive information. Buttery males!!🤣

Trump is actively destroying America, but perhaps his repulsiveness can MCGA. Good luck.

In addition to looking dumb, you're also willing to be dishonest for him? Okay, you do you. Meanwhile, back in reality... It's a farking report. You probably just missed the huge bold title at the top of the page.🙄 And in that report the FEC records that Gotham did acknowledge hiring the Extra Mile casting agency--the same agency that put out that casting call. And actors known to work for EM were filmed as part of the rally crowd. "Why can't you guys just stick to reality?"

"Why can't you guys just stick to reality?" Why, KSU, why? Jeebus. Here's the FEC report. They hired the farking actors. You are really willing to look this dumb for a raging narcissist that doesn't give a single shit in his gold toilet for you? Why? And why does it matter? Well you seemed to condemn the scenario you made up wholesale which accused Democrats astroturfing. But blatant hypocrisy is right on brand. As usual, every absurd thing the cons accuse people of doing turns out to be pure projection. Trump falsely accused Harris of paying for crowd turnout... because that's exactly what he would do--and did.

They say there's a sucker born every minute. I guess you've got your minute covered. This is Trump's announcement, before anyone cared or took it seriously. A crowd didn't just materialize. They got help. And, sure, they hired people to do it "professionally" -- who just happened to turn out to be actors. Except that Gotham literally contracted out to a casting agency and literally hired actors. 😉This is the casting call from Extra Mile Casting. Hi there— We are working helping one of are [sic] associates out at Gotham GR – http://gothamgr.com/ with a big event happening on TUESDAY 6/16/15. This is an event in support of Donald Trump and an upcoming exciting announcement he will be making at this event. This event is called “People for a Stronger America.” The entire group is a pro-small business group that is dedicated to encouraging Donald Trump and his latest ventures. This event will be televised. We are looking to cast people for the event to wear t-shirts and carry signs and help cheer him in support of his announcement. We understand this is not a traditional “background job,” but we believe acting comes in all forms and this is inclusive of that school of thought. This event is happening LIVE and will be from 8:45AM-11:30AM. LESS THAN 3 HOURS This will take place inside / interior. The rate for this is: $50 CASH at the end of the event. We would love to book you if you are interested and still available. Please let us know and we will get back to you with confirmation.

Fair enough. As the current administration discards the rule of law and people are "renditioned" from US soil on a whim, visitors should know what they're getting into.

We know that Trump has used such a business. Lewandowski confirmed it.

Dude, you yourself posted a chart that showed Twitter was profitable in 2018 and 2019 -- and without a value setback of $30 billion.

Holy shit. He IS a business genius after all. Anybody who can repair his own damage in just 3 years must be the bestest! -- maybe he can un-f*ck Tesla by 2028? Nah, just kidding. The consumer businesses will continue to suffer by association with the world's richest troll. SpaceX and StarLink are going to continue to suckle at the government teat and will be okay.

I love that you think that some rando's unsourced blog is "facts." Sort of explains why you keep posting random tweets as "news." I have no idea if he has inside information or not, but neither do you. The difference is you'll but into whatever is convenient in the moment.

Awww, you gushing fanboys are so smitten. Meanwhile X is privately held with private books. What we do know is that he took it over, broke it, turned it even more toxic, spurred a mass exodus of users and advertisers, and drove down revenues to the point that it was worth less than a third of what he paid for it as of just a few months ago. That's what you want for the US? Although I think just last week he did get his billionaire buddies to issue a rosier rebound valuation for it. See how long that lasts as users flee X as fast as they are fleeing Tesla to get away from this toxic sociopath.

You don't need to know how things work to break shit, and that is the mission, after all. Trump was like, "Pull a Twitter on the mutha, Elon!"

What nonsense. You really are just as dumb as post.

I wonder what they'll do with him now that Trump has claimed that other people forged his signature (or maybe it was the invalid auto pen!) invoking the Alien Enemies Act? 🙂 This administration isn't a clown car. It's a bus load of buffoons who washed out of clown college.

She's probably not "drunk" but she's likely had a few glasses of wine. She's talking to the cast after a play. Probably wine with dinner before and a glass at intermission. Just speculation, but that's pretty common for a night at the theater. -- Most patrons don't have an impromptu public speaking engagement afterward.

Regardless of what the investigation was predicted on--debate as much as you like--it doesn't change the facts of what the investigation uncovered. It doesn't change the fact that the campaign was indeed colluding with Russian intelligence.

No, you seem to have a hard time grasping the definition of the word "investigation." Consistently, across threads. They were investigating crimes. Trump is the one who introduced "collusion" as a descriptor. They were not able to establish intent, because Manafort's extreme efforts to conceal his communication with Kilimnik were indeed successful. The foldering, the burner phones, the fastidious deletions; it worked. Manafort and Kilimnik are the only ones (or Russian intelligence) who can confirm the how and why they did what they did, and Manafort certainly wasn't going to confess voluntarily. They could have used the leverage of Manafort's many other crimes to get to those confessions, but the promise of a pardon buys a lot of silence. Manafort was indeed guilty of many crimes. And he certainly did give away sensitive campaign information--allegedly behind Trump's back and under his nose. Trump should have despised Manafort. Instead, he pardoned him. Wonder why?

Collusion is a fact, but it's not a crime unto itself. It's not chargeable. Manafort could have confirmed the criminal aspects, but was offered a pardon instead. Hmmmm...

None of your decidedly lame deflections actually change the fact that all of it happened. You can whine all you like about the minutae of why the investigation started, but what they found is what they found. Facts are facts.

Putting your head up someone else's ass instead hardly seems like a cure.
