Obama repeats the big lie

Obama put the major beat down on Trump and his administration. We should all expect Trump Republicans to attack him for at least two weeks.

They have ineffectively been attacking him for the last 3 years as an ex-president, and 8 years before that. So what else is new?

I am still shaking from the importance of it.

Yeah, there are 25 (by my math) unique faces on the board, which means whatever technology they used (zoom, teams, slack, or whatever) could handle that many concurrent connections, most likely. So they shoved an insufficient back end into it.

This could be solved fairly cheaply actually, you just need more licenses for a different VC technology would be my guess (which are usually pretty cheap) and then the video feed coming in would likely not need to be altered much since to shove 25 faces into 30 places, they had to use video capturing equipment which can be reused.

this is not rocket surgery and frankly it means their techs suck and this should have been properly specced and tested ahead of time or at minimum switch the format to 5x5 instead of 6x5 if they did not have the proper equipment or could not get it set up in time.

tsk tsk. Trump's lying is not an excuse to do it yourself.

And that brings to mind another big lie told by his wife ( hmmm seems like it runs in the family)

" When they go low, we go high"

Clearly , as this thread demonstrates, they don't.
 

Lie?

Opinions vary

Dont get distracted. The topic is OBAMA, not Trump.

Once again, Trump is the king of lies and you support him. Since you are criticizing Obama lying, does that also suggest you criticize Trump lying. After all, YOU stated here that someone else lying is no excuse to do it yourself. You mean you also agree that Trump lies?

That was not Trumps fault. Congress should have secured our border and people entering our country should be paying for it just like people who use a toll road. Instead our border is still not secure and we are paying for it.

Yes. Of course. I've bashed Trump on several occasions. I do not support him .

You must not have read my entire post.

No -they were not used against peaceful protestors. They were deployed to protect Federal property form LOOTERS AND RIOTERS.
You can disagree that they should have been used at all, but for heaven's sake , don't lie about it.

If those protests were indeed all peaceful, those troops most assuredly have never been called to action

Consider me taken aback and shocked. Here, I thought you were a Trump cult member.

This does open the door to ask you a few questions and put you to the test

1) Does this mean you think Trump should go since he is a liar and you think liars are bad for the country?
2) To what degree do you think Trump is doing a bad job?
3) Are you simply a critic of the Democrats..........all Democrats!
4) Are there any Democrats you feel are better than Trump?
5) rate yourself as a Trump critic on a scale of 1-10

Oh...so you are saying the DNC faked the people who supposedly were watching the speech.

Okay. If you say so.
 

1- they are?
Turns out Granpa Joe is quite the liar also

"Take a look at my record, man. ... I have a record that is second to none. The NAACP has endorsed me every time I've run." -- Joe Biden, May 22, 2020, on "The Breakfast Club," hosted by Charlamagne tha God.
NAACP does not endorse anybody

""This day 30 years ago, Nelson Mandela walked out of prison and entered into discussions about apartheid. I had the great honor of meeting him. I had the great honor of being arrested with our U.N. ambassador on the streets of Soweto, trying to get to see him on Robbens Island"

Not true


“An errant driver who stopped to drink instead of drive and hit — a tractor-trailer — hit my children and my wife and killed them."
he rumor about alcohol being involved by either party, especially the truck driver (Dunn), is incorrect.” Furthermore, the tractor-trailer driver had the right of way, and Dunn immediately got out of his truck and tried to render assistance. He was no drunk driver.

"In 1987, when Joe Biden was running for President for the very first time, his campaign got swallowed up in a swarm of lies that Joe Biden told about himself all over the country. First, Biden was caught plagiarizing a famous speech from British Labour Party Leader Neil Kinnock - including parts of the speech that came straight from Kinnock’s personal life that simply were not true for Joe Biden. Then, he plagiarized yet another speech from the late Robert Kennedy and another from JFK and another from Hubert Humphrey. You have to understand - this was pre-Internet, pre-social media, and something in Joe Biden’s mind made him think he could get away with it. He didn’t. And it ultimately tanked his campaign."
2 truths and 31 lies Joe Biden has told about his work in the Civil Rights Movement - Shaun King'''s Newsletter

Soon, it was discovered that Biden had not just plagiarized those four speeches, but had lied about academic awards, lied about scholarships, lied about his ranking at Syracuse Law School, where he had nearly been kicked out for plagiarizing five entire pages of an essay, and that he also frequently lied about something that he had made a central part not just of his 1988 presidential campaign bid, but of his entire public persona

got involved, most of you don’t know me well, I got involved in public life, because when I was about the age of the guy standing over there (points to teenage boy), I got involved in the civil rights movement….

"Well, I got my education, Reverend Doc... in the Black church. Not a joke -- because when we used to get organized on Sundays to go out and desegregate movie theaters and things like that, we'd do it through the Black church. I got to admit to you I'd go to my Catholic Mass at 7:30 first, and then I'd show up in the Black church."

LIE

I could go on..

No - what I am saying is the nit you attempted to pick as some sort of story is so microscopic that it cannot even be measured and is less than nothing.

But do carry on. It is expected. :roll:

Watching "reporters" slobber over Barack Obama at the Dem convention reminds us that one of the things that degenerated most under his administration was journalism. They were always biased as hell, but he made them foolish.

YEP! One thing Trump has done. HE completely ripped the mask of the press.

From 2008 - 2016, most people crossing the border were leaving. Most people coming illegally do not cross the border. People who live along it have been crossing back and forth across it for centuries to do business and visit families.

So its really kind of a phony issue.

I guess so. Trump has never stopped trying to secure our border and enforce our immigration laws. The fact is congress has not created a tax that would charge the people coming across our border to pay for securing our border. Instead the people of this country who do not ever cross our border are the ones paying. I think the people using the border should pay for border security.

There would be no need for border security if the low life criminals of other countries would respect our immigration laws and the citizens of this country who make our laws. I want immigration but not millions of losers who have no respect for our laws. Especially with millions of decent law abiding people waiting their turn to come here legally from all over the world. Instead we have criminals from a handful of countries who believe they are privileged and like bullies just cut in line in front of the decent law abiding. These are not the kind of people I want coming to my country.
