In the land of true-crime, there's an axiom you can always hang your hat on. When the suspect changes his story, the cops know he's lying.


Keep that in mind as you read this.


We all know why the Trumpies suddenly changed their story--because Rosenstein said he would quit if they didn't retract that lie.

What's all this tell us about Trump? He's a liar.

I liked this one:


Tip No. 4: Look for Insincere Emotions

"Most people can't fake smile," says O'Sullivan. "The timing will be wrong, it will be held too long, or it will be blended with other things. Maybe it will be a combination of an angry face with a smile; you can tell because their lips are smaller and less full than in a sincere smile."

These fake emotions are a good indicator that something has gone afoul.
 

You don't have to be Columbo to catch everybody in a lie. Sometimes all you need to do is be quiet and let them contradict themselves over and over and over again.

...or maybe just let them tweet themselves into a hole.
 
We all know that Trump is a perp.

When interviewed by the police, never ever agree to an informal or formal follow up interview without a written copy of your first interview.

When asked a question, go to your interview and read the answer to the officer.

Never back off. Ever.

If you are married, you and your spouse compact to never, ever be interviewed without the other one present. If the police press you, demand a lawyer. Never back off. Ever.
 
I'm sorry. I saw the title of this thread and assumed it was about Democratic Party candidates/officials. My bad.
 
Rule number one of making a lie the truth... Keep repeating enough and eventually some will believe. Eight, nine months now, and how much proof? Zero!!!

Lies and the liar that told them?

You can keep your doctor.

Your family will save $2,500 per year.

No, not one smidgen of corruption.

Yeah. All that. In front of the entire nation.

You are right. It's not hard.

As hyper-partisan as the politics has gotten, not thanks to Obama, every significant political figure has a 'list of lies' web site. Some have multiples of them.

All False statements involving Barack Obama | PolitiFact
Washington Post catalogues the biggest lies Obama ever told ...
Obama's biggest whoppers - The Washington Post
9 Biggest Lies Obama Told In His DNC Speech | Daily Wire

The sad truth is that DC and the 'news media' have gotten so out of control that there's no one calling them out on it anymore, at least not on the news (which was one of it's primary functions - speaking truth to power and holding it accountable).
 

You still lose and lose bigly.

Everyone is entitled to their opinion I guess. It's a free country, at least for now, until the excessive PC's force it not to be.

Meh. Opinions differ, and I'm not defending anyone. I'm just pointing out TDS when I see it.

Although WaPo reported Wednesday that Rosenstein threatened to resign, Rosenstein says he didn't:
WASHINGTON (Sinclair Broadcast Group) - Deputy Attorney General Rod Rosenstein said he's not quitting, nor did he threaten to quit over his role in the firing of FBI Director James Comey.
When asked by Sinclair Broadcast Group's Michelle Macaluso about reports that claim otherwise, he stated "no, I'm not quitting."

Macaluso: Did you threaten to quit?

Rosenstein: No. Deputy AG Rosenstein: 'I'm not quitting,' didn't threaten to quit over Comey firing | WJLA

Deputy AG Rosenstein says he's 'not quitting' | TheHill

Trump lies as easily as he breathes, but his fans never notice or if they notice they wave it off. Comparisons that pop up between Trump and Hitler (the greatest liar of the last century) are mistaken. There's no Hitler in Trump, yet. Trump is still only an authoritarian bumbler, as the Comey farce wonderfully demonstrates. The comparison to be made is between his followers and the Germans who initially enabled Hitler. Weak-mindedness, like moths drawn to a flame, is the common thread.

The ONLY real question is of the "Trumpeters" actually believe the bull**** that they put out. If they really do, we are in more trouble than I thought.
 

Trump is simply throwing lies at the wall and hoping one sticks. The next one will likely be that firing Comey was all "Obamas fault".

I believe that TDS (Trump Delusional Syndrome) is what his "loyal subjects" suffer from. The inability to differentiate from actual atmospheric precipitation and Trump urinating down their collective legs.
 


This is been gone through before and you keep posting it so obviously you just don't care about being honest. Obama apologized for saying that stuff trying to compare Obama to Trump is like trying to compare icky stuff to good stuff doesn't work
