Now that the entire world knows that our President lies 24/7, where do we go from here?

How can any diplomat in any other country plan anything knowing that the leader of the free world is going to lie dozens of times per day?

How does any investor, in good faith, invest their money knowing that the leader of the free world could come out with a lie in 30 minutes that destroys their trade?

How do farmers and corporations plan for the future knowing that the leader of the free world lies constantly?

How does the US Congress do their jobs knowing that the head of our executive branch will lie about anything, anytime, anywhere?

Wasn't aware "administrative" was a branch of government.
 
Most folks on the right will never agree their devotion is directed towards a con-man. Their belief that trump is the most wonderful president america has ever had is unshakable. No other president accused of what this man is doing would have lasted this long. It's the brain dead willful ignorant people who support this man and the republican senate will go along with anything that helps themselves out financially. The most corrupt administration I've seen in over forty years of voting.

So he made a mistake and said "administrative" instead of "executive". He has a point, Trump is a habitual liar when it comes to his foreign policies and like Kim from NK, the US can no longer be trusted because of our idiot liar and chief Trumptard.
 
Vote out every Republican. That is the only way to begin fixing the crisis.

Simple, they'll just wait for outside confirmation of whatever Trump says and ignore him if confirmation is not forthcoming. The USA has already taken the hit to its leadership and credibility. Nothing can be done about that till he leaves office.

The Administrative Branch is the Executive Branch, in Constitutional terms the Article 2 Branch. Administrative and Executive are interchangeable when discussing the Federal Government of the United States. Why am I not surprised that people of a particular political persuasion don't know that.
 
Kick him out in 2020.

That's how we proceed.

DJT is a disaster and these absurd, unqualified judges are going to undermine every freedom we have in this country.

Enough is enough.

Your entire thread is based on nonsense, but I positively LOL'd when I came to this part.

Let me know when Congress starts doing their jobs. Until then, this thread is...

Dismissed.

Its worse than that. Nobody will agree to any terms with Trump. Nobody will ally with Trump. Nothing will get done. Nothing has been getting done...certainly nothing that keeps world players from running amok. Come to think of it, nothing that keeps domestic players from running amok has been done.

Truly most of the world knew who and what Donald Trump was before he was elected. THEIR problem is that we put Orange Wild Man in the WH, hanging this albatross around our own and the world's neck at the same time.

It got lost in the silly hogwash thread of the day.

Maybe you would like to provide another example of where it was used on this forum.

Most folks here are probably used to your hysterical rants. Please calm down and explain just what "crisis" we are currently in. I don not like this president nor many of his actions. That being said, he hasn't thrown us into two endless wars which have killed or maimed many thousands of our kids. This was done under Bush II.

Simply calling for removing all republicans just sounds like partisan nonsense. Not fitting for an adult "debate". Please try and make a rational point.

I'm not aware of Trump destroying any industry with his lies.

Farmers' aren't getting screwed over by lies, but by a trade war. Corporations, it depends on the industry, but again, I think you are confusing "bad policy decisions" with the lies.

Hopefully the same as it always has, because the "administrative branch" has never been trustworthy.

Did you see him get caught lying again in his Tweet about meeting with Iran without preconditions?

This man is out of control, is a liar, is diseased, and needs to be voted out of office next year for the safety of this country.

That's a great idea. If there is one thing we can tell from observing political history in our own country and other examples world-wide, it's that single-party rule is always for the best.

I'm hoping that the destroyed Trumpist party will be replaced by a sane opposition. Goodness knows that bumbling Democrats won't be able to handle it by themselves for long.

:shrug: that sane opposition would have to be Republicans.

In the meantime, Give Unstoppable Power to any interest group or party is a terrible plan.

You cons sure cheered it on when it was a Republican president, Republican senate and Republican house.

The word you are missing regarding wars is 'yet'. Trump is dangerously untrustworthy and reckless in word and deed. His, and America's, global trust ratings have tanked. That's nobody else's fault but Trump's.

The Republican party needs to be rebooted after being thoroughly punished at the polls for the Chancellor Squirrelhead nightmare that they have inflicted on the country. If they choose to keep calling themselves Republicans, a lot of us will have trouble voting for them ever again. I reccomend a heartfelt apology and a rebranding.

:) If you will go back and check, he didn't say "Ensure Democrats have a majority in both houses of Congress and the White House".

You mean how does anyone or anything function when the MSM is constantly alleging that "everything the leader of the Free World says is a lie," without noting that most of the time it seems that the MSM was doing the "lying?"

How many times has the MSM posted some opinion piece, or gossip based on anonymous third parties alleging this or that as news, only to have to "quietly correct" the story a few days later? Meanwhile, the damage as intended has been done.

Stop believing headlines and the raucous noise of pundits, and fact check yourself. You'd realize that the "thousands of lies" meme is itself a lie much like the MSM's non-stop lying propaganda efforts we've seen ever since they realized Trump was going to be the final Republican nominee back in 2016.

One reason I defend Trump is because I have fact-checked, and found 90% of the stories and allegations to be false or intentionally misleading. I pointed this out back in 2016 before the election and am compelled to point it out time and again in this Forum. People STILL believe he said "White supremacists are very fine people." :roll:

He has said some cringe-worthy and deceptive things. If people would just stick to actual issues and argue from that basis, I could agree more often and even speak out more myself. But I cannot abide hypocrisy and tactics of moral panic which are the standard arguments of Trump opponents.

1. I don't think you are likely to vote for them in your current state, anyway, regardless of the degree to which they exorcise the Trumpist demons from their midst, as you are ideologically opposed to many of their core positions.

2. You're not going to get the apology, and I don't think it's going to have that big of an impact on their long-term electoral chances. Hell, it's been decades since the Clintons, and Democrats not apologizing for that didn't seem to stop 2008 from happening (this isn't a whataboutism, it's pointing out that people dislike admitting that they have made mistakes, that people tend to cluster around defending the Tribe rather than sacrificing that value for intellectual honesty, and that people tend to have short memories).
