The invention of recorded audio and video....

The ludicrous arguments and rationalizations some of you core Trump supporters engage in to rationalize and defend his pathological lying are truly pathetic.

Agreed the evidence is easily seen and heard. The latest was Trump's Christmas message calling for unity and peace almost immediately followed by hate-filled rants about Democrats.

Lying is a sin. People choose whether to lie, tell the truth, or say nothing. Just like we make the conscious decisions to murder, steal, commit adultery, curse God's name, work on Sundays, covet our neighbor's assets, dishonor our parents, and worship things or people, we choose to lie. So Trump supporters are lying about their man because they want to and Trump haters prove who the liars are.

But they like that it makes others, who prefer decency, upset. Sadism + lies = Jesus Christ to these confused people.

I often wonder if Donald Trump believes in Jesus Christ. He probably has never acted like a Christian outside of his family life.
 
Everyone lies.
 
Why does Trump lie?

The same reason a dog licks his own nuts......

.....because he can.

:lol:
 
He lies because either his lips or his fingers have found nothing else to do for the moment.

It proves they lie, and they are easily triggered.

As to distinguishing, first you have to understand what a lie is.

It would seem this element is missing from the indoctrination Progressives are required to embrace.

It looks like a little name calling to derail the thread seems to be working.

You were asked if you believe Trump’s lies (I submit from reading your posts that you reflexively believe then and routinely try and defend the asinine from Trump every day).

That is one of the most intresting things about Trump.

He is pure Id.

All his life, he has erected a facade around himself. One that is demonstrably, and often obviously, phony.

When he was young, he hung out at Studio 54 with rented party girls, and generally annoyed everyone. He quickly got a reputation as a boorish wannabe (an aspect he still has).

Shrug, both sides. When your only defense of Trump's bad behavior is "other people do bad things", we know your ideology is morally and ethically bankrupt. (Hint, we know it).

"Ethically bankrupt"? A liberal is telling someone their ideology is morally bankrupt? I'd bet the liberals lead the world in sins per day.

Thanks for proving my point about how everyone lies. Your last post is a lie. I'm not defending Trump.

In the Bible, it does not matter who sins more or less. God does not track demographic groups that are more or less likely to lie because He knows everyone is a liar.
 
Trump has always been a habitual liar, he lies to make himself look better and usually does that in the third person so it sounds like someone else is praising him. He lies to gaslight and manipulate his audience, he can say something definitive one day and say the complete opposite the next day, and then lies denying that he ever made the initial statement. He lies to cover his a$$ when it comes to all the corrupt things he's done. He repeatedly spits out the same lies over and over, because he knows his ignorant gullible base will suck it up like a big fat raw piece of red meat. When someone gives him constructive criticism, he lies by accusing that person of what he is guilty of. He lies in his business 'deals' and taxes. I could go on forever giving examples of the Liar in Chief, thankfully most thinking Americans see through his BS.

It's like in a football game where one guy throws a punch the other guy retaliates and gets the flag. Maybe stop instigating and start legislating. These are nothing but choreographed jabs at the President to elicit a response. The crackhead and Woody Allen know what they are doing.

start legislating like the over 200 bills sitting on McConnell's desk? Trump came outta the gate swinging and like all bullies he the victimized whiny little bitch.

As for eliciting a response, its about the easiest thing to do with trump. That's why he'll go down in history as the biggest useful idiot in covert intelligence history.

Obama did not lie as a rule like Trump. Nothing Trump says is the truth. It's too boring and does not feed his ego like people cheering his lies. It's a rush for him to see the weak minded under his control. It seems to hypnotize his followers into zombies.

That is fine, but they all lie and manipulate. I notice you didn't mention Clinton, B or H.

Sure they all do it, tell porkies to cover their backside. Trump lies are big and small. He lies about the most inconsequential matters when he feels slighted. He has an incredibly thin ego, takes offense at the most mundane comments. I would be concerned with his mental fitness for the job.
 
That's one hell of a partisan poll.

Though I can answer one thing with certainty. Trump's supporters are just like anyone else. When he actually lies, they don't really buy it.

But beyond that, I don't really care for his ego stroking, or bravado.
Though it is getting tiresome when any of the other regressives just crawl out of the woodwork and continue to cry about his jokes, being lies... give me a ****ing break.
