    If I understood nothing else in there, "UbuFish" is funny regardless of context.

    Trump lies.

    Here's an inverse way of looking at it: Which politician is a consummate truth-teller? I'm not saying there isn't one, but I'm just curious: Who should be America's north star?

    "Peter S". Because he can't spell "Strzok".

    Where we should be? Of course not. And I'm not saying he can't or shouldn't do it. It just doesn't seem like the accomplishment that he thinks it is. And I don't have to find it interesting, so I'm underwhelmed. That's all.

    Or he ran out of characters. He had 1 left.

    Further, Dale, ostensibly a reporter - what else is a correspondent? - is reaching on the notion that Trump lies here. Trump may be saying the Senate didn't confirm Mueller as special counsel, not that Mueller was never confirmed as FBI director.

    In modern times?

    Jimmy Carter.

    But all politicians lie some of the time.

    No politician lies all of the time.

    Except Trump.

    Trump is a pathological liar.

    Are you kidding me? You are fucking laughable. Trump lies but so do others is like saying Meryl Streep acts but so does Adam Sandler. Just stop already.

    Great question. I have a couple of names and categories that came to mind. Not perfect, but... I'm curious to see what reactions this question gets.

    Not judging his presidency one way or the other.

    But per Alma's question, was he a politician who told the truth?

    Yes, mostly.

    He can't spell cemetery. He's not even going to attempt a hard one.
