Trump cheats at golf - the ONE and ONLY politics thread

He's still better than Trump. Or Hillary.

But I wish Weld was atop that ticket.

 

All politicians lie! But not as much as Trump! ...

For instance, the fact-checking website PolitiFact found that of thestatements by Hillary Clinton that it checked, 22 percent were completely “true” and another 28 percent were “mostly true.”

But Trump is another animal. There is no true equivalency between Trump and Clinton, or between Trump and any other politician, for that matter. Only 4 percent of Trump’s statements that PolitiFact checked were rated as completely “true” and only another 11 percent were even rated as “mostly true.” Seventy percent of Trump’s statements that the site checked were rated as “mostly false,” “false” or “pants on fire,” the site’s worse rating.

Yep, Donnie made it all about pro-white Russian > anti-black president

 

From the WaPo's article about Johnson's Aleppo stumble ... "Aleppo is a critical component of the current debate over foreign policy and something with which most Americans, and certainly a presidential candidate, should be familiar."

Until this morning, I'd never heard of Aleppo (or if I had, my hearing of it didn't stick). I'd heard of the humanitarian crisis, sure. But if this humanitarian crisis is the/an epicenter (i.e., "a critical component") of a foreign policy debate here in the U.S., it sure as hell has escaped me.

 

"Bullied/bullying" must be in this morning's talking points.

 

What is the current administration's Aleppo strategy?

 

Really? I would not be able to give much of an answer about Aleppo but I certainly knew where and what it is.

 

Not sure but I am pretty sure they know what Aleppo is. Do you think that Trump knew what Aleppo was as of last night? Honest question.

 

Suck it, YF! Press conference! Even if it does look Wag the Dog'y.

 

Listening now.

She just called Trump unpatriotic in her opening statement.

Wow. Dems are always complaining that Republicans call them unpatriotic. I wonder if anyone will criticize her for this.
