NYT fact checks the idiot's BS tweets about them, yet again.

Yet Whell and his crew still continue to support him, despite lie after lie after lie. Damn, they're morons!

In Trumpistan, everyone is biased - except white people.

Trump gets punked by a Russian bot.

Early Saturday morning, President Trump tweeted his gratitude to a social-media super fan, Nicole Mincey, magnifying her praise of him to his 35 million followers.

Here’s the problem: There is no evidence the Twitter feed belongs to someone named Nicole Mincey. And the account, according to experts, bears a lot of signs of a Russia-backed disinformation campaign.

I think we have a teenage girl for a president.

Great NYT article on the magnitude of Trump's nonstop lying.

https://www.nytimes.com/2017/08/07/u...a-mislead.html

Quote:
The glaring difference between Mr. Trump and his predecessors is the sheer magnitude of falsehoods and exaggerations; PolitiFact rates just 20 percent of the statements it reviewed as true, and a total of 69 percent either mostly false, false or “Pants on Fire.” That leaves scholars like Ms. Goodwin to wonder whether Mr. Trump, in elevating the art of political fabrication, has forever changed what Americans are willing to tolerate from their leaders.
We simply must not let the overwhelming number of lies become acceptable. Each and every one of them debases our democracy. Each and every one of them must be documented and debunked. That NYT subscription will help them stay vigilant.

More on this story. So embarrassing to have such a complete fool running the country.

Trump cheerleader Peter Thiel, after working closely with the idiot in chief, begins to realize what a moron Trump really is.

Jennifer Rubin assesses the really, really bad Trump polls.

https://www.washingtonpost.com/blogs...-it-for-trump/

Quote:
For someone who craves adulation, this would be soul-crushing — so Trump pretends that the polls are wrong, goes to rallies to find cultist followers and lashes out at the media. Unfortunately for him, this does not make things better. That’s the real takeaway from the first 200 days — his tweeting, ragging on elites, war with the media and displays of uber-aggression do not substitute for real accomplishments or take the place of a presidential demeanor. Unlike on a reality-TV show, Trump has to actually perform, not simply project an air of dominance. And it turns out that Trump does not have a clue how to do his job and lacks the will and ability to perform it. It’s not as though we didn’t predict exactly this dismal state of affairs.

From anonymous sources, no less. He broke two of his own rules in less than 140 characters. What a moron.
