He lies. His lies should always be exposed. His lies should have brought him down already.

But he serves as an useful idiot to the truly powerful, so they don't care that he lies.

Besides, he's attacking Obama. That plays well in certain circles.

They don't care about the lies - they only care about the effect the lies have.

If the GOP can build off or use Trump's lies, they will.

If the lies are considered too damaging, they mitigate or clarify his lies, or give token protest.


Still, it's always good to have the facts.

The ball is in Mr. 34% 's court squarely now, and blaming Pres. Obama IS falling on deaf ears, especially in light of the tweet storm tRumputin laid out there that someone dug up in criticizing/lecturing then Pres. Obama from 2013 about staying out of Syria's situation.

tRumputin paid unintelligent and ignorant lip service today about how Assad crossed a line in the chemical attacks of his own people. The clown of course offered no specifics on how he'd deal with it. Also last week, Tillerson said that the people of Syria have to help themselves, and Nikki Hailey spouted some gibberish about how bad it was for Assad to have gassed his own people, yet SHE said it's going to be difficult to work with someone like that. Work with Assad? Uh, yeah right We also know that putin wants to KEEP his buddy Assad in power. Now, I've read that people said that Assad went too far in what he did with his last act--especially after seeing those children and adults suffering and fighting to merely breathe after those chemical attacks, and we know that many of those we saw have since gone on to pass away. My guess is that putin will look the other way, keep Assad in power and tell tRumputin to stand down OR ELSE. I mean, putin has the goods/blackmail material on tRump to keep him in line. Talk about being compromised.

The poor people of Syria are dying at the hands of their own murderous leader and more than likely tRumputin isn't going to be doing much of anything about the Syria situation except blame Pres. Obama and jaw-jack. Also, with bannon out and McMaster in there along with crazy Rick Perry, we'll see a war starting here soon somewhere so tRumputin can take the focus off of russia-gate and all of the scandal catching up with him.
