He never once told the truth about anything at all. He lied to a reporter about what he had for lunch. He lied about where he got his hair done. He was incapable of even the slightest shred of honesty. He also stole from every pot he could reach into.

There's a reason it took conservatives a year of nonstop negative, embarassing press coverage before they did anything about it. They didn't want to oust someone just for being a conservative.

The thing that made him was stealing from donors. That is the only thing you never do.

Which is so odd to me. I get that some are trying to play the innocent until proven guilty thing. But the thing is, we know for a fact he has essentially lied about his resume and won an election based on it. Every place I worked, you could be fired if they found out you lied on an application or resume. Why should it be any different with this? So even without a conviction on the legal side of things, they all should have wanted him out based on fabricating his whole life.

Because it's one of them. What would happen if everyone would be held accountable for what they say? They all think "I'm next"

Isn't that basically what Trump has been doing since day one?

[-] JeffKerman1999@sopuli.xyz 3 points 11 months ago

Ah no, he's deceiving his customers not impersonating them

On NPR I hear his campaign was overcharging a fellow republican congressman’s mom’s credit card after a donation. He was hurting the wrong people.
