I guess I'm more stubborn or critical than others. Deceit is evil. I have a friend who has worked as a guard at a Prison for over 10 years. I think it's a safe assumption he knows more about prisons and its inmates than me and those who claim they do who also have no experience. There is one common ideal the inmates have in-common, deceit.
Who is responsible for some of these false claims? You've just been lied to and, like me, gullible enough to buy-in to the lie. The same happened to me in an elected position when the Treasurer screwed-up the finances without my knowledge. That wasn't the point with me, I appointed someone in a job he should not have been in. Those who also elected him refused to accept any blame in voting for him. Those voters were correct about me (in-part) but were not correct about themselves.
You show me someone who says words such as "All Presidents lie" or All politicians lie" and I'll show you an unethical person who is not adult (mature) enough to pass a 5th grade science test. Aren't you the voter who voted for him/her? You, the unethical, are easy to lie to. That's why I think some tags are correct "fake news" but I also encompass the very so-called news that is suppose to be ethical because they aren't. I haven't found news that's ethical yet. They are all into making money and to do that lies work. Lie to me once and I'm through with you.
Our problem in the U.S. is NOT political affiliation with idiots whose vote in Congress, controlled by a political party, fore & against. Our problem is a huge unethical society where deceit is acceptable and a public who could not pass a 5th grade science test.
I made a phone call and I'm now a registered Independent. If someone knows news that is not lying to the public, let me know. As of yet, now that my eyes are open or I should say mind, I haven't found one so I call them all "Entertainment".
If you're anywhere close to my age you may remember some sayings from yesteryear. I was in the ivory towers of D.C. some years ago and I see it hasn't changed. I still keep the secrets like a Congressman now retired from quite a position in the House of Representatives, also on the so-called right-wing said to me he doesn't have to worry about elections, his constituents will believe anything he says, they're a bunch of "sheep". Today the same are called "sheeple".
Political parties will continue to grow in strength until people are fed-up with them (as they should be now) and all change to "Independent", not belonging to any political party. It's all about money, $$$$$! "Everything we say/do is a direct result of our own personal ethics." Remember Mr. Smith Goes to Washington? Those unethical created evidence against Mr. Smith and it was a powerful Senator who was in the middle of the unethical who came around at the very last. I could not tell, if it was real, what was fabricated evidence against Mr. Smith (Jimmy Stewart) and what evidence is not fabricated. Trump today, I'm the same. All I can do is know where the deceit is coming from. If you remember the "Gulf of Tonkin" that was significant to U.S. pouring tens of thousands into Vietnam. Over 58,000+ U.S. people dead in that godforsaken country, except that the "Gulf of Tonkin" NEVER HAPPENED. The years of Vietnam still to this day a "Police Action" never was a "War" and 58,000+ dead, many more lives ruined after that "Police Action" when our govt. lied and all the media went right along with the lies for years. Priorities, the same years as Vietnam about 60,000 U.S. people died each year in traffic accidents in the U.S. Where are your priorities? I'll bet YOU slept just as well at night with your ignorance than those who sold you such lies except they're all rich, meaning lots of money. Yes, I bought into the lies then. Never were "Conspiracy Theories" as we were told. Also, NOBODY IS TRYING TO STEAL YOUR GUNS!
I was, most of my life, a strong right-winger. My mind started to open on the issue of evil and deceit. Obama was born in the U.S. so where were those lies coming from, how long were those lies there, why was I so gullible to believe them. Back to the 5th grade science test for me. The number of people who attended Trumps' inauguration? More lies than I can count. I dislike that, now I'm a researcher, where I don't want to be.
Now I type but saying different than I use to. I blame all the voters. Look in the mirror, but you know U.S. voters are way too arrogant to accept the slightest blame for being so low on the I.Q. roster. If you still believe that our govt. needs a major overhaul, like I do, then change your political party affiliation, seek-out honest facts (you're not going to get them from journalism nowadays), vote them all out! Don't make it a "Blue Wave", make it an "Ethical Wave". All you have to do is think of what are the top 3 or 5 major ideals of ethics and stick to them. You know you would be correct and everyone else wrong. Or, you could be like those dummies saying Rock-n-Roll is ruining the world. How's this? Your enemies are more than one, but those who vote a different opinion than you are NOT your enemies, they're just making life interesting. Those who do NOT register and vote ARE your enemies! What you don't do is just as important as what you do!
Everything that is happening and you're being told is "by design", otherwise ignore me and remain stupid, I don't care! I write just to get this off my chest and just maybe one person out there will jump on the ethical wagon.
Smile for today, the attachment here, does this person vote?

But they are trying to discredit Trump's achievements. They claim that the economy, which is growing faster than at any time during the Obama administration, is an OBAMA accomplishment. Obama is responsible for the growth that we now enjoy. And they claim that Trump gets no credit for peace in Korea. They feel that Obama's sanctions against North Korea had them in such a weakened state that they would have conceded by now anyway. So they feel that Trump does not deserve a Nobel Peace Prize; never mind that Obama got one for doing absolutely NOTHING.
It's frustrating to debate some of the addled brains on OPP. We have one older fella suffering from dementia; his head is full of useless facts and lies that he uses to justify hate for Republicans. For example, there is no convincing him and others that Trump was specifically calling MS13 animals. A video was posted here for all to see the truth, yet he sticks by his ridiculous claim. There is no point in discussing issues with him or others who suffer from the "liberal disease".
