Understand, first of all, why people lie.  If the truth is embarrassing, especially if it’s humiliating, someone with a propensity to lie will always lie.  If confronted about the lie, they will lie again, make you the liar for accusing them of lying. 

This hideous, maddening cycle will be familiar to anyone who has ever been close to, or worked for, someone who can never be wrong no matter what.  If you can’t be wrong, and the facts clearly show you are, then the facts are fucking liars and so are you for bringing up those lies.

Trump is perhaps the most prolific compulsive liar in American history. He’s up there with the all-time heavyweight liars of world history. He may be number one (though, it is said, he smells like number two). If he gets his ass kicked in an election, obviously, the election was rigged, he was cheated out of a victory he actually won by a landslide, was the victim of a massive bipartisan fraud, and when you are the victim of fraud, as he told his enraged crowd on January 6th (a day of love, obviously), you get to play by very different rules. You fight like hell to make your truth the real truth and violence is totally justified because the liars who cheated you won by being scumbags who viciously rigged everything against you and deserve whatever they get, including death.

Picture working for a vengeful, childish asshole like this guy.  Lying is a condition of employment.  You can’t tell the truth.  If you do, the boss will fly into a rage.  When asked if Biden won the 2020 election you deliver the company line “well, he was sworn in as president on January 20, 2021…”.  When pressed on whether Biden won you must not give an inch, must continue this line of idiotic equivocation.  If you say “yes, senator, Biden won…” then you are out of a job, out of the party, out of the cult, out of business, kaput.  Plus, you face an excellent chance of death threats on your phone day and night.  Everybody who works for Trump knows this.  

Trump is trying to cover over the release of $24 billion in frozen Iranian assets [in his birthday Memo of Understanding — not a final agreement] by saying “no money will exchange hands.” But this morning, Vice President J.D. Vance told CBS that in addition to that $24 billion, Iran will also have access to $300 billion in funds for reconstruction. source

Oopsie.  Et tu, CBS?

Liars lie, that’s not news.  I guess the news is that the central characters of Trump’s inner circle appear to have been captured on tape, discussing various illegal ways to allow the president to do whatever pops into his insane head.  If Stephen Miller, our foremost, infernally powerful, Jewish Nazi, orders 3,000 brown immigrants captured, detained and deported daily, and the boss loves the idea, then… fuck it, suspend habeas corpus (the right to a hearing to contest your confinement)… change administrative rules to make a loophole to avoid giving habeas corpus rights to those illegally detained, invoke the Insurrection Act… kill more “paid protesters” like Renee Good and Alex Pretti… 

The squealing among Trump’s inner circle about the New York Times report on secret meetings in the Situation Room (without the president present) that someone tapped into our nation’s most secure SCIF (sensitive compartmented information facility) is an unintentional admission, as Lawrence McDonnell points out, that the reporting is super accurate.  NY Times reporters Haberman and Swan couldn’t have transcribed all those verbatim quotes without a recording. 

More lies are now needed to cover the lying lies that some liar recorded and made them lie in their own voices on a tape that doesn’t exist, like Epstein, who never actually existed, never knew the president, never shared any “wonderful secrets” with him — and the president certainly wasn’t rough with fourteen year-olds’ nipples, where did those stupid, lying quotes come from and, more to the point,  who was the traitorous leaker? — the boss was always a gentle lover who always had consent from every woman and girl he ever touched — no, wait, he never touched anybody! Epstein and those little bitches are all LIARS!!!

Trump is not playing five dimensional chess, he doesn’t even know what a game is. Point out that he just took a crap in his pants and he will angrily scream: “NO! YOOOO took a crap in my pants!!!!” I know you are, but what am I? Another win for the Winner-in-Chief.

Early this morning, Trump posted on social media: “On July 4th, at The Lincoln Memorial and Washington Monument, in beautiful and safe Washington D.C., we are going to host the most spectacular TRUMP RALLY of them all, a ‘TRIBUTE TO AMERICA.’” source

Be there, fans, will be wild! There should be, literally, hundreds there, mad as hell and ready to rumble.  You go, Mr. President, sir!
