    You can find the list here but unfortunately it is behind a paywall. But the Toronto Star also keeps a running tally, which is currently around 300 - and you can event sort it by topic. If you don't want to call them lies, then - at best - you can look at this list and think that Trump was merely a moron because he was not smart enough to do some simple research before making the statement.


    I think my favorite is still his statement about the size of his inauguration - both because of the audacity of making a lie about something that people can see with their own ****ing eyes and the fact that the statement was made in front of a wall dedicated to fallen CIA heroes.

    “Honestly, it looked like a million and a half people. Whatever it was it was, but it went all the way back to the Washington Monument.” Later: “…all the way back to the Washington Monument, was packed.”

    The reason it is my favorite? Because we get to look at this side by side. [​IMG]

    On that list there are several that prove the times is the one actually lying or the rest of the story is yet to be published. Here's one that jumped out, they say only 1 million are uninsured currently. That number is 100% BS, the government tracks this number, hell obama's gov't had it at ten, now their reporting 11 million and another 2 got off or lost obambacare last month alone.

    Wonder why these pictures don't match the narrative, notice Trump actually speaking.

    I dare you to quote the point wherein they claim that only one million US citizens are not currently insured.

    Obama simply crushed it.

    And kudos to the NYT for making the constant lies and nonsense coming out of the mouth of the BLOTUS a front page article.

    Because the meme picture in the OP was taken very early in the day before most people arrived.

    The gospel of Alinsky states: "Accuse your opponents of that which you yourself are guilty."

    Yes, I agree that Trump was lying when he claimed that his inauguration crowd was bigger than Obama.

    It is "very different" because it is from a different angle. An angle that allows the ones who want to believe the God Emperor above all others to not properly view the large areas where folks are missing.

    The picture on the right has been debunked. The one on the left was taken during Obama's swearing in, the picture on the right was not taken during Trump's swearing in. The press and media have been presenting fake and photoshopped pictures for a long time.

    Fact is that Trump lies thru his teeth either deliberately as a method of political attack/defense, or thru his profound ignorance of the facts. His conman penchant for self promotion, his churlish emotional hypersensitivity, and seemingly insatiable need for aggrandizement (self or otherwise) creates the perfect storm.

    Afterall, who knew how complicated healthcare could be?

    Did you not read it. Dare Me lol
    JAN. 25 “You had millions of people that now aren't insured anymore.” (The real number is less than 1 million, according to the Urban Institute.)

    Trump is scum, pure & simple, but this was not a secret. The demagogy of his birther base is the most dangerous and troubling aspect however.

    You can zoom into that picture in great great detail, it is very obviously different than the picture widely publicized, and posted in your OP, as a fair comparison of the two. Clearly there is "intentional deception" by our media in publicizing that.

    Regardless, I ask you, which is worse, Trump making braggadocios, but inaccurate claims about the size of his inauguration compared to Obama's, or the media intentionally lying to The People about it?

    Nevermind, I know what your blind partisan answer will be, but I firmly believe that "lies of consequence" carry far more weight with The People, and they won't be fooled by those working to change the definition of what a lie is for no reason other than to try to delegitimize their political opposition.

    And that's different from Barry Obama how? For instance, when has Trump ever lied about something half as big or consequential as
    his lies about Obama Care?
    Far from families saving $2,500 a year on health care premiums, Obama Care premiums are now 140% higher than when his monstrosity
    was first foisted on the public. Think what that means for families scraping by as it is.
    And that lie will get bigger and bigger every year Obama Care is allowed to remain alive. You fail.

    It's this useless waste of Opinion section space that turns many readers off. This kind of red meat appeals to the isolated pockets of New York and California leftist elites, but is a complete turn off to moderate Americans.

    Maybe that's why the NY Times has had to resort to discounting their brand:

    Sorry. Hate to break it to you, but the pic hasn't been debunked. Trump's inauguration attendance wasn't even in the same ballpark as President Obama's.
