And the way his supporters downplay these lies is despicable – and dangerously serious.

It's not lying. It's "shaping reality." The masses eat it up. Reality sucks, so live in delusion.

…to enrich and protect himself. Don’t leave that off.

Can you stop calling that asshole president. Just call him by his last name. The press called Obama Obama and biden biden. He doesn't deserve the respect so stop giving it

FFS, stop calling him “president”! He doesn’t deserve the respect of the office.

Given that USAID procures condoms for $0.05 (for Gaza, Mozambique), that number, points out AJ, is ONE BILLION condoms. 😱 The more you know, eh? http://aljazeera.com/news/2025/1/30/is-the-us-sending-50m-in-condoms-to-gaza-as-trump-claims

Reporters and journalists need to get very comfortable with the response "You're lying.".

I stopped watching CNN after you were no longer employed there. However, now I see you're back on as a political comment commentator, so anytime I switch to CNN, and you are on, I stay and listen to what you have to say. Your comments are right on and very insightful.

In his first month back in power, Trump "has demonstrated once again a brazen willingness to advance distortions, conspiracy theories and outright lies to justify major policy decisions."

Excellent @peterbakernyt.bsky.social piece leading the NYT right now:

No news.
Impeachment or work for it are news.

It’s pretty clear the swing state voters wanted a president who lies constantly. Journalists writing about the firehose of lies #Trump constantly spews are being lazy & redundant—they add no value to the grassroots citizen efforts fighting this #ConstitutionalCrisis ALL Americans are facing. #Truth
