Lying

Can Trump-haters admit that his multi-million dollar donation to hurricane relief efforts is a good thing?

This post is a response to a question posed in its complete format: “Question for all you Trump-haters — Can you at least admit that Donald Trump’s multi-million dollar personal donation to hurricane relief efforts, and the $7 million raised through his and Jason Aldean’s joint effort, are a good thing?”

I have a better question.
How can you possibly believe anything he claims?

  • He taught his kids how to steal money from kids dying from cancer.
  • He claimed to forgo his salary as President and spent over $100 million of taxpayer dollars on golfing. The annual wage of a US president is $400 thousand. He spent more than four times the salary he allegedly claimed to reject in four years.
  • He profited from charging taxpayers for the residency of Secret Service at Mara Lago because he refused to stay in the Whitehouse to the tune of $2 million taxpayer dollars. He insisted they stay at his residence and charged them for being there to protect him. Taxpayers paid not only for their salaries but for the profits he made, which constitute the total amount of the four years his salary as POTUS cost taxpayers.
  • He claims to be a billionaire when trying to impress people but sells over-priced junk products to the poor people he claims to be in support of.
  • He’s a convicted felon in a world where charges alone are enough for most people to convict the recipient of charges who automatically believe everything they say is a lie. People still believe Johnny Depp lied and Amber Heard was an innocent waif — even after learning she defecated on his bed. He was convicted on 34 counts and should be rotting behind bars right now, and you believe his words at face value.
  • The Washington Post has a 3-year-old article on Trump making 30,573 false or misleading claims during his tenure in office. https://www.washingtonpost.com/politics/2021/01/24/trumps-false-or-misleading-claims-total-30573-over-four-years/ I understand how easy it might be for you to wave your hand and call it fake news as if they pulled that number out of a hat, but that’s not the case at all. Those incidents are verified by various fact-checking organizations that have taken the time to tally all his lies. Anyone like Trump can lie as often as he wants but never backs up those lies with evidence. Meanwhile, evidence of over 30 thousand statements by Trump has been presented.
  • With such a horrendous tally of lies, I could go on for hours regurgitating examples of Trump’s lies, but that would be pointless. The fact that you can overlook all this publicly available information and then come on here and declare another lie is proof positive that there is no reason to hate someone responsible for more American deaths than Osama Bin Laden is proof on its own that you have serious mental health issues to deal with. You’re even giving Trump credit for an effort that was mostly Aldean’s work.

Do you have even the slightest clue what that kind of thinking indicates?

Here’s a photo of what your question represents:

One of those bodies is you.

That’s what you represent.

A cult member who insists the drinks being served will bring everyone closer to God.

The sad thing is that you’re telling the truth while your Reverend lies his ass off and is planning his escape like Jim Jones tried to, while your body lies rotting on the ground.

Which brings me back to my original question as a response to your question:
How can you believe anything he says, even worse, without asking for a receipt to verify he did what he said he would do?

Before you answer that question, here’s another:
Did you accept or reject the proof of Obama’s birth in both his short and long-form birth certificates?
If not, then why not?

Why would you accept the word of someone who breaks records for lying (and is motivated to lie to you because if he doesn’t, he’ll end up in prison) and reject the proof of Obama’s birth?

Do you not see a double standard in all of this?

You can’t be that disconnected from reality, can you?

You know you need help but are too afraid to do the right thing.

Cowards always are.

Do the right thing for a change before you regret getting what you’re asking for.

Be brave and vote for a woman.

Why is intellectual honesty so rare in politics?

This post is a response to a question initially posed on Quora. and can also be accessed https://www.quora.com/profile/Antonio-Amaral-1/

I believe it’s less rare than cynical minds might think.

Too many people can’t see past their biases to know the difference between a politician’s words and their internal recreations of the meaning of their words.

Too many people, for example, will repeatedly utter how Joe Biden destroyed the economy while professional economists across the board praised it as one of the most successful economies in decades.

Too many people are still incapable of acknowledging the reality of the last election being one of modern history’s most secure and scrutinized elections. They will still adamantly insist that the election was stolen.

They will hang onto the words of a convicted felon who should be rotting behind bars and overlook his public money laundering schemes for overpriced watches and sincerely believe he has the best interests of the struggling class in mind.

They don’t even care how badly he bloated the debt by redistributing wealth to the plutocrats who are steadily taking over the global economy.

They would rather demonize their political opposition as “globalists” while doing the job of playing defence for the actual globalists.

None of them will stop to pause and consider the rationale of their position within any objective perspective.

Everything about their position hinges on tribal identity, and they can’t be wrong about their beliefs because it would mean the criticisms about their toxicity are truthful and correct. They desperately need mental health assistance in the same way that most people who have undergone interventions by their loved ones were deemed in desperate need of professional help.

The problem of corruption in politics is not and never has been a problem with the politicians themselves in a democratic nation where the people vote for who they entrust to manage their affairs on their behalf properly.

The evidence is beyond evident in distinguishing between politicians who at least try to truly represent their best interests and those who parasitically drain their constituents of their value while sending them deep into a pit of poverty.

I don’t even need to post a comparison between states that shows which politicians and parties best represent the needs of the people. It would be pointless to do so because their mental filters will dismiss all evidence as “fake news.”

The problem is not that politicians are dishonest but that the people who elect them cannot discern between honesty and dishonesty. That means that a significant proportion of the population is fundamentally dishonest.

If we are sincere in our desire to fix a perceived problem with dishonesty in politics, then we must be earnest in fixing our problems with being dishonest people at heart.

If we don’t don’t want dishonest politicians, we must stop being dishonest ourselves.
