We are living in a time where both fair comment and constructive criticism is deconstructed and reengineered as hate speech!

And means a malevolent and inherently evil self-centred power junkie can remain in office as a Teflon coated leader supported by spit lickle, brown-nosing subordinates and deceived self-delusional supporters, who are clearly, both blind and deaf to any fair critique, in a land with the very best democracy money can buy!

Yes Sir, No Sir, three bags full Sir, How high Sir? No names no pack drill, Sir!

An interesting piece, with a bit of a bob each way, unlike Alans post.

You know Alan, if you could get a bit of the hate out of your system, your posts might become more readable.

Trump won! Trump will win again!
Suffer in your jocks lol!

Trump lured Soleimani to Iraq under the pretext of making peace in Yemen, but it was a ruse for a targetted assasination.

He's a terrorist for Israel.

He was right to be looking for the deep state pay to play server in Ukraine though, All the covert wars and conflict energy and corrupt members of Congress all with their fingers in the pie.

Apparently Rouhani's put an 80 million dollar bounty on Trump's head.

Dear Laurence (the author),

« President Trump has made a big issue of the "truth" being distorted or concealed in the media and public debate. His implacable foes brand him as a pathological liar … consider the six-page letter sent by the President to House of Representatives Speaker Nancy Pelosi on 17 December 2019 protesting the House's then proposed impeachment resolution … »

According to The Washington Post’s Fact Checker as reported by the HuffPost dated 17.12.2019 :

« Trump as of Dec. 10 had told 15,413 untruths during his presidency – an average of 14.6 lies per day for each of his 1,055 days in office.

He made 1,999 false claims in 2017 and 5,689 in 2018 – a total of 7,688. He’s ramped up the untruths in 2019, hitting 7,725 falsehoods with three weeks still to go in the year.

PolitiFact has bestowed on him its “Lie of the year” award for the third time. »

However, as Trump’s total number of lies of 15,413 (according to The Washington Post) was as at 10 December 2019, obviously, it does not include any lies or “fake news” contained in his six-page letter to Nancy Pelosi dated 17 December 2019.

That, plus whatever else he contrives, should probably bring the grand total up to about 15,500 as at the end of 2019.

He shouldn’t be too far off the 25,000 mark by election time in November 2020.

Unfortunately, it’s not a joke. Nor is it just a terrible disgrace, it’s far worse than that. It’s creating a sentiment of uncertainty and insecurity, not only in the United States, but throughout the whole world.

The current President of the United States is unpredictable, unreliable and untrustworthy. As a banker would put it : “his word and his signature are of no value”. Kim Jong-un knows that. The signatories of the Paris Climate Agreement know that. Vladimir Putin knows that. Iran knows that. The Kurds know that ...

We in Australia had better wake up to it too – before it is too late !

"Trump as of Dec. 10 had told 15,413 untruths during his presidency"

That's a lie

'"Trump as of Dec. 10 had told 15,413 untruths during his presidency"'

and then we have Pelosi, Ford, Biden, Clinton, Smollet, Cortez, Mueller and the lying liberal media. He has a long way to go to catch the democrats/swamp.
