#serial liar

The dumbest, most dishonest president in American history, Trump, posts FAKE photos comparing the Reflecting Pool under Barack Obama to its appearance under his administration. The problem for the serial lying psychopath is that both photos have the exact same clouds.

I sent her off with open palms,

A birthday wrapped in softened psalms,

To prove that trust, once cracked, could heal,

That our love could still be raw and real.

No leash, no watch, no doubting tone,

I stayed behind and stood alone.

It was her day, her trip, her sun,

And mine, a gesture to say, "We are one."

She'd slipped before in silent clicks,

In DMs spun like candied tricks.

But this was real, for her a getaway,

To wipe away old stains, start clean, and stay.

I drove her there after I paid the cost,

A gamble on what we had almost lost.

A test I thought that love would pass,

But trust is fragile, made of glass.

While candles burned and glasses clinked,

Another man replaced the ink.

Her name, this date, rewritten fast,

While I stayed loyal to the past.

The bed I made, she made her scene,

With breath not mine and hands unclean.

A birthday wish turned sadistic curse instead,

The weekend I gave her became my dread.

She blew the candles out on the cake, only for me to blow apart.

She kissed him warmly in his room and with it cooled my heart.

The irony of it all, in a cruel twist,

My trust of her was just a Judas kiss.

Now birthdays bleed into regret,

A date our souls won't soon forget.

Not just a lie, but where and when,

The gift I gave her was to lose my trust again.

So here's a toast with bitter grace,

To love that wore another face.

My trust betrayed in bold display,

The price then paid was in sending her away...

Hoy exhortamos a todos los que aman a nuestra isla bonita, la tierra del mar y el sol, que no le presten su voto a Donald Trump. A todos los puertorriqueños que puedan votar que nos representen a nosotros, a los que no podemos votar. Voten por Kamala Harris. »

— María Luisa Ferré Rangel, editor of El Nuevo Día, writing in an editorial "Los puertorriqueños deben votar por Kamala Harris"

In English:

« Trump suffers from psychopathic elements that he evidences by lying repeatedly. He has no moral compass and believes that the rules do not apply to him. These are traits typical of those people who qualify as malignant narcissists. Trump is one of the worst. With these emotionally hollow characteristics, the only thing important to that type of person is themselves. This is evident in his distortion of reality. To Trump, no one is better than he is. Only he exists. We are facing one of the most critical moments, not only in the history of the United States, but of the world.

Just a quick reminder that this ‘blog’ takes a newspaper headline from exactly one year ago and compares it to today’s reality. Let me say this, we have not been served well by either our press or the media in general.

08.02.20. Mail Online:

“Britain’s are optimistic about the country’s future after Brexit.”

How wrong can you be? But then those who voted for Johnson and Brexit knew they were electing an incompetent  serial liar to run the country so no sympathy from me.

06.01.21. Bloomberg:  “Bank of England Governor Andrew Bailey risked reigniting the politically charged debate over Brexit by predicting that the trade deal struck with the European Union could end up costing the U.K. economy the equivalent of more than 80 billion pounds ($109 billion).

07.01.21. Tax Research UK:  “Northern Ireland’s food shortages and English   indifference.”

07.02.21. Sky news: “Exports to the EU have plummeted by 68% since Brexit.”

Welcome to post-Brexit Britain and the “new normal”.

Trying to refute the numerous individual lies of Trump and his cronies is time consuming and it certainly won’t convert any MAGA zombies anyway. The latter are part of a cult and make up their own reality with conspiracy theories -- they won’t listen to somebody preaching logic and rationality.

The best way to respond is to simply point out that Trump is a pathological liar. There is no shortage of data on this.

President Trump has made more than 20,000 false or misleading claims Donald Trump Archives - FactCheck.org Reporter asks Trump if he regrets 'all the lying.' He didn't answer. 

His sister Maryanne Trump Barry has known him longer than anybody else alive. She regards him as a liar and phony who can't be trusted.

In politics, especially in campaigns, you paint with big broad strokes -- not with tiny brushes. You are creating a mural, not a miniature painting that observers have to squint to see. Highlight Trump’s biggest and most obvious lies and you undercut everything else he says. Don’t be afraid to repeat. Successful advertising campaigns are usually repetitious ones.

His biggest lie, one which affects all Americans, was uttered on the day that the first COVID-19 infection was reported in the US.
