Welcome to 2019, when a congresswoman says “we’re going to impeach the mother——er.”

Oh, really? 6 or 7 thousand of Trump's remarks warranted checking? Even wdmso hasn't found that many Trump remarks to warrant pointing out . . . and a lot of what he does is pretty trivial.

And the WAPOST? That bastion of objectivity? You know there are other publications and blogs that fact check politicians, and which focus on the leftist side's lies. You might want to expand your field of information and occasionally step outside the anti-Trump arena.

Again, though, your post is just expansive opinion.

Perhaps you could inform us of the mainstream publications that offer this information

I get criticized for linking videos and articles, or the stuff is not watched or really read but poo-pooed anyway. I think it would be better, and more convincing, if you went on the web and searched it out yourself.

More to the point. I am not impressed by nor care much about lists of stupid lies politicians have told. And it is annoying more than informative if every mistake, or ignorant comment, or difference of opinion is called a lie just to inflate the numbers. But if they're funny, I can enjoy that. You may not have noticed, but I think that lying is a common political tactic that is used by all of them, and is accepted by those who want to believe them.

Sure, pointing out some policy to be wrong, whether it is a lie or just plain wrong, can be important. But claiming run of the mill political rhetoric to be a lie is usually a ho-hum, what's new kind of moment for me. And constantly, daily, on and on, harping on someone being a liar begins to take on the character of some psychological tic.

So, OK then, I've vented about it, and wont anymore. Carry on with informing us about Trump being the greatest liar of all time.
