‘He blatantly, overtly, simply bluntly lied’

Rachel Maddow points out another bold-faced lie by the president-elect.

Maddow tore into the statement released by President-elect Donald Trump following his briefing with intelligence leaders earlier today over Russia meddling in the election.

What really got the MSNBC host’s blood boiling is that it was apparent that “our new president will flat out lie to us.” Her basis for that statement was over Trump’s declaration following the meeting that Russian efforts to interfere “had no effect on the outcome of the election.”

As Maddow pointed out, the declassified version of the report that was publicly released after the meeting said no such thing. She then let loose with a blunt assessment of what Trump did with his statement.

“He put out a written statement about what he learned in the briefing,” she stated. “And he blatantly, and overtly, bluntly, simply lied about what is in this report. Right before this report got publicly released so we could check ourselves and see that he was lying.”

    What else should we expect from an illegitimately elected president derp? Foreign hacking and politicians acting in collusion, ignoring laws to install an incompetent bloviating buffoon, this is what you get.

    It’s past time to drain the swamp, it’s time to start over. We need to move to higher ground.

    The thing is, the GOP really doesn’t care that almost everything he says is an outright lie. As long as Cheeto-Hitler hates people of color and Muslims, they are fine with it. https://uploads.disquscdn.com/images/614f74cda6085437dd7d326b9b2800c326cacbe74bba523adc67793eda2b9f91.jpg

      The look on Rudy’s face isn’t manic enough. I don’t see froth at the corners of his mouth.

        That’s an old Robert Klein joke. When he did standup occasionally.

    Are we still surprised when we hear or see the words “trump lied”?

    • Mensa Member January 7th, 2017 at 13:08

      But, we gotta keep calling his lies out.

      Otherwise, we normalize it.

      • fahvel January 7th, 2017 at 13:13

        good mm and it should never stop!!!!!!

    Russian hacking is not what caused Hillary to lose. Hillary, “like with a cloth or something”, and her cast of characters are what caused Hillary to lose….

    But wait, I know….

    She didn’t really lose because 3 million more voters, voted Clinton….

    Oh, and the electors need to be stripped of their electoral duty because……

    Wowzer.

  6. trees January 7th, 2017 at 15:46

    You on the left are responsible for this. Trump is just the natural evolution, or byproduct, of Clinton spin. Remember, Bill never had sex with that woman, and Hillary never had classified material on her server, oh, and she also turned over all of her work related email, and there was nothing important in the more than 30,000 emails she permanently deleted, “like with a cloth or something”….

    So, now that you’ve made your bed it’s time to lie down in it.

    • Willys41 January 7th, 2017 at 18:34

      Trump is mentally and emotionally unfit for office. It was obvious over a year ago. But right-wing buffoons all voted for him anyway.

      And now YOU are going to pay the price right along with the rest of us.

      Me? I’ll be laughing. Because Trump proves all my worst suspicions about humanity.

    • StoneyCurtisll January 7th, 2017 at 22:19

      Not you too…..
      Blame the victim for being raped?
      Hillary was right, you people are deplorable~!

    • bpollen January 8th, 2017 at 05:20

      Wowee… the flight from the Cheeto Bandito by his supplicants has already begun! “He’s YOUR fault. Yeah, I voted for him, but it’s YOUR fault I did!”

      Wife beaters use that same logic. Nice company you keep.

      • trees January 8th, 2017 at 09:55

        I didn’t vote for Trump.

        • bpollen January 8th, 2017 at 21:50

          Uh-huh. And I can trust your disavowal for what reason?

          • whatthe46 January 8th, 2017 at 21:56

            he’s a damn liar.

            • bpollen January 8th, 2017 at 22:03

              Yeah, I find no reason to believe him.

              • whatthe46 January 8th, 2017 at 22:07

                looks like someone is figuring out what being embarrassed feels like. lol. he defended tRump and is a racist himself and now all of a sudden, he never voted for him. hell, he even called him “your president.” to hell with that, i’m not letting any of them forget how stupid they are. they need to own this mess.

                • bpollen January 8th, 2017 at 22:21

                  Walks like a duck, talks like a duck, defends racist ducks. spouts duck talking points, plays trollduck games… MAYBE he’s a platypus, but I would require incontrovertible evidence before I’ll believe it. Like an autopsy.

                  • whatthe46 January 8th, 2017 at 22:23

                    lol

                    • Jeanne173 January 8th, 2017 at 22:40

                      Here’s another LOL, my husband claims he didn’t vote for trump( he did) he voted for change.

                    • whatthe46 January 9th, 2017 at 09:05

                      huh?

        • whatthe46 January 8th, 2017 at 21:56

          LIAR!

    • oldfart January 8th, 2017 at 08:07

      Is that your final answer ?

    Donnies 4th grade literacy level con artists for trump are primarily pathological liars too. https://uploads.disquscdn.com/images/da3fb32ce3d95f1a752505ce464112e6f2c51a2a3b5ed777a2eb8c74ebbfd07d.jpg https://uploads.disquscdn.com/images/8801d65c92fb6062c01355839895300b5db7c3fe18f98488cd4dff2be5145676.jpg

    Why would anyone expect Trump to tell the truth about anything? He’s done nothing but lie since the campaign began? He may be mentally incapable of distinguishing truth from fiction and why would he care about the truth unless it serves to further convince the world of how great he is???

  9. Willys41 January 7th, 2017 at 18:34

    Trump’s lies were obvious over a year ago to anyone who was paying attention.
