Fact checking Trump is a new area of focus for J-school students. The only question is whether it becomes a full-fledged major in and of itself.

I foresee an additional question. After Trump Trauma, will everyone who follows be truthful, at least by comparison?
That is, after Trump’s gone, will the Fact Checking community ever be able to Mistrust again?

Much as I respect the journalists who take the time to debunk Trump’s lies, the truth is, we are past that. We are at the point where we can just assume that everything coming out of his mouth is a lie.

There needs to be an expanding pool of “We.” Take a look at Daily Caller, NewMax, WND, et al, Yes, they’re kicking the bucket but not as fast as a progressive movement needs it to be. Time to once again talk to neighbors, friends, and dare to not play ‘nise.’ Polite, but not nice.

Oops …

Somebody must have taken too much ice cream …

Is there anyone who has a better bead on Comrade Cockholster — or a more refined, acerbic sense of snark — than Vanity Fair editor Graydon Carter?

He set his sights on the Troll of Trump Tower decades ago (minting the neologism “short-fingered vulgarian” in the process) and, to his credit, has only improved his aim.

Here’s Carter’s brilliant assessment of Hair Führer’s “Worst First 100 Days in Presidential History” and other related abominations.

Excellent article, thanks for the link.

If Trump isn’t lying, he isn’t speaking.
