Discussion: Haberman: Trump's Lying When He Claims NYT Didn't Ask For Comment For Story

Mark Mazzetti, Maggie Haberman, Nicholas Fandos and Michael S. Schmidt, all reported this story, ergo they’re all liars. The story’s more important than what’s being discussed here.

So now we know what it takes for Haberman to call out Trump on a lie - it has to be about her.

Maggie found the missing word from her previous stenography-LIE.

That’s kind of what I’m thinking. Maybe we should ask Daniel Dale? I know he’s keeping track of all the lies, hopefully he’s creating a searchable database at the same time. That would be super helpful.

You’re too kind in using “cynics”, when would-be stand up comics trying out their act in the face of crucial reporting about trumpp’s treachery in repeated attempts to shut down investigations about him is what we have. And the future of a free press. That’s all.

I’m wondering why, among four authors of the Times piece, the only female gave the response. Way to bait Trump. One of our own comments here reminded me that some people just can’t help themselves, bless their hearts.

@tpr So when what you call a strographer calls the moron a liar she’s not wrong. I see way too much misogynism on this board, and no mention of the three men who also contributed reporting and must also be stenographers and liars

Not that anyone is going to be swayed by this I suppose but last night on Colbert, McCabe said he thought the press had been doing an incredible job of covering Trump and the investigations.

Is this the real life? Is this just fantasy ?

(Sorry, guess what movie I just watched the other day. …)

Maggie along with three men whose names no one knows Mark Mazzetti, Nicholas Fandos and Michael S. Schmidt are all lying stenographers.

It doesn’t matter, but he knows full well he’s lying.

Donald Trump is mentally ill.

It’s time our country takes steps to protect our values and our children from this monster. Lying is wrong.

Shame on every Republican. Shame on every silent church.

Saw it last week, and I still can’t get the damn song out of my head.

“I don’t know whether he knows it’s a lie* or whether he is telling himself this is true**, whether his staff doesn’t tell him that we have reached out***, but I find that awfully hard to believe that his staff did not brief him, once again, that this kind of a report was coming.” ****

* He’s a no-good pathological liar who lies out both sides of his mouth at the same time, and if he ever caught himself telling the truth, he’d lie just to keep his hand in. (Apologies to Harry Truman.)

** He’s delusional (possibly in the grips of tertiary syphilis).

*** His staff is hopelessly incompetent, having only recently arrived from Crackerville.

**** His staff lies to him on a daily basis, to protect their useless, craven, sycophantic, boot-licking jobs.

Trouble in paradise.

Soooooooo … all that ass-kissing to cling to your precious “access” and where did it get you, Maggie?

Yep, under the bus, with all the rest of the people trump has knifed in the back.

Took you this long to figure it out? Well, at least I’m glad you’re finally admitting he’s a liar.

That’s awesome. Thanks for mentioning it, as I am never up late enough to watch. It’s just a small ray of sunshine, but one sorely needed in these times.

Hope springs eternal. :+1:
