Ummm, if it’s all the same to you, I’d rather we not do that.

What more do you need to substantiate an imaginary event than imaginary witnesses?

Well great! They can all vote for him too. The problem is…there are 314 million people in the USA, 12 million in NYC alone and a few hundred …is…is less than a drop in the bucket. It did not happen. He made it up and the “few hundred” made up their belief in it.
maybe he meant invisable awards…
You might like that leg, it’s always been a part of you. But it’s infected with gangrene, and the only way to save the patient is to amputate. Regrettable yes, but necessary, otherwise the poison travels into the bloodstream and kills.
Yeah, I have to say, I like Topsail. We should leave NC alone.
Yes, your hundreds of psycho racist bigoted fans are also stupid liars. Big surprise.

Trump, 69, also stood by his comments about Muslims cheering on 9/11 in New Jersey
And video, too…he saw it!
I have a question for the many lawyers here whose comments and professional insights have clarified and broadened countless stories on TPM. (A tip of the lantern to you for enriching the experience here.)
Suppose a real journalist from a major news media company were to say to either Trump or Fiorina (Hewlett Packard be thy bane) on national television,
Mr. Trump/Ms. Fiorina, you have made significant claims about Americans cheering over 9/11 /PP selling baby parts and have further claimed to have seen videos of these events. The American people deserve to know the truth. There are only two possibilities, either the videos exist and you will provide them or you are perpetrating a despicable lie. Since we are confident that the videos never existed to begin with, we are equally confident in saying that you are a liar.
Aside from doubling down on the lie and and screaming left wing media bias, etc, ad nauseum, what could/would they likely do. Truth is the perfect defense against libel or slander.
It’s a serious (or is it naive) question. What is the downside for shouting from every corner that the emperor has no clothes…that Trump, Fiorina, et. al. are flat out lying?
We desperately need a Joseph Welch moment…hell we need it on-going. It isn’t enough to argle bargle the lies into “unsubstiantiated claims”
Call the sons of bitches out on national television and in major print media for what they are. In. Stark. Unambiguous. Terms. Otherwise the fucking horse race is gonna take us all down.
Thanks for your thoughts.

LEED certifications for some of his buildings?
That’s the Argumentum ad Populum fallacy.
I have a clip proving that Obama made us all forget the 9/11 cheering scenes. Only a few hundred brave Americans refused to look at the light.

Eventually he will simply shift the goal posts (he’s already doing it with the “why wouldn’t it have happened?” form of argument) and claim he never said what he admits to have said. Instead he will say that “people did cheer” and he stands by that 100%, dissolving the statement into nothingness. Something as vague as me saying that somebody, somewhere is cheating on their spouse. And you cannot disprove it.
Surprise, he doesn’t have thousands and thousands of people that agree with him!
One of the characteristics of the psychopaths some friends of mine and I personally encountered or I’ve read about is their exaggerated and simplistic expressions of numbers. They tend to give large, ridiculously rough and highly vague, and totally baseless numbers to claim their credibility. Sounds like we are witnessing another case, and in a presidential race.

Hans Christian Andersen, go home. We don’t need you anymore. We now live in a different reality, we’ve gone down a rabbit hole, to a place where your tales can’t give us any moral guidance.
Our emperors parade proudly buck naked through the streets, and everyone, including the emperor, is well aware that he is buck naked. It’s not that it doesn’t matter that he’s naked, that we’ve become a society that accepts nudism. We’re just as prudish about that as ever. Nope, the thing of it is that walking around buck naked, when that’s still a supposed no-no, has become the accepted way for an emperor to tell us all that he doesn’t give a flying about the moral conventions that mere commoners have to live by, but that he’s above all that because he’s an emperor, dammit.
Trump doesn’t care that you know that he’s lying. No, that’s not quite right, the fact that you know he is lying is the whole point of the exercise. The fact that he can tell lies and you can’t, is exactly the point he’s trying to get across. He’s a billionaire under a system where the easiest and surest path to making a billion is crony capitalism. He’s not a billionaire because he invented anything useful, or organized the production of some good or service more efficiently than the competition. He’s a billionaire because he’s the son of an Owner, and the sons of Owners are allowed to lie, cheat and steal to make their billions, while you and I have to keep our nose to the grindstone just to eke by.

Perhaps the hundreds who saw the Muslims in New Jersey are the same ones who swear they have been probed by aliens. I believe a significant portion of Americans believe that.
I thought that “Trump” was German for “Mussolini.”
Isn’t it a bit inaccurate to call this a “double-down”. This is more like a quadruple-down at this point.
