Hey most of the stuff he says is fake so why not the videos he posts?

It’s not that he doesn’t know “right” from “wrong.”

It’s that he doesn’t know that there is “right” and “wrong.”

If the truth doesn’t work for you …you lie. Crap like this is infuriating but it has an upside. No one does it unless they have to. Trump’s done. Give it a month and this will seem like nothing. As soon as the election is called for Biden ( probably some time in September ) you best take cover. If TPM thinks FOX like political advertising is a thing wait until then.

If the news isn’t as fake as you need it to be, I guess you have to fake it yourself and attribute it to them.

All you need to know about Trump being racist is his full page newspaper ad asking that the death penalty be imposed on the Central Park Five. And although they were exonerated, he still believes that they were guilty.

That first clip went viral when it originally came out. Anyone with a brain, which admittedly leaves out a lot of people, will remember that there was absolutely no scandal at the time about footage being manipulated, only a collective Awwww. This is not amusing. This is pure propaganda with no pretense of sticking to facts. It’s a harbinger of what will be coming out from his camp from now until November.

If I take the video of me shooting someone in Times Square and alter it, am I absolved of murder?

Donnie’s playing to his base with what he knows. It’s all he’s got.

What will Kellyanne say about this TODAY??? ‘The fake videos were an ALLEGORY…they weren’t meant to be TRUE…they are meant to show you how Donnie really IS. FAKE NEWS is the problem when they report that Trump didn’t KNOW…’ and on and on and on…

Any regular person doing the demented relentless obsessive posting of twisted& fabricated crap that Trump posts - - would get told to seek counseling, stop it …or you are fired… and if like Trump, they failed to stop … they would have been tossed a while ago.

Twitter is just as derelict as Jesus.

It could simply enforce its rules.

OT, but this showed up this morning:

This is what we’ve become.

After multiple generations of participation trophies and awards for just showing up, this is who we’ve become. We have a nation of entitled, self-absorbed, self-important morons who wouldn’t understand community if it bit them in the butt.

Oh, yeah, and Tom Wolfe, the governor of PA who the citizens of that State want to impeach for his handling of the pandemic?

Morons, I tell you. Morons.
