Another day another whopper from our president

OK.
You can keep your doctor.

So you’re okay with Trump lying because Obama lied

Trump can do anything he wants because Obama did the same thing/

@Roxiebelle

Reagan wanted border security and back then we didn’t have the invasion onslaught of ILLEGALS we have today and I myself never thought my country would need a wall but now I believe we do in areas of the southern border that can support an actual wall and that’s the fault of leftist liberal Democrat policies and our bad southern neighbors.

Every single year of Reagan’s presidency, we had way more southwest border apprehensions than ANY year of Obama’s presidency. Every. Single. Year. This is manufactured fear based on ■■■■■■■■■

Sounds like a big fat ■■■■■■■ lie!

OK.
You can keep your doctor.

And I kept my doctor.

[Eclipze]

I kept my doctor as well. Well, until he passed away, but I really can’t blsme Obama on that one.

Fat donald ain’t no Reagan. He shouldn’t even mention Reagans name.

“Rather than talking about putting up a fence, why don’t we work out some recognition of our mutual problems? Make it possible for them to come here legally with a work permit, and they, while they’re working and earning here, they’d pay taxes here. And when they want to go back, they can go back. They can cross. Open borders both ways,” REAGAN said in 1980.

Fantastic catch. I’d never seen that Reagan quote before.

The Democratic leadership, as far as one can tell from the snips on TV, aren’t doing a good job of messaging against Trump. Missing are the real points:

• Democrats have and will continue to support funding for border security. Intelligent, cost-effective border security – this wall isn’t either of those.

• That Reagan quote. Ha. Smoke that, conservatives.

You may not like the way President says things but I would agree that President Reagan and President Trump were and are on the same page on this issue.

That’s one convenient interpretation considering Reagan said the opposite. Here, let me refresh your memory.

I’m sure someone will if you give them the chance.

@Apocalypto

He could’ve easily said from the beginning, that he would prefer to extend the current wall in certain areas of the border and that Mexico would pay for it via trade deals or other means, but he went bat ■■■■ racist stupid to rile the ignorants during the election.

Yeah and other Presidents could have said things differently or even correctly when reading the actual word!

GET OVER IT, President Trump does not talk like like other DC SWAMP politician creatures.

You’d be more successful in turning his supporters away from him by trying to convince us he is becoming like the rest of the Congressional cretins, (now there is a bunch of stupid people) rather then the constant insults and “constant” reminders of how little leftist care for their fellow Americans and their country over illegals!

I kept all my doctors. Plus, I added the leading specialist in my area for a chronic (but non life threatening) condition.

@FloridaYankee

He tried to tear one down though.

Mr. Gorbachev, tear down this wall!!!

And that is not the same thing. It would be if the Berlin wall were built to try to keep people from sneaking in illegally into communist countries.

[Call_me_Ishmael]

@FloridaYankee

The way he says thing? It’s much worse than that. Like I said, it is dangerous. He is basing his policy on the lies he tells, and basing policy (and resultant actions) on lies is, well, bad.

Think Iraq. WMD ring a bell?

Gulf of Tonkin?

You people have spent whatever credibility capital you ever had by supporting, believing, and disseminating fake news. You shoulda kept your powder dry instead of using it to talk about russian hookers and innauguration attendance.

I was not referring to what the wealthy and elite have the privilege of doing.

The humble masses did not all have that privilege.

The right wing talking point has been and will continue to be mocking the, “ if you like your doctor you can keep your doctor”.

I have and it looks like many others on this forum have, too.

This needs to be the rebuttal to every time the Republicans lie about Democrats wanting “open borders”. Unfortunately, the DNC continues to demonstrate a staggering lack of competence.

“Fake news” has been Trump’s calling card about the Russia investigation. And it hasn’t gone away yet and won’t because he’s got some real problems that are still under investigation. Powder puffing about the actions of Dems means nothing when what’s really happening is something quite different.

[Call_me_Ishmael]

Yes… we know all about the investigation that never ends. It is the essential condition that permits all the deceptive innuendo that the left uses. The craft of the left is well known.

[LucyLou]

Fake News.

Yup. I was just being snarky.

[FloridaYankee]

I did not talk about either of those things to any extent. Maybe two or three comments. There are far more substantial issues with this president, like his seemingly pathological lying. It is indefensible and that is why people get on your case. Not so much for supporting him but defending the horrible things he does.
