numerous times, re: russian involvement-what dt said what was in the report v. what really was revealed. I hope that quote goes around the world.
"...blatantly, overtly, bluntly, simply lied."

Trump lies about intelligence report on Russia easily spotted
Rachel Maddow points out that because Americans can read the declassified version of the intelligence report on Russia, we can see that Donald Trump is lying about what the report says about the effect on the election and the hacking of Republican targets.

I know someone who listens to Fox and every time i think Trump has done something so outrageous that she can't possibly think it's okay, Fox has way to spin or distort it so it's reasonable, if not positive.

(3,063 posts)They believe the fake news is real and the real news is fake. The people that listen RW radio & watch Faux news daily are so brainwashed with RW talking points that they believed Trump was telling it like it is.

(42,770 posts)Read that Kelly 2nd most popular and Greta was 5th on Fox News. I was totally surprised that MSNBC has higher ratings than CNN. Think CNN superior IMHO . I think CNN made a huge mistake not successfully replacing Larry King. Think it would be a great gig for Jon Stewart.

It's not just one lie
like most politicians can be held accountable for. He lies about EVERYTHING ALL THE TIME.
It is a way of life for Trump.

(5,810 posts)So when I heard Rachel use the word "lied"tonight and continued to say that he lied (numerous times) I looked up at the TV in utter disbelief. It was almost as though she is daring him to respond. Taunting him into a tweet. He has called journalists out by name so perhaps she was baiting her trap to illicit a response? Or maybe she is like the rest of us and is just tired of the lies and decided to call him what he is....a liar.
I hope he DOES respond because I have a feeling she is a pretty tough bird and isn't afraid of that SOB. Let the games begin. If he is hammered enough it just might make his head explode in rage. Hope someone catches it on video.
