... Reuters now reporting that Giuliani's claim of a Sept. 1 deadline was "entirely made-up".

[dalton99a]

[Achilleaze]

3. KGOP republicans lie pretty damn consistently

[DemocracyMouse]

25. KGOP? Wgat the gheck is ghat?

[Achilleaze]

26. .

[NewJeffCT]

4. But, the original story

was a big news story over the weekend. Hardly anybody will notice now that it's been debunked.

[unblock]

5. the only thing shocking is that these liars still get tons of free airtime.

where's the journalistic value in widely airing any self-serving lie someone cares to make up?

real journalists hate it when sources "burn" them, and it doesn't take too many lies before a real journalist simply ditches that source entirely. usually it only takes one.

[Cha]

6. Yeah, we know, Reuters

POS LIAR has POS LIAR working for him.

[Blue Owl]

7. Ya mean the mayor of 9/1 is a liar?

NO! It can't be so...

[onecent]

[elmac]

13. any news from a fascist is fake news. nt

[aeromanKC]

14. So in other words, FAKE NEWS from the Trump White House.

Fake news is their Modus Operandi.

[Yo_Mama_Been_Loggin]

15. Imagine that

[Lee-Lee]

16. Of course- he is using those lies as a calculated tool

If he says the lie and nobody within the investigation responds, and then they go past that date, the he will scream “they can’t find anything and keep extending the deadline in desperation!”

By forcing a response, now he has an idea of what their thinking about timelines are that he didn’t have before.

[0rganism]

17. now that the lie has spread around the world, time for the truth to get its boots on

we haven't just lost the battle for our federal government, that was a natural extension of overarching cultural circumstances: we lost the war for a consensus reality

fact-based truth becomes just another lagging indicator, and reality is whatever the guy with the biggest megaphone says it is. we lost this "game" decades ago, because we thought it was being played on a different field with different rules. our team shows up ready to play political baseball, their team comes prepped for a pro-wrestling match. they gave up the policy debates a long time ago, it's all image and special effects going forward. (not to say they don't support policies -- just that they don't debate them seriously anymore) it's all about grabbing a news cycle and holding it while you get your propaganda out. as i see it, Democrats have a couple choices: meet them on their own field on their own terms, full of bullshit and decibels, signifying nothing, OR get the public interested in political baseball again. either path is difficult, but things aren't easy when you've lost a war.

[GoCubsGo]

18. Yeah, no kidding.

Kind of like everything else that he and everyone else in the administration spew from their pieholes.

[Iggo]

19. "Now" reporting?

They should've reported it the minute he said it.

[KY_EnviroGuy]

20. Let's remember this - for relief.

Robert Mueller and his team has no obligation to listen to Giuliani's public rants, or Trump's for that matter. He won't be swayed by all this bullshit. However, he may have a team member monitoring this crap to pick up juicy items that could aid obstruction charges.

I really think most of this tRump fluff stays within the Repug noise bubble, but it's still very dangerous and corrosive to our society. It also keeps us on the progressive side infuriated and distracted, and our media people in a constant spin.

...........

[MyOwnPeace]

22. You got THAT right!!!!!

Truly - spin the same old BS and that's what the numb-nuts will believe!
Yes, we do have to have faith in what our "elected officials" will believe - but, OMG, who's filling their pockets to win their "beliefs?"

[MoonRiver]

21. What a surprise...NOT

[pangaia]

23. rudi is made up. he is not a real person.

Haven;t folks figured that out yet?

[FiveGoodMen]

24. Lying must be punished and not protected

Or else liars will win EVERY time.

[Honeycombe8]

27. Yeah, I thought it might be a lie. Not something Mueller would tell the Ghoul...

if Mueller even knew. He may not even know when he's going to wrap up.
