How many times have you heard people say that all politicians lie?

If someone uses language that is not part of common everyday vocabulary, they are lying. The act of showing manners by not using offensive language is considered a lie by people who would rather say n--- than African American, but feel pressure to be "politically correct."
Etc.

BUT

If someone tells a lie so big that everyone knows it's a lie, they are revealing honestly. Because only an honest person would tell transparent lies and show their ugliest self.

tRump LOVES himself more than anyone in the world. I have not figured out why that is, since he is repulsive in every way.

I am convinced he wants out and Bob can provide him a way out. Do you resign or wait it out? Can the President go broke while in the White House? What happens when your foreign money dries up? Can you survive politically when your followers are the willfully ignorant like your self? Who goes first top to bottom or bottom to top?

In the end no one makes Trump a deal as his world is decimated. The grim reaper is at Donald's door. It has to be somebody else's fault.

13. Will Robert Mueller Separate Fact From Fiction?

In Washington, the 'first law of holes' is one of those shopworn maxims that are so familiar,
they need not be spoken. It's like what you should do if you want a friend in the capital:
'Get a dog' goes without saying.

But maybe things are different where Donald Trump came from. And maybe that's why he didn't
know what to do when he found his young presidency in a small hole involving contacts between
a few of his underlings and Russian officials.

Now he's learning the local folklore the hard way. The first law of holes is, if you're in one, stop digging.
Three times, Trump heard assurances from former FBI director James Comey that the Russia
investigation wasn't aimed at him. Instead of putting his shovel down, though, Trump worked it furiously.
According to Comey's sworn testimony, Trump pushed the G-man for a public exoneration, and when
Comey demurred, he may have pressed his case with Director of National Intelligence Dan Coats and
National Security Agency Director Mike Rogers. Unsatisfied, he fired Comey in ham-fisted fashion,
then reportedly boasted to Russian visitors that he did it to take pressure off the investigation.
Now he's in the hounded condition of various predecessors: struggling to regain control of the agenda,
lashing out at aides, shouting at television sets and peppering his dig-the-hole-deeper tweets with
all-caps exasperation.

He blames his enemies, but guess what? All Presidents have enemies. Successful ones try to outsmart
them. Trump's own actions have turned a small hole into a yawning abyss: a special counsel's
investigation that could run from the Oval Office to Trump Tower and command headlines for the
next year or more. Trump has traded the anguished Hamlet Comey for the adamantine Marine
Robert Mueller, the Justice Department ramrod who remade the FBI after 9/11. As special counsel
appointed in the wake of the Comey firing, Mueller has one job, no deadline and bottomless resources,
and he is assembling an all-star team of veteran prosecutors whose expert backgrounds go beyond
counterintelligence to include money laundering, corporate fraud and the limits of Executive Branch power.

you don't want up your ass/in your closet digging out your skeletons/whatever cliche you want to use. I understand why Dump would be sweating bullets. He's got a Mall of America full of skeletons in that scumbag closet of his and Mueller is going to drag them all out in evidence.

And as said above, he doesn't have tiny little baby hands.

Not even a little Mona Lisa half-smile like this one.

I kind of like that his resting face is dead serious.
