All liars are not created equal, nor are all consequences for lies the same.

They're ALL liars, nobody cares. We expect them to lie. Mark Twain said they were all liars 125 years ago.

Yeah, remember when someone got shot at a Presidential ranch? TV comics made jokes about a politician shooting someone in the face instead of the back.

Do you prefer a good liar or a bad liar? Do you prefer big lies or little lies? Which type of liar is more equal? I am not sure what you are trying to say with "All liars are not created equal".

His liars are fine. 'I never had sex with that
woman, never." "You can keep your doctor."
The liars on the Right are evil incarnate.

Trump in SC right now. He rattles off
at least 10 names from memory in a
5min span. 72 years old, could Obama
or Hillary do that? Are you kidding?

Place is jammed and thousands outside
came even though they knew they
probably wouldn't get in. America loves
The Donald..

He has this thing where he connects with
the audience. Immediately. You feel like
he's one of you, that he understands. He's
a billionaire, how the heck does he do it.

Part of it has to be all the TV and movie work he has done. I saw a YT compilation of his cameos, amazing how many there were. He learned how to deliver a message. Learned how to cut thru.

But it is more. He had to make his own way. He did not have a Senate seat handed to him based on his name. He didn't spend his life in a university or think-tank where results did not matter. He has been surrounded by regular people, and sees their struggle. Though he has not been in a "waiting for payday" situation, he has likely seen enough employees in that situation to know.

Anybody else seeing the Dems crap
their pants over the insane babblings
of Maxine? This will bite them in the
election, Maxine is now the spokesman
for the party. Just turn on any news
channel. People remember this stuff,
especially in an election year..

Yeah. People will forget about the children kidnapped and held hostage by this administration but they’ll sure remember Maxine.
