WAPO documents 4229 lies by rump.
Hillary exaggerated a story about a helicopter ride, other than that, lies? nope Scandals? nope
Just saying...
What exactly was the reason some said they just couldnt, just couldnt?

(44,150 posts)All his trash talking didn't work. Hillary beat him anyway. She humiliated him publicly just as Obama did at the WHCD. And tRUMP HATES that worse then anything. He seeks revenge, always.

But making up 'sniper fire' was dumb

(62,371 posts)And yet we're still talking about it.
She also very quickly retracted it when asked about it.
Meanwhile people who were there said that the pilots did make them get down but there was never any actual live fire it was just a precaution. Her memory of the incident over a decade later could have easily told her she was shot at.
It is unbelievable to me how people still harp on about it, some 20 years later. It is Dijon mustard level stupid.

(32,640 posts)People were convinced she was dreaming about the children she was going to drone, and was plotting which parts of government she was going to hand over to the oligharchy/Wall Street/Henry Kissinger/the militaryindustrial complex.... anyone but qualified progressives. We were gonna have to constantly "hold her feet to the fire" or she and the "establishment Dems" would hand over the Democratic Party into the party of the 1% within minutes.
Like Susan Sarandon said - we'd be in a nuclear WAR right now!
Oh, and "that laugh." It was gonna be like your MOM being in charge of the country - totally emasculating to men!
Thank God we dodged THAT bullet.
