Local news (Los Angeles) before heading to a commercial said...

"Donald Trump does a victory lap..."

Seriously? A victory lap? Hiding the truth, and making up a lie is a victory?

Hell, at what point can the rest of the U.S. start lying and denying? On parking tickets, on taxes owed, on late bills...we can deny it and make up our own terms. What's good for the fat, sleazy, traitor goose is good for the gander.

I don't know why they bother to call it "news" in LA - they brag about and spend millions on souped up helicopters to film high speed car chases - even pre-empting other programming for hours while failing to cover actual news or discussing local issues.

6. I think it was channel 9. I was watching a recorded show and it went live to the news afterward.

Investigations are continuing and Barr and the GOPs are going to get their comeuppances. All his rallies are nothing but hate fests.

3. I avoid the news at times like these, so I didn't know he was doing several rallies. Thin skinned.

It's pretty obvious (if that's the case), that their plan is set. There is no way they are going to let Mueller's report be released. It's going to be another Kennedy assassination sweep-under-the-carpet. The Dems better plan for this.

4. Trump and the MAGAts better not celebrate too soon:

5. Seriously, this is what everyone is calling it, because that is what HE thinks it is. ...

This kind of lie by Trump can be thought of as Trump's Positive Affirmations, in that if he keeps saying it he can pretend it's true, plus a certain percentage of his MAGAts will believe it too.
