A pathological LIAR defends a pathological LIAR - OK - makes sense

Honest man my ass

1. you hit the nail on the head......

the word "honesty" is not in either of these idiots vocabulary.

2. Please don't hit me over the head for this, but personally I find

the entire administration deplorable, and it is filled with a cabinet full of deplorables. I mean it in the very real sense of the word. I don't care who said what. but I sure said this. Every last one of them. The Republicans as a party have a deplorable platform, full of deplorable ideas.

Actually I find them abhorrent. Truth be told, I'm starting to think there may be some flaws with the grand experiment. Kinda looks like we have reached a stage where we need to re-think some things. Personally I don't see why people with low iQ's and people who aren't fully engaged in what is really going on (climate, for example) should have a say, especially if they are sentencing us all to death while we try to "change their minds".

At some point the actual safety and security of all needs to come into play and override some things. Plus, the Republicans are just an arm of the corporations and their handlers (ALEC, for example). Not a fan of corporate personhood, which has been totally skewed way out of whack. Don't even get me started on Citizen's United.

4. Excellent post

The fundamental philosophical question for me is this - market or society?

6. The whole Republican party is a vast criminal enterprise

motivated and corrupted by the relentless pursuit of money at any cost. They worship the god of money. They want to never pay any taxes, or pay the least possible, to spend as little money as possible on anyone but themselves. They will do anything, tell any lie, fear-monger any sucker that stands in the way of getting more and more money.

3. Who thinks he understands what reality is?

Or that whatever it is means the same thing to him 2 different situations in a row? In a responsible world he would have been escorted off stage by two large men, and that would have been the end of it.

5. Laughable, if not so terrifying

Imagine a democratic contender for the WH refusing to show their tax returns? Imagine one putting out a goofy doctor statement like he did? Keeping personal business? He has not followed any rule, yet the gop praises him. ONLY because he is so detached, they can destroy this country with no interference. He needs to be taken down, along with the crooks in the gop "leadership". Republican presidents ALWAYS make a mess of things, but this time we are being destroyed.

9. True, but it's most conservative voters who are terrifying,

not a man who literally would not be able to keep from running a fast food franchise into the ground. The man they elected POTUS.

7. I understand what reality is

If I tell you that it is appearance and emptiness, would you understand?

[Hortensis]

10. No. I have a rather literal mind. :)

I like questions that have provable answers and avoid both abstruse philosophy and poetry.

8. It remains a matter of national security.

of the highest magnitude.

The White House has been taken over by a nest of spies, liars, and a criminal enterprise. We are at threat as we speak.

11. In their minds they think they cancel each other out!!!nt
