The Rude Pundit says: Unlike Most of the GOP, the Trumps Are Shitty Liars

[Arkansas Granny]

Let's be clear here: The Republican Party holds the power it does because it is unafraid to lie. From the overhyped fear of Communism to the overhyped fear of crime to the overhyped fear of terrorism, the GOP has jumped from lie to lie to lie in order to maintain power, often pivoting back to ones that work so well, like welfare fraud and, time and again, crime. They recovered from their near dismantling in 2006 and 2008, after Hurricane Katrina in 2005 washed away the Bush bullshit, by going big with the lies about Barack Obama and, especially, about the Affordable Care Act. And as Republican leaders in the Senate desperately try to come up with a way to squeeze out one more turd of a Trumpcare bill, they are lying with abandon, and not just about what's in the aforementioned turd.

---

It was going along so well for the GOP until the Trumps, this family of outsiders, came along and fucked it all up. Donald Trump, Jared Kushner, and Junior have lived on a privileged plane of existence, where having a cadre of brutish dickhead attorneys on retainer is enough of a deterrent for anyone who would dare question them or try to get paid fairly. They could intimidate people into silence or, if that fails, settle any lawsuits with the handy provisions that they admit no guilt and the plaintiffs can't talk about it. They could be bumblefuck corrupt business shitheels and get away with it.

The biggest problem in getting into the public arena is that, all of a sudden, the Trumps have to deal with the federal government, an entity that doesn't just have lawyers but entire goddamned bureaus devoted to investigating just the kind of fuckery that the Trumps have regularly been involved in. Throw in a media that realizes it had better make itself relevant again or just fucking give up, and a group of people as boisterously, unashamedly moronic as the Trumps don't stand a chance. You don't want to be probed and pilloried? Then either don't be corrupt (except in the usual way of sucking up to Wall Street and other rich fucks - that's just sadly acceptable now), like Obama, who could take all the shit and toss it back, or don't fucking run for office.

1. To the Greatest....

... NAILS IT!

[jambo101]

2. Trump is an obvious liar

But his base and supporters dont care, they've completely lost rational thought.to them this idiot is on par with God and as a consequence his cult think he can do no wrong.

[Alice11111]

9. The worse it gets, the more defensive they are,&it's personal

[PJMcK]

3. I love His Rudeness

Here's a quote from later in the essay that perfectly explains the Trumps:

"You don't know when to not fucking tweet out the evidence that, at the very least, reveals the very thing everyone has been trying to pin on you."

Every time Trump or his stupid children project something onto their opponents, it's usually a reveal about themselves.

[Arkansas Granny]

5. I've seen few people who have such a command of rude language.

His essays help me to hang on to what sanity I have left.

[tblue37]

14. TheFerret here on DU operates brilliantly in the same vein as the Rude One. nt

[Arkansas Granny]

17. Now that you mention it, I agree.

[dalton99a]

4. Kick.

[3catwoman3]

6. I saw a brief clip of Junior's appearance on Hannity.

He was talking really fast, almost like a 33 1/3 record being played at 78 (dating myself here). He sounded quite nervous.

[Arkansas Granny]

7. I haven't seen the clip, but I fully understand your comparison (dating myself, as well).

[tblue37]

15. Unlike his BiL Jared, who just naturally sounds like a chipmunk. nt

[PatSeg]

8. I have been amazed

at what horrible liars these people are. I've known grade school children who could spin a lie better than they do. I guess in business it doesn't matter as much. Everyone knows everyone else is lying, its like a game, but government is much different and this bunch did not do their homework.

They will rue the day they decided to tip their toes into politics, though I think they already do.

[Alice11111]

12. Smarts &morals aside, they didnt figure out the culture

and rules, written and unwritten, legal or informal, are totally different. It's almost like they went to an isolated tribe without prior knowledge, and said, "the guilded Trumpsters are here, and we are going to show you how things should be done." Ooops, Our Mighty Jared, Head of all things, just got hit with a poison arrow. Turns out he picked up this stupid looking thing he thought was a toy bow, shot it, and it boomeranged back and hit him. OMG, Jr. has lost all our hidden weapons to the indigenous people. He thought it would be fun to show them off & watch them scramble, but now they are going to use them against us because we killed their mighty elephants and other sacred beasts.
Even the insiders the Trumpsters took to help them couldn't control these arrogant hillbillies, and now they will die a slow death.

I'm sure Pretend to Be Mr. Clean, Pence, has his new VP ready and Ms Southern Belle has picked out her dress with sleeves and covered toes.

[PatSeg]

16. Very good

That is how it looks and your description sounds like an SNL skit. Hard to believe this is really happening.

[Alice11111]

18. Thank you. I wish it was only an SNL skit & not reality

[PatSeg]

19. I agree

Real life has become too much like satire these days.

[Alice11111]

20. Too far out to be written as a novel, but it will be historical

...the accidental President. I Just hope our planet is still around.

[PatSeg]

21. Yes

It is beyond anything I could ever imagine and I have a very creative imagination. Meanwhile, I'm trying to take it all one day at a time as I'm not sure how long we can last.

[Alice11111]

22. If he just didn't destroy at breakneck pace, it would be

easier to wait him out and obstruct his random agenda. He is like King Kong on speed.

[PatSeg]

24. I know

It is amazing how quickly one person or administration can undo years, even decades of progress. We have a tendency to take things for granted, forgetting how long it took to get to where we are. One idiot tyrant could destroy it as you say at a "breakneck pace".

[Alice11111]

26. It reminds me of helping the toddlers built tall towers with legos,

patiently working for a long time. Then, the toddler delights in tearing it down with a blast.

[PatSeg]

32. That is an apt comparison

Minus all the cute of course. Like with toddlers, the destruction is often pointless, destruction for its own sake.

[Alice11111]

33. Yes. For sure.

[zentrum]

10. Well Done, Rude!

[Still In Wisconsin]

11. As in everything else, the Trumps are minor league...

on their BEST day.

[BigmanPigman]

13. The rest of the GOP are such skilled liars that they will lie to cover for him.

In private they are propably tutoring him in Lying 101.

[Alice11111]

23. Yeah, he has to fine tune his skills from business lying to

government world leader lying, while still accelerating his lust for greed. It's a lot to manage for the clan, but fortunately the Republicans are giving them cover.

[Initech]

25. They're all shitty, horrible liars!

Everything that they accuse the democrats of? You can bet your ass they're guilty of it!

[madokie]

27. The Rude one gets it

[Miles Archer]

28. They need more charts and graphs when they're lying, like Paul Ryan

[malaise]

29. But but but

Hillary

[Arkansas Granny]

30. And don't forget

Her eeeemaaiillls!!!

31. That's precisely why I posted that

He is really too simple to not be a fugging lunatic
