Trump lying is not news any more. Nobody will bother to report it, because every reporter (even lots of Fox News reporters) know every thing he says is a lie.

A day, nor a speech, has not gone by without Donald Trump spouting multiple lies. Not shades, not fibs, not stretches, but outright, bald-faced lies. The press has become inured to it, and, apparently, so have voters. It is astounding. It is historical. It is depressing.


A well reasoned argument is like a diamond: impervious to corruption and crystal clear - and infinitely rarer.

Here, as elsewhere, people are outraged at what feels like a rigged game -- an economy that won't respond, a democracy that won't listen, and a financial sector that holds all the cards. - Robert Reich

And yet the "conservative" Trump supporters can only rail about Clinton being a liar, based almost entirely upon their own accusations and precious little in the way of fact.

It's an excellent example of the power of ConROT.

It should be obvious that the reason the media gives him so much free air time is to see what foolish thing spews out of his mouth next.
