> [@k9bfriender](#): > > Good question. Why does Trump tell all the lies that he does? > > I think that it’s because he’s a narcissistic pathological liar who wants attention. Get 2 terms of TRUMP for just 2 simple votes! But if you act fast, we’ll suppress one of those elections! That’s 8 years for just one vote! Use the promo code “unredacted” and receive a free tax cut with your order! But you must act now, supplies are limited! Trump uses words like advertising copy. “Unredacted” means as much as “improved” or “homemade”. I’m not sure he even thinks of them as lies; if he says something and it increases the value of his brand, then it was, by definition, the correct thing to say. ---

How many levels of meta are we at at this point? I’ll let **Czarcasm** defend whatever he said, but I’m just saying that, just because there are a lot of replies to a thread, that doesn’t mean the thread or the subject has merit, and it doesn’t mean that the repliers are worried, upset, put out, concerned, miffed, or anything else. ---

Well, then I suppose you should be directing your thoughts to Czarcasm as he seems to think it does. As I responded to him and was jumped on by the usual suspects who have no problem defending his and anyone else’s post. In fact, if K9 hadn’t jumped in to defend, then it is likely you wouldn’t have felt the need to post to me at all. ---

I believe that “upset” covers it. “Worry” would be inappropriate if the context suggests “agitated”. Since we can’t tell for sure from the context, “upset” is what you’ve got. The substitution was not warranted. And with that, I’ll bow out of this hijack. ---

Has anyone gone to check on _Sam Stone?_ I thought he was going to come back and fill us in on the press conference from this morning where all the declassified documents were going to be released. I’m becoming concerned something may have happened to him. You don’t think Hillary and Obama’s henchmen got to him, do you? ---
