The place to post each day’s Trump lies.
I’ll start with this one:
“While Hillary was Secretary of State, she funneled $55.2 million of State Department money to Laureate Education while Bill Clinton worked for them.”
The truth:
Good luck with this. It would be nice to have one place where all of his lies and the disemboweling disprovals of same could reside and where one could refer any doubtful voters. Maybe there could also be a words-of-one-syllable version for Trump supporters, on the off chance that any of them would care about facts.
Yeah, I admire the commitment this is going to need.
Throughout the Trump campaign, it’s the *transparency *of the contempt that boggles me. “Our voters are too stupid to care about facts.”
Thats not the way the voters see it.
Voters see it as “facts got us here and this sucks so fuck facts.” Many see it as a choice between facts that they know will fuck them over and non-facts that offer them hope.
Did you not pay attention to the Brexit vote? 
If there’s follow-through on that commitment (by many, not just the OP), then this thread will reach the length of the “Stupid Republican Idea of the Day” thread within a week.
That attitude towards fact checking didn’t work for Romney; I don’t see why the Trump camp thinks it will benefit his cause.
The Brexit vote does offer the perfect opportunity to see how voters react to being told something is a Fact-----and then told the next day that it is NOT a Fact, after all. Oops!
“Walking back” is the term of the day, with reference to Leave advocates having promised to get rid of all those dark-skinned people (they won’t), as well as having promised to give the cash that used to be paid to the EU to…well, practically every interest-group in the UK, but most notably the National Health Service. Ain’t gonna happen, it turns out. Oops!
Of course it’s a preview of what Trump fans would find out the day after Trump is (hypothetically) elected President. No, he’s NOT going to bring back your factory job, he’s NOT going to expel all the dark-skinned people, he’s not going to declare Evangelical Christianity the state religion and outlaw all other religions, and, most emphatically, he is NOT going to build a wall (nor get Mexico to pay a dime toward border operations).
Oops!
Romney didn’t have supporters backing up his lies by claiming it happened to them.
After Trump claimed there were thousands of Muslims celebrating in NJ on 9/11, his supporters started claiming they saw them too despite the fact there was no evidence.
The good thing about a project like this on a board like this is, since we’re so spread apart geographically, it can be done in shifts.
Very apt. Very, very apt. In fact it’s so apt you won’t believe how apt it is. I mean, it’s really apt.
It’s also very close to “I reject your reality and substitute my own,” which used to be funny, because it wasn’t being used quite so literally.
Actual dictionary definition-trumpery: 1. something showy but worthless, 2. nonsense; rubbish. From the French tromper: to deceive, cheat. (Webster’s New World College Dictionary 5th Edition, 2014)
I got one:
Again, Trump demonstrates his political brilliance by taking the rhetoric that the neocon arm of the Republican party has been stewing for the last couple of decades and making good on it, if in completely bull-headed fashion. He’s absolutely correct that most voters, and especially his supporters, don’t give a good whore’s fuck for actual facts.

I know, I know…consider the source:
This article on cracked.com deconstructs the Donald’s Twitter followers, with some interesting hypotheses.
I’m not sure I see the point of your post.
I believe he’s saying that this thread is the place you were wanting.
Re: Trump seeing the celebrating Muslims on 9-11- from where did he claim to have seen them? From his penthouse, on tv?
Then that would be the definition of superfluous. I’ve already posted in this thread so I know where it is; and the point of my first post was the hope that this thread could be that place.
