Liar, Liar . . .

Should Trump be impeached? I think yes, he clearly broke the law. But if you're still questioning this, look at his pattern and why believing his innocence is akin to believing a magic fairy will bring you a million dollars on your birthday.

Trump's pattern of lies:

1.      The birther crisis—he said Obama was not a US resident, calling him a liar and a fake. For years he went on talk shows toting this false claim until the election was over, then he admitted the lie and let it the whole thing go. Oh yeah, he says, I lied.  This started when Obama roasted him at a public event, thus triggering Trump’s fragile ego and need for revenge.

2.       Hilary’s hidden email server. This whole thing started when it became clear she might win the election. But not only was it the hidden emails, Hillary became a rapist, a murderer, a criminal. Cries of “Lock her up” could be heard at all of Trump’s campaign rallies, much to his puerile happiness. The FBI investigated these claims countless times and came up with nothing, so then Trump went after them. Perhaps that’s why, in desperation, he called upon Russia to help.

3.       John McCain became Trump’s anti-war hero. A crook, a criminal, a liar, a murderer (see the pattern?) because he voted against the new health care laws Trump wanted to put in place which threatened to end Obamacare. This angered Trump so much that he still bullies McCain—a dead man.

4.       Elizabeth Warren became his new scapegoat after she battled his claim she wasn’t a true American Indian. When she had a DNA test done and only a small percentage showed such heritage, he continued to call her Pocahontas, a racist term which he still uses today. And no one in his camp call him out for it.

5.       Joe Biden—Trump made up a false claim that Joe’s son Hunter ran corrupt business in the Ukraine. Claiming it was his duty to end such corruption, he used the famous quid pro quo term “do me a favor” to new leader Zelensky. It alluded to a secret operative meant to dig up (or create) dirt on the Bidens—as we all know Joe is currently running for president. What a coincidence! The words ‘do me a favor’ are straight out of mob speech, like the term rat—don’t rat me out. Guess who’s used that term before as well?

6.       Greta Thunberg. A young autistic conservationist with a passionate zest for all things of the environment. Who knows what started this ego war, but when Time recently made her person of the year, putting her image on the front cover, Trump lost his mind. He went on to bully her on twitter then had a doctored cover made with his face photoshopped on top of hers. A low move from a grown man—a president.

The point I wish to make is this: we have a pattern. In each case a false narrative is started by Trump—usually after some event in which he feels slighted or challenged, then it goes into full blown conspiracy meant to derail if not imprison the innocent party. The claim that Obama wasn’t a US citizen went on for years. Trump spent countless years, time, energy sticking by his lie until it wasn’t needed anymore. He makes up detrimental, hurtful lies to destroy what he sees as an enemy, and vehemently asks the world to believe him. He hires lawyers, search teams, goes on talk shows, radio shows, and twitter stating false facts over and over again. He breaks laws. As president, he makes up his own rules and does whatever he can to win. Including obstruction and collusion. Clearly, he’s lying about the innocent party, yet he gets by with it over and over again. It’s a pattern. He lies. He’s a liar. He lies to destroy people. Even children. When people still seem undecided over whether he should be impeached I say, look at the pattern. When has this man shown himself to be telling the truth? And why does America deserve to live in the shadow of his falsehoods one moment longer than today?

Fa la la la la . . .




I'll be going somewhere similar at a point in the near future, piped versions of Last Christmas by various artists blasting from mystery speakers high above; my desperation is intense because it's getting close to Christmas and I have not done a speck of shopping as of yet. How about you? Have you filled your bags with goodies and emptied out the purse (wallet)? Shopping is a slippery slope of selflessness and gluttony--One for them, one for me. Hello, new socks with glittery snow bears on them. Who wouldn't like an 'AS SEEN ON TV' toilet light? It's on discount. I'll see you when I get back. If . . .
