And 12, 10, often 9, occasionally quarter after 2...

But usually 5pm on a Friday.

Hey! Those are his "dates" ages too!

"A quarter after 2" is a much better way to describe a 27-month-old toddler. It's around 2 where it's not worth it to measure a babies age in months because the development is slowing down.

Interviewers need a clause that would allow them to show evidence for their statements. So when Trump lies, they are allowed to show a video clip on an iPad, right in the interview of Trump lying. This will of course need even more backup available immediately during the interview like multiple sources and witnesses ready to step on camera and testify.

It would also help if they would actually stop being cowards and tell him to his face that the world knows he's lying, that he did make that promise repeatedly. Hardly anyone ever pushes back on this shitbag.

This woman tried pretty hard to push back.

And his response was to run away. MAGATs think he's a strong man but he ran away from a woman asking questions.

Awesome. I'm glad people do it occasionally but it really ought to be more often.

I'd like to see interviewers get a bit dirtier and more honest with him.

When he gets up to leave in the middle of an interviewer, the interviewer should be asking, "Are you a coward? Why are you afraid to finish an interview?"

I'd rather see post-interview clips that reveal that him as a sniveling little wimp than ones where the reporter begs him to stay while he smugly walks away.

Ol’ poopy pants is senile as fuck. He’s not even bullshitting anymore.

The party told you to reject the evidence of your eyes and your ears. It was their final, most essential command.

Is... Is this gaslighting?

cepelinas@sopuli.xyz · 7 pts · 85d

It is called gaslamping. We have told you that.

It's not a lie, it's tactical misinformation. You can't let the voters I mean enemies know what you are going to do!

It's a special military operation!
