Why are republicans always avoiding or perverting reality? Isn't that the very definition of evil?

What does Jesus have to say about this? What does Satan have to say about this? I'm gonna go out in the desert alone and fast for 40 minutes* and then perhaps I will come to a place of understanding.

* No way can I afford 40 days and nights in the desert. My 21st Century nano-fast will just have to do.

The Queen is ALWAYS punctual -- never ever too early or late. Even her bathroom breaks are scheduled (and I know this for sure because I had to schedule Princess Margaret's visit to Toronto many years ago). So I claim -- with certainty, that CNN (or MSNBC) were wrong.

I dislike this cretin and his lack of character as much as anyone here.

But let's stick to facts - there are plenty to keep us posting 24X7 for years.

People will still deny it even given the facts. Like you said, we could post 24/7 about the some 4,000 lies he has told over the course of his term.

He enters the gates at 4:59, and steps out of the car at 5:01. About as close to being on time as you can get.

That said - his claim that he was early, and she kept him waiting, are utter nonsense.

And Joseph Goebbels, attack the opposition with what you are doing, and other tactics they've used many times. Lie , lie bigger, and promote propaganda , then attack the truth, like he's doing to the free press . Nothing coming from him or his minions can be taken for the truth, that's their biggest enemy now.

Well, she was on tv and I was watching.
Perhaps she was early, or not.
But in the moment we were all wondering
why Trump wasn't there.

Fri Aug 3, 2018, 08:56 AM
Aug 2018

is 5:00, you meet her at 5. You don't pull into the driveway at 5, then take 15 minutes to get from the car to the meeting room.

It's equivalent to having a meeting at 5:00. You show up at the meeting room at 5, not pull into the parking lot at 5.

It took two minutes. He was within 5 seconds of shaking hands with her at 5:00 PM.

(Granted - he shoud have arrived a few minutes early - but he was not 15 minutes late. (Nor was he 15 minutes early))

I find it's an easy trap to fall into, both because I dislike Trump and it seems like something he would do, so thank you for posting the link to Snopes. Unlike a Trumper, I will take in this new information and alter my position on this particular event, rather than screaming "fake news, fake news" and hardening my position.

If his mouth is open there are lies coming out of it. I'd guess if he did tell the truth he'd go into anaphylactic shock, as he apparently has an allergy to the truth.
