"I have the world's greatest memory," he told NBC. "It's one thing everyone agrees on."

yes, we do agree on many things about you, Donald, but do you ever agree with yourself?

on another day, which we may all get to see:

In his deposition for a Trump University lawsuit....

Here’s what he said, according to transcript released in late June:

"Q. You’ve stated though, that you have one of the best memories in the world?

A. I don’t know. Did I use that expression?

Q. Yes.

A. Where? Could I see it?

Q. I can play the video of you reporting it.

A. Did I say I have a great memory or one of the best in the world?

Q. "One of the best in the world" is what the reporter quoted you as saying

A. I don’t remember saying that. As good as my memory is, I don’t remember that, but I have a good memory."


http://www.politifact.com/truth-o-meter/article/2016/jul/06/17-things-donald-trump-said-and-then-denied-saying/

what to you want to bet that this was because, during the deposition, he was having a lot of trouble, despite having the world's greatest memory, recalling certain embarrassing aspects of this fraud case.

bad for him

dems are doing a PISSPOOR job of bringing out the apparently COUNTLESS examples of his cynical mendacity, his racism, his ignorance of any details necessary to govern, his bullying, and MOST of all (except for the RAPING), his clear mental dysfunction. it cost Eagleton his seat as VEEP, and destroyed any chance McGovern had of cutting into Nixon's big lead, dooming his campaign from the very start.

The established ones are all playing the distance game, but the attack ads will come out. I read the HRC team spent 35 million on ads coming out so you know it is coming.

Also, we never get a voice in the mainstream media. Ever.

play the game like the pugs do, apparently

I don't understand why they don't try to beat them at their own game, because they have one unassailable advantage: they don't have to LIE THEIR ASSES off, belligerently, and repeatedly, to make their case

they need to

A: mention that trump is a mentally ill, pathological liar EVERY time they begin a statement. EVERY time!

B: STOP the discussion whenever the pug says something that's either a distortion, or a flat out lie. that would really slow things down, but SO FFFFING what????

However, that is what we stand for...I know it hurts us, we have to depend on people to look at both parties and decide why we are better. Keeping the high ground is what we decided on.

I WAS ready to jump through the TV when John Kerry ran and every possible group in the world swift-boated his election into the gutter!

I got so mad! I wanted him to stomp their asses! We have to let people decide, while the RWing forces propaganda down the peoples throats. That is why we lose sometimes, easier to believe what you want to hear.

In a CNN interview in 2007, he said that Hillary, then running for president for the first time, was a "terrific" person who "would do a good job" cutting a nuclear deal with Iran because she "always surrounded herself with very good people."
[/b


On Tuesday, BuzzFeed reported on an archived web page of a blog post on TrumpUniversity.com in March 2008 in which Trump wrote{this, discussing the 08 primary.}:I know Hillary and I think she’d make a great president or vice-president."


in 2012, to Greta VS

"Hillary Clinton I think is a terrific woman," he said. "I am biased because I have known her for years. I live in New York. She lives in New York. I really like her and her husband both a lot. I think she really works hard. And I think, again, she's given an agenda, it is not all of her, but I think she really works hard and I think she does a good job. I like her."


"I just like her," Trump remarked, adding the same of the former president. "I like her husband. Her husband made a speech on Monday and was very well received. He is — he is a really good guy, and she's a really good person and woman."

I know they're lazy as hell, and always follow the CW herd, but their infatuation with the entire TFEE is incomprehsible. those two male spawn
are remarkably unlikeable, yet the media FAWN over them. has anyone seen an oppositional question put to them?

I've been watching as much as I can stomach, but those two are the epitome of lying, sneering, entitled twits

back to MSM motivation, which is hard to feature, but that Zucker ahole, head of CNN, said this recently

“I think it was a legitimate criticism of CNN that it was a little too liberal,” Zucker conceded.

http://www.mediaite.com/tv/cnns-jeff-zucker-concedes-cnn-has-been-a-little-too-liberal/

this, after raising their prime time ad rates FORTY PERCENT in the face of increased viewership...can't wait to see what happens after the influx of what he laughingly calls ''more moderate middle of the road conservatives.'' too bad you can't find any that aren't willingly to lie their asses off, aggressively, obnoxiously, continuously, at the drop of a hat, or a plagiarized speech. un---frickin---believable

translates to, gee, I guess we're been a little too fact-heavy on our coverage of the BIGGEST liar in presidential campaign history, whose utterances have been shown to be more than three quarters FALSE
