EVERYBODY has to call "BULLSHIT!" on every single lie (which probably means every time he speaks) that he utters.
The media has to ask follow-up questions to any lie he makes - he's GOT to be held accountable!

Yes, we know that there's that 30% out there that will never believe it, but, as we RESIST we must leave a solid trail of prove that he is the BULLSHIT MASTER and we will not take it any longer!

accomplished bullshitter. He throws it out so fast that it's really impossible to keep up with it all-- by the time you figure out one lie, he's spouted four or five new ones.

As a New Yorker for many years while he was desperately getting his picture on the Post's Page Six as often as possible, (between bankruptcies, anyway) I, like other Noo Yawkers, just ignored him as much as possible. He was a nuisance-- a minor, but occasionally interesting, irritant. Like rats in the subway, he was always there in the background.

I think that the public is slowly catching on, though, and thus his low poll numbers.

but we know that the subway rats will always be there, and I guess DJT and his ilks will always be there too - but does that give him the right to be the "leader of the free world?"

Being a "Noo Yawker" - you have suffered my friend, but you didn't have to share him with the rest of us!

we always hoped that he would just go away.

But, that was not to be, and now the flyover states are learning.

bullshitting even before he became a republican. And like most New Yorkers, I always saw through it, which is why it amazes me why so many people can't. I suppose we are just so used to his lies and tricks that it doesn't surprise us that he is like this whereas other people can't imagine anyone being so deceitful to such an extent.

He is worse than a subway rat. And I mean that. He offends me more than a giant, NYC subway rat.

...And one from NYC, no less. RW media really has no redeeming value if it can't even inoculate its viewers against this caricature of a big city conman.
