          Not like I disagree, but how would you even go about proving that Trump is a liar and not just a fucking idiot? Like, I fully believe he is a liar, but if a paper wants to call him a liar they’d want proof that he knows what he says is untrue.

          Then again, even if they had proof there’s a decent chance they wouldn’t call him a liar, because the need to maintain “civility” is far more important to them than almost anything else. Cut a liberal and all that.

            The idea of civility, a mere whiff of an intellectual fart, is in fact more important to them than actual human lives.

            This at the end of the day is what I mean when I insult a centrist by calling them a liberal.

            It is an utterly hollow worldview built out of all the easy nice things that divides people by providing a corrupted, deeply incomplete vision of a better future and then collapsing it into cynicism, at which point the liberal throws up their hands and becomes a good little conservative (though they still might call describe themselves as on the left for decades).

    Trump said

    It’s a lie

    Don’t know what he said, but I know it’s a lie, because that’s all he ever does

    what, are you telling me that Donald Trump, the current president of the United States, lied? Stop the presses!

    What’s the point in doing this and complaining that no one outside of American buys American cars?

    The second part really wasn’t needed, NYT, but thanks. Unless it’s a standard now to add that to the end of anything he says.
