Clearly unbiased. just the facts.

I mean, the last two quotes are true...

In your world, perhaps.
I guess two things about the "lying" stand out to me. One, they are generally more exaggerating than outright lies, which is a pretty typical behavior pattern for land developers. Two, they are mostly about matters of little consequence. How many times do you have to overstate your inaugural crowd (a stupid, stupid thing to exaggerate) in order to add unto one, "if you like your doctor, you can keep your doctor; if you like your health care plan, you cam keep your health care plan." One impacts millions, the other impacts nobody.

Quote:I watched the PBS coverage and, while no one sounded as extreme as Van Jones, they did not sound that different than Cuomo when breaking down Trump’s speech.

That's because Cuomo and PBS may lean slightly less toward the left than Van Jones.
I really cannot comprehend how Jones got his comments from that speech. I don't think that's where he got them.

Yep, lying to the entire world that North Korea is no longer a nuclear threat is just an overstatement that doesn’t affect anyone...
As Tanq loves to tell me, that’s a nice jug you’re dancing.

Whom has North Korea attacked or threatened with attack?

Expecting their nuke program to go, "Poof," and disappear overnight is an outrageously unreasonable expectation. Having them tone it down--and they clearly have--is an important first step. Wherever this goes, it is hard to argue that significant progress has not been made.

So what you’re saying is they’re still a threat, even though progress has been made.

Hmmmmmm.

Is it that hard to admit that Trump lies all the time about things big and small? This isn’t really a debatable observation - I can probably find dozens of articles documenting all of his lies if you would like.
