WHEN A LIAR LIES

     Weird title? What else does a liar do but lie? Well, think about it. What happens when a liar lies, when yet another bull**** story is concocted in order to explain away some one or another of gaffes that simply come  rolling down the line. In this case, it is not a 10 year old kid telling a lie about why his homework is non existent. Instead it is about a systemic series of liars and their lies and in this case, the damage is nationwide and even worldwide. It is a virus of contagion that seems to never end as each and every one of the top rungs of the administration fall to this virus - or perhaps even solicit the virus even as parents used to have chicken pox parties for their kids.
     It is one thing to do something bad or off or in error - if it is in error - and another to lie about it. It simply adds to the lack of moral character that this administration evidences and to their stupidity as lie after lie is refuted ad yet there they are, the kid with the cookie crumbs around his mouth and the chocolate stains on his hands, but nope, he did not take another cookie. Uh - uh, not him. 
     How are we supposed to function as a country when its very leader and cohorts lie as naturally as breathing. How are we to function when there is simply no more trust between leader and people. How are we to function when we are treated with contempt, as the liars think we will never uncover their lies and if we do - so what!!!
     So let us take a look at the latest lies, the most recent ones of a wacky and slimy 13 months of a Trumpian culture and of course the campaign. It is nigh onto impossible to document all his lies though the NY Times did give it a good try recently. 
so....
      1. The administration and Trump in particular are just shocked by the revelations about domestic abuser Rob Porter. They simply never knew this. Uh, Wray, the FBI Director under sworn testimony detailed the true timeline. Oops!
     2. Trump never abused anyone, and even if he did, they are still telling lies about him and his own voice confirming his sleaziness and possible criminal behavior - well, that is a lie too. Just ask him! So Summer Zervos is telling a lie I guess. And the $130,000 payment was made not by Trump or the campaign but evidently by his lawyer, Michael Cohen, who just threw himself under the wheels of the bus all for his boss to remain clean. Well, guess what. I do not believe him, nor does it explain away why there was a need to pay off, and nor does it take away from Trump's nauseating behavior and complete and total lack of decency and understanding of a moral life. Such is the realm of liars.
     3.The lies are catching. Even the wives or spouses are not immune. Louise Linton, the wife of Mnuchin, keeps opening mouth and inserting her foot as she tries to explain away her egregious behavior. So to do that she used visual aids and showed a picture of herself in a sexy kitten pose!! Just what the hell are these people thinking! Do they have any brains at all? What universe do they think they occupy? How much more contempt can they display towards the electorate?
     4. Russia, Best buddy, Putin. Did they or didn't they? This is not an old Clairol commercial. There is a huge backlog of proof about the Russian interference in 2016 and their continued interference and nefarious plans for 2018. Even the intel chiefs warn us about this. Their bots have been exposed. Their trolling has been exposed. But nope, Putin is like somebody's best bud, so no more sanctions, please. Lies, lies and more lies.
     5. Subtopic - the memo. The Democrat's memo tells the truth, presents all the facts and does not conveniently use lie telling via omission, leaving out all the telling and truth confirming details and they refuse to back down. Good for them. I just hope they maintain this moral backbone. Why should the lies of omission and commission of the Trumpian dynasty not be revealed. Why may we not finally have the opportunity to set the facts out and if Pence was involved as I am coming to believe more and more, then oust him as well.
     6. The lies in the behavior of his Secretaries. Huh!! They claim innocence from their outrageous first class flying bills - well, they certainly knew where their asses were, in what seat. How difficult is it to tell the organizer to book coach!! Lies yet again. And again. Even as they go about destroying the safety regulations and destroy our natural environment. Lies and lies.
     7. They love immigrants - if they are legal, right? Wrong. The roundups, the arbitrary grabbing of people off the streets, out of buildings, at court on other business, in front of families with no warning, not even a goodbye hug - these exist. These moral failings, this huge fault line in their values system exists and it is beyond morally chastising words. Thank the Lord there are lawyers fighting the battle and  one was saved right off the plane . But how many do we not hear about? How many deaths in the awful overcrowded detention ecnters? How many neglected minors? And selfishly, how much are we losing as a nation from the young and eager, the new thinking, the additional mix to our culture, our rich mix that has made the USA unique. How many more lies that rip people apart do we have to suffer?
     What happens when liars lie? Disaster that creeps upon us, sometimes faster and sometimes slower, but creeps it does. We are losing our souls even as the liar in chief keeps on going like an evil Energizer bunny. What happens when a liar lies. He takes other along with him and we are compromised as a people, as individuals and as a group, as we tolerate this.
     Liars are reprehensible and their lies harmful and morally so wrong. Time to get the liars out of town, out of Congress, out of the State houses, out of our lives.
