Trump is averaging -- AVERAGING -- 30 false or misleading claims a day in the last seven weeks. And, per the Fact Checker, he often of late soars far above that average. As one example: On October 22, when he traveled to Houston to hold a rally for Texas Sen. Ted Cruz (R), Trump, said 83 untrue things in a single day. 83!A recent interview published in Vanity Fair reveals that trump said, "blacks were too stupid to vote for him."
At a rally this past week, trump claimed that President Obama was the biggest liar because he said over a period of time, that people would be able to keep their own doctors (he thought was true at the time) 28 times. Yes, it was a promise that President Obama thought would happen with the ACA, but because of glitches in the program he had no control over, it didn't come true. However, the lies told by trump number over 6 thousand, averaging 30 lies per day--since he was sworn into office.
He's lying to his base about the danger of the "caravans" attempting to come into the United States illegally. He's lying about the need for 5K troops, undermining the military use of soldiers to invoke fear.
He's lying about Democrats wanting to "take your healthcare" when it has been Democrats fighting for access to healthcare for everyone. Republicans have 9 cases in court--to deny health coverage to people with pre-existing conditions through the ACA program. They know if they can deny people the right to health coverage for pre-existing conditions, it will effectively make the ACA ineffective and they can stop providing all coverage.
Some of the pre-existing conditions Republicans in congress don't want covered are: cancer treatments, diabetes, asthma, pregnancies, mental illness/treatment, and opioid treatments. Now, days and hours before the Mid Term elections, they're "lying" about covering pre-existing conditions only because it is Democrats fighting for the protections and they are discussing in their campaigns.
It's time for people to wake up and some have. I've noticed a number of people on Twitter declaring they were Republicans, but are voting for every Democrat on their ballots with the hashtag #GOPVotingBlue! They are tired of the lies, the hatred, the bigotry, the fearmongering and lack of empathy and compassion they've seen from the White House. I don't know if anyone could have imagined a resident of the Oval House complain that coverage of a "mass murder" at a Jewish synagogue interfered with the momentum of his hate rallies. Really? That was his concern. The media wasn't covering his rallies, but were instead covering the loss of lives by a madman, stoked by fear listening to trump. And let's not forget, the idiot trump supporter who mailed pipe bombs to those who have vocally criticized him--members of Congress, past presidents, celebrities and the media. He didn't even take time to condemn the act.
So, if you're as tired of the lies as I am, it's time to do something about it. Democrats are not for open borders--we want sustainable immigration reform. Democrats are not trying to take anyone's guns--we want common sense gun reform so that people won't be able to walk into a worship service and gun down people with an assault rifle. Democrats want reduced taxes for the middle class and working families and want the wealthy to pay their fair share of taxes. Democrats want all workers to have a living wage and not have to work two and three jobs to survive. Democrats want consumer protections to make sure all can breathe the air, drink the water and eat food produced from soil that has not been contaminated by poisonous chemicals. Democrats want every person who desires a higher education to be able to afford getting one, without mounds of debt. Democrats want Senior Citizens to enjoy their final years without worrying about how they're to eat, keep a roof over their heads or to pay for their healthcare. Democrats want every veteran who has served our country to have the benefits they need.
If you haven't already voted, make sure you exercise your right to do so or this may be the last time. Fascism--taking away the rights as guaranteed every American in our Constitution--is encroaching with trump since the GOP Congress won't do their job. America has no need for a dictator and we won't stand for having one.
The desperation people in hear in trump's voice, invoking fear and hatred is real. That's the only thing he's not lying about, because he knows--a Democratic Congress will hold him accountable for everything he does and he will no longer have a free pass to rape the US Treasury or pass legislation that is vindictive and spiteful. But because he is so fearful and insecure, he will stoke anger and hatred among those who refuse to think for themselves and he hopes enough anger with arise for him to employ martial law--bringing in the military to keep order, while really establishing himself as the lone wolf--instructed by Putin--to destroy our democracy.
Oh, and the lies people hear in churches--are designed to keep those listening under control. It's really a shame that many good people are sitting in churches everywhere, listening to the lies being told by church leadership--just to control them. They will never tell people the truth--God gives us choices and respects our choices. Religious folks simply want to control others and their bodies (except for the men). I will say this one more time--just in case people didn't "hear" it before--
God did not choose trump to lead this country; fearful, hateful, bigoted people chose trump!
If people haven't figured this out by now, God help them. But if they have, do like those who are now voting for Democrats--Vote Blue--because whether some like it or not, Democratic values are more aligned with Scripture than anything the Religious Right are demonstrating. Don't take my word for it--read the bible for yourself (Matthew 25:31-45). Of course, understanding the Bible would mean a person has a relationship with Christ and He is dwelling in their hearts, so full of love there is no room for hate or fear.
We're also told in the bible that Satan is the father of lies, a master of deception, and his only job is to kill, steal, and destroy. We see all the character traits of Satan in trump in all he says and does. His constant lies indicate who his father is, his invention of problems where there are none--deceptive to get media attention; he's killing people by withholding subsidies for healthcare, stealing from tax payers on a daily basis, and trying his best to destroy our democracy. Pay attention, America!
I've already voted and I voted Blue--for the people--all the people! What are you going to do?
