It seems so obvious, and it’s infuriating that here in the US they don’t do that.

@thomholwerda

I can’t wait until they start describing him accurately: “the convicted felon and rapist Donald Trump, who constantly lies and babbles…”

@thomholwerda Every news agency should report it like this. Instead, they not only reiterate what he says as if it's fact, they often end up sane-washing his rambling incoherent bs.

If a toddler was throwing a temper tantrum their headline would be "Toddler seeks amendments in bed time talks".

@thomholwerda it’s a very sensible comment because we know that he lies continuously and the television station have a basic obligation to the viewers not to accord to him a level of veracity that he simply lacks.

In practice, of course, it also spares them the bother of having to fact check absolutely everything he says.
Which would take forever as he is about as mendacious as they come.

@thomholwerda

To give this some context, the Washington Post found that Obama's false or misleading claims *across 2 terms (8 years)* was 11. Yes that's 11, as in an average of 5.5 per term as President.

If Trump's mouth is open ... he's lying.

@thomholwerda I vepueve it was Adam Neely, a bassist, who I heard say "Repetition Legitimizes". This holds true is much more than musical context.

The more we say it, the more people will internalize it and really understand it.

@thomholwerda

Moreover, it is absolutely true. If you said that everything that comes out of the papaya paedophile's mouth is a lie, you would be right 99% of the time!

@thomholwerda "President Trump said something today, but given that he lies and goes back on his word so often, there's really no point telling you what it is that he said."

Next story.

@thomholwerda I'm so tired of media quoting Trump religiously as if what he says is inherently important.

This little twist on the habit cheers me up 😃
