I automatically assume that everything that is stated by any cabinet member in this administration

[LuckyCharms]

is a lie.

I assume that everything that is said is not said to honor reality, but rather, it is said to honor Trump's ego.

I watched Hegseth today.

He acts like a man who knows he is lying. Pam Bondi acts the same way. Like children when they double-down on their lies.

They both get louder. They get aggressive. They get mean.

Because they think they sound more convincing when they act like that, when in reality, they sound weak and less convincing.

It amazes me that adults act like this, let alone adults in important cabinet positions.

Truly, it's amazing.

[kentuck]

1. Perceptive.

It is amazing!

[Ohioboy]

22. I consider it my civic duty to automatically assume they are lying

If they are not lying we can always find out later.

[gab13by13]

2. Times have changed a lot since Krasnov

Congressional Democrats need new tactics. At this stage we won't be saved by Congress or by the courts, we will be saved by the people.

Hey Congressional Democrats join with Indivisible, the ACLU, and others who understand how to fight back. We the people are eager and waiting for guidance.

GOTV only works for fair elections.

[Hotler]

5. They need a tanker ship full of gumption. nt

[SocialDemocrat61]

3. I assume anything stated by a republican

is a lie. Usually, total BS. 😉

[LuckyCharms]

4. Same here...

[erronis]

6. They are all demeaning the US government - either purposefully or through their stupidity.

When/if responsible adults finally get in charge of the government, the trust of the people will be severely eroded - again. A painful process to rebuild it.

[niyad]

7. Absolutely agree.

[barbtries]

8. it's crazy.

truly insane.
maddening.
republicans do not, have not for years, acted in good faith

[Botany]

9. I saw about 30 seconds of Hog's Breath presser this AM. Then I had to turn it off.

His, “I talked to the director of the CIA this morning and he knows things and agrees with
the President but it is all top secret so he can’t talk about it publicly.” Very rough quote.

[ShazzieB]

35. But he WILL talk about it.

He can't keep anything "juicy" to himself, because he has zero judgment and zero self control. If he doesn't state it directly, he'll find a way to telegraph it.

[Just Jerome]

10. When government

is a salable commodity, everyone gets what they can afford. If they even care to partake.

[ThoughtCriminal]

11. The phony indignation is a tell

Something cult members can't recognize, but functioning adults can spot it right away.

[Wounded Bear]

17. Yep! That's at the heart of the attacks on the media...

How dare you call us on our bullshit!?!?

Classic response from a bully .

[vapor2]

41. EXACTLY!

They truly get defensive when called out. I wake up every morning hoping this nightmare will be over

[JMCKUSICK]

12. No question, any contradiction in facts

are strictly beaten down. It really is scary, the worst part is so many Military School graduates have worked under trump and most have violated their school oath as well as their oath to the Constitution.
It really is terribly sad.

[Scrivener7]

13. Yep. Me too.

[BaronChocula]

14. They ARE members of a crime syndicate

Corruption, law skirting, and pleasing Jaba the Putz are their guiding principles. Of course you need to lie to get there.

[gfarber]

15. weak and less convincing

They sound that way to you and me, but to the rest of their MAGA crowd (whose critical thinking skills are suspect) they sound OK.

[DENVERPOPS]

16. Trump's

cabinet and appointees are what happens when he threw open the doors of the mental institutions for the criminally insane........Seriously........

[iluvtennis]

18. Me too. If the lips of Don the Con are moving [or anyone in his administration], they are likely LYING. n/t

[Lokee11]

19. Any time a Republican's lips move

A lie is told and a demon gets its horns!

A sure way to know if a Republican is lying is to see if their lips are moving.

FUCK THEM ALL!!!

✊!

[Texin]

20. They all act as if they're "in service" like the folks who serve(d) the wealthy classes in the UK (think Downtown Abbey)

But tRump's so-called "Cabinet members" are of a level of obsequiousness that boggles the mind. I can't recall any cabinet member prior to this guy that ever acted like they parked their brains, experience, expertise and downright dignity like these lightweight chucklebobs occupying their positions at present. I wouldn't be able to look myself in the mirror, let alone make eye contact with anyone anywhere outside the West Wing.

[NJCher]

21. not much of a requirement

It amazes me that adults act like this, let alone adults in important cabinet positions.

A cabinet position in trump's maladministration can be had with such experience as washing soil off potatoes in the back end of the supermarket.

Really, that's about it.

[ButchMcMuffin]

23. These are not adults

They are just "Another Child That Has Grown Old" Hat tip to John Prine.

[Marcuse]

24. Standard Departmental internal text disclaimer:

[wiggs]

25. CORRECT! I can't tell you how frustrating it is to tune into most MSM outlets and hear extended discussions about

the reporters who asked the questions, or the duration of time that Iran's nuclear program has been set back...wondering who is most incorrect.

THE STARTING ASSUMPTIONS SHOULD BE THAT WHAT COMES OUT OF THE WH IS UNRELIABLE...that they have lied thousands of times in public over the last tens years. The NEWS is that our government is feeding us PROPAGANDA.

The other news that is drowned out with the distractions over who is more incorrect is that the ENTIRE ORIGINAL DECISION to bomb Iran is incredibly complex, highly risky, doesn't address the month/year/ten years after the bombing...and that these questionable decisions are being made by a corrupt, uninterested, limited, ignorant man! WTH! We have a lifetime of context which should color analysis of everything potus does...but it is ignored!

The real news should terrify us and people around the world, and has to do with who is in charge of the world's most powerful nation and military. Come on man!

[Irish_Dem]

26. Yes they know they are lying.

And pretend to get angry when caught out in their lies.

They feel justified because they are at war with Americans and America.

[Gimpyknee]

29. That's a correct assessment.

[a kennedy]

30. Yup, as I have said a bazillion times, here and outhere THEY ALL FAWKING LIE BECAUSE THE

ORANGE PIECE OF SHIT STARTED IT, SO NOW??? THEY ALL LIE!!!!!!! 🤬 🤬 🤬 🤬 🤬 Oh and sorry for yelling.

[Pacifist Patriot]

31. That's a reasonable and safe stance to take.

[kkmarie]

32. One of the most absurd lies was by Pam Bondi

Pam Bondi denies knowing Ice agents wore masks during raids despite video evidence

In response, the attorney general said that it was protesters who were concealing their identities when assailing officers.
“Those people are the ones who have really been wearing the mask and trying to cover their identities,” she said, citing the recent demonstrations in Los Angeles, against which Donald Trump deployed national guard units. “We’ve been finding them. We have been charging them with assault on a federal officer.”

[mwooldri]

33. Used to be "Trust but verify".

But yeah, I wanna verify it before I can trust it.

[4catsmom]

34. they are all children

from Trump on down

[Evolve Dammit]

36. Yeah, but they have "God" on their side, so it's all good.

[Hassler]

37. Kegbreath is textbook angry drunk. Some reporter

Needs only to ask if he kept his promise after being appointed Def Sec to prove it.

[republianmushroom]

38. Yup, you have nailed it.

[RecoveringJournalist]

39. Acting

It's Theater, nothing more and nothing less. They're acting for Trump's base. If they're mean enough to liberals or anyone anti-Trump, they look stronger in the eyes of his base.

[Space Lemon]

40. Everything they say is bullshit and subject to question.

[BidenRocks]

42. They put the Gish in the Gallop!

I need more people to tell them to Shut the Fuck Up!

[pansypoo53219]

43. dim donnie needs CONSTANT fluffing.

[RVN VET71]

44. It is all 2+25 with these people

They wake up in the morning and recite it as their Mantra: "2+2=5, 2+2=5, 2+2=5" before their morning coffee or other drug of choice. They hum it as they dress for the day, as they await their driver to take them to work.

"2+2=5, 2+2=5 . . . . . . " It keeps them focused on the lie that is Trump-Miller.

Hegseth called it the greatest and most hugest successful secret plan ever in the universe's history carried out successfully, because "2+2=5." That Normandy invasion thing was a little thing, a tiny little achievement . What was it? 250,000 combatants and as many support troops from several different nations preparing for months and the Nazis had no idea where the attack was going to take place until the day of the attack itself. Egos, some almost as bloated as Trump's, had to be placated and kept from striking out on their "heroic" own. Big deal!

But Trump managed to crerte a brilliant diversion by telling Iran and the world "two weeks" and then bombing the heck out of areas which may have contained their nuclear enrichment program -- or not; which may have set Iran's atomic bomb program back years -- or not.

Now the Fascists in the House and Senate are in lock step getting ready to pass Big Brother's Bill, and millions of Americans agree with the Bill because 2+2=5.

[Seinan Sensei]

45. In all fairness

I think Tater-Head Tuberville isn’t lying.
I think he actually believes all the shit he says.

[MaineBlueBear]

46. I'm not amazed.

It's a cabinet of psychophants and loyalist miscreants.

How are our democratic leaders so lackluster against them? The optics are still against us. They're playing for their audience and winning.
