numerous times, re: russian involvement-what dt said what was in the report v. what really was revealed. I hope that quote goes around the world.

"...blatantly, overtly, bluntly, simply lied."

Trump lies about intelligence report on Russia easily spotted

Rachel Maddow points out that because Americans can read the declassified version of the intelligence report on Russia, we can see that Donald Trump is lying about what the report says about the effect on the election and the hacking of Republican targets.

1. Pretty much every time he opens his mouth.

[TDale313]

3. Yep.

2. Cool...true of course..but bet no one

Who doesn't believe that already was watching. We have got to get to the audience who only watches Fox and listens to Rush. Any ideas on how to do that?

[Amaryllis]

4. I dont think you can get them. They think the media we listen to is just as off base as we think Fox

and the alt right stuff is. They live in parallel universes that never intersect with the ones we live in. I know someone who listens to Fox and every time i think Trump has done something so outrageous that she can't possibly think it's okay, Fox has way to spin or distort it so it's reasonable, if not positive.

6. This is the truth. I know I sure can't fathom that world! n/t

11. I can't remember where I read it or heard it, but FOX viewers are a cult. Noone can change

their viewing habits and beliefs.

[putitinD]

13. Fox suposedly uses subliminal messaging in their programming.

[True_Blue]

16. They suffer from cognitive dissonance

They believe the fake news is real and the real news is fake. The people that listen RW radio & watch Faux news daily are so brainwashed with RW talking points that they believed Trump was telling it like it is.

18. Hopefully with Greta and Kelly leaving - that will draw some of the nuts.

Read that Kelly 2nd most popular and Greta was 5th on Fox News. I was totally surprised that MSNBC has higher ratings than CNN. Think CNN superior IMHO . I think CNN made a huge mistake not successfully replacing Larry King. Think it would be a great gig for Jon Stewart.

10. I fill my facebook with what the sheep need to know

They may block me, but at least I put it out there and it is available information.

[Laura PourMeADrink]

19. Couldn't help but respond to a co-worker wingnut facebook post - which

I usually don't. All it was was a pic of Obama saying "Like and pass on if you think he was a total failure at everything he did." So I listed all the main accomplishments. Never heard back LOL

[Buns_of_Fire]

5. I think the takeaway from this would be the actual use of the L-word.

Finally.

Not "misspoke". Not "misled'. Not "shaded the truth". LIED.

Them's fightin' words, missy.

[Laura PourMeADrink]

20. Someone on CNN said he was acting like a FOOL. Think door is now open. nt

[Stellar]

7. Is that's suppose to be news? He has never stopped lying and that will be news when he does stop.

[iluvtennis]

8. Traitor Trump is a Pathological liar as both Ted Cruz and Mitt Romney said nt

[CaptainTruth]

9. He lied to us since... 2014? 2013?

Sadly, it's hardly news.

I just wish his damn clueless supporters would wake up & smell the lies ...

[briv1016]

12. Newsflash, a politician lied.

[world wide wally]

14. He even lies to himself in his thoughts.

He can't help it.
It's not just one lie… like most politicians can be held accountable for. He lies about EVERYTHING ALL THE TIME.
It is a way of life for Trump.

[ecstatic]

15. Rachel and others (like Joy Reid) who are speaking the truth right now are heroes!

We're in very uncertain times. They're potentially putting their lives on the line to report on him.

[Grammy23]

17. Trump ALWAYS seeks revenge for even the slightest perceived criticism.

So when I heard Rachel use the word "lied"tonight and continued to say that he lied (numerous times) I looked up at the TV in utter disbelief. It was almost as though she is daring him to respond. Taunting him into a tweet. He has called journalists out by name so perhaps she was baiting her trap to illicit a response? Or maybe she is like the rest of us and is just tired of the lies and decided to call him what he is....a liar.

I hope he DOES respond because I have a feeling she is a pretty tough bird and isn't afraid of that SOB. Let the games begin. If he is hammered enough it just might make his head explode in rage. Hope someone catches it on video.
