[Where is the eternal debate going on politicians lying?  It seems that our leftwing readers gleefully highlight every Trump pronouncement that is in any, even minute, way flawed as an intended lie.  But they totally ignore the daily pronouncements of Democrats as members of the greatest perennial lying machine in the country. gjr]

    Awwww…..the Potato haz a sad!

    Let’s be clear: this wasn’t just a minor slip-up or a garden-variety editing error. CBS’s “60 Minutes” was caught red-handed, slicing and dicing footage to protect Kamala from her own disastrous performance. Even with the heavy editing, the interview was a trainwreck — so much so that it couldn’t hide her obvious incompetence.

    Brian Stelter whining…..such sweet, sweet music!

    Here’s a proposition for all of you sports: Now that Paramount has bought off Trump for $16 million to settle the “60 Minutes” case, how long will it take the FCC to approve the merger of Paramount with Skydance Media? I have the over/under at nine months: -120 if you bet the over, +110 if you bet the under.

    Do you really think they wanted to go to trial with that? Discovery alone would have… well, “discovered” probably a lot of stuff that the good folks at 60 Minutes and CBS would rather you not notice.
    Looking at the clips that were deceptively edited vs the raw footage clearly showed they were trying to keep Kamala from looking like the complete idiot that she is.
    Fun fact:
    Trump does not receive nor will he profit one dime from this settlement. Nor will anyone at the FCC.
    Now Boardman has a sad because he was told by the liars he follows that this was a “payoff” to Trump personally.
    Looking forward to what proof Boardman has that the merger would only be approved if Paramount paid out the 16 mil. Also – what would a trial and an appeal cost them? Sometimes you shrug and pay.
    As Schumer would advise – “just move forward!”

    From Fox news!
    “By a 21-point margin, voters questioned in the most recent Fox News national poll opposed the federal budget legislation (38% favored vs. 59% opposed), which passed by the House of Representatives by just one vote last month.
    The bill was also underwater in national surveys conducted this month by the Washington Post (minus 19 points), Pew Research (minus 20 points) and Quinnipiac University (minus 26 points).”

    Direct quotes from Trump . What a liar!
    MARCH 2023: “There’s a very easy negotiation to take place. But I don’t want to tell you what it is because then I can’t use that negotiation; it’ll never work,” Trump told Fox News Channel host Sean Hannity, claiming that he could “solve” the war “in 24 hours” if he were back in the White House.
    “But it’s a very easy negotiation to take place. I will have it solved within one day, a peace between them,” Trump said of the war, which at that point had been ongoing for more than a year since Russia’s full-scale invasion of Ukraine in February 2022.
    MAY 2023: “They’re dying, Russians and Ukrainians. I want them to stop dying. And I’ll have that done — I’ll have that done in 24 hours,” Trump said during a town hall on CNN.

    from the Wall Street Journal:
    “Repeat and repeat again: Republicans are not cutting spending on Medicaid or food stamps; the House and Senate bills merely slow those programs’ (unsustainable) rate of growth. Republicans accomplish this by implementing modest work requirements for able-bodied adults, by pushing back on a scheme states use to inflate federal Medicaid spending, and by asking states to be more diligent in identifying fraud. Our recent breakdown of the CBO forecast of who would “lose” Medicaid by 2034 shows a population of able-bodied adults who aren’t complying with the work requirement, illegal migrants, and people who qualify for other subsidized coverage.”
