@Baron-Silas-Greenback Cool, address the point don't make a new one. Trump is dishonest, demonstrably so.
Trump sometimes fudges facts, and is prone to exaggeration.
But as far as honesty goes, he’s nowhere close to the Pinochio’s other politicians are.
He claimed he wasn’t going to campaign or govern like a typical politician. He was being truthful.
He claimed he was going to win the election, when media “experts” swore he was hallucinating and had, quote, “Zero path to 270.” He was right - again; the “experts“ were wrong - again.
Trump claimed he had nothing to do with Rooskie collusion and obstruction, and was proven right, yet again.
Either this man is the luckiest sonuvabitch who ever lived with a golden horseshoe embedded up his arsehole and the longest consecutive winning streak ever; or he’s the smartest super-genius villain who ever lived, having orchestrated the theft of a presidency and doing it so that none of the CIA, FBI, NSA or Interpol — who recorded every single phone call he made, and recorded every phone call of every associate he has — could pin a crime on him and he’s outsmarted ALL of ‘em. He’s Lex Luthor on brain steroids. And of course the New Dorian Gray, deflecting the heaviest abuse any politician of our lifetimes has ever received and strangely looking not a day older, and maybe even younger than when he descended the escalator four years ago.
I get that people who receive all their “information” from fake news sources and propaganda arms of the opposition party would likely think he’s the worst thing ever. That’s how indoctrination works.

@Salacious-Crumb Just to add to that too. Trump was wealthy before getting into politics. I do wonder about folk like Biden/Pelosi etc from what I understand the Clintons were supposed to be broke too after Bill lost power.

I hope she runs next time . She seems to infuriate so many in her party
-
@Salacious-Crumb Your proof of his honesty is that he said he was going to win the election and then did?
-
Trump may be honest, he is of the belief if you say things enough times it becomes true. Think of his Fake news agenda from the start, we all now believe that a lot of the news is fake. I think he has planned to dumb down politics because he knows most of the voters understand that
-
@Nevorian I think the term 'Fake news' started as a claim on the political left to discredit pro-Trump media, he commandeered it to point out that mainstream media are often just as fake. Unfortunately for main stream media they took the bait and doubled down on their anti-Trump bias further proving Trumps point..sometimes to almost comical levels.
I don't think he is honest but he is an absolute master persuader.

When was politics not dumbed down?
Politics by definition is all about convincing enough dumb people to vote, it was how Obama won. -

So Crowder did a live stream this morning with evidence showing that youtube removed Tulsi from search results after she sent that Hillary tweet and for 3 days while she was trending high in the USA. The key part of this was that if he used a vpn she did appear in search results. After the furore of this tweet had finished her results came back to normal.
Probably the clearest evidence yet that Google is actively participating in election meddling. Tulsi already has filed a case against Google for them closing her adsense account precisely at the time when she became the most searched for democrat candidate after one of the debates.
If they are doing it in the US then there is little doubt that they do the same in other countries.

Good shit - the more people can provide clear evidence of Google tampering with results the better. I wonder if they'll respond at all? or say it was down to a "peculiarity" in their algorithm/s.

For this case their normal excuses won't wash.
If it's algorithmic then why only the US and only for a couple days. They also can't go down the route of 'low level employee' as it was the morning of the tweet that google filed for dismissal on the adsense case so clearly they have legal eyes on Tulsi.
It's pretty blatant. Interestingly I thought their bias would only go against anyone on the political right (as they clearly telegraphed in a publicly available employee meeting after Trump's election) but clearly there is some instruction somewhere that is asking a company which runs over 90% of internet searches across the globe to tip the scales unfairly in a democratic election in a first world country.
Crowder has ties to Senator Ted Cruz and congressman Dan Crenshaw who both don't have issues reaching across the aisle, will be very interesting to see where this goes.
