Americans are facing an "epidemic of dishonesty" in Washington that's more dangerous than terrorism or communism.

That's according to former New York City Mayor Michael Bloomberg, who warned in a commencement speech on Saturday at Texas' Rice University that "an endless barrage of lies" and a trend toward "alternate realities" in national politics pose a dire threat to U.S. democracy.

Many Liberals are insane

I don’t need to read the article. He’s absolutely right- the progs, dems, and deep state are desperate and will promulgate and propagate massive levels of deception and untruth to stay in power.

Jut another extreme left-wing liberal claiming everyone else does what they do.

I’m convinced Bloomberg is going to run either as a Democrat or an Independent in 2020.

Yes, because dishonesty is so new to the human race. Epidemic dishonesty thrives on the left.

“this from the big hypocrite “

He’s not “big,” he has to corner the elevator shoe market to make sure when he meets men like President Trump that he doesn’t have to stare at their crotch!

Yeah, like the alternate reality in which Michelle Obama is a fashion idol, while Melania Trump is a dowdy drab. Or in which Bill Clinton is a champion of women’s rights, instead of a two-bit skirt-chaser. Or in which Hillary Clinton lost the election not because she’s as popular as syphilis, but because people were too stupid to know how great she is.

I will have to take that a bit further - Evil Willie is more than a skirt chaser - he has been accused, repeatedly, of violent, forcible rape going all the way back to college.

In a just world he would have been executed long ago. But the left celebrates him.

I think the “epidemic” of the communist left, of which Bloomberg is a part, is the most serious threat facing Americans today. JMO.

Well he ought to know. He lives in his own alternate reality.

Funny how this was never a concern when Obozo was swinging a wrecking ball at every American institution that he could.
