Dan Rather on Trump: 'These are not normal times' (newsers must stand up to Trump's lies alert)
The Hill ^ | January 22, 2017 | Jennifer Calfas

Posted on 01/24/2017 3:32:01 PM PST by Zakeet

Dan Rather warned Americans about the Trump administration in a Facebook post on Sunday, saying these are not "normal times."

The former CBS Evening news anchor targeted President Trump, adviser Kellyanne Conway and press secretary Sean Spicer for comments in the last 24 hours.

"When you have a spokesperson for the president of the United States wrap up a lie in the Orwellian phrase 'alternative facts' ..." Rather wrote.

"When you have a press secretary in his first appearance before the White House reporters threaten, bully, lie, and then walk out of the briefing room without the cajones to answer a single questions ..." he added.

"When you have a President stand before the stars of the fallen CIA agents and boast about the size of his crowds (lies) and how great his authoritarian inaugural speech was ..."

"These are not normal times."

One question for the original ‘Fake but Accurate’ -
“What’s the frequency, Kenneth?”

Typical communist: Believes when he lies he has good justification, but everyone else must meet his infantile expectations of trust.

Senile?

I could go on at length about Dan Rather and dissect what he did at CBS News. That would take to much time so I will just quote my deceased and beloved grandfather:

"That Son of a B---h is is a God D--n Liar."

Through fraud, and abuse of his position, Dan Rather attempted to throw the 2000 election to algore.

THAT was hacking an election.

Oh, and then there was the Pig of the Senate, Kennedy, who sought Soviet assistance to bring down Reagan.

In Normal Times, Dan Rather would tell lies and make every effort to make Republicans look bad.

But these are not Normal Times.

And so, based on the extraordinary times in which we live, Dan Rather will tell lies and make every effort to make Republicans look bad.

...“I believe you can lie about any number of things and still be considered an honest person...

A belief also held by Hillary, Bill Clinton, the MSM, and other notorious Democrats.

Hey Dan, I have some documents I got from a friend of a friend of a friend that prove Trump didn’t tip at a hooters one time. Some of them are in crayon and on stationary from the baby gap, and a few cocktail napkins from the local booby bar, but I swear they are totally legit.

“These are not normal times.”

Agreed, but we’re working hard to get back to normal. Fundamentally changing America back.

I have irrefutable documents that say Dan Rather hired Jamaican hookers to urinate on his head at a hotel in Sydney. But you’ll have to ask him about it.

Dignity? This is the fellow who used to sleep till noon. He’d take a shower, rest fool around doing ???. Before happy hour he’d don his “fatigues”, splash water from the knees down, go for happy hour and pretend he’d been out in the battle area gathering “news”. PHFFFT
