To: SoothingDave

That article looks a bit odd, I agree. But I am serious, I am hearing these kinds of things from Catholics, evangelicals etc. alike.

Trump’s comments are audacious
But at least he entertains us
A carney
Spouting blarney
Of which a lot is pretty mendacious

Bill or Hill: Which one is more mendacious?
Both are liars, prodigious, bodacious
Each can parse and deflect
But I’ve come to suspect
She’s fallacious while he is fellatious

“The visionary lies to himself, the liar only to others.” — Friedrich Nietzsche

Shivering and sighing.
And he vows his passion is,
Infinite, undying.

One of you is lying.”

I think it demonstrates insecurity about faith and how his faith or lack thereof will be perceived. he has done the same thing in talking about his book, and how that wasn’t his MOST fave book, but rather THE BIBLE was his fave book, etc. Listening to that, you just know he is pandering with that, from the faith angle.

We can depend on a few: DRUDGE, FR, FP and a few others. The gap is widening between truth tellers and propaganda diktats.

Yeah verily. When your standard for courage is a guy putting on makeup and a dress, pretending to be a gal, all is lost.

Mendacity is as mendacity does. I have not caught Trump lying. Saying contradictory things at different times, maybe, but not lying, yet.

Nevertheless:
