No one in the Trump administration has any credibility left
By Paul Waldman Opinion writer January 8 at 2:56 PM
Something curious is happening right now: The president of the United States will give a prime-time address on an urgent political controversy, and pretty much everyone acknowledges that in that address he is going to lie to the American people.
The TV networks, which often have aired such speeches when the president asks, are struggling to figure out how to handle it; they seem to have decided that allowing a Democratic response, plus some post-hoc fact-checking, will fulfill their journalistic responsibilities.
But there’s something else going on here, too. This administration is so morally and intellectually degraded that there is not a single major figure within it who retains credibility with the press or the public. In the midst of a political crisis, there is no administration official whose word we can take on anything.
For context, I want to look back on a relevant episode from the recent past. In 2002 and 2003, George W. Bush’s administration was waging one of the great propaganda efforts in U.S. history to convince the public that if we didn’t invade Iraq, Saddam Hussein would soon attack us with his fearsome arsenal of weapons of mass destruction. As Vice President Richard B. Cheney put it in a speech, “Simply stated, there is no doubt that Saddam Hussein now has weapons of mass destruction; there is no doubt that he is amassing them to use against our friends, against our allies, and against us.”

The Compost is projecting. Again.
The lying Wash Post dares talk about credibility? You’d think that would be the one topic they’d avoid like the plague
Holy S^^T!
“...and pretty much everyone acknowledges that in that address he is going to lie to the American people.”
Actually CNN and their ilk parroted the words of radical leftists Pelosi and Schumer who said preemptively his speech is all lies.

>> “Forgot the ‘Barf’ warning.” <<
Everyone enjoys a nice warm shower now and then, now you have a reason!
I see nobody wrote this.
Just as well. I hope nobody reads it. I won’t.
Breaking all DC Metro grocery stores sold out of Depends.
“Pretty much everyone” thinks he’s going to lie.
What’s is that the swamp rats at WaPo might actually believe that.
Paul Waldman has a very small universe of everybodies.
MSM Headline: Trump lost credibility decades after the media, why this is a bad thing.
Okay, I just saw the author.
Still won’t read it.

Read my post #32. :-)
I’m reading the posts and something just occurred to me.
Kellyann was having a “dialogue” with Acosta and he kept repeating “Will the President tell the truth tonight?”
I see, it’s something that they got together and decided would be especially annoying if everyone said the SAME THING.
These people are pathetic.
[[[and pretty much everyone acknowledges that in that address he is going to lie to the American people. ]]]
LOL! No counter argument, no logic, no acknowledgment of facts, no solutions. Just hyperbole and name calling.
The LieStream Media has dubbed President Trump the Liar-in-Chief. They have said that he lies continuously. But, does anyone recall any substantiation of what they are referring to? I have not heard of one instance where Trump has lied nor any reason why it is considered a lie. You could say, that if you say he has lied often enough it is considered the truth.
oh yes, the current Leftard main talking point has been circulated widely.... they are ALL singing from the same cue card today.

*****************************************
Their official talking points are composed and promulgated from their High Command....the DNC Politburo.
They count as “lies” anything that goes against Leftard propaganda, anything that is a matter of dispute, and any statement that is a matter of opinion or a policy recommendation they don’t like.
Waldman’s whole argument hinges on whether Mueller and his magic bloodhounds who falsely went after Hatfill over the post 9/11 anthraxattcks... finally got something right when he eventually blamed the anthrax attacks on a guy who was dead and couldn’t defend himself instead of on the Iraqi-American scientist Ali A Timimi who was a few doors down from the Russian Ken Alibek at Ft Detrich… and who is currently in prison for 200 and some odd years [!!] merely for recruiting a few jihadis in Virginia to travel to Afghanistan.
Because if Mueller was WRONG and it was Ali A Timimi, the guy who mailed threat letters to congress warning them not to go after Iraq... then everything the Democratic party has been slinging since 2003 is crap.
