The Clinton Machine comes to mind. 1 Reply Robert, Somewhere in the USA 8/10/18 And have an exceptionally good memory... 1 Reply jim k, Austin 8/10/18 Hillary is an exceptionally good Liar. Reply E Archer, NYC jim k, Austin 8/13/18 Hillary is a prolific liar, not an exceptionally good liar (like Bill). When the liar starts believing her own lies, the delusion becomes only too apparent to everyone else. Putting on an act is one thing, believing it is another. 2 Reply Mike, Norwalk 8/10/18 On the topic with a slightly different twist, an early progressive stated it this way: “If you tell a big enough lie and tell it frequently enough, it will be believed.” (Adolf Hitler) In situations such as this - guns, money with a “liberal” dose of threat, duress and mayhem exceed the state of exceptionalism.

The professional liars (journalists and politicians) have started to lose their monopolistic hold on 'news' and the traditional facade of equanimity and professionalism has fallen to reveal the petty and bigoted opinions now being treated as 'news.' Good liars are becoming harder and harder to find. ;-) SaveOk2 SaveOk2 View CommentsClick to view or comment. Share on Facebook Tweet Email Print This Jerome K.
