Thought For The Day – Lying Still

December 18, 2025

I find it confusing (i.e., intensely enraging) that journalists and talking heads continue to report on “promises Donald Trump made during his campaign” that he has, for one reason or another not kept. Seriously? Why can’t they just be honest? Trump did not and demonstrably is incapable of promising anything for any reason. He can only lie. That is what he does. Lie. It is his default setting and it has never been, cannot and will not be otherwise. It is his superpower.

The latest example is this headline:

Trump Admits Ballroom is Already Massively Overbudget

The fuck it is. We called bullshit when he first lied about the cost of this wasteful, classless boondoggle of an ego project. The “pricetag” was already ballooning before the original lie even passed his sphincter-like lips, on his lying face under his lying “hair”. Why must the media pretend that the number(s) he pulled out of his ass to begin with had even the most tenuous affiliation with anything within a light year of the truth. It is just not possible, and anyone who has not figured this out by now should immediately be replaced by AI. And I hate AI.

Any day now, El Destructo will be telling us how he plans to lower the final cost by 500 or 10,000 or eleventy million percent because he loves America so much.

Desperate people, stupid people, people who just want a fascist, bigot rapist and repeatedly-convicted criminal to be their voice, are either taken in by his incessant lies or happy to pretend along with Trump that he is not lying. But he can’t not lie.

He croaks (if only) on and on about how he is stopping illegal drugs from entering our country by blowing up tiny little boats he claims without a shred of evidence are carrying drugs and then murdering any witnesses who survive his kill, kill, kill agenda, while simultaneously freeing drug kingpins. Trump has freed 90 drug lords so far.* The most recent of rescue drug lords shepherded 400 tons of cocaine into this country (bragging that he wanted to “shove the drugs right up the gringo’s noses”), got caught, was tried and convicted in an American court of law, and received a 45-year sentence only to have Donny Druglord grant him a full pardon after serving less than one fucking year in jail.  

Trump recently talked about invading Venezuela, saying “Now we’re starting by land, and by land is a lot easier. And that’s gonna start happening. We’re not gonna have people destroying our youth, destroying our families.” He may or may not have added, “That’s my job, and no one is better at it than Trump.”

We do need to be careful not to cut this lying dog any slack just because of the tsunami of dementia pommeling him into oblivion. Thankfully, he seems to be nodding off constantly. Just don’t wake him up. You wouldn’t like him when he’s awake.

As we now always say around here, just let lying dogs sleep.

*As of this writing Trump has still pardoned more drug lords than sex criminals, though he just pardoned another couple of those. Game recognizing game.
