He is still working on it, isn't he?I will build a wall and Mexico will pay for it. Is that a lie?I will have the most transparent administration in history.The classic republican comeback when they can’t defend their lies. They all lie. What a great attitude to have. Can’t argue with admitted liars and the people who defend themIs it any better that trump lies to us daily?In a thread on the Stormy Daniels mess, a liberal complained that while Republicans argue that Bill Clinton's private sexual immorality was a valid reason for impeachment, they dismiss Donald Trump's private sexual immorality as no big deal, irrelevant, etc.
Oh no, no. Clinton was not impeached for his private sexual actions but for lying about them under oath (perjury) and trying to obstruct justice when he was sued for sexual harassment by Paula Jones (who, by the way, passed multiple lie detector tests). Here are the executive summaries of the four articles of impeachment that were approved by the House Judiciary Committee in 1998:
1. The president provided perjurious, false, and misleading testimony to the grand jury regarding the Paula Jones case and his relationship with Monica Lewinsky.
2. The president provided perjurious, false, and misleading testimony in the Jones case in his answers to written questions and in his deposition.
3. The president obstructed justice in an effort to delay, impede, cover up, and conceal the existence of evidence related to the Jones case.
4. The president misused and abused his office by making perjurious, false, and misleading statements to Congress.
Articles 1 and 3 were passed by the House and Clinton was impeached, but the Senate failed to remove him.

Washingtonpost.com Special Report: Clinton Accused
This is the huge difference between Trump's affairs and Clinton's affairs: Trump has not lied about them under oath in any civil or criminal deposition or hearing. Nor has any evidence surfaced that Trump has tried to coach witnesses to give false testimony, whereas Bill Clinton summoned Betty Currie to the White House on a Sunday, a very unusual meeting time, to try to get her to testify that she was always there when Monica Lewinsky was there and that Monica and Clinton were never alone.
Clinton's own wheeling-dealing laid groundwork for his legal dilemma
All politicians lie to you like Preachers and Used Cars Salesman, so Trump is no different except he's Republican!
Now please remind me of all the obama lies. Please don’t say fast and furious. You know both sides do shit like that. God knows how many fast and furious deals trump has made already. You won’t care
Obama care will lower premiums by $2000 a year.
If you like your doctor, you can keep him.
All the healthcare debates will be televised on Cspan.
Just a couple major liftoff the top of my head.
