Well, there is not much that can be done with a person that actually believes Donald Trump is going to make Mexico pay to build a giant wall on our border. This is such an outrageously stupid claim that I find it hard to accept that anybody...even the raving lunatics that have been showing up in videos of Trump rallies...actually believe it. The only good thing I can say about that is that in reality there is really only a small percentage of the population that would actually fall for that and most of them appear to live in the South and middle of the country.

The thing about Trump's lies are they are so over the top and ridiculous that they should be, in a world where sanity reigned, hilarious. I mean we should be rolling in the aisles at the crap that guy spews. He is so openly lying that when he gets called out on a lie he just tells an even bigger dumber lie.

"That wall just got ten feet higher!"

It's hard to say if he is just pandering or actually for his own amusement testing how stupid his followers and the pundits are. I mean he has that dumb smirk or that phony pout on his face and is openly yanking our chains and it is like he wants to see if they will cheer his next moronic statement and who in the media he can make explode when he says it. He's got CNN wrapped around his tiny little fingers as they are so far up his ass they can feel his molars.

I did laugh while I threw empty liquor bottles around the house when CNN began praising Marco Rubio when he began launching Trump-like attacks on Trump...which may have been the dumbest turn any campaign has taken in the history of politics (well, it at least competes with the McCain campaign choosing Sarah Palin as a running mate)...but CNN acted like "Wow, look at this Rubio guy! He is a force to be reckoned with!" and they could not help but play every idiotic thing he said about Trump over and over and over again. Which pretty much amounted to telling us Donald is a conman with a small penis. Truly a high point in American politics. Even his followers know he is a conman and when you have Trump tower to stand behind and you can buy yourself a trophy wife your little wee-wee is hardly a consideration.

It seems pretty obvious that the Hillary campaign has noticed this "brazen bullshit" strategy has worked wonders for Trump and so they have adopted it. She gets caught in a lie and just tells a bigger lie as if nobody is going to notice. It appears she has hired a special consultant to help her achieve this goal...

Now, the odd thing is I can understand the Trump bullshit as that at least has a purpose...mainly to make angry wackos even angrier and to be so ridiculous that it automatically gets all kinds of media attention. Donald has worked this pretty much perfectly as he keeps meeting both goals over and over again.

The Hillary bullshit on the other hand...well...this I just don't get. The woman already has a reputation as one of the most duplicitous politicians in the last 40 years and so I guess she has decided to just embrace this fact.

The thing is though Hillary telling more lies to cope with other lies does not work the way it works for Donald. Somehow I think when he tells bigger dumber lies people take that as he is sticking it to somebody...be that Mexicans, Muslims, Republicans, or media types. When Hillary lies she just looks like Jon Lovitz. It comes across as inept and ridiculous and it does not get her headlines nor does it cause people to chant USA, USA, USA! Much of the media...like CNN...actually act as if they did not hear what she just said...pretty much in the same way they seem not to notice the empty bottles of scotch sailing past my television when they do this.

Where Donald's lies are outrageous and so dumb he is pretty much daring you to call him out so he can tell an even bigger lie...Hillary's lies are pathetic, meant to make you gloss over something idiotic or horrible she actually did. Or she lies to try to take credit for something decent somebody else did.

The Donald's lies are lies that his "voters" actually want to hear. You know like if you sleep with a beautiful woman and she says you were the best lover she ever had...you don't give a shit if that's true, that is what you want to hear her say and you know she knows it. They love when Donald shouts stuff at them about Mexicans building walls and Muslims being banned from the country. They don't care if it is true, it just makes them really hot to hear it.

Hillary's lies just make people dislike her even more and they are just ignorant. She smashes a priceless vase on the floor right in front of you. You ask her why she just smashed the vase...she says "What vase? I never smashed a vase. I have never even seen a vase. I don't know what a vase is. What is a vase? By the way I freed the slaves, ended segregation, and I was the first politician on the planet to take a stand on gay rights and right after I did that I told Wall Street to cut it out and I never wanted to give them any bail out money. Oh, and that Bernie Sanders guy keeps slandering me. Did you know my husband was the first black president which makes us the first interracial first couple?"
