Lying politicians pose a significant threat to our nation’s solvency. The Republic depends on truth as a central source of sustenance. The Republic can become weak and collapse under the weight of misrepresentations made by political actors.

So, is President Trump lying about the busloads of illicit voters who invaded NH from MA and affected the election? Or, does he actually believe it’s true?

Which is worse: being a liar or being mega-gullible–being easily duped?
I think President Trump is lying–and never forget:
Lying politicians pose a significant threat to our nation’s solvency and the Republic can become weak and collapse under the weight of misrepresentations made by political actors.
Good riddance Flynn.
