ot. trump such a liar! thank g-d

[scaredyclassic]

its such a relief! it was all just performance art. hes a regular republican billionaire who will hedge and backtrack and probably do nothing except cut the estate tax and maybe go to war somewhere. but jeez. its kind of a relief!!! weird.

kind of wonder whether this will cause a greater portion of america to attempt baldface lying to try to get ahead.

Yes. Let’s all act like Trump. Performance art.

Tomorrow or the next day, soonly anyway, Trump will make very high profile announcements of future cabinet members who are black, latino, muslim, and maybe even homosexual, Maybe he will even appoint the woman formerly known as Bruce Jenner to something. He will appoint one of those redneck Bundys from that ranch stand off ordeal. You will see, most inclusive president ever. He loves all of us.

i am very concerned with following rules and norms and never lying or even exaggerating.

i think this may be dumb.

why not lie in situations it will help you? i cant remember the arguments against just saying anything to get your way…

Louis CK on the subject:

in the 80s i had a sales job at a private trade school that actually was not a total ripoff. i remember being pretty truthful though about whatever i knew of the place. . got fired in a couple months. i also remember the star sales guy. just would literally say and promise anything. obnoxious pushy wormlike dude. just pressured people to sign with utter bs. no one left his office without signing up. i recall thinking, how can he lie like that? and thinking i didnt have it in me. the owner was a total ass who kept a loaded weapon in his desk. i definitely remember that. i bet hed had some dissatisfied customers.

truthful people arent morally better, maybe, we are just wired differently? it would cause me b distress to intentionally lie to someone.

It’s a beautiful day today. Don’t stay behind the blog too long. Otherwise it can get depressing.

Enjoy the nice weather!

The salesman who lies just needs to go to bed with other liars. Treat him the way he treats other people.

Over the years. I’ve come across people who lied about their college degrees (not surprised that hard charging CEOs do it), family backgrounds, etc… the problem with lying is that the liar can’t remember all his lies and people eventually catch on to the inconsistencies.

Trump is rich so his lies are forgiven. But a poor guy who acts like Trump gets given the boot very quickly.

So evangelicals voted for Trump.
I’m really at a loss how Trump represents Christian values.

You’re right scaredy. Abortion is a biggy. He will have to do something.

Looks like the list of Supreme Court justices under consideration don’t share your love of the coasts. They are listed in an NYT article entitled “Ivy League? Out. The Heartland? In.” http://www.nytimes.com/2016/11/15/us/politics/trump-supreme-court-justices.html

That’s ok. I’m would happily let the Supreme Court send social issues back to the states, that is the red states. Let them have what they want. Who are we to decide what’s good for them.

LOL, FIH’s love of the coast is so great that he has been (voluntarily) living in hot, dusty, windy NV for the last several years.

Actions speak louder than words in my book.

BG, i like big metros with lots of people. Santa Barbara or San Luis Obispo would be incredibly boring. It’s like waiting for death.

When I’m in San Diego, I feel like the neighborhood is too quiet with nothing going on. Even downtown SD is boring.

I like the Vegas Strip and Waikiki, Honolulu with people walking around and shops and restaurants open into the night.
