When if ever will the press and dems stand up and rebuff Trumps outrageous distortions of the truth?

It is appalling and should be addressed as it truly is. TRUMP LIES. The only hope of calling this as it is would have to be in a balance of political power and we can vote and hope for that balance in November 2018.
Without it Trump's lies will not be addressed. Without it Trump will never be impeached. Without that much needed balance of political power Trump will continue to go forward with his lunacy and insane demands with no checks and balances. Media will continue to go forward allowing you to think this Orange Clown is perfectly normal and does everything with the well being of America and it's citizens in mind. Even a child knows this is not so. We must continue to enlighten others before it is too late.

Perhaps we watch different programs but what I watch does stand up and rebuff Trump. I will say that everyone was so shocked before the election that literally nobody did call him a liar but now I hear it constantly. I did just hear a pub have the audacity to say that people believe whatever they want. They turn everything on its head. Truth is something that is verifiable and therein lies the problem because it seems that a large proportion of the country don’t seem to understand that. They believe in invisible friends, in conspiracy theories, in so many things without evidence and then they say it’s their “truth.” They equate faith with truth even though the dictionary and even their own holy book defines faith as belief without evidence. I can only hope that people finally stand up and require schools to teach kids what “truth” really is, and what evidence is and what the scientific method is. Teach kids how to think and not what to think. Education can be our savior but there is an all-out assault on it from our liar in chief. The only resolve I see will come in November and I hope enough thinking people that respect truth turn out and turn the tables.

Might be easier to speculate if some examples were given...

trump's presence is only the mechanism. all of this comes back to a discrete minority of people with fringe interests along with a bunch of fiscal conservatives refusing to budge an inch no matter how foul Trump's behavior. We have become a system of politics where only sweeping majorities win now. This is due to both ignorance and apathy. That is what we need to fix. We need for both sides to recognize the other and take money out of politics.

The Orange Sphincter is a compulsive liar. I am sick of hearing his lies called:

untruths
disinformation
misrepresentations
distortions
fabrications

Stop soft-pedaling. Trump constantly lies.

While the Democrats should certainly oppose his more egregious lies, it should not become a full time job that defines the party. The Democrats should focus most of their energy on messages/policies that will help them regain Congress in 2018. Let the press focus on Trumps lies.

I wish I had an answer for you. I really, really do.

And it's not distortions. It's lies. He's a liar. He makes others lie on his behalf. I can only hope he'll fuck up so badly that eventually he'll stop getting away with it.

But every time I think he crossed that line... I'm disappointed.

However, he is just the POTUS. I'd rather replace 90% of the Senate and a few supreme court members.
