According to politifact Trump lies 70 percent of the time compared to 24 percent for Obama. That's what you'd call a significant difference.
I think their analysis is typically sound, but Politifact certainly has some selection bias.
What’s the threshold for lying?
70 and 24% sound a little high to me.

Anybody know why they would have to take a charge due to the Trump tax cuts?
They actually don’t. Only half the story is being reported. Do a little research and you’ll see the real reason.

That is all we need to hear to know who is who.
Why does Trump hate industries that are actually growing?
Oh yea - he's a giant turd.

Do you have any clue why they are “growing?”

No kidding. Who made that decision?
“You know what would be a great idea? Let’s drag a Kennedy out to give the rebuttal. “
“Great idea. That will make us look in touch with the rest of the nation.”
Trump won the white MALE vote in 2016, so it's not all that stupid to trot out a white male to give that rebuttal...shows those white men that the left still values white males. Trump is doing enough on his own to send people of color who voted for him back to the Democrats.
Obama won 91% PLUS of the blacks. So what's your point?
You're irrelevant, black voters would know you as less than a speck of dust---always complaining because you didn't get "your" way.
Take a lesson from LL and be fair.
You sound like an elementary kid who got his recess taken away due to bad weather, but you're blaming the teacher. Grow up, please.

So, repubs, feel like you are on a sinking ship?
Darrell Issa is retiring, Trey Gowdy retiring, Freylinghuysen retiring, Paul Ryan himself hasn't said he is running again, and 31 other Repubs are walking away from the sh$thole Trump has created. You are left. Holding the bag.
Clearly repubs in the house have no interest in being in the minority, so they are running away. Having non-incumbents running will give the Dems a much greater chance of winning the house.

Non-Hispanic whites will be the minority no later than 2050....
Non-Hispanic whites “only” make up 60% of the population.
40 % then are “minorities”.
The long game is with this demographic.....Hispanics and African Americans.
It is what it is.
Yesterday’s Irish and German are today’s Hispanic and African American.

As long as they continue to work jobs keeping your groceries cheap, your house clean, and construction projects cheap. no one minds except you and your xenophobic friends.
Ahhhh, you assume that I'm a WASP, when in reality I'm a first generation Latino. That argument doesn't fly. Try again.
There is no guarantee that the minorities will vote with Democrats. It is more likely that "minorities" in the future will vote their pocket books. I see the electorate close to 50/50 for the foreseeable future. That is the way it should be and the most probably outcome.

Sure, both parties sit for the typical partisan and self-grandizing stuff. It's a tradition. But nothing like what we saw last night. And I've watched many, many SOTUs over the decades. Here's a partial list of things that weren't important enough for dems to stand:
Job growth
Economic growth
Tax cuts
Defeating ISIS
Anthem & Flag
Healthcare choice
Veterans benefits
Gov. accountability
Unifying America
America dream.
In God we trust
Life saving medicine
Curbing crime
Black employment
War on Drugs
Methinks YOU don't watch many SOTUs.
Don't forget the Korean bro with the crutches
The hits keep coming. More evidence of obstruction of justice. Even poor Hope Hicks won't be able to claim innocence. Is there anyone close to Trump that won't be charged with crimes?!?
Best tweet today: "Inspector Clouseau could prove obstruction of justice."
And, Strzok, the president of the 'secret society', also helped write the Clinton memo in October of '16. The memo that contributed to Clinton's defeat. So what is it Trumpers? Strzok 'conspiring' against Trump or Clinton? Or both?! Double agent??? Inquiring minds want to know.
Things that are proved without a shadow of a doubt.
Trump is a racist a$$.
Trump is an idiot for punting on green energy and digging for coal and oil in wildlife refuges.
Trump is a pedophile and has 20 women accusing him of sexual assault.
Trump is isolating America from the world's burgeoning global economy.
Trump's tax cuts fail to account for the big picture and will cause great hard to the economy.
Trump has an evangelical stooge running the Dept of Education.
Trump repealed the Clean Air Act.
Trump is a birther.
Basically y'all are dumb and mean. This is why you won't get laid.
If Rigged for Hillary is Hispanic that means he's more looney tunes than we thought.

Let's review how hard it was for you dems to show some class at the SOTU last night. All the Democrats had to do was dress nice, be pleasant, applaud, and go home. Show a little respect for the president & for the position they hold- and they could not even do that. Disgraceful.

0/10
tRump has been ZERO class since he started his run for office. . . . . Sorry, tRumpkins. Your Dear Leader get treated the same way he treats others. . . . Only dictators like Hitler demanded fealty and got it from sheep without minds of their own. People with brains resisted. And we know how Hitler ended up.

Respect is earned, it isn't granted. If Trump knew anything about management, he would know this.
What exactly has Trump done to earn the respect of Democrats? Or for that matter, most Americans. He doesn't treat anybody with respect. He bullies his way around Washington. He cowardly writes insulting tweets berating anyone he disagrees with. He comes up with silly names like Crooked Hillary, Lyin Ted. I seriously doubt if Trump will ever be respected by Democrats or most Americans.
