There are consequences for lying, Mr. President,

[Raven]

you haven't experienced them yet, but there are.

Your life is a sequence of episodes where you lied your way out of trouble. Clever lies, clever moves. You never suffered any consequences, never were held accountable.

Just one striking example:You lied your way out of any semblence of real military service and now you are the Commander in Chief who lied his way into a war where young people, honest young people, have died...all because you lied. Pretty consequential, Mr. President.

Now you are expecting that the American people will swallow some line that you will let your people testify before Congress as long as they are not required to tell the truth. You did that because if they testify under oath, and lie, there are consequences. Not acceptable to you.

Everyday, thousands of Americans report for jury duty (someone told me that you slid out of that obligation) and they watch as people are sworn to tell the truth and they know the consequences of lying. These jurors make life and death decisions in some cases based upon witnesses taking oaths to tell the truth. The American people have a gut-level understanding of what this is all about. This is bedrock in this country...telling the truth is the basis of marriages, business, commerce, friendships...I could go on and on.

Mr. President...

you lie, you pay...there are consequences for lying and sooner or later you will pay those consequences...too late for some of our bravest children, but I think and I pray that one day you will pay.

1. He pays no consequences, he's the king

the SCOTUS will prove him to be so when they side in his favor regarding the subpoenas, if and only if the dems take it that far without giving up first.

2. He HAS to pay Raven

he has to.

"too late for some of our bravest children" yes and it breaks my heart in two and fills me with rage at the contempt with which he views any human life but his own.

Recommended. :thumbsup:

3. I Guess This It What Pisses Me Off The Most - He Never Pays The Consequences......

somehow he always seems to wiggle out of the most dire of situations. Then you get that cocky look from him and you get the cocky and arrogant * apologists and RW talking heads gloating in his weaseling.

I can't stand that anymore and just want some justice.

Unfortunately - the Dems only put on the sparring gloves and never ready themselves for the Championship fight.

How's this one gonna play out?

4. He has gotten away with it this far, now he just thinks it is OK

He lied and started a major war, did he pay any consequences? NO!
Everything out of the mouth of this monster has been lies yet he sits on his throne and cast down upon us peasants at his will.

I have yet to see the day this man pays a consequence for his actions.

5. Excellent post, Raven

and I hope and pray that you are right about him eventually having to pay. Let's hope it will be sooner rather than later...so many have already died for his lies, more shouldn't have to. :(
