I still don't understand what's bad about writing on a printed weather map with a sharpy?

"Oh, his convictions "are being thrown out"? Really? Which ones?"
All of them pretty mush as soon as they hit a sane appeals court.

And here's a list of the proven lies he's told in just the last 3 months: https://www.cnn.com/politics/fact-check-trump-false-claims-debunked

But you'll make excuses and hand-wave them all away because you LOVE being lied to."
Yeah, this is more of the same as the other lists. They pull from different sources and then claim it isn't true despite it being reported on other sites as fact checked and true. Also when Trump exaggerates they claim it's a lie. It's just bickering at this point.

On September 1, 2019, Trump said that Hurricane Dorian was going to hit Alabama. The national weather service had not included Alabama in any of their forecasts. They came out with a correction press release to make sure that everyone knew Alabama was not in the projected path.

A week later, Trump has a press conference where he whips out that map with a circle that has very clearly been drawn by hand to now include Alabama. He says that "yeah, the map clearly shows that Alabama is in the path!"

And you don't see a problem with that? You don't see a problem with a President being wrong, then insisting he's right and like a child draw a circle by hand to you don't look wrong.

You don't see a problem with a lie like that?

You sound like a petulant child. You would have been all kinds of mad if the winds had changed, which they are likely to do, and Alabama had been hit.

so, it's okay to be wrong. I know in MAGA land, being wrong is a sign of weakness and you can never appear to be weak.

But it's okay to be wrong. It really is.

If he'd said Alabama then later on had a press release to correct himself and refer everyone to the official forecasting, or in a follow up conference made a point of referring everyone to the official forecasting to get the most recent/up to date information. The whole thing would have been lost in the tide of history.

But he didn't do that.

Instead, like a toddler, he busted out a map and a marker so he could look right in the most ridiculous way possible. Not even a bigger, wider circle, but a little half a hemisphere circle that just covered Alabama.

It is often mind-boggling to me that y'all can't acknowledge his obvious lies. I don't mean the ones like "I've got 200 countries lined up to make deals over the tariffs right now" when there's only a 193 countries in the world and he put tariffs on uninhabited islands. I mean the ones like the map. Big obvious stupid lies that he's telling just so he can look like he was right but in the stupidest way possible that show he knows he was wrong but doesn't want to admit it.

Because here you are defending him with, "what if the winds had shifted, then what?!?"

If you wonder why we say you're in a cult? It's stuff like that. This is why we say you're in a cult.
