Trump's "alternative facts" are lies

okay, here's a test for you.
"God doesn't exist."
was my statement fact or alternative fact?
You tell me.

Scientists use mathematical calculations to PROVE the existence of God
SCIENTISTS have ‘confirmed’ the existence of God after proving a mathematician’s theory which suggests that there is a higher power.

Conway introduced the phrase Sunday on MTP when she tried to defend Trump and his press secretary, Sean Spicer's claims that the press had LIED about attendance at Trump's inauguration. Conway was told that "alternative facts" are falsehoods.

the use of "alternative facts" is positively Orwellian. here's a TED primer on Orwellian speech.

Looks like a big crowd from that angle. So many ways to discredit the actual numbers cited by Trump/supporters... transit tickets, etc.
Anyway, Trump's main focus shouldn't be arguing over this. Too many other things in govt should be taking priority.


*********************
Another sign attendance for Trump's inauguration could be lower: Metro ridership. Per WMATA, the Washington area transit authority, as of 11 am, 193,000 trips had been taken on the city's subway system. At the same hour in 2009, that number was 513,000, according to WMATA. The same time for the second Obama inauguration saw 317,000 riders, and President George W. Bush's second inauguration saw 197,000 riders by 11 am.
The Joint Congressional Committee for Inaugural Ceremonies distributed about 250,000 tickets for Trump's inauguration, per spokeswoman Laura Condeluci, including 1,600 on the platform and another 1,000 on the bleachers above. That number is on par with the distributed tickets for previous ceremonies. Most onlookers are beyond the ticketed point and watch the proceedings from the National Mall.

Possibly. Since is a disgusting POS, I am sure at some point I accused him of lying.
Yeah, like about keeping your doctor? That was bad, even though it was between your doctor and your insurance company as to whether or not the doctor stayed in their network...not the ACA...you still called it a lie.

Trump lies and you call it a "promise not kept".....

Might be time for media to start ignoring these lying advisers for Trump spreading their alternative facts Bullshit
Spicer doubles down on "alternative facts" aka alternative reality aka lies.

“I believe that we have to be honest with the American people, but I think sometimes we can disagree with the facts
,” Spicer told reporters Monday in the first press briefing under President Donald Trump.

I called it a lie because as they wrote the plan - and he even admitted as such that OF COURSE there would be some plans that were cancelled because they could not meet the new standards. Yet did they say, well, you will lose your plan if you have one of those shitty min-med plans? No, they only admitted as such afterwards.

The difference two is that that lie or intentional misrepresentation, affected how people supported the bill. Trump's "lie" or broken promise, affects nothing. People already voted for him anyway, and the same losers who whined about his taxes are still whining about his taxes and no one else cares but them.

Rebuild With Biden!

So judging by that comment, it evidently means they will ignore facts if it doesn't fit their own narrative.
I read a great piece on why this is so very dangerous.

Could Trump’s ‘alternative facts’ put lives at risk?

‘It has the gravest consequences,’ said Rep. Adam Schiff of the Trump team’s rocky relationship with the truth.

“Alternative facts” could kill, warn national security and other government veterans, and eventually could unravel the fabric of democracy and America’s standing in the world.

This weekend, it was crowd size. By next week, it could be how many troops were killed, and who was responsible for the attack. Or how successful the American response was. Or whether there is an actual threat to homeland security that requires government action. Or even a dispute with a foreign government over a sensitive detail in negotiations.
