I know people don't care much for facts these days but for what it's worth...
CLEVELAND — In accepting his party’s nomination for president, Donald Trump said “here, at our convention, there will be no lies.” But we found plenty of instances where Trump twisted facts or made false claims.
Trump said after Clinton’s four years as secretary of state, “Iran is on the path to nuclear weapons.” But Iran was already on a path to acquiring nuclear weapons. At issue is whether the nuclear deal will prevent Iran, as intended, from becoming a nuclear power.
He also blamed Clinton for the resignation of Egyptian President Hosni Mubarak. But Clinton and former Defense Secretary Robert Gates both urged President Obama not to be quick to abandon support for Mubarak.
Trump claimed Clinton “plans a massive … tax increase,” but tax experts say 95 percent of taxpayers would see “little or no change” in their taxes under Clinton’s plan.
He correctly noted a 17 percent increase in homicides in the 50 largest cities from 2014 to 2015, but called it a reversal after a decades-long decline in crime. Experts say that’s not enough data to draw conclusions about a trend.
Trump claimed Clinton “illegally” stored emails on her private server while secretary of state, and deleted 33,000 to cover-up “her crime.” But the FBI cleared Clinton of criminal wrongdoing, and found no evidence of a cover-up.
Trump said that “there’s no way to screen” Syrian refugees to determine “who they are or where they come from.” But all refugees admitted to the U.S. go through an extensive vetting process that takes 18 to 24 months to complete.
He said the “trade deficit in goods … is $800 billion last year alone.” It was nearly that, but it discounts the services the U.S. exports. The total trade deficit for goods and services is just over $500 billion.
Reince Priebus, chairman of the Republican National Committee, also spoke, and he erroneously claimed that the Iran nuclear deal “lined the pockets of the world’s number one state sponsor of terrorism with your money.” The assets that were unfrozen by the deal weren’t held by the U.S. government.
That’s not all: Trump made other factual errors and omissions on NAFTA, Libya, household income, government regulation and the Affordable Care Act.Comment

Sesh, your problem with Trump isn't the politics of American Government. All of the American politicians are lying thieving scumbags. They are born and bred to be the lying cheats they are. Your problem with Trump is, he did to Scotland what we as Americans, THE KINGS OF THE MOTHERFUCKING WORLD, do when we want something. We take it. He wanted some land in Scotland, and he took it! There was nothing you guys could, or would, do about it. You're mad at Trump because as one American, he bullied your entire Country, and you guys bitched up. Don't be mad at him because you guys are pussies. Don't be mad at him because your fellow Countrymen did nothing but grab their skirts and curtsy for him. Direct your anger where it belongs, back at your own Country. Will you do that? NO! You'll continue to whine and snivel that we are the badasses, like every other Country on this earth does, while doing nothing about it. You wonder why all these attacks by Isis are occurring in weak shitholes now? Because they know better than to fuck with the KINGS OF THE MOTHERFUCKING WORLD!
Trump will be President next time he comes over to visit his land he took from you guys. Make sure your skirt is cleaned and pressed. We don't want to see you looking all sloppy as you curtsy before THE KING OF THE KINGS OF THE MOTHERFUCKING WORLD!Comment

Carter made us look like pussies by not doing enough to get our people back. That's fine if you're a pacifist liberal but it's not fine with me. In the end the hostages survived but now every piss ant country in the world wants to try us. Too bad the Iranians didn't back down and give Ronnie Raygun an excuse to kick their camel loving asses.Last edited by cadaverdog; 07-22-2016, 10:10 AM.Beware of DogComment

Yours, and every other "Country" on earth, has what we allow you to have. The moment yours, or any other, decides to get a little full of themselves, we will bitch slap you back to the reality that you are much better off not antagonizing THE KINGS OF THE MOTHERFUCKING WORLD!
We all know that guy. The guy who's ass you'd just love to kick. But you know better. The fantasy is much greater than the reality.
Yes, laying in your little corner of the earth, in the fetal position and sucking your thumb, is much better than the reality of fucking with THE KINGS OF THE MOTHERFUCKING WORLD!Comment
