Found this interesting (WAPO)
The biggest presidential lies in recent history?
Some are fairly easy to put on a list.
George H.W. Bush: “Read my lips: no new taxes”
Bill Clinton: “I did not have sexual relations with that woman”
Richard Nixon: “I’m not a crook”
Barack Obama: “If you like your plan, you can keep it”
Many readers might want to add George W. Bush and statements about weapons of mass destruction in Iraq on this list. Bush has blamed faulty intelligence, though critics have charged the administration with cooking the intelligence in the first place.
There’s also Lyndon Johnson and the Gulf of Tonkin incident, and Ronald Reagan and Iran-Contra. Are there specific quotes we should highlight, such as “we did not trade arms for hostages.” In his mea culpa, Reagan said he firmly believed that to be the case when he said it, but conceded it turned out not to be true.
What about John F. Kennedy and the Bay of Pigs? In a letter to Soviet leader Nikita Khrushchev, one day after the CIA-backed invasion of Cuba had started, he said, “I have previously stated, and I repeat now, that the United States intends no military intervention in Cuba.” Does lying to a foreign leader count?
Jimmy Carter famously said he would never lie to the American people. Did he live up to that pledge? Or should his toast to the Shah of Iran on Jan. 1, 1978 as “an island of stability in a turbulent corner of the world” be regarded as a lie or just simply naive? (The toast came after weeks of violent protests in Iran, and Mohammad Reza Shah Palavi was soon forced from power.)

Grab some popcorn!!!! In a story that is getting more surreal by the minute, a post on 4Chan now claims that the infamous "golden showers" scene in the unverified 35-page dossier, allegedly compiled by a British intelligence officer, was a hoax and fabricated by a member of the chatboard as "fanfiction", then sent to Rick Wilson, who proceeded to send it to the CIA, which then put it in their official classified intelligence report on the election.  |

Being the political junkie that I am along with a boring life I have watched all the cabinet hearings....The Exon exec for Sec of State was just as interesting as the Sessions hearing..... Was highly skeptical at first but after extremely tough questioning...This is one sharp individual...not just in the oil industry but his knowledge of world happenings

‘Mad Dog Mattis’
“I come in peace. I didn’t bring artillery. But I’m pleading with you, with tears in my eyes: If you f*ck with me, I’ll kill you all.”
“I’m going to plead with you, do not cross us. Because if you do, the survivors will write about what we do here for 10,000 years.”
I fear for the 3 Senators that voted against his waiver :)
