LAUER DID FACT-CHECK TRUMP

It only happened once, according to this transcript.
QUESTION: I like what you say about supporting veterans and how they’re important. But I haven’t heard what the actual plans are to continue that support beyond words. How do you translate those words to action after you take office?
TRUMP: Well, I love that question, because I’ve been very close to the vets. You see the relationship I have with the vets just by looking at the polls. In fact, today a poll came out. And my relationship has been very good.
I have a very, very powerful plan that’s on my website that you possibly saw. One of the big problems is the wait time. Vets are waiting six days, seven days, eight days. And by the way, Hillary Clinton six months ago said the vets are being treated essentially just fine, there’s no real problem, it’s over-exaggerated. She did say that.
LAUER: No, no, she went on after that and laid out a litany of problems within the V.A.

PM Carpenter, "positively adores" Obama despite his hypocrisy, that of a charlatan.
OTOH, he considers Trump vile beyond minimal respect. He has made that clear with practically every post since Trump won the GOP nomination.

I myself, being somewhat more objective in a bipartisan way, concede that W Bush was even worse than Obama.

"I’m not sure if I actually find the answer more offensive than the question. The American commentariat could not have been more disinterested in questions like “what are you going to do about Aleppo?” when they embedded themselves in Bush and Cheney’s Excellent Adventure in Iraq. They didn’t have the slightest inkling that they ought to ask a question like that. “What are you going to do when the majority Shi’a take over Iraq and force a massive Sunni diaspora into Syria?” “What are you going to do when the Sunnis react to the loss of Iraq by trying to take over Syria?”

Mr. Longman:

You mean Clinton did?
When Clinton was still selling the Iraq War war crime to businessmen in private speeches as a business opportunity, Trump had turned against it
even if he had originally supported it.
You can vote Jill Stein consistently if Trump is beyond the pale, but you cannot vote neolib/Clinton. Of course if you had said that, you couldn't have been published there.

"“The United States of America does not invade other countries to plunder and pillage. We don’t send our brave men and women around the world to steal oil, and that’s not even getting into the absurdity of what it would involve,” Hillary Clinton, 2016

“Businesses like those represented here at this table create jobs, provide livelihoods, increase standards of living, give hope to individuals.. and what government should do, whether it’s in the United States or in Iraq is to be a good partner (to Big Business)… Iraq is a business opportunity…” Hillary Clinton, Business Forum Promoting Commercial Opportunities in Iraq, 2011"
