But actually, Obama’s lie was even worse than this, because, from the very moment when he entered the White House in 2009, he already was hoping to invade Syria so as to eliminate Russia’s ally there, Bashar al-Assad. And, furthermore, Obama at the very start of his second term began preparations to overthrow another key Russian ally, the democratically elected President of Russia’s next-door neighbor Ukraine, Viktor Yanukovych. The coup in Ukraine started being implemented on 1 March 2013, which was well before the excuse for it (Yanukovych’s 20 November 2013 turn-down of Ukrainian membership in the EU) had even occurred; so, the lie that Obama’s anti-Russian sanctions are because Russia accepted Crimea’s return to Russia, after Obama actually stole Ukraine from its former Russian alliance, after Yanukovych rejected the EU’s offer to sell, to Ukraine, EU membership for a cost of $160 billion to be borne solely by Ukrainians, after Obama had set all of that up almost immediately after his second term began, is actually a string of lies by Obama about what he was doing and about what Putin was doing, and about what it all meant — and means.

The name of Trump appears but once in this article – and there is no documentation of “lies” by Trump.
What a strange headline for the article, then, which puts both Trump and Obama in the same class as liars. Seems like the headline is just thoughtless, gratuitous PC stuff.
the lie lives in public offices
those who sacrifice liberty to defend the truth are imprisoned
“Amnesty whistleblowers”
Democracy defend, not destroy it
the solutions begin with a desire
if we are many, we are a giant who brings solutions
