Hollywood has set the rules and the objectives. You stroke, enhance and develop your ego to become someone other than who you are.

It's OK - she "identifies" with being poor and we have to respect that.

Speaking of politicians lying:
==========================
Prosecutors debunk Trump-fueled conspiracy theory about former Wasserman Schultz aide

The ex-staffer pleaded guilty to lying on a home loan application — completely unrelated to his work as a congressional staffer.

by Dartunorro Clark / Jul.03.2018

Federal prosecutors on Tuesday publicly debunked conspiracy theories pushed by President Donald Trump and right-wing media that a former Democratic aide charged with bank fraud was actually a foreign spy trying to steal government secrets.

In a plea deal with Imran Awan, who worked as an information technology aide for Rep. Debbie Wasserman Schultz, D-Fla., and other Democratic lawmakers, prosecutors said they had conducted "a thorough investigation" into claims that Awan stole information from government servers on behalf of another country while working for House Democrats, but reported that they found no evidence to support the conspiracy theories.

"The Government agrees that the public allegations that (Awan) stole U.S. House of Representatives equipment and engaged in unauthorized or illegal conduct involving House computer systems do not form the basis of any conduct relevant to the determination of the sentence in this case," prosecutors said.

David Damron, a spokesman for Wasserman Schultz, said on Tuesday that the lawmaker was pleased with the result of the investigation and that prosecutors had publicly shot down the conspiracy theories.

"We rely on our justice system to produce a fair result, after a considered, objective review," Damron said in a statement. "That role is even more important at a time when Donald Trump and his allies spread dangerous distortions with the intent of falsely smearing his political opponents."

The claims that Awan was improperly siphoning government data while working as a Democratic aide and storing it off-site on behalf of another country began on internet forums and was later spread by right-wing news outlets. The allegations then gained even more steam after Trump tweeted about the case twice earlier this year.

Trump referred to Awan as the "Pakistani mystery man" in an April tweet attacking Democrats and Wasserman Shultz.

"Just heard the Campaign was sued by the Obstructionist Democrats. This can be good news in that we will now counter for the DNC Server that they refused to give to the FBI, the Debbie Wasserman Schultz Servers and Documents held by the Pakistani mystery man and Clinton Emails," the president wrote.

In June, Trump tweeted that the government "must not let Awan ... off the hook" and suggested the Democrats' server was missing.

"Our Justice Department must not let Awan & Debbie Wasserman Schultz off the hook. The Democrat I.T. scandal is a key to much of the corruption we see today. They want to make a 'plea deal' to hide what is on their Server. Where is Server? Really bad!" Trump tweeted.

Officials said Awan and his wife, Hina Alvi, defrauded the Congressional Federal Credit Union for $165,000 by lying on a home equity loan application, according to federal court documents. He was arrested last year at at Dulles International Airport trying to fly to Lahore, Pakistan.

Awan, 38, pleaded guilty to lying on the loan application and likely faces six months or less in jail. His wife left the U.S. last year.

To probe the conspiracy theories, prosecutors said they seized the server used by the House Democratic caucus, along with computers and other electronic devices and performed a forensic analysis. They also interviewed roughly 40 witnesses, according to the plea agreement.

"The Government has uncovered no evidence that your client violated federal law with respect to the House computer systems," says the plea agreement, addressed to Awan's lawyer. "Particularly, the Government has found no evidence that your client illegally removed House data from the House network or from House Members’ offices, stole the House Democratic Caucus Server, stole or destroyed House information technology equipment, or improperly accessed or transferred government information, including classified or sensitive information."

did you actually read the article you posted? I mean past the headline?

It said absolutely nothing about her growing up wealthy. If her father died from cancer when she was 18, then one could also assume that he was sick and possibly not working for a couple years prior to that.

not to mention the wealth that would have been consumed by insurance and healthcare costs.

the article does not go on to validate or verify whether her other bio claims and her family stories are true or not.... it grabs a single picked morsel that fits a narrative, much like you, and ignores everything else to make a headline.

what a sad life you must actually live....

I think we can agree that all politicians lie.
There's beau-coup articles on why they lie.

I think its safe to say that most in this forum ain't gonna be running for political office.
The biggest lie - I need four million dollars to win this campaign for a $100,000/year job, so I can "fix" the economy, abortion, education, military, gun control, gun rights etc., etc., ad nauseam. It's all a perpetual, "Mr. Smith goes to Washington & Groundhog Day" in theaters near you.

I think the reason we're in so much trouble now is that as a population we got tired of having to watch politicians constantly and defend our country from them, so we decided that one party was ours. That way all we have to do is vote Democrat and we've done our part.
We've forgotten that there isn't any real difference between them.

Specially considering that the big pre-election fault of Clinton supposedly was that she lied so much.

There are Trump supporters who didn't vote for Clinton because they believed she wasn't interested in what is best for the US, but only interested in getting richer herself.

Yes, it does amaze me they don't see the irony.

Yep.

Hey Marc,

Can you explain why you support

– A president who benefited from Russian interference in the 2016 election and appears determined to pay back Vladimir Putin by inviting him back to the G-7, possibly recognizing Russia’s illegal annexation of Crimea, considering the pull-out of U.S. troops from Germany and continually demeaning America’s allies.

– A president who is an appeaser of dictators, saying that Kim Jong Un has a “great personality” and that Putin is “fine,” while attacking ailing war heroes such as former president George H.W. Bush and Sen. John McCain (R-Ariz.).

– A president who veered from war-mongering to appeasement of North Korea, stopping U.S.-South Korea “war games” and legitimating a repugnant regime in return for (so far) empty promises of denuclearization.

– A president who excoriates the loyal opposition as traitors and criminals — and threatens to lock them up or to inflict physical violence upon them.

– A president who echoes autocrats by calling the free press the “enemy of the people,” and attempts to retaliate against objective publications such as The Washington Post.

– A president who uses dehumanizing language (“infest,” “animals,” “breed,” “snakes”) to refer to Latino immigrants – and not just gang members.

– A president who caters to racists by calling African countries “shithole countries,” lambasting NFL players who kneel to protest police brutality, claiming that some white supremacists are “very fine people,” and defending Confederate monuments.

– A president who ordered, before reluctantly rescinding, an unconscionable policy of detaining children to punish their parents for the misdemeanor offense of entering the country illegally. Trump still hasn’t reunited all of the children with their parents and is now planning to detain entire families.

– A president who obstructs justice by firing FBI Director James B. Comey to stop the probe of his Russia ties, vilifies his own attorney general for properly recusing himself, labels the FBI a “den of thieves,” and smears a war hero, special counsel Robert S. Mueller III, by accusing him of nonexistent conflicts of interest.

– A president who claims that he is above the law by asserting “I have the absolute right to PARDON myself” and the “absolute right to do what I want to do with the Justice Department.”

– A president who bypasses normal procedures to pardon supporters such as Dinesh D’Souza and Joe Arpaio who have shown no remorse for their crimes.

– A president whose former national security adviser and deputy campaign manager have pleaded guilty to felonies, and whose former campaign manager is in prison awaiting trial on numerous felony charges.

– A president who secretly pays off a porn star who alleges that they had an affair the same year that Trump’s youngest son was born.

– A president who lies an average of 6.5 times a day.

– A president who flouts ethical norms by not divulging his finances and not divesting his ownership of a real estate company that does business all over the world. Among its partners: countries like China that threaten U.S. security.

– A president who launches trade wars that are straining U.S. alliances and costing U.S. jobs – with the nation’s largest nail manufacturer laying off workers and Harley-Davidson planning to shift production overseas.

– A president who endorses a Senate candidate accused of child molestation, hires a White House communications director who covered up sexual harassment scandals at Fox News, and defends Rep. Jim Jordan (R-Ohio) from accusations that he ignored sexual abuse on a wrestling team he coached.

– A president who demeans women (e.g., tweeting that “low I.Q. Crazy Mika” Brzezinski was “bleeding badly from a face-lift”), brags about grabbing them by their private parts, and has been accused by at least 16 women of sexual misconduct.

– A president who is doubling the annual budget deficit and running up federal debt to the highest levels since World War II.

– A president whose erratic behavior has caused global confidence in U.S. leadership to plunge to a new low of just 30 percent.
