The age of political lying

[bgreene]

As some may have noticed - I have a personal distaste for lying and slandering people .

And, while I was initially interested in what Trump might bring to politics, as I FACT CHECKED, I realized he was a great showman and lied …..A LOT .

Here’s 15 of Trumps LIES but of course this list is now old - he’s lied a lot more since this list

Has anyone noticed that? It’s not the impression I have from my observation.

Fact checking by the fox who’s guarding the henhouse leaves some credibility to be desired.

And that list is typical CNN. I wonder if they’ll do a list of Biden’s lies, or Pelosi’s or Schiff’s - they could narrow it down a little by only doing the incessantly repeated lies.

This list of trump LIES includes absolute facts.

Once again, mostly unresponsive. I recall one of your initial big, egregious Trump lies was that he said he wouldn’t have much time to play golf as president, but then he found he could get a lot of work done on the golf course. The way you make that into ANY kind of lie is by being intellectually dishonest.

Personal insults again and again from you.

FACT was: Trump did say “ Obama plays too much golf and as President I ( trump) wouldn’t have time for golf.
Then Trump actually played more golf days than Obama .

This is just a fact - you want to go with the excuse that he worked on the golf course that’s your right .

The FACT that he was an experienced executive and was able to play more golf than he had anticipated only makes the statement a lie in the mind of an intellectually dishonest person, or one blinded by extreme bias. It is laughably foolish.
