Truth

[jcb]

It is amazing that Biden has made ZERO false claims, right?

This 30,573 false claims is UTTER ********......It's called freakin politics. EVERY SINGLE ONE of them lie.

I could generate a list of thousands of lies from Biden already, but you know what. I understand that it is politics.

Saying "all politicians lie" seems wise, but it actually sets you up for a con because it ignores the question of degree.

Some politicians lie occasionally. Some are downright pathological, like 45. Some are in between. All of them shade the truth a bit.

When you lump them all in the same category, you are more likely to be misled, because of course, MY guy wouldn't lie like THEIR guy. And you lower the standard for the next batch of politicians that comes along.

This.

It's like the point I made in another thread. Two people got speeding tickets, one for doing 65mph in a 55mph zone and the other for doing 110mph in a 55mph zone. Yeah they both got speeding tickets but trying to compare the two at face value of them both just being speeding tickets is asinine. And while the law can/will punish one driver more severely than the other, there is nothing of the such to hold one accountable for lying a couple times a day compared to someone lying 20 plus times a day (again, unless in court....).
