I do not know what your name-calling is about. I know the "mainstream" media slogan about Trump being a "liar", but everytime I partially checked some of those lists of lies, I only found distortions, misinterpretations or outright false claims. — Nobeernolife
Did DJT have the largest, greatest, best inaugural as he claimed - insisted upon? — tim wood
Fair question, but there are so many it's hard to know where to start. Many of his public pronouncements on the Corona virus have had nothing to do with truth. But I find egregious his lies about his inauguration, his electoral college margin, and that millions of ballots were illegitimate. These fall into the category of what's sometimes called "the Big Lie." That is, the lie told to destroy entirely notions of truth and accuracy. I do not know that Hitler invented the big lie, but he was a practitioner. The Soviet state operated on it, And Putin is a master of it. And that's your boy, the company he keeps, and the techniques he uses. And there's the pathological dimension.What is the worst lie that you are blaming Trump for? — Nobeernolife
Really?...what about this one: — ZhouBoTong

I answered that. I do not know had the friggin "greatest" inauguration, and I do not care. Maybe his Majesty Barrack Obama had a greater inaugoration in your mind. Why is that relevant?
So is that the greatest, most profound "lie" that you can think of? — Nobeernolife

Many of the people in DACA, no longer very young, are far from ‘angels.’ Some are very tough, hardened criminals.
I was the person who saved Pre-Existing Conditions in your healthcare.
'Years of economic decay are over' because Trump 'reversed the failed economic policies of the previous administration.'
Some of the Democrats have been talking about ending (coverage for) pre-existing conditions.
In many places, like California, the same person votes many times. You probably heard about that. They always like to say 'oh that's a conspiracy theory.' Not a conspiracy theory, folks. Millions and millions of people.
Over the last two years, the number of murders in America and America’s major cities has dropped, unlike here (Chicago), by more than 10%.
Originally "almost all models predicted" Dorian would hit Alabama.
California "admitted" there were "a million" illegal votes in the 2016 presidential election.
There has never been, ever before, an administration that’s been so open and transparent.
"The noise (from windmills) causes cancer.
Democrats let him (cop killer Luis Bracamontes) into our country," and "Democrats let him stay."
Everywhere Marie Yovanovitch went turned bad," including Somalia and Ukraine.
Nancy Pelosi, Adam Schiff, and the rest of the corrupt Democrats made a promise to their crazy left-wing base that they would impeach me even BEFORE I took office.
Today I opened a major Apple Manufacturing plant in Texas that will bring high paying jobs back to America.
You can not legislate affordability. — Nobeernolife
Name a few of the assumptions you find questionable.No. Didn´t read it in detail, but right off the bat I see so many loaded assumptions, it is clear this is another hit piece. — Nobeernolife
I expect thoughtful analysis by experts. I expect the same thing from the Cato Institute and American Enterprise institute. I don't always agree with them, but its worthwhile to hear alternative, educated perspectives. You seem dismissive of any perspective you disagree with. No wonder you're so devoted to a cartoonist.And what else to expect from the Brookings Institute.
Proving beyond doubt that either you're terminally stupid - which I doubt - or vicious in the way of weasels and liars. The subject is not the size of anyone's inaugural, but rather lying about it. — tim wood

Political hyperbole is not "lying". By that standard, all politicians lie, any time, all the time. So again, is that the greatest "lie" you can think of? — Nobeernolife
the claim that only CNN is allowed to read Wikileaks — Nobeernolife
staged muslim peace demonstrations — Nobeernolife
"good people" Charleston lie — Nobeernolife
"fish tank cleaner as miracle cure" lie? — Nobeernolife
I do. Real news can make mistakes. Fake news on the other hand "is a form of news consisting of deliberate disinformation or hoaxes ... written and published usually with the intent to mislead in order to damage an agency, entity, or person, and/or gain financially or politically, often using sensationalist, dishonest, or outright fabricated headlines to increase readership." — Michael

Pretty good description of what people are regularly fed by CNN, the NYT and the rest of the so-called mainstream media.
How many have apologized for this fake Trump bashing news that was splattered all over recenty?
Seriously, when you make such a statement, it just sounds like you're parrotting Trump. Michael was referring to the original definition of "fake news" - falsehoods that get widely circulated. Trump uses the term to refer to unfavorable coverage. Avoid conflating the two, and you could then have productive conversations. If CNN is spreading actual falsehoods, that's something I want to know about. I'm also fine hearing about positive things Trump's done that CNN omitted. But be willing to discuss both the good and the bad.I do. Real news can make mistakes.

To be fair, this is also true of Trumpist bubbles, but the frequency of those are almost negligible as far as I can tell. — NOS4A2

All politicians spout political hyperbole. If you count that as "lying", they all lie all the time. Now lies I that I am concerned about are lies that have catastrophic results, such as the lie that the Bengazi jihadis were a popular, democratic uprising against Gaddafi. For examople.Why is it not lying? Is it ok for politicians to lie, some of the time or all the time? Do some politicians lie more than others? — Echarmion
Surprisingly, it is still on Youtube: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=eQllunHssEk"The claim that only CNN is allowed to read Wikileaks — Nobeernolife
Where and when did CNN use those exact words?" — Echarmion
The original complete clip has been removed by Youtube and Twitter (what a surprise), but you can still find parts of it. Watch it tell us how truthful CNN is:staged muslim peace demonstrations — Nobeernolife
That just seems like political hyperbole, if it happened, which I doubt. — Echarmion
He said "good people on both sides" about the pro/anti statue protesters, and NOT about the neonazis. Very clearly. Which you would know if you actually read the transcript, instead of listening to the fake media lies. The fake media narrative is a total lie, and one of the most shameful ones."good people" Charleston lie — Nobeernolife
Trump's words are a matter of public record. Not a lie. — Echarmion
No, it did NOT. Trump NEVER recommended drinking fish tank cleaner, like these two idiots did."fish tank cleaner as miracle cure" lie?
The thing they reported on happened, so based on your standard, not a lie. — Echarmion
Get involved in philosophical discussions about knowledge, truth, language, consciousness, science, politics, religion, logic and mathematics, art, history, and lots more. No ads, no clutter, and very little agreement — just fascinating conversations.
