@snood,

I'm more outraged at the left's abuse of power, malicious violation of civil liberties for no reason, and overall intolerance towards people they don't agree with.
Although, if I see a statement that is clearly untrue I will probably point out that it is untrue.

When it comes to the "leftists" and progressives, you are clear about your opinion of them as liars.
The problem here is not the lie. The problem is using the law as a weapon to harm people they don't agree with.
snood wrote:Why did none of Donald Trump's lies ever seem to bother you?
He said Mexico would pay for the wall. It was repeated at every campaign rally. It was chanted by the crowds. It was a lie.
I guess that lie doesn't matter to me because I don't care about the wall or about who pays for it.
snood wrote:He said he would build a "big, beautiful wall, like no one's ever seen before" in his first year in office. But four years later less than 25 miles of new wall has been completed. That was a lie.
Not a lie. He made a good faith effort to build the wall.
snood wrote:He promised on several occasions to repeal Obamacare and release his own fantastic healthcare plan (in two weeks)that would cover more people for less money and still cover pre-existing conditions. That was a big, fantastic lie.
Not a lie. He made a good faith effort to repeal Obamacare.
snood wrote:He said he would "certainly " release his tax returns if he was elected. A lie.
If he said it, that lie doesn't bother me because I couldn't care less about his tax records.

All I remember is caravans of people wanting to claim refugee status.

It will once we get enough people vaccinated.
snood wrote:and the size of his crowds
Actually the media was lying about the size of his crowds. He was right to complain.
snood wrote:and that he was at ground zero on 9/11 and his own height and weight and on and on and on...
You didn't mind. Never bothered you. Why not?
First, I am unaware of most of these statements to begin with.
Second, they seem pretty harmless and insignificant. What's the big deal?
snood wrote:Because he protected the 2nd Amendment?
Well, had he committed some sort of real offense, that would likely excuse it.
But in this case, I don't see how the alleged lies are any sort of offense. Who cares if he lies about his height and weight?
snood wrote:Do you have any idea how weak that sounds?
No.
Had Mr. Trump committed some sort of offense, his protection of our civil liberties would still be vital.
snood wrote:Why was it okay with you that he was and is a bold faced, constant liar?
It seems to me that with about half the alleged lies, he actually wasn't lying.
And the statements that are actual lies all seem to be insignificant and harmless.
snood wrote:If the truth is only important to you when it's "leftists" that are lying, then your words and your outrage and your opinions mean less than nothing.
I don't see the logic in that conclusion. However I care about the truth regardless of who is speaking.
I don't care if someone lies about their height and weight however.
