No, Trump's “lies” were not lies. ... A saw a guy who does what politicians do. Biden lies every breath The inconsistency of that should be obvious even to you. You say that all politicians lie. I won't challenge that. But even in the very same post you claim that your politician doesn't lie while the other guy does. If politicians making "immaterial statements," by your definition, are not lying, then Biden isn't lying, either. If the wall and the pandemic are immaterial, then virtually everything is immaterial. >> So, anything that's a political statement is inherently not a lie? No, but what he listed was either false or immaterial bullshit. In what way do you think your vote has helped the country? That's easy. Trump is out of office. What policy have you seen out of Biden that makes you feel good about your vote?... I’d like to hear some of you address substantive issues for a change. I have stated before that I do not intend to discuss Biden issues on this board. The reason I gave is that it's a Trump thread. A further reason is that, as long as Biden stays between the 40 yard lines, I'm not paying close enough attention to offer thoughtful commentary. One of the biggest benefits of Trump being out of office is that I don't have to wake up each morning wondering what would be the latest Trump outrageous act, wondering if the world I knew would still be there. Now I can wake up and go work out in the pool, not pick up my computer first thing. If he strays outside the forties, give me a heads-up and I will investigate the matter.
