>> How vast a political exaggeration would it have to be for it to be a lie? Far less of one than when when Biden claimed Georgia passed a new law aimed at preventing theft of the next election, was some kind of Jim Crow legislation. Is that a lie? Of course it is. What about his claim that "you go to a gun show, you can buy whatever you want -- no background check" -- a totally false statement. Does THAT bother you? If you want to try to stop both candidates from lying, then fine. Let's see how that works out. The problem here is that you (along with your media) choose to point out the lies of only Trump. So, when Biden accused Trump of allowing immigrant kids to "starve to death on the other side" of the Mexican border (a whopper, told in front of a room full of reporters), I didn't hear you pick up on that. What happened? When idiots including the media ran with the story Trump wanted to "inject bleach", no one corrected that, even though he never said anything remotely like that. But the public still believes he said it. Who are the liars here? When WaPo claims Trump lied 30,000 times that itself is a lie. Kessler uses the word "lie" once in all that. If he can't call it a lie why is it on the list? Trump didn't lie to mislead the American People at about policy -- like holding a small number of kids at the border temporarily. Meanwhile, Biden is shipping kids off the border and into the country daily. Dispersing them, as it were, by the thousands. It doesn't matter. In our society we have always understood that political lies are acceptable. But policy lies from either side should be the focus, not "my fish is bigger than your fish".
