The post-truth era

So, was Douchebag Donald lying when he called Crooked Hillary the best Secretary of State?

Ha....its no wonder they claim Trump is a liar.....I'm all for mending fences, but Trumps statement is laughable....and a total insult some of the

honorable men and women that did serve our country in that position.......
 
I posted about it a couple of weeks ago. This illuminating article will help you to understand the term. I would suggest that it describes perfectly how it works. I would further suggest that many things close to liberal hearts are in fact post-truths like CAGW and identity politics.

I'd say he didn't know she was disaster, but on a further look was convinced he was wrong. Stop being a Desh and Cfan, where being wrong makes you a liar, instead of just wrong.
 
This, " Trump called Crooked Hillary the best Secretary of State", certainly proves he told at least ONE lie......

He does that kind of stuff all the time. I don't even consider his exaggerations to be lies.

But Trump is a classic pathological liar. He lies every day. He basically lies every time he speaks for more than a few minutes.

Of course you would call his comment on Hillary an exaggeration and not a lie because you're narrow-minded when it comes to judging Hillary...whereas any accusations Trump denies you would call a lie without a second thought.

Lie for lie, Hillary is the champion of champions....one need look no further than her testimony in Congress and her hundreds of excuses on the email scandal when she spoke on TV interviews.....its no contest....her lies are absolutely proven, not exaggerations and not just cases of mis-speaking....or people just mis-characterizing her words. Unlike Trump being plain wrong and exaggerating many times , Hillary's lies are proven and undeniable......landing under sniper fire to the emails and
just about everything in between.....many caught on tape....

It has nothing to do w/ how I feel about Hillary. The example you posted was hyperbole - it's an opinion statement, so by its nature, can't be a lie.

How unsurprising that you have a hard time w/ even a simple concept like that.

And there is no comparison at all. Hillary has lied to cover herself. Trump lies habitually; for him, it's like breathing.
 
Can a Trumptard defend Douchebag Donald's lies without using the five words: "Bill," "Hillary," "Clinton" "Barack," or "Obama?"

True, Trumps comment was not an intentional falsehood to fool anybody....and it certainly didn't fool anybody that was aware of the facts....I used it because it
was brought up in a previous post....you didn't get the fact that it was an attempt at humor, ie Post 21
....the fact remains,

Lie for lie, Hillary is the champion of champions....one need look no further than her testimony in Congress and her hundreds of excuses on the email scandal when she spoke on TV interviews.....its no contest....her lies are absolutely proven, not exaggerations and not just cases of mis-speaking....or people just mis-characterizing her words or hyperbole. Unlike Trump being plain wrong and exaggerating many times , Hillary's lies are proven and undeniable, the reason for her lies is irrelevant.


Many of Trumps "lies" can be explained by his simply being mis-informed, his personal opinions and observations and exaggerations.

Obvious mis-statements that anyone could see were wrong, parsed by the media who quickly condemned then as absolute and purposeful

lies ....while Hillarys lies were ignored for the most part or spun as "mostly true" or "partly false" on left wing fact checkers, fooling no one but
those desperately looking for some kind of justification of what she said.

I only make this post for others that might have an open mind, unlike you that has made a decision and won't consider anything new or

different.....as BAC sig says....Cognitive Dissonance is a powerful mindfuck. It transfixes it's host with the terror of inconvenient truth .. the brain

becomes motionless .. and all avenues to critical thought are blocked.
 
Interestingly enough, that would be a lie, both figuratively and literally.

Actually Snopes put Hillary as lying 13% of the time while Trump is at 66%.
