I can't tell the difference in the volume of lies and subterfuge between any of them.

BHO: Benghazi diplomatic mission was attacked because of a stupid video.
BHO Sec of State: Qaddaffi is a threat, we came, we saw, he died.
BHO: We support freedom fighters in Syria.
BHO: We must support the struggle for justice in Yemen.
W: Iraq is a threat
BJ Clinton: that aspirin factor was dangerous
Those are specific lies. AOC and Trump regularly exaggerate to the point of it being a lie all the time.
Trump hasn't gotten us into another war, and has tried to pull us back from wars. Low bar, but better than his predecessors.
I don't follow how this sentence is related.

Trump hasn't lied as far as I can tell so much as he just didn't know what he was tweeting about at 0300.

This is just a random selection, but Trump says highest poll numbers ever, and its not true.

To be clear, I'm not trying to beat trump up over it, its what he does. To engage with the lie, were I to be trying to hurt trump, would be a bad tactic.

The point isn't the lie. The lie isn't overly relevant. His point is true. He has good support with his base. By the time you could quibble over Eisenhower, he's already moved on to, and the emotion holds true.

Again, I wasn't attacking AOC or Trump, just that they have similar political styles.

I'm talking about the impact of lies. I'm less concerned with the window dressing and presentation than I am the end impact. Frankly, if all those other folks were lying to you daily, and they probably were, you just didn't know about it because they were lies the State and the MSM liked. For example, the US does not spy on its citizens or illegal immigration is good for the US.

AOC WAS A GIRL SCOUT … JUST SAY NO TO THE COOKIES

Lol...

Someone should tell this woman that AOC also breathes the air, drinks the water, and eats the food. Anyone this obsessed should stay away from all things AOC participates in.

Don't buy the cookies because some of the money goes towards advancing abortion.

Yep, we used to stand outside the grocery store with Thin Mints on the table right under the NARAL sign.

The proceeds go to a parent organization that promotes abortion. It has nothing to do with whether you were aware of it (or even care about baby killing).

Lets be accurate here.
We are only accustomed to dealing with like twenty online personas at a time so when we only have about ten people some people have to be strawmanned in order to advance our same relative go nowhere nonsense positions. -TheReal_ND

It is not just "freedom" to take your baby's life. They literally fund it.

But even if that was all they did, I'd not do business with them any more than I'd do business with an organization that promoted the "freedom" to own slaves.

Also, changing people's post without explicitly saying you are doing it makes the thread confusing to lurkers.
