Who is telling the truth.

[Jarhead]

Everyone lies. And honest politician is an oxymoron. Used to be just a joke, but now it's as self-evident as death and taxes. Of course, if you're prone to believing what politicians say and basing your decisions on that then another saying comes to mind,

A fool and their money are soon parted.

That's fine...but who/ what do you believe?

I don't actually believe anyONE. When there's a question before me I get as many answers as I'm willing to search for then compare them. If a consensus of opinion appears and it makes sense to me, that's who I'll believe. But I never take any individual's word for something.

Yep. I agree with you. I don't believe anyone. If I care enough about an issue to research it, I read all sources and try to extract some kind of truth.

I don't believe politicians.

Clapper is not a politician. He has no reason to lie.
