Is it Acceptable to Repeat a Blatant Lie in a Political Speech?

[struth]

So you are saying the 140 Trump staffers that worked on Project 2025 and the fact JD Vance wrote the forward to the document, was just a coincidence?

Kevin Roberts, the president if heritage foundation wrote the forward to the document.

Just shows how little you know about what the document says.

Acceptable? It’s bloody well to be expected.

I'm sorry, Vance wrote the forward to Kevin's book!

Excerpt from Biden's disgraceful speech at the DNC:

"When the president was asked what he thought had happened. Donald Trump said, and I quote, “There were very fine people on both sides.” My god. That’s what he said. That is what he said and what he meant."

The Left has REPEATEDLY characterized this statement, which referred to people who wanted to retain, and wanted to remove, statues of Confederate war heroes, as President Trump calling neo-Nazi's and White Supremacists, "very fine people." As the text of Trump's comments make clear, this is a Leftist lie. Not a difference of opinion, a lie. Even Snopes has weighed in (as others have brought up in this forum), to say, in effect, "Cut the shit. This is a lie."

My view is that politicians do NOT have the right to LIE. They can omit facts, slant a viewpoint, render an unpopular opinion, or tell their side of the story, but lying is unacceptable under all circumstances.

So this Biden fellow, who wants nothing more than to be remembered as a "fine statesman" in a couple weeks when he gives up the ghost, has chosen to pepper his final major public speech with lies.

Is lying acceptable?

[To the first person who says, "What about Trump?" I swear to God I will find out where you live and cut off/out your reproductive organs].

Which of these were very fine people...?

 

[John Edgar Slow Horses]

Anyone who defends Trump's "many fine people" speech is either a loony or a near imbecilic.

No one is a pretty good person on the side of the KKK, nazis, or confederates.

 

[EvilCat Breath]

They have lied for So Very Long about “the very fine people” that they actually become indignant when its disproven Again

Disproving one of the communists favorite lies is an excuse to repeat it again.

Trump's cult has been doing it for four years.

Ok…big deal.

Thanks for highlighting to us all you are clueless about project 2025 once again

I proved there is a connection between Trump acolytes and Project 2025.

You, on the otherhsnd, have not provided any evidence to the contrary.

Ok, so then what

Nothing. I guess we just agree to disagree?

“Cult” indicates lack of moderate reasoning

 

[WEATHER53]

Lying souls are doomed
I don’t concern myself with punishment in the afterlife because lib loons unknowing are punished every single day by their own conduct and choices.

... on the cult's part.

No the name calling like deplorable or cult simply shows prejudice of a non moderate

It's an accurate description for MAGA, so you are being immoderate.

It’s no surprise you endorse snd are devoted to vacuous name calling.

In the past, Trump used a lot of "weasel words" to give cover to his white supremacist beliefs. His words and his intentions were clear. When asked to condemn the white supremicist violence, Trump flat out refused to do so.

Just like his weasel words at the Elipse. He said to march peacefully. He used the words "peacefully" once, for plausible deniability, like a Mafia Boss. He used the word "fight", and "fight like hell, or you won't have a country", forcefully emphasizing the phrase.

This is the very definition of "gaslighting" and it's a technique Trump has always used to confuse weak minded fools like you.

It's no name calling to identify you as a mass psychotic cult.

No "deplorable" truly describes someone who thought separating parents and children at the border and then "losing" track of the children, as a deterrent to illegal immigration, was a good idea. It's a fucking CRIME AGAINST HUMANITY.

We call you a "cult" because that's what MAGA is - a cult of personality. And Your Beloved Leader is following the Authoritarians Playbook for destroying a democracy, the first item being "Call the free press the 'enemy of the people' so when the free report what you're doing, your followers don't believe them".

Trump is a convicted felon and a conman, and still you believe. That's the very definition of a "Cult".
