And yet today's daily lies are an accepted norm. Lies about jobs coming back, lies about NK doing the de-nuke thing, lies about tariffs, and least of all...even lies about how he didn't have sex or even know 'that woman'. We seem to have evolved.
---------------------------------------- Thats the thing , who actually KNOWS what lies are being told eh . In my 70 years the Government has probably told thousands upon thousands of lies since the Founding . Who knows what the lies are . And no one cares anyway as they live a pretty good life here in the USA .
Pis, in your 70 years, do you remember the Pentagon Papers, Watergate, "I did not have sex.."? Those lies cost, mainly because the men who made them 'manned up' when caught instead of doubling down and pointing to someone else as the villian. Heck, even Gingrich and Hastert lost their jobs for fudging truth, not to mention Spiro Agnew. I'm pretty sure there are other examples.
No, my friend, I hope those days when lying doesn't pay return, but in the meantime, mainly only since 2016 does no one care, as you say.
