We are daily lied to by politicians, "intelligence" agencies, news medias, corporations, preachers, ad agencies and all manner of things and people who or which seek to influence us to do or think or believe something.

That's not to say that I think it's a good thing. If the Trumps are guilty of punishable offences, it would be good that they be punished.

But that applies to all the others as well. Many of whom want to punish Trump. My larger concern are the lies perpetrated to transform this country into a centralized power state. It appears to me that this is obviously happening, and the lies to cover it up are so persuasive, or we are so gullible, or we are so needy to hang on to the benefits we are promised and so trusting that we will get them that the lies are OK--no different, perhaps, than those we tell in order to get others to love us, or comfort us, or satisfy our pleasure.

So if Trump's lies are the central, important biggy for you, I can understand your need to daily bang the drum. But when you lie, distort, twist, deceive in order to expose what you consider his lies, and you repeat the lies of those who use Trump as one of their scapegoats to achieve the power to transform this nation into an authoritarian state that proscribes what rights we can have rather than protecting our constitutional unalienable rights, then it's a biggy for me to expose the lies and distortions of you and those you parrot.

So apparently everyone’s politics are based on the lies they choose to believe and repeat, except for the truth that comes from YouTube
