Big article in the NY Times today about politicians lying. Both D and R mentioned.
I bet you will continue to repeat that same line hundreds of times though.

What’s the maximum number of lies that are allowed, before we should start caring? do democrats get a larger number?

Show me a D how "gets a larger number?"
Keep trying to comparing hundreds/thousands of lies with 1 or an embellishment and that is why we (I) can't take you seriously.

paul this is just like the kids in cages at the border. it was totally ok when obama did it, but a crime against humanity when trump did the same exact thing, because according to you guys, trump did it more often. i asked 50 times how many times it’s ok to lock kids in cages before it’s evil, none of you even tried to answer.

And here it is again Jim’s logic
if they are not crimes what’s the problem
Jim give up . You defend this clown right off the bat. But know since you committed yourself to his cause
You decide to do what you always do try to make some false equivalences. And in double down because you can’t win the argument.
And the only argument I made was if his lies were proven truth would Republicans make him resign?
And it’s looking like they won’t hopefully they’ll come to their senses
But now they are proving that they are not the party of integrity, honesty, truthfulness they’re only interested in keeping his seat at any cost.

Santos has told dozens (on the way to hundreds) of lies. Trump thousands.
The D lies or embellishments you post are not crimes and that is why both Santos and Trump are being investigated by federal and local authorities.
Blumenthal was a reservist and said he served in vietnam - which he didn't. How is Blumenthal's a crime?

Wayne, since Blumenthal's lie is actually against the law, then on what basis could you conclude that Santos' lies are worse? Other than the fact that Santos is a republican, that is...
"false equivalences"
Wayne, no two events are exactly alike in every single detail. That doesn't mean they aren't somewhat comparable. Every single time yoru hypocrisy is shown, you cry about "false equivalence", yet you never, ever specify why the equivalence is false. Never. I'm giving you a chance to do that here. Why is Blumenthal's lie not worse that Santos'?
They passed a law to criminalize what Blumenthal did. SO again, please tell us why his lie is more benign than Santos'?
I'll wait.

If you do something before the law is passed to make it a crime you didn’t commit a crime.
The law in this country is not retroactive.
Jim’s thinking of his dream, a totalitarian country run by an authoritarian who will make everyone he doesn’t like behave correctly and control the branches of government to make it happen.

You either don't know what you are talking about or you are intentionally lying. Blumenthal said he served in vietnam in 2003 and there was no law against saying that. He said he misspoke and other times said he did not serve. The law says he has to receive a benefit and he did not.

sorry, i assumed you could read, my bad. I said here in this thread, , that “today”, his lie is a crime. It wasn’t then, but is is today. true or false?
any special reason why you’re too cowardly to defend your statement that it’s about the number of lies? what’s the magic number paul? how many lies are ok?
the answer is, “how ever many the democrat tells, that number is ok. however many the republican tells. is too many”.
Right?
biden was caught plagiarizing and had told plenty of whoppers to puff himself up. And I don’t really care as many of them do it. but all of a sudden you guys are saying that lying disqualifies yiu from federal government. at least when republicans do it, that is.
Bill Clinton was disbarred for lying. and he’s an enormously popular hero to the left.
Must be convenient to cloak yourself in such hypocrisy.

So you just got caught lying again! It seems to be a common theme with you. I'll bump up that other thread to show what a scummy liar you are.

what lie didn’t tell paul? i said that what blumenthal did then, is a crime today.
you said it’s about the number of lies, but you flatly refuse to go into any detail about how that makes any sense at all.
i’m answering your questions, you’re dodging mine, because even you know you can’t respond without looking foolish.
go ahead an insult me again instead of answering.

YOU guys said the severity of the lies matter. Therefore it’s worth pointing out that blumenthals lie is so bad, it’s now a crime. i asked you guys many times, on what basis you’d conclude santos lies are worse?
so how many lies are allowed?

How did he benefit since that is an important part of the law? What money or tangible benefit did he receive?

But i can’t see where you specified how many lies are allowed and how many is too many, and how you arrived at that threshold.
So either my reading comprehension is very poor, or you’re the liar. if you answered i apologize but i don’t see it. i’m squinting at my phone while watching my oldest play hoops so maybe i messed it and maybe you chose to dodge.

He got elected bc it looks like he LIED about almost everything. Great college education, successful businessman, generous, founded charities, had ees killed, etc, etc. all lies. The truth is pretty much the exact opposite.

saying “the republican told too many, the democrat told less than the allied amount” is t explaining anything paul.
it’s an empty, self serving answer.
you never responded. but claimed you did. are you a scummy liar? or are you still below the allowable number?
this is fun.

It is,, I point out where you know he didn't commit a crime yet say that anyways. Shows what a scummy person you are. Then I bump up another thread where you lied about what I said and that shows what a scummy person you are. Do you see a pattern here?
This is fun!

I answered your questions and also pointed out how you are a scummy person who lies and accuses someone of committing a crime when they know there was no law against it at the time.
