Actually politicians constantly lie. They lie through deception, through commission, through misrepresentation. Good examples of such are such fiends such as Waters, Pelosi, Schumer,McConnell, Graham etc. Biden is such a liar that his own party has called him on it numerous times.

I can't think of a single career politician that isn't a liar.

Natalie you do know that you are putting yourself in a box. Obama's lies were not fatherly lies or good natured yarns, they were blatant falsehoods meant to cover for some serious screw ups. I agree Trump takes lying to an alternate Universe level, but that doesn't buy a free pass for Obama or anyone else.

Let me ask you this. I know you will answer honestly. If you owned a business and you had an employee lie to cover mistakes, or to cover for previous lies. Would you be tolerant of that employee? What if the mistakes cost you large sums of money? What if the mistakes resulted in injury or deaths?

That is what we are dealing with here. Public servants, are our employees. We do deserves some honesty from them.Obama lied and lied often. Biden lies even more and Trump is the grand master of liars.

Just name one thing Trump has done?

Trump supporters would sharply disagree with you because what Trump lies about doesn't even adversely impact their lives. So Trump will continue to lie all he wants, if he wins reelection. He also has a way of telling his approving supporters exactly what they want to hear that is good, whether true or not.

The European nations that have a high number of total deaths from Covid-19 are those that were first hit with the virus - Spain, Belgium, United Kingdom, Italy, Sweden, France, etc.

To draw from this that the United States failed in some way, is ridiculous, and the fact that our current death rate is lower than that of France, United Kingdom, Israel, Spain, Italy, Netherlands, Ukraine, Switzerland and Portugal is evidence that we are doing well.
For all you know, the U. S. lags the world when it comes to current covid death rates. For total deaths the U. S. is no. 9, a figure not to be real proud of.

Covid is the big Smoke Screen. Cases are meaningless. Infection rate is meaningless. Unless you are old and sick go out and live your lives. All others take the necessary precautions. All these Democrat lock downs and MEDIA generated panic is criminal and an infringement on RIGHTS, freedoms and liberties.

Wow... More violence from the Right than the Left... Nobody believes that line of BS. Heck, even CNN can’t hide the facts anymore.

Seriously, where have you been since May 2020 when Antifa and BLM have been destroying numerous American cities? I’m sure that the last 150+ nights of rioting in Portland, Oregon were all members of the Right... I’m sure that all those rioters that attempted to burn down a Federal Courthouse where from the Right as well.

No sheet that all this violence is happening under Trump... The last time I checked, he was president. I know the Left have a selective memory, but we had major riots in our cities when Obama AND Biden were in office.

Btw, just now, another American city is on fire... Simply looking at the make up of the demonstrators/rioters, they don’t look like they’re from the Right... IMHO.

...Because you say it, over and over again, doesn’t make it the truth.

LOL!! So true and so funny (except that it's not). But voting for Biden instead of Trump "because Trump lies" is even funnier (except that it's not).

This election, in my opinion, really is a matter of voting for the lesser of two evils -- and I'm voting for Trump, as much as it pains me to say it.

So what's new?
You should be noting instead that Trump provides material for an endless stream of articles illustrating his ignorance, greed, incompetence, vindictiveness, bigotry, lying, paranoia, and bullying.

It's not a matter of what I believe about right/left wing violence. It's a matter of statistics. Here's one.

Violence by far right is among US’s most dangerous terrorist threats, study finds
