Why? . . .

. . . does anyone accept THIS???!!!



(from https://www.washingtonpost.com/politics/2020/01/20/president-trump-made-16241-false-or-misleading-claims-his-first-three-years/)
". . . Three years after taking the oath of office (as of Jan. 20, 2020), President Trump has made more than 16,200 false or misleading claims — a milestone that would have been unthinkable when we first created the Fact Checker’s database that analyzes, categorizes and tracks every suspect statement he has uttered. . . The president apparently believes he can weather an impeachment trial (AND be re-elected) through sheer repetition of easily disproved falsehoods. . . "

Lies . . .

. . . and liars . . .

(from http://www.notable-quotes.com/l/lying_quotes_viii.html#TFdvTrWgKz8CRzBM.99)
The only lies for which we are truly punished are those we tell ourselves.
V. S. NAIPAUL

There be three degrees of this hiding and veiling of a man's self. The first, closeness, reservation, and secrecy; when a man leaveth himself without observation, or without hold to be taken, what he is. The second, dissimulation, in the negative; when a man lets fall signs and arguments, that he is not, that he is. And the third, simulation, in the affirmative; when a man industriously and expressly feigns and pretends to be, that he is not.
SIR FRANCIS BACON

Exaggeration is a blood relation to falsehood and nearly as blamable.
HOSEA BALLOU

We cannot teach children the danger of telling lies to men without realising, on the man's part, the danger of telling lies to children. A single untruth on the part of the master will destroy the results of his education.
JEAN JACQUES ROUSSEAU

Nothing is rarer than a solitary lie; for lies breed like Surinam toads; you cannot tell one but out it comes with a hundred young ones on its back.
WASHINGTON ALLSTON

The most intangible, and therefore the worst, kind of lie is a half truth. This is the peculiar device of a conscientious detractor.
WASHINGTON ALLSTON
