Statistics, as Mark Twain said, are pliable. Pete F demonstrated that in the 10 "lies."
I suspect the 15,000 lies Trump has supposedly told are a result of much plying--a mish-mash concoction of twisted stats, Trump's errors, mistakes, opinions, exaggerations . . . I also suspect that if anyone was frivolous enough to search the number of such "lies" that Schumer, Pelosi, Schiff, Obama, CNN, MSNBC, Chris Matthews, Don Lemon, Any Cuomo, etc., applying the same standard applied to Trump of what is a lie, that all of those folks and entities, and just about any other politician, would have told many thousands of such "lies."

My spin is so good that you are not able to show how it is wrong. |

Pete might engage you in one of your circular debates because he has either not learned the spin away brings you back to the beginning where black and white are shades of gray and mere opinions. I have learned it’s pointless because it just goes on until either the person you debate with gets tired of the game or it is back to square one. The beauty of a game is you can choose not to play, but spin on brother. |

And yet you choose to play (somehow under the pretense that you're not playing), but even so, you are unable to point out how I was wrong.
I might also point out that this post is your way of playing YOUR game. Just say stuff. |
