The discussion was about who lies more, the right or the left.. because THE LAPTOP! A thing that had wild accusations made regarding the content on it. Even the story about how it came about was incredibly fishy. That the laptop exists was a bit surprising. That the laptop didn't include any of the remarkably illegal content accused isn't. That someone OP'd a thread about who lies more the left or the right (cough... the left! the left!) because of the laptop... well it really isn't surprising, but it would have been decades ago.But WikiLeaks is not an American political entity, so they don't align with either the left or the right on this topic. However, some of the information they revealed is relevant to the discussion.
It is well established that Republicans and Democrats bend the truth, mildly fib, and make with some haymakers. That isn't in dispute. What I would consider in dispute is how in the heck this is even remotely important relative to Trump and the incriminating and/or costly lies he has told. Anyone remember Fox News and Dominion? Giuliani and the poll workers? Several political folks that are going to trial for the fraudulent state paperwork regarding being electors that they weren't? The state of Arizona and the bamboo? All of the convicted and January 6th?
It isn't remotely a contest. It shouldn't even be a conversation! Yes, Dems and Repubs lie. Trump is neither. Trump isn't a liberal, isn't a conservative. He is a habitual liar who speaks the truth on so rare occasions that him saying the sun rises in the east leads to a Snopes fact check.
