      With over 20,000 false or misleading statements by Trump since his inauguration, it's possible that fact-checkers might have done some of them wrong.  It's equally possible that they have missed some.

        I honestly was expecting 1 every minute but good for him! Instead of fact checking for false or misleading claims they should mention what was true about the speech. It would make the life of the fact checkers much easier…...

          The rest was just nonsensical babble and rabble-rousing to appeal to the lowest common denominator voters.

            Of course, he exaggerates a lot. That isn't lying because people know he isn't being serious, but they count it as a lie. "I'm going to be the greatest President God ever created." But as far as you not being able to put anything in your own words… answer this: what did he lie about? Let's start with ONE thing, in YOUR words. Otherwise, it's just falling on deaf ears. You can't speak for yourself. You just follow like a little dog (a blind dog), lapping up everything that serves your confirmation bias, without checking it for yourself. There's a quote in the Quran that reminds me of. Cuz I'm sure you hate the BIble.

            Quran 17:36

            "You shall not accept any information unless you verify it for yourself. I have given you the hearing, the eyesight, and the brain, And you are responsible for using them." So let's just see if you can verify just one thing (with YOUR brain)... We're waiting in anticipation. That kind of crap is just a big fat nothing heap designed to make it APPEAR big, cuz it's a lot of words, but broken down it's totally shite.

              We had over 3 years of Russia Collusion.  Where were the fact checkers for that?

              Where were the fact checkers when Chris Cuomo said that it was a federal crime for regular people to read WikiLeaks? He's told countless lies, including him having COVID-19.

              MSM has told countless lies.

              Democrats have lied for decades.

                Let's start with some common sense. I'm going to teach you how an independent mind thinks. Let's take your first "lie," that Trump said Biden would tear down the wall, when Biden said he would not, on August 5th.

                Number 01: Biden is an empty vessel and he will cave to the mob (top Dems have already bragged about how they can persuade him to suit their agenda). When the mob is tearing down statues that are "racist" - what do you think they will target next? And do you really think Biden will say no? He always caves to the mob because that's how he stays in power for half a century.

                Number 02: Trump is the President of the United States, and he is privy to information that you are not privy to. Trump probably knows that Biden *said he wouldn't do that, but we all know how Democrats fuck you in the ass with taxes and shite education and high pollution and shoot little kids in the face because the President made them do it, etc. He may have information that you do not, media.

                Number 03: He could have been given bad information about what Biden said. Remember when Harry Reid said he was urging intel agencies to NOT brief the President and feed him false information? That was in public.

                Number 04: Lying about that is trivial anyway. Most people have already made their decision and it seems obvious that the Democrats as a whole and as a mob would definitely do that. It's OBVIOUS. There's no escaping it. So you can get all technical, but it doesn't matter, we all know that Dems say one thing and mean another. They lie all the time.

                Let's just end it there. You put nothing into context whatsoever, and you don't put anything into your own words. You just copy and paste, and it's just nonsense. That's why everyone is leaving the Democratic Plantation and Democratic States like NY and CA en mass. It's literally happening en mass and you pretend it isn't. That's why you lost in 2016, and in 2020, you haven't changed at all.

                  Let's not leave it quite yet:  Since this thread started on a topic of "false or misleading" statements, one should note that people are not "leaving California en mass [sic]."  A quick look at https://worldpopulationreview.com/states/california-population (as well as other sites, including census.gov) shows that the population of California continues to increase.  If people are leaving en masse, even more are arriving.

                  This reminds me of a restaurant review some years back that said "that place is so crowded, nobody goes there any more."

                      New York has not lost population, either, it just hasn't gained very much as it was the most populous state for over 250 years, until the 1960s.  Most of the growth has been in NYC.

                        How many non-citizens? Don't you think about that kind of stuff? It does actually matter.

                          AOC's district has a high population of illegals.  That is why she and others have been campaigning for them to fill in the census.

                          I made a thread about it a while ago talking about how New York state spends over 10x the money on sending illegals to college than for ALL services for veterans, first responders and their families.  That doesn't count all the other money spent on helping illegals.

                          Likewise California has a legal fund for illegal to fight deportations.

                          California spends more money on cleaning up shit, piss, vomit, and dirt needles than it does on helping the homeless.

                          Not surprisingly, California's every skyrocketing taxes, especially property taxes, have caused a lot of the homeless problems.

                          Texas and Arizona are getting a lot of businesses that formerly were in California.
