On 09 Nov 2022, Mike Powell said the following...

For the most part, yes. Democrats do lie, but not at the rate that
Republicans and conservatives do.

 MP> Biden did not do that and actually increased the lie after the White

So in the second case, he did take corrective measures after being informed
of his mistake. How many times did Trump do that?

Trump is much less relevant as a political force, but is still quite relevant
historically. That Republicans only stopped supporting him after his picks
performed poorly does not mean that those same Republicans supported him
through all sorts of other things.

 MP> So you will need to find another Republican to fixate on.

Nope. That you don't support Trump now doesn't mean that you didn't support
him for 4+ years.

Jeff.
