Notre Dame Joe Posted May 23, 2020 Share Posted May 23, 2020 2 hours ago, Danny Bateman said: What they lie about matters. For instance, Biden mostly lies about stuff that is really of no consequence to me personally, like getting arrested in South Africa or how many degrees he had. Trump lies about the seriousness of a pandemic, or effectiveness of wearing a mask, or potential health benefits of disinfectants, or why we can't see his tax returns. I could go on. All lies are not created equal. Trump is a malicious liar; Biden is generally benign. That's why statistics about 'lies' are useless. They don't know how to treat opinions. Those education-based lies Biden told are quite material and disturbing in that they can be easily fact-checked. 1 Link to comment

Yeah but not disturbing in that the amount of undergrad degrees he has has no tangible effect on anyone's life. Lying about, say, the benefits of prescription drugs or disinfectants, on the other hand, cost some very dumb people very dearly. 1 1 Link to comment

Where are they hiding all the racist quotes from Trump that would counter-balance Biden's? I can't believe a man doing business in New York City for 50 years doesn't have a supply of racial memes.

Like telling American born minority legislators to go back and fix their own countries. Or insisting a black man named Obama wasn’t born here. Or putting out an ad in the paper to use the death penalty on 5 black kids who were proven innocent via DNA evidence. 3 Link to comment

Silicon Valley runs what you see on your screens. IF you are a conservative you would notice the drip drip of liberal opinions that are completely unavoidable. Meanwhile much less provocative conservatives are censored by the shrouded elites without one iota of fairness. So that link pretty much shows that Trump makes indirect innuendo about racial tensions. Biden has a pattern of directly offensive remarks. But only one will be instantly forgiven and forgotten after his boilerplate apology. Link to comment

It shows he has the self-awareness to realize he screwed up and the humility to try to fix it. As opposed to the fake machismo and phony toughness from the other guy. It's also glaringly obvious Trump's brand of politics is 110% powered by stoking racial resentment. So I get the effort by Republicans to try to say BiDeN iS tHe AcTuAl RaCiSt but it's not going to work. Link to comment
