Why do people in authority (politicians, clergy, educators, et al.) lie?
POWER ..... the desire to have it ;the fear of losing it . They know they can get away with it because often their followers live in echo chambers and don't want to know an alternative . They believe that if they tell the lie enough times it becomes the truth .

Which is exactly why committed liberal dems set their hair on fire about a supposed Trump lie, but then have no comment on established incidents of lying by HC, BC, and Biden other than trying to excuse them.

I really struggle to understand that. If lying is bad, then it's bad for everyone. If a person is selective in their criticism, then it is plain that something other than a dislike of lying is driving the narrative.

Good morning, WG.
"It works that way for repubs too." That is certainly true. I was more referring to people on this board. I don't see the point in posting about Trump's supposed lie, but then being curiously silent about lies from BC, HC, and Biden. Either we re opposed to lying, or we just want to be critical of DT.

I'm still waiting for you to give me three examples of lies by Trump and Biden. You don't want to stay after school to work on this, do you?

Wayyyy too late for that, I'm afraid. I've done all the work so far. I know you would not want to pass up this chance to up your quality of work from the distressingly poor conclusion you reached about HC.

You did not complete the assignment. You told ME to find Trump's lies.

No, this time YOU list three Trump lies. You're so good at picking out lies; this is your golden opportunity!

But you don’t get to pass out assignments. Why do lib dems always want someone else to do their work? Nah. I’ve shown I can do the research. Now it’s your turn.

Took you long enough.
PS - Not just bad - far worse than that. Try attempting to overthrow the duly-elected president and continuing the Big Lie as devotees of Trump. It's inconceivable why you continue to support the madman Trump.

It's because you'd have to list lies by Trump, isn't it. Aha! And I can pass out assignments because it's MY thread.
YOU posted: Why have Trump and Biden repeatedly lied about all sorts of things? Then you mentioned three lies by Biden, but didn't bother to mention any Trump's lies -- and told me to find them myself.

He will NEVER list Trump lies, WG. Trump does not allow a negative truth told against him. His followers are keenly aware of that.

I did the research on bc, hc, and jb which you don’t care to address. You have no room to sermonize.
Besides, WG needs her chance at redemption.

Not on the basis of your poor work on the hc Kosovo fairytale. Really bad look for a retired librarian. We expected much better.
I mean REALLY! Aren't you terribly embarrassed by this swing and a miss? "Considering the extreme danger in the place where she was going and the prep taken, it would have been natural to exaggerate later." There is no part of that which is even close to being right. Did you do better work than that as a librarian? I hope so.

I did see that. You are basically saying you did research and yet missed the truth by a mile. Am I supposed to feel better now??? Like I said. It's a really bad look for a retired librarian. It's like a math teacher deciding that six times six equals twelve.
In fact it bears repeating. "Considering the extreme danger in the place where she was going and the prep taken, it would have been natural to exaggerate later." Unreal!!

Nope, I didn't miss the truth. Please read more carefully.
I'm sure you've never exaggerated later.

And now you are doubling down on it. Hilarious!! "Six times six DOES equal twelve!!"
Here. I'll break it down for you.
Considering the extreme danger in the place where she was going
There was no danger at all at the airport as the CBS video clearly shows. And there was NO "corkscrew" landing.
The prep was to have a nice collection of people there who all looked happy and relaxed.
it would have been natural to exaggerate later."
Only if you think "exaggerate" means, "to lie like a dog".
Do you see your errors now? NONE of it was valid.
