>I just took a look at a long list of lies by your current President. The idea that one side tells lies, and the other only truth is part of the problem here.

>I just took a look at a long list of lies by your current President. The idea that one side tells lies, and the other only truth is part of the problem here. >You can't argue that it's some interpretation, or just half of the picture or anything like that. It's simply a bunch of words phrased as a fact but they never happened. "Russian collusion" appears to fit this description, yet I still read about it every day. The entire political game is composed of stretching the facts to control the narrative. If you see it as one-sided, you're not paying attention.

> The idea that one side tells lies, and the other only truth is part of the problem here. Your divisive thinking is the problem here. Someone said that Trump lies, they didn't say "Republicans lie and dems don't," but that was somehow your interpretation of the statement that Trump lies (which is true of any president, yet you and I both know in our heart of hearts that he lies more than anybody by an overwhelming margin).

  I believe the parent was mistakenly interpreting "lies told by your president" (emphasis mine) to be a #NotMyPresident kind of attack from a citizen across the aisle as opposed to an observation from a non-citizen. It sounds like the parent thought gp was a democratic who was insinuating that the current president and his political party are the only president and party who've told lies so egregious compared to those told by any other president from across the aisle that they're the only ones of consequence. That's what I assume, but you know what they say about assumptions.

    That's funny, it didn't cross my mind at all. I said your president because I'm not from the USA, that's all.
