All you did was make the phrase "makes things up" more palatable. It still means the same thing. He lies.

- BryantD 2y agoI like understanding why people are making things up. Edit: sorry, I was a bit snarky there and I shouldn't have been. I was in fact splitting a hair there; it's a useful one for me but it's far from obligatory.
- lazyeye 2y agoWhat lies has Eric Adams said?
- ceejayoz 2y agoHe's currently indicted for criminal fraud. https://www.nytimes.com/live/2024/09/25/nyregion/eric-adams-indicted-corruption https://www.nytimes.com/live/2024/09/25/nyregion/eric-adams-...
- astrange 2y agoHe lies constantly. Like, he lives in New Jersey and pretends to live in NYC. He pretends to be a vegan. Also continually uses strange phrases in speeches that he made up, like "all your haters will be waiters when you sit down at the table of success", or saying "New York City is the Dublin/Istanbul/Port au Prince of America" whenever he's talking to an a cultural group.
- quickthrowman 2y agoHe’s a former cop and a current politician, I’d be surprised if anything he says publicly is true.
- kcplate 2y agoNot sure why you got downvoted, no one familiar with either profession can argue that it’s not a part of being a cop or a politician

- astura 2y agoHe's a compulsive liar. To give you one specific - he lied about accidentally firing a gun at school and then he claimed that a book that is available for purchase "never got to print." https://apnews.com/article/eric-adams-book-gun-e2179cd82fc41add3fb27120c6809b10 https://apnews.com/article/eric-adams-book-gun-e2179cd82fc41...
- sidewndr46 2y agoLet me remind you here that it is the job of the government and specifically the police to lie to you. So if he was lying, he was doing his job.
- betenoire 2y agoI don't know why you are being downvoted. My father was a cop, went through the academy when I was 15. I distinctly remember him explaining to me about how they are taught to lie to get people to cross their stories up.
- booleandilemma 2y agoEric Adams, the brilliant detective.
- s1artibartfast 2y agoI think the objection was to the centrality of lying and intent. My home contractors might lie to me, but that certainly is not what I hired them to do I'm assuming your father did more than just tell tall tales.
- s1artibartfast 2y agoThe job is not lying. If anything, lying is a situational means to an end. We can argue against that fact without resorting to hyperbole and twisting reality ourselves
- jcgrillo 2y ago> He lies. He's a cop turned politician.. cows moo, crocodiles chomp, and these critters lie. It's their nature.
- _heimdall 2y agoCops protect and serve. I'm not sure who you're thinking of.
- jcgrillo 2y agoThey protect their own and serve themselves. But they have the state backing them up and we don't.
- bdangubic 2y agosome don’t
- xcrunner529 2y agoLolol. Were thinking of the ones who break into your house and kill you thinking it was their’s, the ones that killed Breonna Taylor, chased a black man running etc.

- _heimdall 2y agoOh I know, I meant this to be sarcastic and didn't quite land that plane.
- _heimdall 2y agoWhoosh Too late to edit, but it seems the implied /s here should have been explicit.
- nixosbestos 2y agoJesus Christ thank you. I understand the political climate means the word "lie" is somehow a bad word but thank you for saying it. It's still a fucking lie. It might even be worse, because the bullshitters like that are often so oblivious that it makes it harder to tell they're lying. And yet, it has the same damn effects in every measurable way. It's a lie. Call it a non malicious lie, sure, whatever. But it's still a lie. I swear. The bar is buried under the fucking ground. In the US, anyway.
