Why do people lie?

Especially about something so easily proven. Of course, this example is another Republican...but I do not think lying is a party thing.

So...why has lying become acceptable in our society? Where have we failed? Is this a family issue? Or lack of community? Or lack or morals? Or lack of religion? Why has lying become so normalized in our country?

 

[Dribble]

Doesn't surprise me no one cares. Or has an idea of why. Or what to do to change it. Same mentality as all the US issues...nothing we can do. It isn't me.

There's a remarkable silence from the Repubs about the completely fictitious resumé of Santos.

Correction to the above, it's not clear that his name is even George Santos, his entire life story is fictitious. This is far more than an exaggeration on a resumé.

The party is full of people who say shit is true in the face of overwhelming evidence that it's not.

The silence from republicans isn’t remarkable. At this point it’s typical.

SAD!!’

Google has links to various studies that say Chinese, Americans, Turks and Indians are big fucking liars.

Google is a search engine. It has links to everything.

They didn’t have much to say about Jeff “Bulldog” Gannon visiting the White House.

The usual suspects will NEVER comment on that whole episode.

Where was / is their outrage???

Lol, at least he deleted that stupidity.

 

[dkovic77]

Because you’re liars.

Ohhhhh do tell. So good to see Linus again, new name? What happened to the last one?

Buy too many of the DJT cards?

 

[dkovic77]

The OP, an American, asks why the USA has become a country of lies.

Answer- americans are liars.

Which part are you having trouble understanding?

America has the best social control program in the world!

Sure, you’re nearly as murderous to each other as Rwanda, but you have it pretty good, otherwise.

All you have to do is believe!

It’s the best collective lie in the business, I’d say.

Hmmm… please do tell. These lovely generalities, while quaint, don’t really do all that much.

 

[schism666]

Your replies are at best, rudimentary trolls.

The USA is the best-controlled and most successful band of sheeple in History.

All you have to do is Believe in The American Dream et voila! A new Chevy for $39 biweekly!

Best liars in the game.

pipe down, lying lance.

Because these days telling the truth about anything will get half the country to hate you and harass you.
Its also more popular to lie, it gets cheap likes and attention from all the like minded jackals.

There's a defamation case going to court that involves a major mainstream news outlet. While deciding if the matter should go to court the judge asked the lawyer for the media outlet about what was said, the lawyer's defense is "well, she's not reporting news its opinion and commentary"

So a news outlet is admitting they're not an actual news outlet.

It gets better, the person's statement was "they literally did this" the Judge said that means they overstepped opinion and said it was fact. Lawyer "they didn't mean literally when they said literally" Judge "is there another definition of literally?" This would be fun if heard in the voices of Cruise and Nicholson ala Few Good Men, but in reality, this is where we are. News media stating they are no longer reporting news to avoid defamation and libel suits.

If you're old enough to remember all the tabloids that would be at the rack at the checkout counter like National Inquirer with all the ludicrous stories like Bat Boy and pictures of 'aliens' with the presidents, that is now what we watch and consider news. The mainstream media is going to soon to be forced to do what wrestling did and say its not a sport, its entertainment.

When that happens...the same people will still watch people like Maddow and Carlson and think everything they says is fact.

Wait this is a Tucker story?

No details, got it. Thanks for playing.

 

[dkovic77]

Lavecroft makes a good point.

The USA doesnt have a credible mass market newscast.

Upside: makes it easier to manage the sheeple.

No there are credible sources… and then there is all of the “reporting” on the propaganda network and their offspring.

Because news wasn’t covered the way they wanted, ie in favor of their position regardless of reporting, just easier to make new sources so those MAGA sheeple have a place to hear the word.

 

[dkovic77]

If Comrade 77 believes half the big lies, is he only half a liar?

Look how funny you think you are, tell me a big lie I believe in? Just one.

 

[techiedude71]

This Santos guy is a riot. To say he is a liar is one thing. He’s a goddamn nut.

Perhaps candidates should undergo a psych evaluation lol.

Long Island loves it’s looney politicians.

 

[RobDownSouth]

Lying has become the "new norm" for MAGA nation. The former president taught them to put their morality in a box, coz winning was teh only thing that mattered. Lying is second nature to them now, because their opinion has more weight than established facts.

Santos might be a wacked out republican but makes no claims to Trump's idiocy.

Also, all politicians lie. All of them. This forum is a shitpail thanks to turds like you. So far left you see nothing wrong with your side. You suck and you are a failure and a hack. I know the threadstarter meant it the same way.

Such cucks for your shitty party. I have yet to come across a single scrub in this shithole of a forum that doesn't suck only their party cock. Fucking not American. NOT American at all.

And your solution is???

Just accept the lying liars that are the MAGAts???

And as RDS made clear: It isn’t just the politicians. The rank and file MAGAts have adopted lying as breathing to conform with their MAGAt leaders.

Democrats ARE objectively better than “republicans”

Full stop.

 

[techiedude71]

I am not the one whining all over like its the 6th grade. Am I? I do not know what a MAGAt is or an RDS you fucking child. You shill. Any self respecting human who's life ends up in the hands of politicians deserve nothing.

Keep bitching like a 6th grade child at recess. Lol. MAGATs? You sad shitbird. Get a fucking life outside this shithole forum you child.

So. no solutions then???

No denial that Democrats are objectively better than “republicans”???.

Nice spaz post though.

BabyBoobs even gave you a “like”.

tetchydood

 

[techiedude71]

Nono.. sorry that hogwash won't fly for you here. Even the dicks you suck ignore you. Try try and try some more.

This is what happens to a failed life who begs strangers on the internet for some kind of adulation. Any kind. Please notice me. I am so stupid I don't even have a single original thought. I suck my party cock. It's all I can do. I'm a fucking failure. Please notice me! Notice how stupid I am! I am not sure how to debate because I am so used to scrubs like me blindly agreeing.
