I was raised to believe that lying was wrong, that you should tell the truth. I am dumbfounded by the blatant lies by the Republican politicians since TFG rode down the elevator & announced his candidacy for President. I understand that we are all human & can exaggerate or erroneously say something not true, but this goes well beyond honest mistakes/exaggerations. Time and again it has been proven that voter fraud on a grand scale does not exist, yet many Republicans continue to say it does. There ought to be some way to stop these lies. Just because you don’t like the results doesn’t mean there weren’t free and fair elections. “A lie can travel around the world and back again, while the truth is lacing up its shoes.” And the more it is repeated, the more likely that gullible people believe it.

Aha “the former guy,” a Biden coinage - I hadn’t seen before.
