Another study shows that Republican politicians lie more than Democratic ones

In what is appearing to be more a trend than an aberration, yet another study has shown that Republican politicians lie more than Democratic ones, especially when it comes to lies which are so ridiculous, Pinocchio even says, "That sh*t's messed up!"

Based on fact-checking grades made by fact-checking site Politifact, George Mason University's Center for Media and Public Affairs has reported that since January of this year, 52% of Republicans' statements have been rated as either mostly or entirely false, while just 24% of Democrats' statements have been rated similarly.

According to this same report, the month of May has been an even more dishonest one for the Republican Party, largely due to the controversies surrounding the AP, IRS, and Benghazi. Through the first three weeks of this month, 60% of Republicans statements have been graded as false, while 29% of Democrats' comments have been graded similarly.

Of course, this must just be another case of the media being liberally-biased - that or perhaps research, statistics, and reality have a liberal bias.

This past Thursday, a friend of mine turned 50, so several friends of her's, including myself, all met up to celebrate the occasion. At around 9:30, a friend of mine and I both chipped in $5 to play some songs on the jukebox. Four hours and 231 skips later, we gave up on hearing the songs we had selected, and went home knowing we had just wasted $5. This wasn't the first time such a thing had happened to me (and many others), and due to that, I'll be boycotting jukeboxes. Why? The scam known as TouchTunes. You see, here's how the plot typically breaks down. A person (or group of people) downloads the TouchTunes app on his/her phone, consumes one too many adult beverages, and due to this, has less care for spending extra money to hear the songs of their choosing right NOW. That's the thing with TouchTun...

Trump's Lie Tally at the CNN Debate

1) "We had the greatest economy in the history of our country. We had never done so well. Every – everybody was amazed by it. Other countries were copying us." 2) "But the thing we never got the credit for, and we should have, is getting us out of that COVID mess." 3) "The only jobs he created are for illegal immigrants and bounceback jobs; they’re bounced back from the COVID." 4) "Not going to drive them higher. It’s just going to cause countries that have been ripping us off for years, like China and many others, in all fairness to China – it’s going to just force them to pay us a lot of money, reduce our deficit tremendously, and give us a lot of power for other things." (tariffs) 5) "He also said he inherited 9 percent inflation." 6) "No, he inherited almost no inflation and it stayed that way for 14 months. And then it blew up under his leadership, because they spent money like a bunch of people that didn’t know what t...
