I'm headed to Upstate NY next week to visit with old friends. Although we moved 23 years ago, we were there for 11 years and still keep in touch with many folks. One of the events was to have dinner with a gal that my wife went to school with and of course her husband. We hung out together dozens of times back then and always had a great time. So we've known this couple for 34 years.
Last week her husband, I'll call him John here, commented on one of my FB posts. I had posted about how Biden is losing it, as demonstrated most lately by his war story that keeps changing. John commented that 'Trump has lied 12,000 times', and my response was a simple: "Nope." So he linked to a newspaper article claiming it 'has documented all of his lies'. I read the article and it referenced an ongoing university project, and read a couple of their claims. Basically the logic behind this study is that if something isn't accurate, then they deem it to be a lie.
So I responded to John, that his post was inaccurate because he was incorrect on the source. "See how that works, John?"
His response: "Did Trump lie or not?"
Me: "According to the study logic, you both did."
My wife got a text from his wife this morning dis-inviting us to dinner.
