Oh no we've been dared.  Still doesn't make the recording statement a lie.

And I didn't "dare" anyone.  So I don't know who "we" are.

Right?

No I inferred it so that makes you a liar.

For instance, if you say, “It is not true that there was voter fraud,” or try to refute the claim with evidence, you often perversely accomplish the opposite of what you want. Later on, when the brain goes to recall the information, the first part of the sentence often gets lost, leaving only the second. In a 2002 study, Colleen Seifert, a psychologist at the University of Michigan, found that even retracted information—that we acknowledge has been retracted—can continue to influence our judgments and decisions.

LOL that explains a lot.  I am going to stop explaining why Hillary didn't really sell 20% of US _______________ to ___________ or
give a "stand down" order at _________________.

If by my rules you mean simple fact, then you are correct.  So while I do not believe you to be a liar, you certainly must.

Yes and despite all of those attempts of mine, you still have a block. The fact that you can't see that the statement can't be a lie is a little astounding.

You responded as I was editing:


Quote:This is the kind of stuff I'd expect from some of the fine folks around here...but not you.  You know exactly what Trump meant and it's one of two things: He has tapes or he want's Comey to think he has tapes.  And if he had tapes and they supported him they'd have been released now instead of name calling tweets and the usual hyperbole that he spews.


But you can's see that as a "lie" for some reason...

Because it's not a lie.  If we are playing poker and I say, "You better hope I don't have the ace", what result of that hand could end up with me being a liar?  You can infer what meaning  you want, but the statement isn't a lie.  There is no statement of a fact.

That's a fine argument!

You are certainly having a fine day!
