    There would have to be a consensus among the fact checkers before a public correction is made. Not a big problem IMO since most of Trump's lies are blatant and easy to prove.

    People misspeak. If someone told me 200,000 but I only heard 200 and it wasn’t repeated, I wouldn’t know if it was 200 million or 200,000 or simply 200.

    It’s like the people who keep the dead horse “you ain’t black” statement living, when Biden hasn’t only apologized, but clarified what he meant in that statement. If these are the shots you’re taking at Biden or reason to vote for Trump, sorry but it seems the bar for electability is set lower than I thought.

    Problem is how many of the lies will go unexposed like last time around. Clinton has never been proven wrong on Trump being Putin’s puppet by the way.

    You seemed to have misunderstood, Biden and Democrats want to blame Trump for the entire pandemic.
    https://www.politifact.com/factchec...den-wrongly-claims-trump-couldve-prevented-e/

    That isn't misspeaking, that is a lie designed to mislead and scare people.

    You can't be so blind as to believe the democrats don't use fear and ignorance to gin up their base.
    We literally have riots every night over the false narrative of systemic racism. That is a lie designed to spread fear and unrest.
    There have been countless stories for years calling Trump a fascist dictator who will have to be forcibly removed from the white house - only an idiot would believe that.
    Not to mention the countless efforts to delegitimize and remove from office a sitting president.

    You paint a very one sided narrative in your OP.

    I agree. The theatrics should be saved for televised congressional committee hearings.

    You must have missed the Muller investigation.

    When Mueller bagged criminals from Trumps inner orbit and a key Russian involved in the 2016 election too? That Mueller investigation? His investigation proves Trump is not about law and order if he surrounds himself with criminals.

    Exactly, it’s what happens when you type on a keyboard meant for Chinese women (aka all phone keyboards).

    Yes, it does. There is a direct contradiction between the meme and what you are saying now.

    Like any disaster or war in history, the sitting president is responsible for the outcome of the disaster. Bush didn’t ask for Katrina, Obama didn’t ask for the War in Iraq, why should Trump be spared of the inherent responsibility that comes with the job?

    Here's Biden explaining what he decided COVFEVE means: "When I decided to decide, when I made the decision, Jill and I, it was Jill and I made the decision… I made the decision"

    No, there isn't.

    You don't think propaganda can be truthful?

    It proved that the reasons for the investigation were political and made up.

    Response yes, responsibility no. No one held Bush responsible for deaths caused by Katrina, they did try to criticize his response. Biden is actively campaigning on blaming Trump for the COVID19 deaths. It is a lie.
