    In this century Republicans have controlled the house 8 out of the last 13 congress's, and have held both house's 4 to the Democrats 3. Republicans have had total control, President, House and Senate, 3 times to the Democrats 2; and now they are getting ready to make that 4 to 2.

    The two most dysfunctional House of Representatives in modern history have been the last two ... controlled by Republicans.

    Makes me wonder who's side you're on.

    Everything. If you think “congress” is so bad; more often than not it’s republicans at the helm. And lately the tRumpublican led house is as bad as it gets.

    This thread is about quotes about lying. Interesting how Trump supporters desperately try to derail it.

    The headline for this thread reads only: "QUOTES:"
    I see you have only replied with a "complaint".

    Most people will help a blind person or a cripple, but most people have little patience on someone with loss of hearing.

    Who told you this thread is about quotes about lying? There are no parameters put forth in the OP nor the title.

    You might want to ask Mods how this forum works. The topic of the thread is set by the OP. Not just by the title.

    I think the OP adequately describes the fact that many people like you are deceived. And I believe that your attempt to change the topic is NOT that you weren't aware of it, but that you sense it is a solid point, and that you are the victim of it.

    That's what the OP expresses.

    I don't believe for a second that MAGAs didn't understand what it was about. I think they understood and are aware that THEY (i.e. YOU) are the victims and promoters of deceit. And, for that reason, they (you) attempt to change the topic.

    We live in the post-truth era, and ALL those quotes highlight this fact.

    If you thought we believe that you think the thread was just about random quotes.... well... Let's just say that funny.

    Which specific words?

    I’m not MAGA and I understood the OP was looking for quotes. He didn’t specify what type. All sorts of types of quotes have been put forth.

    Read again! Try to find a pattern.

    I thought it was obvious. And I'm pretty sure the OP thought so too.

    as i read the pompous posts of those attempting to derail this thread, i thought to myself "seldom has my sig seemed quite so apt".

    by the way, it's oscar wilde and, no, i'm not going to bother to copy it into the body of this post.

    You can't read another's mind. Has it occurred to you that your thinking is in the minority because most who have added their replies have put forth quotes from just anyone on anything. Now enjoy and don't be so picayune.
