    The militia story in WNC is false, speaking of "spreading lies".

    The responsible thing to do would be for Trump to make a public statement telling people to not interfere with rescue and recovery efforts, or interfere with efforts to help anyone in any catastrophe area, whether it's in the mountains or Florida or wherever.
    I don't know if they are Trump supporters or not, but statements from leaders do have an effect. Responsible leaders understand this.
    He doesn't necessarily have to admit anything, just give those who may be listening some sound and reasonable advice.

    No need to retract lies. Only to be smart enough to recognize them.

    It's amazing how the Leftists oppose criticizing the government all of a sudden.

    none of his lies threaten the country the same way the democrats have lied. The democrats have lied by telling us that the guy in charge is competent. He is not. Democrats lie about the border-people have died because of those lies. what people are in PRISON because of alleged Trump lies?

    What a novel concept. Imagine if The Following actually got upset and sent a message to trump loud and clear his lies about FEMA are unacceptable. What a different country it would be if they only rejected 25% of his lies. Like the "Big Lie." Or the lies about Harris being broadcast on commercials all over the country. Imagine if when you saw folks at a trump rally you weren't looking at gullible rubes who think Haitians are eating pets, trump is a successful businessman, or that he didn't corrupt the DoJ when he was prez.

    Seems like they have been. Or do you think the NC national guard is lying?
    Your whole schtick is to just deny or find some reason to argue. It really isn't necessary, and if you have been paying attention to the thread you are responding to you wouldn't have to ask.

    The militia story is a hoax. You don't even know that the NG actually made that report. It seems impossible, unless you believe the NG saw a credible threat and did nothing about it.

    It's a debate forum. Do you understand what "debate" means?

    Unfortunately people like Trump have every right to be a gaping A hole liar. The biggest reason he continues to act this way is because of the blind sheeple who fawn all over him. It seems the more he does it the more these people love him. Clearly these people have no morals or ethics. ¯\_(ツ)_/¯

    Yes, but what you do half the time doesn't fall into my definition of debate.
    Do you have credible information it's a hoax? I would like to see a link showing that it's a hoax. It might also be true and the individuals were being smart asses, but it was enough to have FEMA react.

    I don't need evidence proving it's a hoax, because one can't prove a negative. However (this is where the whole debate thing comes into play) you can provide proof, other than unverified claims by the media, that it isn't a hoax.

    Who is going to require it? Who is going to enforce the requirement? Get real.

    This part...

    "The biggest reason he continues to act this way is because of the blind sheeple who fawn all over him. It seems the more he does it the more these people love him."

    ...Trump could say water is wet and most Leftists would call him a liar.

    I'm amused at how you ridicule Trump voters, yet are fawning all over the WNC militia hoax as if it were the gospel.

    You cannot force politicians to stop lying - what will happen to these Americans who prefer a good lie from the sad truth?
