"Anything I did should be praised.”

Generally an unmoderated forum for discussion of pretty much any topic. The focus however, is usually politics.

Ever notice how Leo has no problem with painting politicians with the same brush based on actions of some, but takes offence when the same brush is applied to cops?
And then lies about what he said

"Ever notice how Leo has no problem with painting politicians with the same brush based on actions of some," exclusively when the topic at hand is the specific misdeeds of Repugs?
Repugs, Demoncrats, Unaffiliated, Muslim, Towel-Head; it makes no difference to me. I could cite many times, over the years where elected and/or appointed officials have been deceptive and abusive of their offices; not just in campaigning or bashing one another's deeds or misdeeds. But I won't.

What have I lied about?

I don't recall ever defending crooked cops. They rank up there with politicians.

I'm sure you could. As could everyone looking for misconduct. There is certainly enough to go around. Can you also name some honest, hard-working and capable politicians of any party? I can - from both major parties. Do you think a majority of all politicians of all types, levels, and parties to be "deceptive and abusive of their offices" and if so, do you think they are all equally bad? It's a yes or no question.

Didn't need to, you are all trump.
:lol:

Back to your idiotic "all" politicians lie. There are some who don't, you just may not be familiar with any from your party.
I don't know how old you are or how well traveled you are, but if you believe that, then you are stupider than I gave you credit for. Have you ever worked for the government where you had a security clearance? FWIW, I don't have a party.

Considering that most white collar and political crimes involve lying, this article indicates that it's far more a Republican problem.
Yessir, them Dems rank right at the top with the rest of 'em being part of the problem.

This only means that Dems had 62 more times at not getting caught.

And that doesn't count trump's crimes.
I give you kudos for that one.
I've been following this but so far haven't had any comments until now. I cannot understand what Leo is getting at when he asks billy if he's ever worked for the government or had a security clearance. I had a Secret clearance while in the Navy and also while working at Newport News Shipbuilding for ten years. I fail to see what working for the government or having a security clearance has to do with lying politicians. As for politicians that don't lie, or at least not on a continual and pathological basis, I will put forth Dwight Eisenhower, George McGovern, and Jimmy Carter. And I have never been registered with a political party. These days the only lying I do is around the house. I used to be fond of lying in court but it got to be somewhat precarious so I gave it up. And on occasion, I lie in wait.

It's what he does when he's losing
Trump: “We had the safest border in the history of our country - or at least recorded history. I guess maybe a thousand years ago it was even better.”
