PS I've always assumed all politicians lie, I'm sure you don't think Pelosi or Bush Jr for example were some paragons of truth. Doesn't make it OK, but have some perspective.
Everyone lies at various points to some degree or another, ranging from well-intentioned to malignant, and it takes tremendous sleight of hand to pretend that they're even close to comparable.
> Cool, now do [1] Fauci...
[1] Lied that PPE had no value for the public which he admitted later he did to try to preserve limited supplies for healthcare workers. Lied about the possibility of a lab leak having been the origin of COVID19.
> [2] Bush Jr, [3] Pelosi
[2] Lied about Iraq having WMDs and being connected to al-Qaeda to start a war. Built a torture program.
[3] Used insider information to make money. Maybe also knew about the Bush torture program but didn't do anything to stop it if so.
If you had to rank those three, what order would you place them in?
Why the "but"? Are you justifying something? The difference between your framework and mine is that my framework statement ends with a period after "Doesn't make it OK."
