minus-squareᴍᴜᴛɪʟᴀᴛɪᴏɴᴡᴀᴠᴇ linkfedilinkEnglish-11•11 months agoI don’t even think he’s lying here. I mean, what he’s saying is not true, but he seems genuinely convinced that it is true. It’s very hard to change anyone’s mind about anything.
minus-square@CarnivorousCouch@lemmy.worldlinkfedilink18•11 months agoThis seems like a meaningless distinction for someone who has access to the intelligence apparatus of the American empire lol
minus-squareᴍᴜᴛɪʟᴀᴛɪᴏɴᴡᴀᴠᴇ linkfedilinkEnglish6•11 months agoYeah I hear he doesn’t go to those meetings or they gotta have pictures to keep his attention or something.
minus-square@Contentedness@lemmy.nzlinkfedilink11•10 months agoSo he’s not lying he’s just plain wrong?
minus-squareᴍᴜᴛɪʟᴀᴛɪᴏɴᴡᴀᴠᴇ linkfedilinkEnglish11•10 months agoYeah. I think lying requires intent. He has done plenty of lying. This was just a simple musing anyway, not trying to defend the piece of shit.
minus-squareJesuslinkfedilink2•10 months agoTo be fair, confidently lying is kind of his brand. Unless it’s about a crime he’s involved in. Then he’s a machine that spits out I don’t know, we need to learn more, etc.
