[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Walz is claiming he messed up dates on being at Tiananmen Square. How can you mess up dates?

It is a memorable event. Very memorable regardless of when it took place.

Either you were there or you weren't. Weird.[/quote]

It’s like saying you were at the World Trade Center on 9/11….but you were actually in Minnesota.

He’s a compulsive liar.

He does have a problem telling the truth.

And that’s a problem for any prospective VPOTUS.[/quote]

You’ve got to be joking - that was a non malicious lie while Vance spouted toxic stream of malicious lies - such as Trump saving the Affordabke Care Act when it tried hard to kill it twice and nearly succeeded and doubled down on the he’s that illegal  Haitian immigrants are eating pets nonsense and he lied about not supporting a nations wife abortion ban when he supported a  proposed nation wide 15 week abortion ban.

Then Vance refused to concede the truth that Biden won the 2020 election (dozens of court cases have rejected Trump’s claims of election fraud).

It is clear which VP candidate has a far more tenuous commitment to truth, [/quote]

+1. Not to mention which Presidential candidate.  Not sure why Republicans and the media are pouncing all over Walz when half of what comes out of Trump’s mouth is a lie. Double standards!
Within six months of Trump's announcement of his presidential campaign, FactCheck.org declared Trump the "King of Whoppers", stating, "In the 12 years of FactCheck.org's existence, we've never seen his match. He stands out not only for the sheer number of his factually false claims, but also for his brazen refusals to admit error when proven wrong."[105] In 2016, Trump suggested that Ted Cruz's father was involved in the assassination of John F. Kennedy.[106] He also accused Cruz of stealing the Iowa caucuses during the 2016 Republican Party presidential primaries.[107]
Trump claimed that his father had given him "a small loan of a million dollars," which he used to build "a company that's worth more than $10 billion,"[108] denying Marco Rubio's allegation that he had inherited $200 million.[109] A 2018 New York Times exposé on Fred and Donald Trump's finances concludes that Donald "was a millionaire by age 8," and that he had received $413 million (adjusted for inflation) from his father's business empire over his lifetime, including over $60 million ($140 million in 2018 currency) in loans, which were largely unreimbursed.[110]
Trump claimed repeatedly on the campaign trail in 2015 that the actual unemployment rate of around 5% "isn't reflective [of reality] ... I've seen numbers of 24%, I actually saw a number of 42% unemployment". PolitiFact rated this claim "Pants on Fire," its rating for the most egregious falsehoods.[111] Jeremy Adam Smith, writing for the Greater Good Magazine, said Trump's falsehoods may be "blue lies," which are "told on behalf of a group, that can actually strengthen the bonds among the members of that group". As a result, he posited, Trump's dishonesty does not lose the support of his political base, even while it "infuriates and confuses almost everyone else".[112][113]
In 2015, Buzzfeed News' Andrew Kaczynski reported that Trump, despite having claimed to have the best memory in the world, had a history of "conveniently forgetting" people or organizations in ways that benefit him. In July 2016, PolitiFact's Linda Qiu pointed out that Trump "seems to suffer bouts of amnesia when it comes to his own statements". Kaczynski and Qiu cited examples of Trump's stating he did not know anything about former Ku Klux Klan leader David Duke, despite statements showing he clearly knew who Duke was.[114][115] Over three months before the 2016 presidential election, Trump claimed it was going to be "rigged".[116]
