This is the season of lies.

We watch with fascination as candidates for the world’s most powerful job trade falsehoods and allegations of dishonesty. […]

News organizations such as The Associated Press and PolitiFact dedicate enormous resources to separating candidates’ truthful wheat from their dishonest chaff.

But if we’ve come to expect and even joke about office-seekers who seem truth averse (“How do you know a politician is lying?

Do it more often.....

How do you think they get elected?

Its part of the job description.

Most of them are lawyers, figure it out....

If their mouth is open, they may not be breathing, but 100% they are lying...
