FactCheck.org considers Trump "King of the Whoppers." "In the 12 years of FactCheck.org's existence," the Annenburg Public Policy Center team wrote, "we've never seen his match."

The Washington Post's Fact Checker says 70 per cent of Trump's claims are found to merit "four Pinocchios," the worst rating. "Trump makes Four-Pinocchio statements over and over again even though fact checkers have demonstrated them to be false."

Fact checking has become a public service.

How about Hilary? The "13 minutes of straight lying" went viral this week. A Globe and Mail columnist admitted bias for Clinton and opined Saturday that the clip showed her policy shifts as secretary of state over the years and dismissed it as the usual career politician slipperiness but not lying.

"Facts all come with points of view," wrote David Byrne. "Facts do what I want them to."



Whether it's four long noses or none, King, you and I both know that on issues both minor and major, Hillary and Trump both lie. It's the nature of politicians. So who cares? What is important is what they will do in office in the future and the only way to judge that is what they have done in the past.

I'll take the devil I don't know, but who isn't part of the ruling clique that has made such a cock up of things over the last 30 years, than the devil I know who is armpit deep in that shit.

The world cries out for such: he is needed & needed badly- the man who can carry a message to Garcia
