Speak lies to his truth

It isn't 'his' truth it's THE truth.

Hym "I didn't claim to be the president. And if you're talking about Trump he literally IS the president. You are literally just saying the opposite of what I'm saying regardless of whether or not it's true. If they can just 'speak lies to his truth' then our politics isn't real. At all. There is no reason for them to even talk to eachother. They can just sit at home and vote by mail. I guess, no reason to talk other than to coordinate their lies. That's why I am not being charged. Explicitly. Because I would be both exonerated and receive the credit I deserve. And the people violating and/or allowing the public violation of my rights would meet the end they deserve."
