You guys are now arguing just to argue. It's not like Trump has the gestapo to back such a play.

404 lying not found. Per your link:

There’s actually an entire legal doctrine protecting corporations from liability for false promotional statements—it’s known as “puffery.”

Did you even read it?

Heh. Trump blew past the line between puffery & fraud a long time ago. Either you recognize that he's a con artist or you're getting conned. There's no in between.

Nearly a century later, the Federal Trade Commission (FTC) wrote a policy statement on deception, saying they would not hold a company liable for obvious hyperbole.

"obvious hyperbole" being key words. unless we shouldn't trust any company's public statements at all, in which case neither should their shareholders.

Be that as it may, he didnt lie under oath. Indus is just pulling shit out of his ass.

It was a redirect back on topic. Should Trump actually be impeached it will be because of his amazing con artist ways.

Pelosi? She won't take the shot unless she can get a clean kill, I figure. She's got the hounds on him now so we'll see how it works out.

Brett Kavanaugh’s testimony was explicitly refuted by multiple people who knew him at the time he was testifying about. He almost certainly lied under oath.

It would be better if conservatives just said they didn’t care about perjury instead of trying to pretend it didn’t happen.
Or at least admitted that they aren't actually binary on lying - good or bad. It really depends on how they feel about the subject of the lie. "ehhh that doesn't matter anyway, so who cares about a meaningless lie?" As usual, it's all about the feels from the "Fuck your feelings" movement. History has given us so many wonderful examples of projection.
