technically both are doing the same amount of lying but person B is actively lying to you by including false information while person A is not telling you the whole truth by omitting it.
Yes, those are the same thing. The person you’re replying to makes some good points, but in a word-salad way.
They’re confusing something the president didn’t do as a non-action, but “not telling the truth” = “lying”.
I think (hope) what they were trying to say was the common saying, something like, “Judge someone more on what they do than what they say.” For example, if a president says “protect America”, like who wouldn’t want that? But when what they “do” is deport legal, non-criminal immigrants who have valid work and school visas, that is what you should be watching.
You’re correct but, I like to use both what they do and don’t do 🤷♂️
Wait- aren’t those the same thing in a way? 🤔
they are but they aren’t. for example.
two people stand in front of you.
person A tells half truths.
person B tells half lies.
which will you trust more?

I think the “half truths” make it a less apt comparison but I think using that riddle is a really good way to think about it!
