    Plus if he said IVF but really did IUI, most people don't know what IUI is but know what IVF is. IUI is like the JV version of IVF btw. Most couples who do IVF usually do a round or two of IUI first.

      I can imagine saying IVF is personal to you because you had fertility challenges so you relate to others that do too. Did he ever claim his kids were the result of IVF?

      No, but he and his wife did undergo fertility treatments and he brought it up in the context of IVF. It's sorta like saying you carried a weapon of war (when you didn't go to war). The words aren't there, but the implication is. That's the definition of weasely.

      And the DNC still introduced him as Command Sgt Major the other day.

      The saying, "Lite is just one damn thing after another," is a gross understatement. The damn things overlap.

          Oops. Yes he did.

          In April, the Tim Walz for Governor campaign office mailed out a fund-raising letter in an envelope that read: “My wife and I used I.V.F. to start a family.’’

              I'm just picking one and looking into it, where did Walz say he was a head football coach? He was a coach of a football team. Does this mean the rest of your list is made up? BTW don't forget Trump had over 30,000 documented lies between 2017-2021. That's a lot of bullet points.

              AFAIK, he never did. But, just like the other weasely things, he said he "coached a football team." Campaign literature showing "Coach Walz."

              He was a volunteer, unpaid, coach.

              Again, what he said was not really a lie, but the impression....

                Not to play defense, but we used IUI and IVF (for our first kid) and I can tell you 90% of the time when the topic comes up with friends or family we just summarize it all as "we used IVF" since it takes some time to describe how IUI is different. So I can see why they wouldn't specify IUI in the mailer.

                  I get your point, but the misinformation impression I find your list is the same as his approach. Now I can't trust George's lists! 😞

                    Yeah, but...As a politician, he knows that words mean things. IVF and IUI are different. Sergeant Major and Command Sergeant Major are different. Head coach and assistant coach are different. Europe and Iraq are different.

                    See a pattern emerging?😄

                      I really love the scrutiny here. It's nice to see an appreciation for the truth, finally. (30,573 lies in 4 years)

                      He WAS a command sergeant major, and most clips have him saying "I was a command sergeant major" which is accurate.

                      Yes there are a few clips where he (or normally, someone else says to him) "you are a retired command sergeant major" which is not accurate since he retired at as a sergeant major.

                              I was Brad Pitt when I got married. I'll retire Rowan Atkinson, though.

                                  It does seem rather odd to spend such time parsing statements, act indignant when he didn’t correct someone else’s misrepresentation, then go pull a lever for Donald Trump.

                                  Only non-witches get due process.

                                    It seems to me when it comes to Trump's statements, @Jolly usually just say "I know what he means." 😄

                                      Nope. I know what I'm getting in Trump.

                                      Lower taxes, less regulation, lower energy prices, less illegals (Vance has the best idea on those)and judges. And bud, it's ALL about the judges.

                                      I'll take some hyperbole (that's what you get from Trump, seldom do you get the outright lies such as the Biden Crime Family) and put up with the media circus.

                                        I'm totally with you on all of that Jolly, except to me it's not hyperbole, but it's lying, adultery, selfishness, and overall immature bullying that prevents me from voting for him. Not that it matters or he cares, but that's why. I won't even mention the crimes, convicted or just charged. It's a shame, too. Most of his policies, the judicial appointments, and his alpha leadership would be a great legacy, there are just so many swamp stains on it...

                                          And I know my first sentence seems like I'm exaggerating. I'm not... those are objective observations from anyone who sees or reads what he says.
