5. White lie. A harmless or trivial lie, like, “The dog ate my homework,” or, “No, I didn’t eat all of the cookies.”
4. Bald-faced lie. A lie that is told obvious, shameless, and without any attempt to conceal the deception. For example, “No, officer – this is not my dime bag of weed,” while holding said dime bag of weed.
3. Big fat lie. Generally reserved for couples. “No, I didn’t go out with the guys last night: I was at a PTA meeting.”
2. Lying to yourself. There’s too much to unpack here, but I’m pretty sure you can come up with a couple.
1. Government lies. Next level professional lying that can do more damage than all of the other lies combined.
Depending upon the context, the politicians that perpetrate these lies will either look dead serious or smile for the news camera as they tell them. Also, many politicians started out as lawyers, so there’s that.
The list of government lies is far too long for this post, so I’ll highlight a few recent ones:
Donald Trump – Blaming Ukraine for starting the war on Ukraine. Source, CNN.
Joseph Robinette Biden II – On promising not to pardon his son, Hunter. Source, BBC.
Barack Obama – Falsely Claiming that Obamacare Was “Absolutely Not A Tax Increase.” Source, ABC News.
Before talking to the press, maybe the politicians need to be hooked up to a modified polygraph machine that shocks them when they tell a lie? Nah, that’s a terrible, stupid, inhumane idea – they would all electrocute themselves in public!
On the other hand, it would be top notch entertainment.
