I watched the VP debate. I noticed - later - that the word lie has been applied.  Look up the word lie. You're met with the qualification of "intent to deceive".  If a person truly believes in their heart that 'something' is true and they tell the 'something' to another person, it cannot be a lie.  There is no intent to deceive. e.g., 'Secure' border: Having help at hand.  One person has an emotional value while another will identify with the 4th Amendment.  Secretary Mayorkas prefers 'helping hands'.

Inflation (pronounced “tax”).  Government separating us from our money is a tax.  A tax is something that is a result of a government action.  Inflation is a result of government action. Neither action has anything to do with the value of a product.

Fact check.  Who has the authority to check facts?  Is there a control board somewhere that grants the authority?  (Orwell 1984.)  And if; facts checked come out wrong? Margaret Brennan was so shamed in her fact checking that she did not do it again.  “Facts” have relevance to our life experiences and emotions. Before Columbus all of the fact checkers believed the world was flat.

Aside from the debate, 'woman' is another word.  A man who THINKS: People are out to get him is paranoid.  A celebrity loves him has erotomania.  Falsely about his own greatness, has delusions of grandeur. Unshakable thoughts in something that's untrue is delusional. That he is a woman, has a mental disease.
