K, human behavioral ***SCIENCE***; a lie left UNCHALLENGED is the truth to a person deciding

When a person is deciding something and they have two people in front of them that they think are credible (but one of them aren't) then here are some steps you have to do to neutralize a BOLD face bastard liar.

1. When it's your turn call what the said a lie or damn close in a FORCEFUL way and be specific so they can't weasel out on terminology
2. Say WHY it's a lie and use as 2 -3 facts OUTLINED...
3. Say what they say again is a lie..for instance (again sir, what you said was false)
4. BE QUIET!!! Let them sit in silence, looking at the person like they're a nut

That HAS to be done otherwise the lie stays floating out there

You do that 2 - 3 times the liar USUALLY stops their crap BUT...BUT someone like rMoney who has been a pitch man for so long and USED to getting away with litany lying.

1. Do the above but STOP them DURING the litany....
2. Let them know there will be consequences like fact checking or time out (dealing with kids)
3. Refer to fact check or some credible source then be quiet...

Your take?

If you call out a repig's lie, they'll just cook up some "evidence" that you're "lying". And repigs have the money to fund bogus studies that "prove" their lies are "truth" and your truth is "lies". So now the False Equivalence game starts and no one knows the real story.

Sorry for all the air-quotes, but that's what happens when you write a post that has both of the words truth & repigs in it.
