I'm seeing a lot of helpful discussion, and I'm learning a lot. It's been easy for me to skip over the hyperbole.

When I made that post this was in the main branch (e.g. starting at top comment and going down you hit this before any leaf): https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=43103830

  • But every thing stated in the comment you linked is provably true. It's certainly concerning, but I can't see a single statement they made with a dubious basis in truth.

    Are there any parts that you think violate the guidelines specifically?

    • The first sentence begins with "Trump lies through his teeth with every word"

      Love him or hate him, I would argue that there are indeed words Trump has spoken which are not lies made through his teeth. I would put that level of hyperbole within the realm of "dubious basis in truth".
