    Since you are so versed in figure of phrases you should be able to understand a hyperbole. But evidently that’s too complex for you, I’m sorry I’ll dumb it down next time.

      When did lies become hyperbole?

      You said something untrue and then tried to continue to justify it as if it were true. If you were indeed trying to make a joke by exaggerating that should have been your initial response to my question, but instead you run into it.

      You don’t have to dumb anything down, if anything you need to step it up a notch if you’re trying to pass off lies as truth 😛

      Edit: if you’re curious, what you did isn’t hyperbole at all. Hyperbole would be suggesting that Brookfield will own all the rental properties, or something along those lines.

      Trying to state that the government is planning to work with Brookfield to do this program isn’t hyperbole unless there is a grain of truth to exaggerate, which there isn’t. You can’t exaggerate a lie and turn it into hyperbole.
