How about any statement told with the intent of the recipient believing something about the world that the speaker knows to not be true

So sarcasm is lying?

Can I ask a grammatical question? What does “as a country” communicate in the sentence that wouldn’t be communicated if it wasn’t there?

Gross. Nobody’s impressed by the Democrats’ “going high” anymore
