You don’t fight fire with fire, you fight fire with water. You don’t fight lies with lies, you fight lies with truth.
Actually, you do fight fire with fire. You use fire to create a brush line to cut off the fuel source of the fire you are fighting.
Well that’s not fighting fire with fire is it. What are you fighting fire with?
Baking Soda (because the swamp rats are so greasy)
Well, you can work harder and transport thousands of tons of gallons of water to put out a large bush fire, but unless you work ahead of the fire and create a brush line your efforts will be futile.
This is an example of working smarter, not harder.
To translate this into the administration that President Trump appointed... He could have put his effort into going after all of these shady characters (fighting fire with water), or he could keep them close to him so he could know exactly what they are doing (fighting fire with fire).
I think you're just being indirect to avoid the obvious.
Create as many brush lines as you want - they're not going to put fires out.
'Fighting' a fire necessitates attacking it. What you are describing is just, what, corralling it? And even then, presumably your example is only applicable to certain types of fire - like bush fires? Not house fires et al.
If you want to put the fire out you are going ot have to use something that is not also fire.
I don't know why on earth you would even attempt to argue otherwise.
Same with lies. You don't show people the truth by telling opposing lies.
"You don’t fight lies with lies"
Information warfare, misinformation is necessary. (Q)
Aka lies
The father of lies spawns all lies
