    Good God it’s all Vance.

    Actually listening to NPR earlier, fact checking guest said both sides have always lied, but GOP has always lied more even prior to Trump. JD on stage reminds me of those days where it’s told straight as a cohesive argument, is still a lie, but harder to detect because the lie isn’t told like a batshit conspiracy theory.

    Those kind of lies are the kind I hate most, although I guess America has shown that idiots will eat up even the batshit crazy lies…

    We’re in a post-truth world. The corporate media have normalized candidates that just stand there and tell lie after lie with little pushback.

    I don’t know how, or if it’s even possible, to get back to the days when lying assholes got treated like lying assholes.

    That’s a whole lot of Vance with, what should be, his foot in his mouth. Unfortunately nothing will come of it.

    Walz’ correction was his admitting he fucked up something. I guess they needed to “fact check” him on something otherwise the right would scream persecution.

    It’s a lot easier to not lie, but less profitable for the masters.

      I was actually pleasantly surprised by his admission to misspeaking, even though some pundits considered him unprepared for the question. Kind of a breath of fresh air hearing that instead of some distraction.

      Personally that moment made him a bit more relatable to me, contrasting with Vance and his stream of lies and excuses.

      Don’t worry, they’ll do that anyway.

    Most of the time Vance was lying or distorting everyone’s record. Falsely and with bigotry blaming much on immigrants. Typical Republican.

    I don’t understand what expectation do US citizen have of their government. If they literally supporting a genocide in Gaza, they clearly don’t care for human life and what they see is either Money, or Religious points.
