    I didn’t have the patience to watch the whole debate, but one part I did see was where JD Vance said he wasn’t going to entirely blame illegal immigrants for high housing cost, then like 20 seconds later lists illegal immigrants and Kamala Harris as the number one and number two reasons for high housing costs, respectively. Every single answer from him I watched, he lied at least once.

      Are you surprised though? He’s an admitted liar saying that if he needs to lie to get America’s attention then he’d do it.

        Not at all, just commenting on how refusing to fact check is affirmative action for Republicans, and anything less will make them pitch a temper tantrum, as we saw after the last debate.

          Love the callback to TNG era Ferengi being turned on its head in this instance.

    Had a discussion with an old relative that insisted housing is expensive because “houses are nicer now”.

    Aliens sound much more reasonable

      Yeah, but municipalities won’t let contractors build smaller and cheaper homes.

    yeah it’s totally the illegal aliens and not the corporations buying up hundreds of thousands of units a year.

    Since it’s aliens buying up the houses, and we don’t like aliens, that means we can increase taxes on owning houses, right?

      You talking about the guy who says legal immigrants are eating pets?

        Given the latest wave of required GOP features, he must have finally admitted to killing a family pet with a shovel.

      He did do a good job but he lied constantly.

          Sadly no. In politics you can lie all you want as long as you do it charismatically.

            The robot? You thought the robot that can’t order doughnuts, or talk to people, that robot did charismatic lies tonight? JD is a lot of things, charismatic is not one he even approaches.
