    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.

      We need to send the assholes to space, where they can go fuck up some other planet.

      (Yes, I know what happened to the Golgafrinchans when they sent all the middlemen - or the ‘useless population’ - in to space).

    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.

      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.
