trump and vance keep pushing the lies. Unbelievable.

They lie to for sure. However, let's not be under the illusion that places like the view, a teenage sex prodcast, and 60 minutes are fair and equitable with how they cover both sides.

trump and vance keep pushing the lies about storms. Unbelievable.

There seems to be this narrative of...

The towns that were leveled by the storms have not been totally repaired and rebuilt yet!! It's been over a week!! A FULL WEEK!!! WTF KAMALA!!??

Okay....

Do I even need to unpack all the reasons this is so moronic?? This is not an endorsement of Kamala Harris. It's just pointing out that if we are going to be critical of her, then let's stick to the things that are actually within the realm of possibility. I mean, my God, even the super-Christian people should know that Jesus said he needed three full days to rebuild a temple! And that was just ONE building!! And he was JESUS!!! The recovery and rebuild are going to take some time. It always does.

I'm going to need a fact-check on this one.

Great! She's sitting for interviews now with idiots from the VIEW, a sex podcast, and 60 minutes and looking really stupid in the process, which is exactly why she wasn't sitting for interviews in the first place even in her safe space.

Right now if I'm Trump or Vance I wouldn't sit for interviews with those media types either. They "fact-check" with their own lies. So why give them the platform? Did you watch the Vance/Walz debate? The moderators literally fact checked with lies.

It is actually a really smart strategy, and it is the one being deployed by both sides. We are 12 years into Trump being a known quantity. If his actions after last election didn't cause a voter to drop him, there is nothing Harris is going to say in a 60 minutes interview that is going to change that voter's mind 30 days prior to the election. Further, 60 minutes and more traditional media are full of readers and viewers that are actively seeking out political news. Those people also have made up their mind.

Harris and/or Trump will win by turning a non-voter into a voter. Those voters are not seeking out political information, so you got to go find them where they are. Podcast interviews in non-traditional politics spaces are more likely to be heard by the potential non-voter. It is also more likely to have clips go viral on various social media platforms which could read this sect of non-voters. Harris going on Call Her Daddy, All the Smoke, and the View and like is a good plan. (Trump is also doing this with various right wing podcasts and youtubers, I just cannot think of them at the moment.)

At this rate I fully except to see Harris on Hot Ones and Tim Walz showing up on some random Fantasy football podcast talking about which running back to start next week.

the guy is an effing moron. The amount of complete stupidity in today's politics is astounding. We have this dude wanted to take the constitution and set it on fire and then we have MTG believing that Dems are controlling the weather.

We are 100% living in Idiocracy.

With North Carolina and Georgia being hit hard by a hurricane and now in need of a ton of help, could Democrat state officials slow roll the get out for Republican voters in these blasted counties?
How bad would that look?
