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.
There is not and never will be anything called “post-truth”.
They’re just liars.

Trump ponders if we should nuke a hurricane. [Insert literally anyone else’s name here] thinks that’s probably a bad idea bUT iS iT?
You’re got to take both sides seriously. If you don’t you’re a part of the woke, East coast liberal media elite and that’s just like, really bad.

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).
I nominate Venus, I hear it’s nice this time of year.

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.
otherwise the right would scream persecution.
Don’t worry, they’ll do that anyway.

Spoiler: Vance lied a hell of a lot. And I didn’t even have to watch to know this.
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.
