Yeah that’s basically what Harris did during the debate. It was great!

Barely. It’s almost impossible to fact check against the gish gallop technique, because Trump just spits out a dozen lies a minute.

The thing that sucks is that it’s so effective. It literally lead to Biden dropping out of the race. Trump spewed a bunch of bullshit really fast in their debate and Biden just froze up because it was so much.

I liked how Kamala handled it in their debate by basically saying “Look, I told you this guy was going to spout a bunch of nonsense.” You’ve gotta call out the technique when you see it.

The statement said the woman was an “ardent” Trump supporter who had wanted to vote for him before she died.

What’s so fucked up about the MAGA news bubble is that they push these false stories of Democratic voter fraud, so their own supporters think that cheating is ok because everyone is doing it. Then these chucklefucks find out the hard way that election fraud - contrary to what Fox News has told them - is taken seriously and has very serious consequences.

Tim Walz would play support and would never rage at his top laner for feeding.

Rep. Ted Lieu, a Democrat from California, in his own tweet on the news wrote, “The first step towards fascism is when the free press cowers in fear.”

I don’t know if this is the free press cowering, or the free press being bought out by rich people. Either way, it’s some bullshit.

That’s what makes their messaging so effective. They just mislabel all sorts of shit so words lose all meaning.

The text of Garza’s resignation letter is below. For context, Dr. Soon-Shiong is the owner of the paper who purchased it in 2018.

Terry,

Ever since Dr. Soon-Shiong vetoed the editorial board’s plan to endorse Kamala Harris for president, I have been struggling with my feelings about the implications of our silence.

I told myself that presidential endorsements don’t really matter; that California was not ever going to vote for Trump; that no one would even notice; that we had written so many “Trump is unfit” editorials that it was as if we had endorsed her.

But the reality hit me like cold water Tuesday when the news rippled out about the decision not to endorse without so much as a comment from the LAT management, and Donald Trump turned it into an anti-Harris rip.

Of course it matters that the largest newspaper in the state—and one of the largest in the nation still—declined to endorse in a race this important. And it matters that we won’t even be straight with people about it.

It makes us look craven and hypocritical, maybe even a bit sexist and racist. How could we spend eight years railing against Trump and the danger his leadership poses to the country and then fail to endorse the perfectly decent Democrat challenger—who we previously endorsed for the US Senate?

The non-endorsement undermines the integrity of the editorial board and every single endorsement we make, down to school board races. People will justifiably wonder if each endorsement was a decision made by a group of journalists after extensive research and discussion, or through decree by the owner.

Seven years ago, the editorial board wrote this in its series about Donald Trump “Our Dishonest President”: “Men and women of conscience can no longer withhold judgment. Trump’s erratic nature and his impulsive, demagogic style endanger us all.”

I still believe that’s true.

In these dangerous times, staying silent isn’t just indifference, it is complicity. I’m standing up by stepping down from the editorial board. Please accept this as my formal resignation, effective immediately.

As I’ve been filling out my ballot this year and looking into the local candidates, I’ve found there to be a lot more dog whistles than usual. Lots of candidates seem to be reasonable but then will make it a point to refer to themselves as a “patriot”, which I read as someone who is willing to overthrow our government in order to instill the candidate of their choice.

15 minutes at a closed restaurant. Still harder than he’s ever worked before.

When he was born, the Philippines were still part of the United States.

Unfortunately, many people are left out of the “some of us” group and are trying their damnedest to get this dipshit elected again.

There’s a can?

Lol I thought you made that quote up, so I had to check the article. He actually said that lol.

Anyone know how to watch the interview without giving Fox any traffic?

One of JD Vance’s key policy advisers, Aaron Kofsky, has for years posted extensively on Reddit about using a variety of drugs, including cocaine and opiates, under the username PsychoticMammal. In the posts, which are as recent as three months ago, Kofsky wrote about experiencing withdrawal from and trying to “kick” tianeptine—also known as “gas station heroin”—and kratom; advised other users on how to transport drugs on domestic flights; and called Vance “a Trump boot licker.”

Lol these guys all know the guy directly above them is a piece of shit, but that doesn’t stop them from supporting them.

Sapiens and Homo Deus are both such good books. Lots of little anecdotes like that we’re just so fascinating.

Calling the AP left just shows how full of shit this bot is.

Imagine committing crimes and then whining like a bitch that the justice system is releasing evidence of those crimes. Maybe don’t crime so much next time?
