Well fucking finally. That shit floods my FB feed, every third post, and not once has any video been presented.

Now I want to know how they got 2,000 people cleared to go into a private hanger at DTW.

Kamala comes out against "price gouging" for groceries.

https://www.independent.co.uk/news/worl ... 97288.html
Any companies that break the new limits on price gouging would face “harsh penalties” from the Federal Trade Commission, The Washington Post reported.
So the price of ramen goes up too fast ay Kroger, and somehow triggers some threshold with some AI and software that probably doesn't exist because it would have to take into account about 100 variables, and then decide that malfeasance was done, and the FTC will fine Kroger, monetarily. Which means in order to pay it, Kroger will raise food prices across the board and this time it wont trigger the watchdog software.

Sweet!

I saw that last weekend when my daughter attended the event. Not sure why attendance for her at a rally in a stronghold would be questioned. Political games.

For some reason the campaigns are waging a war trying to show the other side has no support. If you're voting based on who you think is more popular, you should not have the right to vote.

On social media, I've seen the following two additional viral examples:
-there was a woman claiming a huge win for Kamala by comparing a rally for her versus a rally for JD Vance. Not exactly apples to apples.
-Some far left person, like JoFromJersey posted a picture of a mostly empty arena for a Trump rally. It actually got #TrumpisDone trending. Then videos of the same rally started coming out 6 hours later when it actually started and the arena was sold out.

News aggregator, every single day, has a "fact checking" section. It is 96% "this thing that trump/vance did was an evil lie." No one is checking kamala or.... harris? I don't see him getting much bad press so don't have his name drilled in yet.

Except I saw something about horse semen, which I assume is fake.

And leaving tampons on boys' restrooms in schools. WHich is................... maybe a bit much, to put the best possible face on it.

Get a new aggregator.

Walz is under fire for exaggerating his military record. So is Vance.

Meanwhile, Kamala didn't have a great weekend as even CNN is bashing her recently released economic plan, which includes the government placing price limits on groceries.

I just use Google's news page. And 75% of the "checked facts" are snopes. They just don't bother with D lies.

Both of those entities are pretty far left, so that would be your problem.

Google has been under fire the last few weeks for intentionally interfering with searches on Trump and Trump's potential assassination. Instead of giving you stuff about Trump or the incident, it's been feeding people news or links to Harris' campaign.

I asked previously, but nobody answered and maybe that IS an answer, but have we ever had a VP that really got anything done? I know there were some genuine good ones, in terms of people, but they don't really do shit, do they?

And yes, Walz and Vance aren't exactly going to be in the VP HOF.

No, it's true. He lies constantly.

Although, I really wonder how much of it is just his way of speaking in hyperbole. He still lies, but I don't think we should count the "The best", "The greatest", and other such phrases.

Even without those, he lies all the fucking time. He lies about the election, he lies about himself, sooo many lies.

No argument.

But you still kind of live in the fairy tale that the other side doesn't lie just as much. WHich is what the original point was... MSM fact checkers favor the left. Just another piece of evidence on top of the mountain of evidence.

You're the loon that thinks one side is... like.... strictly in it for the good government.
