He just admitted to _all three_: (1) putting his foot in his mouth, (2) talking shit, and (3) not giving a damn about either. ---

JD Vance has let it be known that it’s perfectly OK to openly lie about people, in order to advance your political agenda. And they’re not even ashamed about it. ---

> [@Cheesesteak](#): > > Let’s be 100% clear about Mr. Trump.

My bolding. As with the example of Clay Higgins, whose threat against Haitians was reported but will likely now be dropped since his boss Mike Johnson has decreed that we are Moving Forward----the centrist media not only practices “sane-washing” but also “lawful-washing.” Let’s just pretend that we _don’t notice_ that Trump and Clay and their ilk continually boost the idea of committing violence. ---

> [@Smapti](#): > > Ben Shapiro says: I HAVE NO IDEA WHAT A VICE PRESIDENT IS Same as every political pundit/politician that has blamed a problem on the “Harris administration” or talked about something that happened or didn’t happen “under Harris” or push back against her campaign claims by saying “she’s had the last 4 years to do that, why hasn’t she done it yet”. It’s like they still haven’t fully switched gears yet. They understand that Harris is running, but they haven’t figured out that they can’t just Find & Replace Biden with Harris. I do wish the Left would push back against Trump’s claims the same way. The right should be insulted every time Trump claims he’s going to do something that he, lying right to them, promised he was going to do last time he was elected. ---

They know this is bullshit. It’s just the lie that they are promoting for the voters. They HAVE figured out that they are running against Harris. They’re just counting on the voters believing their crappola that they are spewing. After all, why not? It’s a lesson they have learned well; There is no lie outrageous enough that the voters won’t lap it up if it’s repeated often and forcefully. ---
