Good job, MAGA.

Trump was a democrat… then he saw that the democratic party sucks.

In this day and age you can hide things you said publicly you said it the past. In Komrade Harris’ case it was like 6 months ago then flip-flopped on. It shows up on twitter and now the Dems can take it off.

Yeah, that's not what happened. Trump lacks a moral soul. When he was being prepped by Steve Bannon and others to run for office Trump was told he needed to be pro-life and he said something like, "I support a woman's right to choose." He didn't know the difference. He doesn't have a moral framework.

For Trump's story to consistently be right, his enemies have to increase and the conspiracy has to get grander. In truth, he is the problem, not a spectacularly persecuted man of unparalleled righteousness and honesty. We have his very public life to learn this from.

Is there anything that Walz didn’t lie about?

Clearly this guy can’t be trusted about anything.

Trump just flip-flopped on RFK Jr. And more significantly, RFK Jr flip-flopped on Trump. Maybe you missed it.

I wasn’t aware that trump flip-flopped on his policy for the RFK Jr endorsement. Which policies did he change?

I assume you're just having fun, since Walz's alleged misstatements pale in comparison to Trump's lifetime of whoppers. The claim of a Chamber of Commerce award made nearly thirty years ago was corrected in the Walz campaign materials within a day or two after Walz received the letter. The typo was corrected to read "Junior Chamber of Commerce." And his wife received IUI (intrauterine insemnination), often a precursor to IVF. Only the most oblivious MAGA supporter (and regretfully, they are legion) would find these kinds of misstatements disqualifying relative to Trump.

Hmm... did he ever correct his retirement rank too?

[frank ryan]

It's funny that there is stolen valor talk. Trump doesn't possess any stolen or otherwise.

[PaloAltoCougar]

Another relatively minor error, really. He was in fact a CSM at the time he retired; the rank was changed after that. But really, focusing on this kind of errors, especially given Trump's disdain for the truth, is an effective way of getting Harris elected. Team Trump should focus on more substantive stuff, which I trust and hope it won't.

Bold strategy Cotton. Let’s see how it plays out for them:

Even NPR is saying Harris' DNC speech was full of BS... and the Dems on CNN called it the greatest speech ever.

12 misleading or lacking-in-context claims from Harris’ DNC speech

There were about a dozen statements that Vice President Kamala Harris made during her roughly 40-minute acceptance speech at the Democratic National Convention in Chicago that were either misleading or lacking in context.

They range from characterizations of former President Trump’s stances on abortion rights and Social Security to her plans to address housing and grocery prices.

Hmm... I wonder if they will be selling MAHA hats.

Well, that be dumb because I could see RFK JR setting up a department of health division promoting the use of crystals for healing and chiropractors for curing cancer.

RFK is like Russell Brand. That weird nexus of ex yoga hippie dippy liberal and right wing conspiracy theorist.

He'd be a fucking disaster, but he's got cool stories and Ted, he has hung with Epstein too!

I love Ted and would love to meet him sometime. But I don't think when it comes to politics he is open to identifying truth or changing the world view that gets reinforced constantly by twitter/x.

BTW, when is Harris or Walz going to do an interview? Anyone?

I wonder if how many times he has been out to Epstein's island... as many as Bill?
