    OUR TEAM's lies are okay because they put THEIR TEAM in a worse position. The (formerly) great 60 Minutes until Dan Rather came back for ACT II.
    Men can give birth.
    COVID somehow jumped from a bat to a human...simply a coincidence that research on this virus was happening nearby in the same city.
    51 Former Intelligence officers...
    Trump put kids in cages (photos used were from Obama Administration).
    Hunter Biden's laptop....

    I BELIEVE!!! LORDY, LORDY, I BELIEVE in all of the above. Because Trump is bad.

    Have you honestly not figured this one out yet?

    Ya know, if I were to put photos of modern day Germany in a book about Hitler and Nazi Germany......that wouldn't actually therefore mean that the actions of Hitler and Nazi Germany were done by modern Germans. Because I had used photos.

    Kinda weird that anyone still goes back to something as debunked as this one, tbh.

    '

    Out of curiosity, do you think only one side believes its own lies?

    No. People choose what they want to and are willing to believe: Conservatives, Liberals, Black, White, Leftists, Far Right, et al.

    All people choose what they want to believe this is true. However, people have better or worse processes that influence how they make those choices. Fwiw that’s the problem imo.

    Trump: I didn't try to overthrow the government on 1/6/21.
    Walz: I was in China in June of 1989 (it was August).

    They all lie! They are all the same!

    Exactly this everyone has the right to whatever stupid opinion they want to hold but facts should be solid and unassailable. This world of alternative facts is just normalizing stupidity.

    One of these is not like the other. MAGA didn’t seem to mind the fact check on Walz about his time in China, though. Only when they go after their guy is it an issue because they know they’d have no platform if they weren’t allow to lie outright.

    Lying about the Dems, immigrants, trans people, etc. is the entirety of their platform outside of Project 2025.

    Memory is not the definite thing you think it is. Walz was in China the same year as Tianamen. I have memories of seeing U2 in the Rathskeller even though I got to UF a year later.

    i'm not sure if that's true.

    But, I am curious. You post the claim that the CBP One app was begun by Biden in 2023. I point out that it was actually begun in 2020 when Trump was president.
    And rather than "whoops, sorry about the mistake ..." your response is "your president is flying illegals into the country."
    Really? You think that's the way conversations should be conducted?

    Scrolling from thread to thread to thread. Repeatedly seeing Trumppublican leaning posters post absolute untruths......and then just walk away.

    Is it really the job of, well, everyone to police grown adults into at least trying to respect facts and the truth? To at least acknowledge that that is important? How has this dynamic become acceptable?



    * To be fair, I did see one Trump supporter admit that the thread he'd started was based on a total falsehood.

    Our red hat friends here want to reduce everything to both parties lie but only one national ticket complains about fact checking from neutral or unfriendly media outlets.

    If the President is flying them in then they aren’t illegal. Source: Stephen Miller.
