Lies and Lying Liars 0

Thom marvels as to why CBS agreed not to fact-check J. D. Vance during the recent debate and then catalogs (some of) Vance’s lies.

Republican Family Values 0

Writing at the Las Vegas Sun, Mary McNamara suggests that Republicans should keep their grubby little propagandas off of her and others’ families. Here’s a bit:

So on behalf of parents everywhere, I would like to respectfully request that Republicans — including but not limited to Sen. JD Vance, R-Ohio and Arkansas Gov. Sarah Huckabee Sanders — stop trying to drive yet another wedge into our already divided nation by suggesting (and, in Vance’s case, outright stating) that people who have children are superior to those who don’t.

Because honestly, you are giving parents a bad name. And what with the school shootings, the lack of subsidized child care and the current attack on reproductive rights, not to mention the fact that Christmas will arrive in stores Nov. 1, we have enough to deal with.

The Undecided 0

In a longer article in which he wonders why Kamala Harris does not have a wider lead in the polls, Robert Reich asks a question which I find well-warranted.

Behind the information asymmetry lie racism and misogyny. I can’t help wondering how many Americans who continue saying they “don’t know” or are “undecided” about Harris are concealing something from pollsters and possibly from themselves: They feel uncomfortable voting for a Black woman.

Follow the link for context.

How dare you attempt to get out the vote in a non-partisan manner frolics.

One more time, “social” media isn’t.

Indeed, it seems increasingly anti-social, if not actually sociopathic.

How Stuff Works: Party over Country (Updated) 0

Rat:  We need to fix everything that's wrong with this country.  Goat:  Yeah, I agree, so I sketched out this possible solution to some of our problems.  Rat:  Yeah, this looks like it could work.  Does my side win?  Goat:  This isn't about what political party wind.  It's about solving real problems.  Rat:  So you've wasted everyone's time?  Goat:  What am I missing here?  Rat:  We want victories, not solutions.
