No shit!

I think most people know that’s a derisive nickname and not a fact by now. I’m not in the running for VP on a National televised debate, so I can call him a silly name. I never said it was true. 🙄 Stop acting like I said, “no, seriously, he actually fucks couches! It’s true! Spread that fact around!

Sorry, as a woman, my nerves are pretty raw after watching and hearing that misogynistic pilgrim spew lies for over 90 minutes. And my nerves have been raw since the maternal death rate skyrocketed after they took away women’s reproductive rights in red states.

Really, dude?

The few times I've seen anyone make any attempt to correct this particular misinformation campaign, the replies would be "Okay fine, but I don't care. We don't like him, so shut up I'm going to keep saying it and trying to get as many people to think that as I can because my bad behavior doesn't count because they're bad people." as everyone downvotes them into oblivion.

Just like with every other tribalism-inspired sequence of misinformation that gets spread around here like we've become some kind of bizzarro 4chan/facebook amalgamation. Go ahead, write a nice little plea about how it's completely different and totally doesn't count when it's us, the good guys, doing the bad things.

It's dumb name-calling there are more important things to point out than that

u/Eusocial_Snowman Oct 03 '24

It's a promise shouted to the world that you're in the habit of manipulating and lying for petty shit in order to further your goals.

Yes, there are more important things than an entire generation being radicalized into having an aggressive lack of integrity. There's always something more important than anything.

Vance was correct in explaining why that “fact check” was incorrect. Funny how that part got cut out.

u/MonsieurMisanthrope Oct 02 '24

It didn't get cut out, but he was wrong. Legal is legal whether it makes you happy or not. (See legal tax loopholes that keep the rich from paying taxes.) Fixing the immigration process is important, but there will likely never be agreement on how it should be done.

You can do legal things illegally. Like you can legally drive but if you go 164 miles an hour it’s illegal. What Vance was pointing out is the “legal” program they were suing to fly these migrants in was being defrauded and used illegally. For instance each person needed a sponsor and they were accepting applicants with no sponsors which put the federal government on the hook for the bills. This is why the program was haulted, fraud. Facts matter and that’s what Vance was trying to communicate.

u/MonsieurMisanthrope Oct 02 '24

Yeah, you don't understand English. The program is legal. Defrauding it is illegal. Driving is legal. Speeding is illegal. CBP One is still available. There are places where it is not available. Facts do matter. You lack them.

u/bgar0312 Oct 03 '24

So it’s been defrauded, so that would make it an illegal activity. Thanks for clearly that up. CBP one will soon be uncovered as bullshit too.

Except they were literally not wrong. Congrats on the lack of a law degree.
