America lost its moral compass decades ago. Let's not forget Rush Limbaugh's role in promoting the lying, conservative, Republican culture.

Vote blue, America! The world will thank you! 💙

[CowboyVet]

You can't expect honesty from people who even lie to themselves.

Australia should have an open door asylum policy for Americans as atonement for inflicting Murdoch on us. SA as well for musk.

If Trump won in 2020 then why is he running for a 3rd term?

[elaineisabelle]

We must get the lying Republicans out of office, especially Trump, stop rewarding the GOP Maga!!!! It's disgusting, evile and vile. I'm voting blue 💙💙💙💙💙

First you have to make people question what is actually true so That a fearless leader can be the only truth, or fascism cant succeed. The moderate left and right need to unite against it.

It's been a gradual thing over decades, in segments on National Cable shows The Democrat could say Water was wet and the Republican could say that baked Sand was wetter and the media would both sides it by going "The debate continues."

He lies because it gets him airtime. The best thing for you to do is stop showing his picture and stop calling him by name.

Newt and Rush started this even before 2009

[cecilelaforce]

I've voted cross-ticket all my life. But will never vote for a Republican again. Ever.
If they don't know what truth is, they are unfit for ANY office.

[therealzilch]

I'd say this was a new low, but the Magas broke my political lie meter some time ago.

"If Biden is elected, the stock market will crash." Donald Trump. “ S&P 500 ends at fresh record high, as Dow scales 43k for first time” Reuters 14/10/2024. Nothing Trump says is true.

[Mister_Grey_]

Pity the nation whose people are sheep,
and whose shepherds mislead them.
Pity the nation whose leaders are liars, whose sages are silenced,
and whose bigots haunt the airwaves.
Pity the nation that raises not its voice,
except to praise conquerors and acclaim the bully as hero
and aims to rule the world with force and by torture.
Pity the nation that knows no other language but its own
and no other culture but its own.
Pity the nation whose breath is money
and sleeps the sleep of the too well fed.
Pity the nation — oh, pity the people who allow their rights to erode
and their freedoms to be washed away.
My country, tears of thee, sweet land of liberty.
Lawrence Ferlinghetti

Every yes or no question is an essay to the GOP.

"With Kamala leading the way, America shines bright—bringing unity and strength to the USA and the world, one heart at a time!"❤
