Via Angry Staffer:
#Trump said the government will pay for IVF — he’s lying. The GOP just killed the IVF bill.
Trump said Mexico would pay for the wall — he lied. You paid for the wall.
Trump said tariffs will pay for his disastrous spending plans — he lied. You’ll pay for those too.
I grieve for the students of Apalachee High School in Georgia and their families, including those slaughtered and maimed in today’s shooting.
I also propose that we name the massacre the way we name legislation. Since it was in his district, let this be the Representative Mike Collins School Massacre of 2024. He is a gun-toting, voting-machine-shooting extremist. For information about his background, here is a Wikipedia article about him. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Mike_Collins_(politician)
Big Journalism is engaged in a parody of fact checking at this point.
Trump gets ho-hum corrections -- often granularly parsed to give him endless benefits of the doubt -- and the fact-checkers don't even pretend to get to every lie.
Democrats get granular parsing, too. But the goal is to find falsehoods and never, ever give the benefit of the doubt.
Fact-checking is a sadly broken both-sides (even when one is lying) enterprise.
