        His new BS lawsuit over companies coming together to not advertise on Xitter is trying to distract from the disinformation fomentation and republican PAC funding

          Bingo, and sadly it’ll probably work to distract the majority of people away from that underlying issue.

    Whenever I see depressing news like this I always, I make sure to spend a bit of time to stop at a random conservative sub (r/trump, etc), and post a comment with a bible quote or logic that contridects whatever the current top post is at the time and enjoy the fireworks

    My dad’s bummed one of his only friends is a nut job who shared the (or other?) fake X videos of Harris to my dad, 100% serious and sure it’s true and cannot be told otherwise. My dad needs new friends. (He’s technically my ex-crazy uncle, but my aunt divorced him for obvious reasons decades ago).

    And yes as I say it out loud, I realize Xvideos of Harris has a second meaning but I’m now laughing too much to correct my phrasing.

    Under scrutiny?

    Oh no, that’s not nearly severe enough of a reprimand. Im bravely speaking out to demand he be slammed by lawmakers!

    Jfc, a media outlet asks a presidential campaign a question, and the answer from the official spokesperson is “your phone must be fucked up.” It’s amazing how fast standards seem to be unraveling within the US political system. Even random student groups have better judgement in their communication with the media, this is like a spokesperson for a shitty frat house talking to Mother Jones.
