Yea, the oil industry lied.

"It's not valuable, and it never has been. And what's more, the makers of plastic — the nation's largest oil and gas companies — have known this all along, even as they spent millions of dollars telling the American public the opposite."

No way... Big Oil lied to everyone just to increase profits at the expense of human lives & the climate? Say it ain't so 😱

A newly unearthed video of Vance talking about "women who can't have kids." is highly criticized. He said, "clearly, this value set has made me a miserable person who can’t have kids because I already passed the biological period when it was possible. And I live in a 1,200 sq ft apartment in New York and I pay $5,000 a month for it.” Comments: "I don't think I've ever met a bigger d-----bag in my life." "He just has this weird thing against women who don't have children. It's bizarre." etc.

I’m sure the Trump campaign is going to release that video of the altercation at Arlington any time now like they promised 5 days ago.

They only get away with it when media stops asking them about it, which has already happened, so they are getting away with it.

This is a pretty succinct and pithy summary.

They can deny this but they own it. It’s his project. That is Trump’s MO when he says he knows nothing about it, it means that he is steeped in it.

Trump Is Planning To Use 'Project 2025' To Build a Russia-Style Oligarchy in the United States

Speaking of election interference, Republicans are working hard at it:

“Attorney General Paxton is using his position of authority to harass and intimidate Latino non-profit organizations like LULAC, Latino Leaders and LULAC members,” Juan Proaño, LULAC’s CEO, told CBS News. “It is evident through his pattern of lawsuits, raids, searches, and seizures that he is trying to keep Latinos from voting.”

“ ▪ Among those who plan to vote for Vice President Kamala Harris for president, 88% say they will vote for Stein.”

This is the important part: voting for Harris will have SIGNIFICANT impact on House and Senate (as well as state) races.

Remember, to pass significant legislation, Harris needs a Democratic House and Senate.

It not enough to just get her in as President. Republicans would just do nothing (as they’ve tried to do under Biden).

A right-wing pressure group, the National Federation of Republican Assemblies, has come up with a theory that Kamala Harris is not qualified to serve as President of the United States–based on the SCOTUS Dred Scott decision of 1857.

What does Dred Scott v. Sandford say?

"A free negro of the African race, whose ancestors were brought to this country and sold as slaves, is not a "citizen" within the meaning of the Constitution of the United States."

Another Republican Sex Offender Who Is A Friend of Trump

This election is becoming less and less about specific policies, and more and more about keeping evil people away from power.

Fox "News" Jesse Waters admitted to banging the intern, while married to the mother of his twins, after conning her into his car by deflating her tires like the creepy psycho he is.

"On an episode of his panel series The Five last week, the Fox News host, 43, said he once "let the air out of" now-wife Emma's tires when he "was trying to get [her] to date" him.

"She couldn't go anywhere. She needed a lift, I said, 'Hey, you need a lift?'"

Ohio is boasting about removing tens of thousands from voter registration roles. I better check mine; I'll go to the Ohio Secretary of State website to check on mine, at voterlookup.ohiosos.gov/

Oh. Ohh. Ohhhhhhhh.

It’s either Harris/Walz plan to lower drug prices or GOP’s Project 2025 that strips the government of the ability to negotiate drug prices. The choice is pretty clear. There’s more to Project 2025 than 900 pages published thus far. The secret part of Project 2025 is the most insidious.

J.D. Vance accused Amazon CEO Jeff Bezos of funding Black Lives Matter to encouraged them to riot and burn down brick-and-mortar competitors alongside the largely peaceful protests in the wake of the police murder of George Floyd. Vance made that unsupported allegation in 2021 and further stated that businesses that are most connected are devoted to destroying our values, also benefit financially from it,”

I will never buy a Tesla, ever, because of Elmo’s support for Trump.
Neither will a lot of other people.

Boycott Tesla.

Texas Republicans TURNED DOWN FOOD to feed kids. Yes, you read that right. The party of family values thinks kids should go hungry.

“Months after Texas turned down millions in federal funding to feed more than 3.8 million school children over the summer, a top Biden administration official visited Houston and San Antonio this week hoping to convince state leaders to participate next year.”

Biden is literally begging Texas to feed kids and Republicans are not doing it.
