The truth is, Trump HURT the very people he promised to help.

Empty promises.

"I think that’s a little bit weird, frankly, given the fact that I really try not to talk about politics too much in the book”

This is, of course, another lie. His book is literally about the social safety net and how he believes (without proof) that it leads to moral decrepitude. If only we had a solution… like turning the poor into biofuel (he and Thiel were friends with someone who thought that was a great idea)

Again, he is good at PR. Describing what that PR means? Not so much.

"So if you’re hoping to read about a group of people that made Donald Trump or helped make Donald Trump president, then my book gets recommended.”

Except it isn’t. What REALLY got Trump elected was PR. The promise that something would happen that quite obviously didn’t.

That’s why Biden is President and not Trump. Tax Cuts? Rich. Cabinet positions? Rich. The rest of us? We had to wait for Biden.

You would think, as opioid abuse features heavily in his tome of blaming the poor, he would have at A TOKEN BILL dealing with opioids, abuse or both.

But reviewing the bills he supports comes up empty. As we say in Texas (well, not really, but people think we do) he is all hat and no cattle.

Vance describes, in his own words, what his book was about: "It’s about a culture that increasingly encourages social decay instead of counteracting it.”

Really? They’re words, but what does it mean?

I’m a little more hesitant to say he ever converted or even had faith. Nothing that I have read seems to indicate he “got religion” — it seems to be a show, another scam, PR — you have to do this to get that.

The month before he wrote, "BeyondD Libertarianism” — made a lot of points, typical Conservative bullshit, even mentioned God.

The year prior, Hillbilly Elegy was published. Part fiction, party Conservative mantra, it blamed the situation of the poor on themselves.

"But he eventually settled into an uneasy agnosticism, spent some time as an 'angry atheist,' then, many years later, in 2019, converted to Catholicism. He said five years ago, at the time he was baptized as a Roman Catholic, that he had 'spent a lot of his life buying into the lie that you had to be stupid to be a Christian' but that when he started to feel the pull of faith, the Catholic Church 'appealed most' to him 'intellectually.’”

Why you should vote for Harris:

• Women’s health
• Opportunity for everyone, not just the rich
• Decreasing our reliance on fossil fuels
• Jobs
• A healthy economy

These sound normal, and they are, but they aren’t sexy. They’re what we SHOULD consider normal. The government governing and not controlling our lives.

Moving towards a better future for EVERYONE.

Despite Vance’s protests about #DontFactCheckMe, when I reviewed the rules there is nothing that indicates this is true.

What WAS said is they CBS “expected the two to keep each other honest.”

Vance argued a racist trope that HAD to be addressed. It’s not fact. It puts lives in danger. CBS was being responsible to the community — something Vance doesn’t care about.

Vance had already said he makes things up.

We have to stop pretending that Trump/Vance are reasonable.

Vote Harris/Walz.

Here is the part that blows my mind:

“In it’s request, the state said there is no right to an ‘elective abortion’ in the Georgia Constitution, adding that the right to privacy doesn’t include abortion because it ‘always harms a third party.’”

There IS no third party. This is just pure bullshit.

Making shit up isn’t law. Assertion, even if repeated over and over, is STILL not fact.

The state STILL DOES NOT OWN a woman.

If you want proof, you may want to check out the 13th Amendment.

Constitutional right a state has over a woman’s body? Where is that again?

“In a court filing, Georgia Solicitor General Stephen Petrany asked the justices to “affirm basic constitutional principles” and put an order made by Fulton Superior Judge Robert McBurney earlier this week, which determined the state’s abortion law was unconstitutional because it denied a woman’s right to liberty by not allowing her to make decisions about her own body.”

Just a reminder that it was Trump’s legal team, not the DOJ, that pushed to delay this. They even went to the Supreme Court to delay it further.

This isn’t the fault of government, this is the fault of Donald Trump.

"FOR 60 DAYS PRIOR TO AN ELECTION, THE DEPARTMENT OF INJUSTICE IS SUPPOSED TO DO ABSOLUTELY NOTHING THAT WOULD TAINT OR INTERFERE WITH A CASE.”

The rule is to not bring indictments. Trump was already indicted. The DOJ is not breaking its own rule.

Trump wants people to go to prison for him.

Remember he didn’t pardon a SINGLE Jan 6th insurrectionist. Not. One.

He doesn’t care.

“Trump was asked whether ‘he trusts the process this time around,’ alluding to his refusal to accept the results of the 2020 election and attempts to overturn it.
‘I’ll let you know in about 33 days’”

Another Conservative for Harris.

“
"I believe that Donald Trump is not smart enough to be president," Edwards said. "He doesn't have the character and understanding to be president, and I think he poses a danger to American democracy, and that is because he has no regard for the basic institutions of our democracy, about rule of law or about separation of powers."

Trump STILL hasn’t released medical records from his Presidency.

“Donald Trump is dodging his pledge—following the July assassination attempt where he was wounded in his right ear—that he would “very gladly” release his medical records, according to The New York Times.”

They call the app?

Donald: “I will shut down all entries through Kamala’s migrant phone app. She’s got a phone app,” Trump said. “It’s meant for the cartel heads. The cartel heads call the app, and they tell them where to drop the illegal migrants. … It’s not even believable.”

Does he know how an app works? Does he even know that VP Harris isn’t the President?
