The way these ads blatantly lie to people to fearmonger votes. Here in GA, a PAC is pushing a flat out lie about Sen. Jon Ossoff. It just irks me how people have what amounts to a computer in their hands and rather than use it to research these "claims" they end up falling for the lies. Which lie?

"Sen. Jon Ossoff voted to gut the child tax credit." Senator Jon Ossoff did not vote to gut or eliminate the Child Tax Credit. In fact, he voted in favor of expanding it. Remember the American Rescue Plan Act of 2021? Yeah... go check the record and see who voted for what. Sickening bastards...

My take from the Smith hearings: To be a GOP senator today, you have to be a lying piece-of-shit, who puts loyalty to party & our lying piece-of-shit president, above their oaths to the Constitution & their obligations to tell the truth & do what rights to the American people! Repost if U agree

Even when caught dead to rights in a lie, the response is to double down on the lie even when there's proof AND witnesses who have contradicted and confirmed what was true? The GOP have truly lost their way, all to protect a man who's not even worthy of that protection.

This is what the Lincoln Memorial Reflecting Pool looks like today after a $17M deliberate fuck up and the orange felon won’t stop until he destroys everything. Makes me sick to my stomach every day.

Even with the media standing together in what seems to be a united front, how long does the unity last? When/if access is given back to those “banned” media outlets, do they go back to business as usual or do they maintain their stance? Inquiring minds wanna know…

Why make it polotical? Because YOU made it political. When you blindly, blatantly, and ignorantly put the fool back into office after being warned using everything short of smoke signals that this would happen, you get exactly what you asked for. This is what no accountability looks like.

Democratic strategists: Ahhh! What's the right message!!?? Where do we moderate!?!? Jon Ossoff: This administration is horrible. I hate these people. We should put them in jail. I'm pissed Voters: This guy is cool Strategists: I can't figure it out!!!!!

You know Republicans are scared when they have to flat out lie and fearmonger to garner support. Take the Mike Collins/Jon Ossoff race in Georgia. Here we have one candidate who is showing you what he's accomplished since being in Congress (Ossoff) while the other needs a PAC to put out hit pieces

on Ossoff (he's more worried about his makeup than helping Georgians) or the lie that he voted for a 2K tax increase (he didn't). The claims are EASILY researchable. The fact that a PAC has to make up stuff to get people to vote one way tells you just how scared (and desperate) they REALLY are.

Why wouldn't you want someone who created a bill to fight sex trafficking? Who doesn't want someone fighting the drug companies who are trying to charge an arm and a leg for medicine? That's what being a legislator is supposed to be about. Not fattening their pockets but working for Americans.

Why the fuck is Hakeem Jeffries meeting with Jared Kushner? He holds no official office in the US government. Being the president’s son-in-law shouldn’t get you that kind of access, but apparently it does. Just when you think they’re poised to do something meaningful, they do something like this.

“You wanna know what it feels like to be a truck driver in Trump’s America? There ya go… it just keeps going up and up and up and up… I’m out here to make money for my family, I can’t just eat that cost.” #Trumpflation 🚚⛽️😳

This is the reason I’ve always said and maintained that this country isn’t ready for the truth. This truth. Because it attacks the belief of what Americans have been led to believe… that this country has been right about all its decisions, including racism.

📌All the bigots asking why the mayor of New York City is presiding over the remembrance of the 9/11 attacks, need to shut up and explain to us why they support the traitor who attacked us Jan. 6.

Metro: The late Rob Reiner was given a standing ovation at the Emmys after winning a posthumous award for his performance in The Bear, nine months after his death. This makes me happy and knowing it will piss Trump off, makes it even better! #ProudBlue #Pinks #SheShed

There’s no place for political violence in America. Our prayers go out to Dr. Acton and her team, and we hope that this moment is yet another wake up call regarding how important it is to make sure that democracy is a process by which we address our political differences peacefully.
