On Tuesday, I was part of a City University of New York event about economic perceptions, which was briefly disrupted by a protester yelling out that President Biden isn’t helping some of the areas afflicted by Hurricane Helene. The guy’s politics were unclear — he was also yelling something about Israel — but it was an indication that Donald Trump’s latest lie has gone viral.
In case you missed it, Trump has been trying to exploit the natural disaster for political gain, claiming he heard that the federal government — Biden — and North Carolina’s Democratic governor are “going out of their way to not help people in Republican areas.” This claim has no basis: Major rescue and recovery operations are underway, and several governors of the affected states — including Republicans — have praised federal efforts. Trump said that Georgia’s Republican governor, Brian Kemp, was “having a hard time getting the president on the phone.” On the contrary, Kemp said that Biden told him “that if there’s other things we need, just to call him directly — which, I appreciate that.”
But then, at this point, Trump’s campaign rests heavily on made-up stuff. And he clearly seems to believe that he needs new material, because the old material seems to be losing some of its effectiveness.
Before I get into the disaster relief issue, let me note that Trump has been a true innovator in political dishonesty. Lots of politicians have misrepresented their personal histories or the content of their policy proposals — Trump does that, too. But he has also constructed a whole dystopian fantasy world, trying to persuade voters that America is a nation with a collapsing economy overrun by violent immigrants.

Jerk his “Prize”.
He is and has been wrong on so many issues over better than the last decade.
Not at all. There are about 4 or 5 on this forum that post dozens of leftists articles that are the most anger inducing that they can post. one poster (on won’t mention his name), starts posting early in the morning and posts well into the night. I have seen as many as 3 dozen in a day. Initially, I thought that what drives a person to spend all that time researching (I assume they are reading) and posting. I wondered why they would do that. As a service (like you comparing yourself to Rush Limbaugh’s service), or the desire for clicks (maybe like a click vampire, a troller, or some other purpose. I also wondered if some of the posters might be posting in other names. Finally, as I said to you, it is a shame to spend all this time posting garbage from garbage sights. It must take its toll. Whether you post or not is not relevant to me. My thought was it just seemed a shame to have to read so much crap.
Denial by the NYTs is confirmation of the truth otherwise, and proclamation by the NYTs is propagation of a lie.
I get tired of reading things I agree with. I think it's really important to see what the enemy is up to, and the fact that they have gone bat guano insane over Trump.
And as I said, Rush Limbaugh spent most of his shows on gaslight press articles and newscasts. Evidently you are smarter than Rush. When are you getting your radio show? I know people will be anxious to hang onto your every word because you are so fearless and knowledgeable.
You misunderstand my point. I think you and others are making a valuable contribution, but the personal time that you contribute has to be taken away from other things, so the cost is high to you personally. So, my sympathy for you is the sacrifice of reading garbage before you post it. I am sure you hold your nose.
Do you still beat your wife?
“do you still beat your wife?”...
your comment proves why the republicants will always be losers...
your comment proves you are an insecure bully
your comment proves you bring nothing to the table except insults... you act like a demonrat...
And all you like to do is whine about what other people are doing like a demonrat.
speaking the truth isn’t whining... thank you for exposing your pretzel logic...
Your passive-aggressive back-handed “compliment” was just a narcissistic weasel’s method of insult. You are so clever,
you’re the one slinging insults... it’s all in writing on this thread...
