A Party Built On Lies

It seems like every time you turn around Trump or Vance got caught in another lie! Beside the border situation, the climate, Springfield, and all the other lies Vance got caught lying about living in poverty.
J.D. Vance’s Stolen Valor: ‘He Puts on Poverty Like You Put on Makeup’
There’s a hollow core at the center of J.D. Vance’s origin story — his claim that he “grew up poor”

After having his racist claims about Haitian immigrants challenged as lies, J.D. Vance made a shocking admission on live TV to CNN’s Dana Bash: He was happy “to create stories,” he said, in order to drive media attention to what he described as “the suffering of the American people.”

It was a remarkable confession of dishonesty from a politician. But it was even more shocking coming from Vance — a man who was catapulted into national prominence on the strength, and supposed credibility, of his memoir, Hillbilly Elegy, which purports to shine a spotlight on hidden American suffering. Was Vance also “creating stories” back in 2016 in his bestseller?

In light of Vance’s admission, a close re-reading of Hillbilly Elegy by Rolling Stone uncovers a hollow claim at the center of the book. Namely that J.D. Vance “grew up poor.”
Lies, lies, lies! Can you trust the Republican party?

Pink News reports,
Ahead of his debate with vice-presidential rival Tim Walz, Vance was speaking at an event in Monroeville, Pennsylvania, hosted by Lance Wallnau, a right-wing anti-LGBTQ+ evangelical preacher who has said vice-president Kamala Harris is summoning the “the spirit of Jezebel”, apparently meaning she is using witchcraft.

“First of all, the American education system used to be the envy of the world, rich or poor alike,” Vance said on Saturday (30 September). “We believe in this country that every person deserves a quality education.

“Well, now we’ve got American children who can’t add five plus five, but they can tell you that there are 87 different genders and I think both of those things are related.”
I would like to point out that Project 2025 want to strip funding for the U.S. Department of Education.

Every word out of Trump and Vance are nothing but lies.

They say that they will not have a national abortion ban… but they have introduced bills that ban!
In the race for Congress, some Republicans are trying a new approach to abortion

In the most contested races for control of the U.S. House, many Republican candidates are speaking up about women’s rights to abortion access and reproductive care in new and surprising ways, a deliberate shift for a GOP blindsided by some political ramifications of the post-Roe v. Wade era.

Looking directly into the camera for ads, or penning personal op-eds in local newspapers, the Republicans are trying to distance themselves from some of the more aggressive anti-abortion ideas coming from their party and its allies. Instead the Republican candidates are working quickly to spell out their own views separate from a GOP that for decades has worked to put restrictions on reproductive care.

The new strategy is both sanctioned and promoted by the House Republicans’ campaign arm, an acknowledgement of the GOP’s failure to grasp the political power of women’s reproductive care as an issue that would mobilize voters.

“The Republicans have always known they’re actually on the wrong side of this issue,” said Ilyse Hogue, former president of the group previously known as NARAL Pro-Choice America, who is now a senior fellow at New America, a think tank in Washington. She said the party’s shift “wouldn’t surprise me.”
Do you trust them?

The White House wrote...
The Republican Study Committee budget:
  •     Supports eliminating reproductive freedom for all women in every state and puts IVF treatment squarely on the chopping block through House Republicans’ support for the Life at Conception Act.
  •     Endorses banning mifepristone – an FDA-approved, safe and effective medication that has been on the market for more than 20 years.
  •     Supports rolling back policies that help ensure our Nation’s veterans have access to abortion care when their health or lives are at risk or in cases of rape or incest.
  •     Guts funding for contraception—which is supported by the vast majority of Americans on both sides of the aisle—for low-income and uninsured women. This would further erode access to essential health care, from cancer screening to primary care, at a time when state abortion bans have already forced health clinics that provide contraception and other critical health services to close.
Then when the Republican realized that they shoot themselves in the foot… all of sudden, crickets. The RNC got word out… no talking about abortion! Sh...



Another lie...
The ex-president said Brian Kemp, the state governor, was trying to reach the president who was ‘sleeping’, in vain

Donald Trump spoke in front of a furniture store gutted by Hurricane Helene in Valdosta, Georgia, on Monday, claiming falsely that Georgia’s governor had not been able to reach Joe Biden.

Upon landing in Valdosta, Trump claimed to reporters the president had been “sleeping” and that Brian Kemp, the governor, had been “calling the president and hasn’t been able to get him”. He repeated the false claim when speaking in front of the store.

Kemp refuted the allegation earlier in the day. He said he had been playing phone tag with vice-president Kamala Harris, but also said: “The president just called me yesterday afternoon and he just said: ‘Hey, what do you need?’ … He offered that if there’s other things we need, just to call him directly, which, I appreciate that.”

[...]

When a pool reporter on Monday evening questioned Biden on the former president’s comments, Biden angrily interjected before the question was finished.

“He’s lying and the governor told him he was lying. The governor told him he’s lying. I’ve spoken to the governor, spent time with him, and he told him he’s lying. I don’t know why he does it … that’s simply not true, and it’s irresponsible.”
How can you trust this guy, he and his sidekick are chronic liars, every time they open their mouths another lie comes out.

I'm voting for the person with integrity, honesty, and compassion... Harris/Walz.

A campaign video was doctored to make it sound like VP Harris is drunk...

The claim: Video shows Kamala Harris slurred words in Helene remarks

A Sept. 27 Facebook post (direct link, archive link) shows Vice President Kamala Harris delivering a warning about Hurricane Helene and speaking in an unusually slow manner.

Animated icons of alcoholic drinks are overlaid on the video, which is a repost of a TikTok video and includes on-screen text that reads, "Kammy's 'on the case' of Hurricane Helene."

The post's caption reads, "She slurring. Omg!"

The post was shared more than 90 times in three days.
 
 [...]
 
 This isn't the first time video of Harris has been altered in this way. USA TODAY debunked a similar video that falsely claimed Harris slurred her words while intoxicated during a Sept. 20 speech in Atlanta.
The dirty tricksters are in full swing, they are worried so they retreat to lying.

I don't know if this was a party ad, or a PAC ad, or the work of an individual, but it shows the type of junk that the conservatives are putting out.
