I’m seriously pissed off at the MSNBC talking heads discussing changing horses.

@Wikisteff @DrPsyBuffy @MoiraEve I think the rules were agreed to by both candidates including how fact checking would be handled (or not handled). Clearly pauses for fact checking must be included in any future debate terms.

The Trump lies would still be stated over and over and the audience is only going to hear the lies. In fact, fascism relies on the lies being promoted over and over until they become the truth. (1/2)

Trump projection is monumental. Trump is a raging liar. Biden has not lied. https://mastodon.stevesworld.co/@steter/112691814991922947

@ElleGray @JSharp1436 I’ve provider pet services for a few years and have seen many dogs loving this chicken toy. It is very durable to even the most destructive dogs.

"Donald Trump continues to pose as a hero of the working class who will fight for average working people. He is not, of course. He is a stooge of the moneyed interests."

Trump's 'intellectual capacity' questioned after comparison to interview with Biden

https://www.alternet.org/biden-trump-intellectual-capacity/

wdjorth ,
@wdjorth@mastodon.online avatar

@br00t4c Trump’s intellectual capacity has been questioned for years. Even as a youth being mentored by his abusive father. And in the boarding school where he couldn’t maintain grades. And his purchased degree from business school. It’s all fake. He can’t read. He doesn’t have any intellectual curiosity.

More or less spot on about the cost of housing and higher education. One aspect is “we” is misplaced. The Koch network intended this fate. They’ve worked to this end for 50 years.

Billionaires hate us, that is why they are pulling apart the republic and democracy all over the world. It’s them or us. They want tyranny and we want our lives.

@GhostOnTheHalfShell @academicchatter @economics-that-works I don’t think the billionaires hate us. It’s more likely they can’t “see” us for their own narcissism. They act from near term financial maximization without caring about societal impacts. It’s all about “what’s in it for me now!”

Via Lisa Rubin:

Maybe Akerman can shed some light on why this provision of ’s bond seems to give Chubb 60 days or more from an appellate judgment in ’s favor before they have to pay her.

Mueller, She Wrote:

Scooplet: The law firm Akerman LLP has been retained to represent the Chubb Group for the $91.63M trump surety bond.

    @GottaLaff @JonChevreau I think the bond and it’s provisions will have to be reviewed by the judge and approved only when it meets usual contract provisions.

    As Lucian K. Truscott says, the Alabama Supreme Court ruling that cells in a test tube are a baby and deserve the same rights that a baby has puts Republicans in a real bind.

    It does so because it tells us that "pro-life" Republicans have not ever truly meant what they claim to believe, when they say that "life" begins at conception.

    Why is it okay for undocumented migrants to harvest most of our food for us because the average American is too lazy to do so but it’s not okay for those migrants and their families to seek a better life here while they’re feeding us?

    Can anyone adequately answer that?

    wdjorth ,
    @wdjorth@mastodon.online avatar

    @philip_cardella @charlotteclymer The immigrants harvesting our food are the easy target for the fascist. Bullies always target the powerless to distract from the bullies' own incompetence.
