Between this, JD Vance's "racist lies for the greater good" stance and the right's desire to make it illegal for doctor groups to endorse evidence based medicine for trans people the GOP has just gone into full fascist propaganda mode.

"Don't trust Google! It shows you the bad stuff! Only trust Truth Social for your information!"
Well, your first two sentences are actually valid when you divorce them from the current context and remarry it with the reality of the bad stuff being ads, paid misinformation, and general enshittification 🤷
Well it shows bad stuff about Trump, so clearly it's not all misinformation.
That much is true, of course. Everywhere including his own ramblings do that, though, so that's not really characteristic of Google specifically 🤷
God, if Trump somehow gets in, I hope he speedruns Hitler%. Gun in mouth, Fourth Reich collapses, first day
And then Vance is President? I'm not sure that's better, all the same horrible views, somewhat more coherent, has no idea how a human behaves, is on the record that if he'd been Pence he'd have helped with the coup
We could just keep giving him new couches to keep him distracted and away from anything sort of governance.
The only reason Pence grew a backbone is he truly believed he would be murdered if he'd left the Capitol, and replaced with The Speaker of The House. It wasn't honor, or duty, or courage, it was purely self interest in survival.
Vance and the entire GoP losing all power is part of the Hitler% speedrun
The terrifying thing is that thanks to the electoral college and FPTP, he has as good a chance as Kamala despite being grossly unpopular
We need reform but as long as we keep pretending that the Republican party is a legitimate political party, that's not gonna happen
Part of why I get pissed by people saying they aren't voting/are voting third party this election. It NEEDS to be overwhelmingly Harris so the Supreme Court gets scared about giving it to the GoP. If Harris loses, there is no future election, and people who were all, "Harris is just as evil I'm not voting/voting 3rd party" will be among the people rounded up and thrown into concentration camps. Morals don't matter shit when you get forced to work to death
It's either make sure it's overwhelming, or stop aiming to off Trump and instead take out the republicans on the SC - At least 4 of them. And I doubt the latter will happen, so it NEEDS to be an overwhelming Dem victory
I think there will be multiple lawsuits (Georgia, North and South Carolina, etc.,) and shady election poll shenanigans, and SCOTUS will appoint him King. Like what they did to Gore.
🤞🤞🤞
Seriously, if he loses, and can't escape, he'll definitely off himself before he goes to prison. Oh no, anyway...
What are the good stories again? Is he just asking Google to delist him entirely?
I think you're ascribing to him a consistency of thought that he hasn't been capable of in decades, if ever 😄
Banning Bump stocks and legalizing hemp.
It just amazes me that anyone can support such an obviously damaged, antisocial person. No one would tolerate this behavior from their teenage child. Well, no one who isn't rich enough to be able to ignore consequences that normal people would face.
"I'm the best, I'm the most popular, I'm the prettiest, I throw the best parties, I have the best clothes, car, phone, friends, and everybody loves me best! And anyone who doesn't agree is a fat loser who is probably in Chess Club and Band! And GAY!"
How can anyone support a spoiled, entitled, narcisssitic, psychopathic overgrown high school mean girl for the most powerful office on the planet? My theory? 40 years of Jerry Springer and Judge Judy.
How can anyone support him? He's normalizing their shitty behavior and they love him for it.
True.
I think people will be using Trump as an argument against democracy a hundred years from now
This reminds me of a girl I went to school with in like 2nd grade. She had clearly just learned the word “sue,” and proceeded to run around the playground shrieking “I’ll sue you!” at the other children.
It sounds like she had a better grasp of the legal system than him in all fairness.
Well, my town did have an excellent school system!
Just like mommy.
Only lies allowed!
Trump has all the STDs. He caught the last one after fucking Vance’s couch.
Based on polling post Vance, I'm pretty sure the couch fucked him.
Pretty sure Stormy coulda told you that way before Vance the Couchfucker.
Only "truths" approved by ~~the ministry of~~ truth social!
If you vote this demented orange asshole again in to the office i will lose remaining bits of hope i have for america
See, this is an example of why he likes Putin. If you publish negative stories about Putin, regardless of truth, you're going to fall out a window. Trump wants that.
He's always craving the approval of a tough Father Figure. Like a weakling.
Well that's not fair. You might also choke on your tea.
We do live in a world where simply mentioning the bad shit people do can get you in trouble.
Over on another forum site I mentioned that border security in Egypt made a British 15 year old girl strip in an airport and I received a 3 day ban off admins for "Inciting hatred based on identity or religion".
I never mentioned religion or any identity. I just said "Egypt made a 15 year old girl strip naked in an airport and that was a pretty shitty thing to do."
Trump: Xi Xi
Crazy man in orange face complains.
Free speech for me but not for thee
No presidential candidate should be this focused on vengeance. This man is unfit to lead.
Does he have examples of good stories lol?
They're just reporting the awful things he's saying (or has done).
