The Debate last night and one question which keeps coming back to me.

[c-rational]

Last evening, the maga moderator Margaret asked Tim Walz why 51% of the American people believe Trump is better for the economy than Harris. Tim gave a good overall answer about how the economy always does better under Dems, but I was seething at this point. What a false question. A better answer imo may have been:

The reason the American people believe by 51% that the economy would do better under the dUmpster is that you Margaret, and your fellow journalists have failed to do your job. That skewed figure is the direct result of the failings of the 4th estate. You allow lies and falsehoods to be peddled as truth and simply say it is not your job to provide any analysis. That is false. You and Norah both sat there and allowed JD to gaslight the American people and say you are fact checking while you were not. No corrections on your part. That small example during the debate is but one small example of your reprehensible behavior which allows a threat to our way of life to be an actual consideration for the highest office in the land.

1. The Economy

trump and the GOP’s favorite tool! Blame it on the immigrants.

The shyster lawyer [serpent snake] named Vance says throw the immigrants out of their homes

that will solve the housing problem. Use Federal land to build more homes and drilling for oil as well.

Stick with the GOP and they will enforce their Project 2025 on everyone. The rich will use us as slaves !!!!!!

4. And slaves don't need homes, so problem solved!

That "build homes on Federal land" idea is just plain stupid. Notwithstanding that giving up the people's real property assets to developers is just plain wrong, TIm Walz pointed out that most of the places more housing is needed are not located near any wide-open Federal land anyway.

2. There were a few like that. Asked Walz about a misstatement from over 20 years ago

that had absolutely nothing to do with anything to do with the election at all, but did not ask Vance about his cat ladies, grandparents looking after grandchildren (as their childcare policy) or calling legal immigrants illegals and that they are eating dogs and cats. All of those are relevant to his thinking today but sure lets ask Walz about a trip he took 35 years ago.

3. Another way legacy media gets the republicans

talking point out is to ask "regular guy" his opinion of the economy. When "regular guy" falsely gives tfg credit, they let it stand. Legacy media will never give the facts. They allow misinformation to fly.
