"Walz Defended Reality—Even as Vance Took Full Advantage of CBS’s Failure to Fact-Check" https://www.thenation.com/article/politics/walz-vance-vice-presidential-debate-reality/ "In a debate where JD Vance lied and lied and lied, Tim Walz did double duty. In addition to making his own case, Walz had to defend the truth. JD Vance began his assault against reality with his response to the first question in what will probably be the only vice-presidential debate of the 2024 campaign." #GOP #Vance #lies #Walz #Harris #Trump #debate image
If there's anyone keeping the lowest of profiles in the USA, it's the rare person who managed to get here illegally. The patently partisan xenophobic idea that this person either came here to murder Americans on our city streets so they can be locked up for life or is here to risk everything in order to vote for a Democrat is repugnant. It's cult fantasy fluff for peoole who can't think for themselves, and pride themselves on 'knowing something others don't.' It's delusion rooted in pride.
Wherewith shall I come before the LORD, and bow myself before the high God? shall I come before him with burnt offerings, with calves of a year old? Will the LORD be pleased with thousands of rams, or with ten thousands of rivers of oil? shall I give my firstborn for my transgression, the fruit of my body for the sin of my soul? He hath shewed thee, O man, what is good; and what doth the LORD require of thee, but to do justly, and to love mercy, and to walk humbly with thy God? Micah 6:6-8
