Hi Martin, Thanks for keeping up the dialog on all this. One of the things that seems strange is why the New York Times does not seem to fact check Trump and Vance consistently. The will in an occasional editorial, but not in the main news feed. Sometimes I get the feeling they actually support Trump. It would help if the major news media would call a spade a spade.
The fact that this race is a dead heat is really disturbing to me too. It boggles my mind that half of polled voters want a vile, corrupt and narcissistic serial liar to be President again, and has really caused me to reassess how I feel about my fellow Americans.
Are 50% of the people willing to elect liars? I guess you didn't watch the other story on that same 60 Minutes episode, because the answer to your question is a resounding "Yes".
They had the Republican guy in charge of elections in Maricopa County, AZ--who triple checked all the 2020 election results--and said, "There is NO EVIDENCE of fraud in the 2020 election, Joe Biden WON". And then all the rest of the Repugs including a woman who has emerged as a leader and who said "God said I should fight him, he is wrong and evil" and literally said she would "lynch" the guy (on a recording that 60 minutes had of her). When Scott Pelly called her on it she said, "I meant a political lynching."
I do believe it was Jesus who coined the term "lynching," wasn't it? Or maybe God the father, himself?
There's a whole lot who have drunk the orange kool-aid. We can only hope there are more Repugs like Liz and (gulp, dare I say) Dick Cheney who are willing to do the right thing and vote for Kamala.
But I fear we are screwed. God only knows what these deranged lunatics will do if the PoS doesn't win.

I agree, Jeff. How anyone thinks that he is a "great leader" or that he cares about anyone but himself is beyond me.
