The double standard is maddening.š š
Of course, the MSM is not expected to fact check himšš

NEW: @VP was asked how she plans on handling Trump on the debate stage, during an interview with The Rickey Smiley Show. Hereās what she said:
ā¢ āHeās played through this really old entire playbook where there’s no floor for him in terms of how low he would go.ā
ā¢ āHe is not burdened by the truth.ā
ā¢ āHe is probably going to speak a lot of untruth.ā
ā¢ āI think heās gonna lie.ā

Balance is a false god. Treating a fact and a lie as equal is not balance but malpractice. It favors the liar. The press is protected in this country so it can protect democracy. That’s also your job as you moderate tonight.

The task for Vice President Harris tonight is to break through Trump’s nonsense and a biased media/punditry and let the American people see her and that she’s ready for this.I’m confident she can do that.

Nate has one job and it has nothing to do with polling.
If Nate told the world Trump is getting shellacked, that stock gets dumped to penny levels.
