    We need to wire the candidates to lie detectors. And keep fire extinguishers handy in case of the old “pants on fire” syndrome.

    We have plenty of fact-checking.

    It’s voters that care is what we’re short of

    If politicians lie, it’s because all too many of the voters insist they do so. What would an “honest politician” say to you? Would you vote for that candidate afterwards?

    When it comes to political promises, I find it easiest to weed out the “what” which doesn’t come with the “how”.

    I think we should have awards like the Oscars or Emmys for political commercials.

    The nominees for the category of most lies in a 30-second spot are …

    I’d like to give out the award for the best cinematography: taking quotes out of context. Some commercials I’ve seen the editing is so bad, it gives you a headache.

    Some other categories can be:

    Most geographically inaccurate – showing riots in Seattle and claiming it’s Minneapolis (the Space Needle in the background went unnoticed by the editors).

    Most testimonials by a single law enforcement officer about “law and order.”

    Best Makeup – aging an opponent digitally and giving them a scowl or darkening their skin color.

    Best Trick Photography – taking pictures and cropping out critical details.

    Most high-falootin’ sounding PAC name – like Citizens for a Better America.

    Best Deep Fake – it’s only a matter of time

    One serious note: When you see a commercial, is it the candidate him or her self speaking, or is it a voiceover. Some candidates can’t put two COHERENT sentences together.

    And this is why tRump has backed out of the debate. He absolutely hates being fact checked or being called a liar in real time.

    The Orange MAGAnaut is backing out of the debates, because Harris can spit out fact checks to prove his lies, faster than he can make up the lies.

    At the last debate, they set up the old Joe Isuzu “He’s Lying” caption but trump burned it out during preparation.

    Never believe a candidate who say he WILL do something—if he is honest, he will say that he will TRY to do it. (In the event of a dictator, this comment is null and void.)

    “If you ever injected truth into politics you have no politics”

    “Politics pretty quiet over the week-end. Democrats are attacking and the Republicans are defending. All the Democrats have to do is promise “what they would do if they got in.” But the Republicans have to promise “what they would do” and then explain why they haven’t already done it." Will Rogers

    On some of those drug-commercial disclaimers, they have to hire speed readers to go thru everything that might possibly go wrong. Makes me wonder how bad the supposed ailment is if you’re willing to take a chance on all that just to get rid of it.

    What has Sherrod Brown ever done for us? Anything? Anything gainst us? Anything at all?

    I’m asking because I got a Trumpite mailer on behalf of a rich sod named Moreno who wants Brown’s Senate seat. When I tried to think why he shouldn’t get it (apart from him being a rich sod from Columbia with unsavory elements in his background) I couldn’t think of anything Brown has done, good or bad.

    If disclaimers were required for political ads, tRump’s disclaimer would be longer than the message.

    ^They may have stopped allowing comments on ‘political’ cartoons, but demonizers still find opportunities to vent their ‘hate-and-fear the other party’s candidate!’ bile.

    saw an ad that included some kind of perfidy applicable to “the area between the an?s and the genitals” yesterday. Went by too fast to read what the issue might be, I just want them to tell me, “Tain’t so!”.

    If a certain candidate promises in a rally that ’you’ll never have to vote again because I’ll fix it all’, then his handlers say ‘it was all a joke’, should we assume that everything he says is just a joke?
