And I'm sure a poll straight out of Kamala's ass says she won by 92%

As Aldous Huxley observed in Brave New World Revisited: тАЬNon-stop distractions of the most fascinating nature are deliberately used as instruments of policy, for the purpose of preventing people from paying too much attention to the realities of the social and political situationтАж Only the vigilant can maintain their liberties, and only those who are constantly and intellectually тАШon-pointтАЩ can hope to govern themselves effectively by democratic procedures.тАЭ AND:

As Murray N. Rothbard stated in Anatomy of the State: тАЬThe greatest danger to the State is independent intellectual criticism; there is no better way to stifle that criticism than to attack any isolated voice, any raiser of new doubts, as a profane violator of the wisdom of his ancestors. Another potent ideological force is to deprecate the individual and exalt the collectivity of society. For since any given rule implies majority acceptance, any ideological danger to that rule can only start from one or a few independently thinking individuals. The new idea, much less the new critical idea, must begin as a small minority opinion; therefore, the State must nip the view in the bud by ridiculing any view that defies the opinions of the mass. тАЬListen only to your brothersтАЭ or тАЬadjust to societyтАЭ thus become ideological weapons for crushing individual dissent. By such measures, the masses will never learn of the nonexistence of the EmperorтАЩs clothes.тАЭ AND:

тАЬWhen you see that in order to produce, you need to obtain permission from men who produce nothingтАФwhen you see that money is flowing to those who deal, not in goods, but in favorsтАФwhen you see that men get richer by graft and by pull than by work, and your laws donтАЩt protect you against them, but protect them against youтАФwhen you see corruption being rewarded and honesty becoming a self-sacrificeтАФyou may know that your society is doomed.тАЭ Ayn Rand; Atlas Shrugged, 1957

ABC interviewed Vance after the debate, and he tore Jonathan Karl a new ass. But Krispie Kreme sour grapes Christy was up next and (reverse) harpooned The Don unmercifully to the delight of the panel. His lies were worse than KarmelaтАЩs.
