Week. Lets get to some of the conversations you might have missed. Lets talk about the debate. In your latest piece you write quote, the most important thing i saw Kamala Harris who was pre blocking, not debunking, was waiting for someone to lie, and hit back with the truth. It is not working politics as much as you would hope it would in saturated lies, but free bunking is explain to people how they are being, or better yet will be related, what the motive is, how the con works, how the lie will be crafted and will function, and for extra credit, who benefits from it and how.
