Donald Trump said he lied about public health during Covid in order to prevent a panic. He said he played down the deadliness of Covid in order to not create a panic.

“Affordability “doesn’t mean anything to anybody,” said President Donald Trump during a Tuesday Cabinet meeting at the White House, saying it’s a “fake narrative” and “con job” that Democrats manufactured to hoodwink the public.
“They just say the word,” Trump added. “It doesn’t mean anything to anybody. They just say it—affordability. I inherited the worst inflation in history. There was no affordability. Nobody could afford anything.”
In classic Trump fashion, this is an about-face. Just a few days prior, he declared on Truth Social, “I AM THE AFFORDABILITY PRESIDENT” when touting falling drug prices.”
“The word affordability is a Democrat scam,” he said. “They say it, and then they go on to the next subject. And everyone thinks, ‘Oh, they had lower prices.'”

The MAGA right is really good at bullshiting. They don’t express the same principles or beliefs from topic to topic. They claim that Democrats did it first when what a Democrat did was different or not as bad, and when two wrongs don’t make a right. When confronted on a specific and important event, they claim ignorance.
Mainstream media is often biased to the right because they are so concerned about not being considered biased to the left that they overcorrect, and because the right is more likely to repeatedly lie and the mainstream isn’t good at holding their feet to the fire; while they will come hard at a liberal for a softer or/and less misleading actions.

The administration says they are targeting the worst of the worst in their illegal immigration crackdown, but the facts are, they are sweeping up lots of people whose only crime was illegally immigrating.

Much of politics and punditry is performative lies. I’m not sure why these people think their falsity is okay, but they gain money, fame, and power with their bullshit.

“”Walmart just announced that the cost of their standard Thanksgiving meal is reduced by 25 percent this year from last year,” Trump said recently, failing to account for the fact that the price change is due to Walmart…changing the goods offered via their Thanksgiving meal bundle (and drastically shrinking its size) to get prices lower for cost-burdened consumers.”

Bari Weiss is now the editor-in-chief at CBS news. She doesn’t have a background in reporting, but opinion. Many claims she and her, now-purchased, organization have made, have been found to be false or misleading by multiple other investigations.

RFK and Trump are spewing bullshit about autism and misinforming the public.
RFK and Trump are spewing bullshit about vaccines and misinforming the public.
RFK and Trump are spewing bullshit about medicine and disease, misinforming the public.
RFK chose two less rigorous studies to justify his advice on Tylenol while ignoring larger, more rigorous studies that find no association between Tylenol and ADHD or autism.
Fever can harm the unborn child and even cause miscarriage. Tylenol can prevent that by lowering the fever. Because Trump told women to not take Tylenol, some women won’t take it when they should, with bad consequences.

Republican and right wing media hypocrisy and dishonesty on gerrymandering is outrageous.
Their responses to Newsom make this hypocrisy and/or dishonesty clear as day.

“Our findings indicate that individuals from
both political affiliations are prone to believing and disseminating politically aligned fake news via social media. Despite
employing a stronger reflection manipulation in contrast to past research, we failed to replicate the mitigating effect of
the reflection on the acceptance of fake news. We observed that reflection reduced Democrats’ willingness to spread fake
news, yet it did not affect Republicans.”
