    I didn’t have the patience to watch the whole debate, but one part I did see was where JD Vance said he wasn’t going to entirely blame illegal immigrants for high housing cost, then like 20 seconds later lists illegal immigrants and Kamala Harris as the number one and number two reasons for high housing costs, respectively. Every single answer from him I watched, he lied at least once.

      Are you surprised though? He’s an admitted liar saying that if he needs to lie to get America’s attention then he’d do it.

        Not at all, just commenting on how refusing to fact check is affirmative action for Republicans, and anything less will make them pitch a temper tantrum, as we saw after the last debate.

    I know it’s an old meme format, but it just fit too well.

    Had a discussion with an old relative that insisted housing is expensive because “houses are nicer now”.

    Aliens sound much more reasonable

    yeah it’s totally the illegal aliens and not the corporations buying up hundreds of thousands of units a year.

    Since it’s aliens buying up the houses, and we don’t like aliens, that means we can increase taxes on owning houses, right?
