I believe it. They’re primarily using missiles that take a predictable, ballistic arc, which makes them very easy for the Iron dome system to intercept. Furthermore, Iran’s responses so far have seemed very carefully measured so that only a few missiles get through the iron dome. Based on previous strikes, it seems like they could overwhelm Israel just through sheer numbers, yet they haven’t.

Here's a decent article on this:

Time to get myself a scramble suit.

She was accused of allowing access to the voting system to an expert affiliated with My Pillow CEO Mike Lindell

I can't pretty much guarantee there are no experts associated with Mike Lindell.

Agreed. I love the drums too, really loose vibe to them.

It depends on if he saved the receipt.

It sounds like The Rolling Stones but it's only Mick, plus Ry Cooder on slide guitar.

That’s not really what posy truth is about IMO.

I largely agree with what you said but Trump and Vance's lies are a contributing factor to our post truth world. They're following people like Putin and trying to create an environment where the truth is malleable to the point of being worthless and people are conditioned to believe there is no longer such a thing as objective truth because that environment gives them the greatest chance of maintaining power.

We have more overt fact-checking. if that trend continues, it can help push back on the patent falsehoods.

We don't though. Fact checking after the debate is of limited use. If you don't confront a lie the second it's told, the liar will rapidly go on to tell more lies and you end up with a Gish gallop of bullshit which is what we saw from Vance and Trump. They got away with it. A fact checking article on NPR the morning after does very little.

But first, a word from our sponsors.

You're got to take both sides seriously. If you don't you're a part of the woke, East coast liberal media elite and that's just like, really bad.

We're in a post-truth world. The corporate media have normalized candidates that just stand there and tell lie after lie with little pushback.

I don't know how, or if it's even possible, to get back to the days when lying assholes got treated like lying assholes.
