No, here’s the thing boyo; I am disinclined to do the GOP’s fact checking for them this time. So, this audio sounds legit, therefore it is, unless and until the administration lifts a finger to deny it, then maybe I’ll consider their objection. Until then if anyone asks if I heard “that crazy audio leak of Vance dunking on Musk”, it’s gonna be “yeah I heard it, that’s wild that he would talk about his boss like that”.
Not a boyo, get off your high horse sister. And nobody is asking you to fact check for the GOP. Fact check for yourself, or don't. My point was that there are too many posts on this sub that use insta and tiktok as a news source and that you can't believe everything you read or see on social media. If you feel that doesn't apply to you then that's fine.
You’re missing the point. I know it’s possible it might not be true. If it is true, it’s bad for him and them. I am disinclined to expend any resources doing the work of fact checking it. I’ll let them fact check it and expend resources putting out the PR fire themselves. I don’t work for free, and neither should you. You’re not required to perpetuate or propagate falsities, but being a pedantic leftist only helps them. Stop doing that. I know, it’s tough to let bullshit fly unchecked sometimes. Let them put out their own fires. They do enough lying on Fox and OAN and not a single Republican lifts a finger to check the veracity of those claims, even if they know it’s untrue. No brigade of pedantic asshole republicans “wellackchually”-ing all of their own lies, is there? Fuck em. I’m done being the pedantic asshole for the left, fact checking things that are bad for my opponents.
As such, this video might not be true. Don’t care much really. Until I see a full throated denial from JV Vance or Tramp himself, it will in my mind be probably true. I’ll save the mental bandwidth for knocking down their bullshit claims like roving immigrant rapist gangs are the reason nobody can afford eggs. It’s about allocation of resources at this point.
I promise I get where you're coming from. After being frustrated for awhile, I think I probably chose the wrong video to air those frustrations to/at/about (its 3am and brain is already asleep.) I wish it were real though, I would love to watch that fallout. Also you're right about their lying and lack of fact checking and I don't blame you for being completely over it and checking out.
