A national abortion ban—or whatever they want to call it—is more than a remote possibility.

JD Vance outright lied about his calls for a national abortion ban during Tuesday night’s vice-presidential debate, falsely declaring he “never supported a national ban.” That is categorically untrue and yet another reason why no one should believe him or Donald Trump when they make promises about reproductive rights, which they will absolutely shred given the opportunity.
But, first, a quick fact-check regarding Vance’s debate claim. In 2022, while running for Senate in Ohio, Vance said on a podcast, “I certainly would like abortion to be illegal nationally.” During that same campaign, he stated on his website for all the world to see that he was “100 percent pro-life” and that he was in favor of “eliminating abortion.” In fact, those words were on Vance’s website until July of this year, when Trump announced the senator as his running mate.

Trump made a settlement, which basically admitted that he'd ripped off the average citizen.
I brought this up to a MAGoo.

Trump's people know he's a liar. They just think he won't lie to them.

I mean, fucking duh. Who is on the fence about this? He has sycophants that wanna knob gobble him, and then there are normal people that don’t believe a fucking word.
It's enough for the admins and mods to ignore their user base for months in order to allow rightwing propaganda on Lemmy. So I assume they get paid pretty well.
