for as long as i've been alive, republicans have ran the same playbook: a few weeks before voting begins, they roll out completely fabricated smear campaigns. these things are always coordinated, so the talking points take over the news. the party is never electorally punished for their dishonesty.

Senator Tammy Duckworth: "Putin told Iran the locations of our warships. Today, Trump rewarded him by lifting sanctions and allowing American dollars to fuel Russia’s war machine. Our troops are in harm’s way, and the President cut a deal with the adversary putting a target on their backs."

The Trump-Putin diesel scam was always performative regarding lowering US prices. But it does give American money to Russia to help it kill American soldiers in the Middle East, as well as Ukrainian civilians, and Republicans in Congress seem fine with that.

The only face-to-face meeting in the Colorado Gov's race was both odd and unsurprising. The questions and one candidate's answers were scripted in advance. Voters hoping to finally learn what Republican Victor Marx knows and believes only learned that he knows how to read.

In 2014, Marx said there wouldn't be as much domestic violence if women would be happy with "where God has them." It appeared he was suggesting that women were too eager to be in relationships with abusers. Democratic nominee Phil Weiser condemned Marx's comments this week.
