The Apprentice was fake, the boardroom a set

This from John Miller who helped dupe the Republican Party by presenting a 6-time bankrupt shill as a billionaire:

NBC “promoted the show relentlessly,” blanketing the country with a “highly exaggerated” image of Trump as a successful businessman “like a heavy snowstorm.” “[W]e…did irreparable harm by creating the false image of Trump as a successful leader,” Miller wrote. “I deeply regret that. And I regret that it has taken me so long to go public.”

Speaking as a “born-and-bred Republican,” Miller warned: “If you believe that Trump will be better for you or better for the country, that is an illusion, much like The Apprentice was.” He strongly urged people to vote for Kamala Harris. “The country will be better off and so will you.”

MAGA is gaslighting us again

I watched the Harris interview with Brett Baier. Then I checked Twitter. It was filled with MAGA supporters saying Vice President Harris performed poorly in the interview and is unfit to be President. Only she didn’t. She slayed it. Gaslighting is when you see one thing and the other side claims you did not, like when she kicked the felon’s ass in the debate. https://www.foxnews.com/video/6363352689112
