Fox News puts out a lie about Joe Biden banning beef. Waits an entire weekend for it to be spread before a lone reporter retracted

[HomerJS]

They can't win on policy because the American people prefer the policies of Biden and the Democrats. All they have lie, cheat and steal with fake culture wars as part of their arsenal. The Daily Mail and Fox let a complete lie that Joe Biden was going to ban meat bounce around their blogosphere. Enough of the Trump sycophants repeated it until John Roberts of Fox News who didn't know about the misleading chyron retracted the early the following week.

Seems this is all the right wing has.

Darn I was hoping to eat subsidized beyond/impossible/insect/etc meat from now. My dreams of carcinogenic-free foods are ruined...

Cattle eat grass which means that forrests get cut down for grass land. I switched to eating pork in the form of hamburger. It tastes just like beef but I don’t think pigs eat grass. It also, fortunately but I am not sure why, does not really taste like ham.

Insect protein powder shakes can be produced on almost no land farms, high density living that @fskimospy would definitely approve of and the bugs wouldn’t care. Grubs can be raised in buildings as high as we can build them. We could build them as a wall along the Mexican border. Mexican labor in on the Mexican side to farm the grubs, and grubs only out the US side. Nobody over the top with a five dollar ladder. The bugs could maybe genetically engineered to eat plastic and poop oil for frying them. With fireflies and fiber optics we could maybe even light our cities.

The good news is we have plenty of farm land so there’s no need to worry!

Remember, all I want is for people to live in homes and not under bridges. You apparently feel otherwise.

It just goes along with the lie put out there that Kamala Harris's children's book was being distributed to migrant children being brought to Long Beach, CA. This one was spread by "news" outlets as well as people like the chair of the RNC. Most of the comments were not retracted or were "edited" with no apology.

Right wasted no time touting bogus story about Kamala Harris' book

Republicans appear to be having so much difficulty undermining Biden and his team that they're leaning on manufactured nonsense.

Yet right wingers were silent when Kellyanne Conway openly promoted Ivanka Trump's businesses from her White House position. A clear violation of the Hatch Act.

If conservatives are this concerned about the (fake) story that Kamala Harris is profiting off her public office I can only assume they will be absolutely outraged when they hear about Donald Trump running a hotel down the street from the White House and putting hundreds of millions of public funds in his pocket from trips to his properties.

Right? Surely they will be outraged... right?

As you've made clear and as we've come to know, contrived outrage from the right is expressly reserved for the left. They certified that and made it a punishable offense if any of their own criticized someone inside the isolated confines of their circled wagons.

Trump, with his mind numbing incompetence and constant blatant self-serving acts of malfeasance was, if not completely ignored, hailed as a character trait worthy of his being idolized for it, this while the Repubs are having to painfully make mountains out of anthills against the Dems in order to divert attention away from the fact that their party is now leaderless and have nothing to offer the nation other than more tax cuts for the wealthy and more cuts to essential social services for the masses.

Thou art a little overly optimistic

Well, except for what you call homes I call grub boxes. I think your solution is aimed at affordable housing for the poor whereas I think more about ending poverty. What does housing look like for people who lack economic insecurity?

The good news is if you don’t like a particular unit of housing you don’t have to live in it! If someone else does though, they get to have a roof over their heads instead of an overpass.

Meanwhile, one of the best ways to end poverty would be to build sufficient housing that keeping a roof over your head no longer took more than half of people’s income in some cases. And you know the best part of all? To accomplish all this good the only thing you need to do is nothing. Instead of trying to use the government to force people to live in the kind of houses you think they should…just leave them alone to decide for themselves.

Can’t beat that deal, right? Big reduction in poverty just by doing nothing.

Their sister rag NYPost also lied about Kamala Harris book being bought by government to give to detained migrants. Author has resigned.

New York Post temporarily deletes, then edits false story that claimed Harris' book was given out in migrant 'welcome kits'

The New York Post temporarily deleted, and then edited and republished, a debunked article that falsely claimed that copies of Vice President Kamala Harris' book were being included in "welcome kits" given to migrant children at a shelter in Long Beach, California.

"The Kamala Harris story -- an incorrect story I was ordered to write and which I failed to push back hard enough against -- was my breaking point."

The author's reaction is weird to me, hasn't the NYP been like this for a while?

Yep, if we would just get out of the way of rapacious development and greed, we would live in an earthy paradise.

Well, the world might not be paradise but there would surely be fewer homeless people and fewer people mired in poverty due to crushing housing costs.

Sounds pretty good to me! Could also save the rest of us a lot of money - there's no need to build and staff as many homeless shelters when people can just house themselves.

 

[ondma]

Back to the original topic of the false Fox story of banning beef.
This would just be an amusing side note if the Republicans had any degree of logical reasoning left. The amazing, and scary, part about this, is that I am sure the base actually believed it.

That’s just plain old bullshit. You’re using the homeless crisis as cover for allowing greedy developers to trash neighborhoods while doing absolutely nothing to improve the situation of the homeless you pretend to be advocating for.

I agree. I dont really understand exactly what skimpy was proposing. It seemed like he was just saying for the govt to step out and let the developers/market set prices. One could argue that from a free market standpoint, but I certainly dont think it would lead to lower prices.

It would not just help them, it is the surest way to do it!

The number one reason for being homeless is not mental illness or substance abuse, it's not being able to afford a home. Building more homes makes homes more affordable.

A -> B.

"More affordable" is still way out of reach of people living on the street and you know it.

Yes, I'm saying the government should stop banning people from building homes on land they own, artificially increasing housing scarcity. Basically I'm asking for municipalities to stop manipulating the market to drive up prices.

Is there a reason why you think increasing the supply of housing won't lower prices? This makes no sense to me.

Yea, and the number one reason for being broke is that you have no money!
Iron Wing is right, even if more homes built, left to the free market, the rent will still be out of reach of people living on the street. The only answer that would seem to work for me is to allow market rate rents, but for the government to subsidize part of it. Lets face it though, the real answer has to be to address the mental health and job training issues so that homeless people can get a decent paying job in order to have resources to pay for an apartment (you could throw affordable child care in there too).
