So why did you only fact check Trump?

Because they are biased and trying to change Joe's diapers. This channel is trash.

[@jlawthelarson]

Other fact checkers. Not real hard to find.

[@lightlightlight]

@@jlawthelarson BIDENs debate lies! Biden has always been the one to speak with a forked tongue. And when he says Trump lies, that’s a lie too. The left bought media lies even more. Here are some HIGHLIGHTS: Let's start with his most devastating falsehood: claiming no soldiers died under his watch. Ironically, he checked his watch repeatedly while at the memorial, a darkly symbolic gesture. The most unintentionally comedic lie of the night was his claim of being endorsed by Border Patrol. That very night, Border Patrol's official social media stated they never have and never will endorse Biden. A few more …. (Not all) What Biden said/ “Trump wants to get rid of Social Security. He’s wanted to cut Social Security and Medicare.” Fact: The ex-president has repeatedly said he wants to protect Medicare and Social Security. The truth is that Biden lied on nearly every topic, not Trump. Classic projection from the media. The bought media outright lies. What Biden said: “The unemployment rate rose to 15% under Trump; it was terrible.” Fact: The unemployment rate was 6.4% when Trump left the White House in 2021. Unemployment rose from 4.4% in March 2020 at the beginning of the pandemic to 14.8% in April 2020 due to the unprecedented global outbreak wreaking economic havoc worldwide. What B said: We have a thousand millionaires in America, I mean billionaires. And what’s happening? They’re in a situation where they in fact pay 8.2% taxes.” Fact: The top 1% of taxpayers (income of at least $548,000) paid an average tax rate of nearly 26% in 2020, while the top 0.001% - 1,475 taxpayers with at least $77 million in adjusted gross income - paid 23.7%, according to IRS data. What Biden said/ “Trump wants to get rid of Social Security. He’s wanted to cut Social Security and Medicare.” Fact: The ex-president has repeatedly said he wants to protect Medicare and Social Security. ^^^^ Same with the national A ban.

Luxurious hotels or just regular hotels-what is the difference? They’re living in hotels while American citizens are in the streets

[@Devina210]

Any hotel is luxurious compared to where our homeless citizens are sleeping every night.

“Living in hotels they are not fancy” well id say a free room,food,medical care at the expense of citizens of the country you came intos taxes says otherwise.

[@patm01]

Some of the hotels are upscale such as the Roosevelt in NYC that was completely renovated just a few years ago and instead of opening it to tourists, the City of New York was willing to pay more to the hotel to house the migrants.

[@user-ru3gn7pb2v]

New York was putting them up in 5 star hotels, and they were complaining that the food wasn't good because they weren't making them food from their countries. Our veterans are out on the streets, and we pay for these criminals to live in nice places.

[@xhalozero]

Considering a lot of the hotels in NYC that immigrants are in rn were advertising as luxury means she lied her ass off. Roosevelt hotels as an example is luxury. I think she's so rich anything less than Ritz Carleton isnt luxury. When actually theres numerous hotels at almost the same quality as them where immigrants are staying like Roosevelt hotel

What they’re talking about is minor exaggerations. The point behind what he saying is 100% factual. Migrants are living in pretty nice hotels in New York and California. There were a lot of legal colors who believe any rolling done under the life liberty and pursuit of happiness argument needs to be overturned. That would include Rowe vs Wade. This border is one of the most dangerous places in the world. That doesn’t mean there’s not other dangerous places. But more importantly, it’s the most dangerous place in the United States.

The fact that she has to miss to represent what was said in multiple cases proves she knows she’s full of crap.

[@janetatum8966]

The amount of bias & one-sidedness & opinions masked as "fact-checking" but is inaccurate...is disappointing. I'd come to really appreciate this channel but it's quite obvious the sidedness & how rattled the 2 of 3 were, at minimum. It was was people self-aggrandizing about their believed correct opinions & fraternizing over their disappointment and anger THEIR candidate did miserably...meltdown. Regardless of Biden's cause for doing poorly, what's fair is fair & this wasn't! No fact-checking him? Maybe b/c some wasn't intelligible. But bashing the opposing candidate out of anger is pretty obvious & not professional. It's like how some bullies tear down others to FEEL LIKE they're building each other up. I don't think you're aware of the savage nature & actions of the southern border c-arte-l-s. Or travel advisories? If police don't cooperate, they've savagely murdered police departments...all who don't comply with THEIR demands. You read that right. I know b/c our area had a Christian mission-oriented classic car cruise group. They'd have car shows in Mexico approx yearly. One yr maybe a decade ago...they couldn't reach that local police dept to make car show arrangements. Turns out they'd had horrific things done to them, k!11ed, & hung from trees etc to send a message. Things so horrific I don't think I can say here. The southern border is quite open in many places...young military aged men w/ survival gear from multiple countries who are our adversaries or tensions are high...are crossing into the U.S. this way. Wake up!

[@Dra741]

Gaza in the Ukraine didn't lose 300000 Americans defenting oil poisoning and opening us up. We caught 300 terrorist inside the United States for the United States. The border is the most dangerous place in the world. We never lost 300000 people in 3 years anywhere. So I discount what she's saying

And voting for a third party candidate will only take your vote away from the one of the two would otherwise vote for, they will not get anywhere near enough votes to win, only spoil. And yes, we need to do something about the 2 party stronghold on the system, but during a presidential election is not the time.

Trump said he never called neo-nazis or white supremacists very fine people, not that he never said the words "very fine people"! & that is completely true. He didn’t. The full unedited video, which can be found on c-span, shows him clarifying that he was specifically NOT including neo-nazs or white supremacists. "& im not talking about the white supremacists & neo nazis. They should be condemned, totally!"
