Either way, it's a big problem that we've allowed lying in public life to go unpunished. This is not just a US story.
This is principled of Hermer. Bravo.
Vance knows, though. He can switch effortlessly between audiences, and wave away criticism as part of the rough and tumble. But he's perfectly happy to lie that people of Haitian background were eating pets.

Trump goes from thought to mouth with no editing; this is obviously dishonesty, because most of us edit out any impulse to lie. But it seems that filter is just not there. Miller is open about who he is (an authoritarian, who would happily suspend civil rights to achieve his aims).
Musing about which member of the Trump administration is the most dishonest. I think Vance.
I reposted this earlier without comment but have now read the report. It's excellent & of particular value in disaggregating SM & CU effects. The result won't surprise ppl who know how businesses have experienced Brexit, but v. useful to have it systematically evaluated + policy imps are important.
