Everyone thinks their side are the good guys. Nice try.
We call out the popular takes that skip the facts: the ones that cast one side as heroes and the other as villains. Receipts first, verdict second.
Latest callouts
-
“The Rich Don’t Pay Their Fair Share.” Nice Try.
The top 1% earn about a quarter of the income and pay almost half the federal income tax. The real argument is about the billionaires, and even that one gets oversold.
-
“The Parties Switched.” “No They Didn’t.” Nice Try, Both of You.
The left says today's GOP inherited the Confederacy. The right says nothing ever switched. The record says the parties didn't trade politicians. They traded voters.
-
“The Party of Fiscal Responsibility.” Nice Try.
A no-free-passes post aimed at our own side. Republicans still run on fiscal responsibility, but the debt keeps growing under both parties, and the 2024 platform stopped mentioning it.
-
“I Did Not Oppose Busing.” Nice Try.
In 2019 Joe Biden said he never opposed busing. His own 1970s words, votes and letters say otherwise.
-
You Call America Oppressive. Nice Try.
Some activists call America oppressive while cheering for regimes that would jail or kill them. Here are the laws and the cases.
-
“No Kings.” Nice Try.
You can hate Trump. But a king isn't elected, doesn't leave, and doesn't lose in court. Here's what the record actually shows.
01 Receipts
We quote what people actually said or did, with the source. No made-up quotes.
02 No free passes
Nobody owns the moral high ground. The side that claims it gets checked too, and often it's no better.
03 Opinion
The facts are the facts. The verdict is ours, and you're free to disagree.
