    So folks can publish whatever sh1te they like, with whatever degree of factual accuracy, and no-one will validate the truth of whatever is posted. Free speech or unadulterated and unfettered lies? No-one will ever know now.

    The land of the free, as long as you agree.

    Mind informing us of who determines what is a lie and what isn't? The "independent fact checkers" that consisted of 98% democrat? Would that be the same people that advised us that there was nothing harmful being injected in people during the Tuskegee trials? Would that be the people that said Florida and New York city would be underwater by 2020? Would that be the same people that said that the vaccine prevented covid? Would that be the same people would said that inflation would be transitory?

    Maybe it would be best for people to make their own independent assessment when something is true or not. I trust my own judgement a lot better than I trust a politician, a journalist or some government bureaucrat to tell me what is truth and what is not. Feel free to believe anything your government tells you but I'll take my chances of determining when I'm being lied to and when I'm not.

    I'll give a simple hint that might serve you well. Whenever you are being told something that you question "follow the money". Figure out who gains monetarily and you'll usually figure out who's lying and who's not. Another hint.... if it's a politician assume that they all lie unless you can verify otherwise.

    Spaldy a lie is I will f other countries by putting huge tariffs and make America a great again. Now he already is reneging, instead his going to conquer the world by taking over Greenland Panama cannel and Canada lol As for mingling in other countries business well. This dude is a fn idiot and you people voted for him Ps this is not a lie. Ohh and he is only warming the sit for Musk another dictator in waiting.
    As for speaking up good honest people don't last. Jimmy Carter spend 4 years as president and made so many contributions not just America but the world, which is well recognized and yet he didn't last long. You had the bush's who were more terrorists and war enthusiasts more than any other and they are treasured. They were also the cause of the twin towers and other atrocities at the time which has brought the world disaster after disaster by spreading lies and misinformation which led to so many innocent life's to die American Australian English and the opposition. I might be getting old and sick as f but my eyes and ears are my healing powers. Ps nephew and his family all voted trump and now says to me uncle what have we done?
    Ps my opinions and just like the football just opinions and will be ridiculed and once they come true no one will say you were right just find another avenue of attack
