Well, so many of the ones about Trump turn out to be complete bullshit.

Re: Celebrating the end of the COVID-19 pandemic

So to claim that the pandemic is done is pretty much accurate. You could argue that epidemic conditions still exist in isolated pockets of the US, but that's really about it. If you stopped all PCR testing tomorrow and just let life go back to normal, I bet we wouldn't see anything particularly not...

Re: Well Duh - Mail in Voting Attack Backfires?

I’ve always thought voting machines should work like an 70’s-80’s style cash register. Voter records their vote on the machine, receives a paper receipt, and the same information is recorded on an internal paper tape. The votes could still be tabulated electronically, but there would be paper backup...

Tucker Carlson / Tony Bobulinski Interview

As some of you may be aware, Tucker Carlson interviewed Hunter Biden’s ex-business partner Tony Bobulinski on his show last night. Bobulinski claimed that Joe Biden’s brother, Jim, said that he and Biden’s son were relying upon “plausible deniability” as they pursued a lucrative deal with a Chinese ...

Re: Coronavirus General Discussion

In other words, the spread of the virus is not anyone's fault. It's not Trump's fault, it's not Cuomo's fault, and so on. It's about the biology of epidemi...

As Gov Cuomo and his extensive PR team attempt to “reimagine” his response to COVID-19, here’s a Twitter thread to remind everyone what an epic fail it really was.

Re: SomethingGate

This story has been going on and information has been trickling out for 3+ years, it’s not anything new. It’s just been ignored by most of the media.

What has changed recently is that we’re finally getting to see some of the damning evidence.
