They won't... even at gun point these commies would rather choose the bullet. I know from expirience that you can turn a commie into a capitalist, but never one of the aggitators. Once trump has his 2nd term, maybe we'll see the end of Obamas propaganda ammendment to the Smith–Mundt Act of 1948. Than we can prosecute these traitors.

Trump needs to go after lobbyists and term limits in his second term. That's pure second term material. If he can get lobby reform, that would go a long way. And more transparent and stringent campaign finance and donation laws, with stiffer oversight, and firm, in the law limits on cash raising, the money thrown at campaigns has to stop.

That all hinges on taking Congress. Iffy, at best. The next 4 years are gonna be more of the same - constant political warfare.

Snopes needs the Social Media treatment - charged for false advertisement.

Social Media are private, politiical platforms - not free, public services under protection of Free Speech.

Snopes is a private, political platform, like the "Patriot Act", with the promise of "Fact Checking". We need liability.

Yelling fire in a crowded theater is explicitly legal.

But they do agree with him.

Yelling fire in a crowded theater is explicitly protected under Brandenburg v. Ohio.

All your links have nothing to do with it.

You are trying to make a slippery slope argument, but things can't slide when they are all rigidly defined by supreme court cases.

"The sun will come up tomorrow."

A tribe in Bungladeshumu worships the sun as Pilokitoka Lamitanarunoka, god of fire and blindness. Their dogma claims that one day, Pilokitoka Lamitanarunoka (praised be his name) will not rise, and this will signify the end of days as he sweeps through the world engaging in staring contests with all the ignorant heathens that have denounced him, who totally deserve to be burned alive for their whiteness. This seems entirely reasonable to us, and in fact we wonder why it hasn't happened yet.

This is also potentially confirmed by the lesser known and less respected cult of Christian mythology, which claims that in the end of days some sort of revelation might occur, and the sun will freeze in the heavens. Of course, nobody takes Christianity seriously, but it is interesting to note that their likely plagiarized claims are almost a perfect match, subjectively speaking, for Bungladeshumuian Pilokitoka Lamitanarunokatism, which is a real religion.

Rating: FALSE.

SilverCoyote 4 points ago +4 / -0

"In the absence of a single, universally-agreed definition of "terrorism," it is a matter of subjective determination as to whether the actions for which Rosenberg was convicted and imprisoned — possession of weapons and hundreds of pounds of explosives — should be described as acts of "domestic terrorism.""

This sounds like a sentence straight out of Babylon Bee. It's even written like a joke with a punchline and everything. Jesus Christ

Literally also Snopes:

Did an FBI Report Conclude That None of the Allegations Against Brett Kavanaugh Was True?

Mostly False

What's True According to a Senate Judiciary Committee synopsis, the FBI's October 2018 investigation into sexual assault allegations against Brett Kavanaugh did not find any evidence to corroborate or substantiate those claims.

What's False The FBI did not report that all (or any) of the allegations against Kavanaugh were conclusively determined to be false.

Why don't they say Kavanaugh was "Not tried or convicted of sexual assault" anywhere?

6
fj9041jg8nqheufhqiun 6 points ago +6 / -0

Snopes is asking for the FBI to prove a negative and thinks the burden of proof is on the accused.

You think that's bad? Look up the snopes about Biden claiming 120 million have died from coronavirus.

They called it mostly false and in their correction they wrote that he actually said more than 120 million died but that he corrected himself to 120 million AFTERWARDS.

5
stratocaster_patriot 5 points ago +5 / -0

Did we spend 100 billion trillion million? Well, no that would be physically impossible but 100 billion trillion million is actually a real number arithmetically so partially true.

Does Joe Biden understand math and numbers? Well clearly not at an elementary school level but he does say actual numbers so yes, Joe Biden understands math and numbers even if he has to point the decimal places in the air with his forefinger while he talks.

This is common knowledge lol, but it's still good to repeat for the people in that hadn't heard.

My favorite one and go-to from Snopes has been the Nathan Philips (Covington) "Vietnam war vet" claims.

He was never in Vietnam, but claimed (on video) that he was a 'Nam war vet... then called out by everyone, and eventually by Cernovich himself.

space_ninja 2 points ago +2 / -0

The one where they debunk her saying she believes Joe Biden's accusers is even better.

https://www.snopes.com/fact-check/harris-believe-biden-accusers/

"Claim: U.S. Sen. Kamala Harris has said she believes women who have accused former Vice President Joe Biden of various offenses, ranging from inappropriate touching to rape."

"What's True: On April 2, 2019, Harris said "I believe them," in reference to four women who had by then accused Biden of inappropriate touching.

What's False: Harris has not said that she believes all of Biden's accusers, in particular Tara Reade, who, almost one year after Harris' remarks, accused Biden of raping her. When questioned about Reade's allegations, Harris did not say that she believed them."

They're weasels, and they're fucking bad at it.

PropagandaWizard1984 2 points ago +2 / -0

PSA: A "meme" did not claim Jacob Blake raped a woman. The woman who filed the charges claimed he raped her. See how that works?

2
Keiichi81 2 points ago +2 / -0

Claim: Blake sexually assaulted a woman, and Kamala said she was proud of him afterwards.

Verdict: While it's true that Blake has been charged with sexually assaulting a woman, and Kamala DID say she was proud of him after that fact, Blake has not yet been convicted of the sexual assault charge, so we rate this claim a mixture of true and false.

I guess #MeToo and #BelieveWomen is over, guys.
