    One shouldn't need to lie to make political policy points. F'in two-year-olds:

    Biden’s False Attacks on Trump’s Social Security ‘Plan’
    A Biden campaign TV ad falsely claims that a government analysis of President Donald Trump’s “planned cuts to Social Security” shows that “if Trump gets his way, Social Security benefits will run out in just three years from now.”

    Biden actually played the 2019 hit "Despacito"

    I have discovered that it takes on average four different sources to get the actual facts and the whole story these days. It's very messed up how "they" "influence" the masses. Then "they" **** when someone else does the same.

    I'm more amazed by the fact that they all can out and out lie and nothing is done.

    Yeah, cause they might show some true crap and we can't have that.
    Besides, most countries are laughing at the US right now.

    My wife and I gave contributions to both major parties, as well as being a member of the Libertarian Party for awhile. This means we, now I, get the propaganda from all sides.

    Recent propaganda from the Biden Campaign, President Trump has Failed to protect YOU from the corona virus.

    It's not his job to protect me from disease. It may be his job to inform us of known dangers, but it's YOUR JOB to protect yourself, using an ancient technique that helped many of your ancestors survive.

    Common Sense.

    I have to stop now. My back hurts and I've self medicated early in the day. The rants can be tornadic.

    Yeah, when the historians write the chapter on Trump, this will be where he went wrong.
