Trolls paid to sabotage an American election.
“It’s aiming at destructing the liberal concept of western society including democracy itself and free media, fair elections, effective governance, right of people for self-determination, self-governance.”

1/ Throw a rock, hit a shell.

As well-financed false narratives continue spreading like laundered money, just a quick refresher on how to sniff out the bullshit.

Anyone ever figger out what was wrong with Mitch McConnell’s health?

Two years ago, @KenLevy2020 and I wrote about how unhealthy “Mutating Mitch” is for democracy.
1/ Me, 10/23/2018—When this gruesome and uncivil war for the soul of democracy is but a distant memory, with some perpetrators long behind bars, I will reflect back on the allies I made in the trenches of truth.
2/ The brave-hearts who spoke truth to power and wouldn’t stand down, and those who understood the gravity of the depravity.
