What is the simple term for verifying the “news” is aligned with your propaganda?

“Fakt Checking?”

Let me know when we actually execute monopoly regulations as intended.

Because people need a common term that’s memorable to describe it.

Something like “owner’s rake” or “worker juice.”

I woke up the other day and thought, “What if Putin launched a nuclear war on the US? And the current administration knew beforehand but did nothing other than leave the country in advance of the bombs making impact?”

Just a reminder that the LDS Church has $206 Billion in the bank.

A church. $206 Billion.

But you’ll do nothing to stop him.

Tulsi only gave her device to Russian intelligence to install exclusive games not available in the US.
