@Free_Press If truth and reality had triumphed over charismatic liars Judiasm, Christianity and Islam would have been long gone.
@realTuckFrumper Will Biden, Harris and the DNC place the welfare of the country first?
Hey, CNN, fact-checking should be something you do during the debate, not as this afterthought.
You let Trump lie incessantly on LIVE TV and you did it on purpose.

CNN has decided, based on its pre-debate "coverage", that the two major-party candidates are very much equivalent.

Edit: And with treated as such we mean treating the people who use "I will call the cops on you" as a threat like the cop collaborators, the collaborators of institutional violence, they are. break their noses, destroy their power and make everybody around them aware that they are more than happy to use institutional violence for personal gain.
@mattblaze I just looked these up. You do not screw around!
Stanford University's contempt for journalism it doesn't like is on full display here.
Just reprehensible, and it should put to rest some of the longstanding mythology about the school's political leanings. https://www.sfchronicle.com/bayarea/article/stanford-presses-prosecution-student-journalist-19523761.php
