    It was another whopper kind of year ... Among them: The 87,000 IRS agents, Trump's claims about past presidents and classified documents, 2000 Mules, Biden's deficit spin, Medicare spin, neverending spins on Covid vaccines, pair of videos make far-fetched claims about Covid, coronavirus origin baloney, biolabs in Ukraine, Russia's war in Ukraine, Pelosi attack, Trump claimed he stopped the steal in 2018.

    I just did. While so-called Fact Checkers zeroed in on minutiae, mountains of evidence of vaccine harms accrued. Now staggering levels of excess deaths in highly vaccinated countries.

    Whoa! Politicians lie to make themselves look good or to demonize the other team? Who woulda thunk it!

    The real problem is that the average joe is too effing blinded to know what's true and what's not because "yay team!"

    Man, between you, Rick, and Q, you would think if all these people dropping dead in the streets after getting vaccinated were a thing we’d hear far more about it. It’s almost like it’s completely made up and not based in reality.

    autocorrect is of the devil and of course it's never "duck".

    Nah, there's no indication you even read the piece. If you did, and if you wanted to back up your claim, you'd point to a specific thing FactCheck and disprove it.
    Instead it's just "Uh, vaccines. Yeah, that's the ticket! Anything to do with vaccines!"

    Listen, if we would stop reporting Covid related deaths and stop testing, the numbers would go way down.
