I disagree a lot with many folks here. But one thing is for certain

...which I will never take for granted: We generally live in the same reality. Verifiably false claims are few and far between here. Just wanted to say how I truly appreciate it, and how much of a breath of fresh air it can be in a world where misinformation has become more readily available than bubble gum.

(1) Trump is a mobster that answers to Putin in Moscow.
(2) The so-called Republican Party enables and supports Trump/Putin.

is that we are pretty much united on those points.

There is a segment of the left on social media (and not just bots or trolls) who are pro-Putin or at least are Putin apologists.

That were not right wing talking points, or conspiracy theories.

Kinda sucks when the truth gets flagged....
