People need to get a life outside of social media
@Kay get a good psychologist. Your social skills did not develop. You need help.
@Mj light never used Twitter. Never will. I have social skills and critical thinking along with an open mind. Must be 30 years working in high level law firms.
@vincent narvaez Nope. The guy is a biased activist. Too much censorship.
@Nonya Bidness check out the anti-trust lawsuits filed against all of them. Go to PACER website and read the court docs. It was once thought no one could bring down Microsoft. They did. Bill Gates is an exemplar philanthropist now.
@Mj light you know YouTube is owned by Google right?
Cognitive Dissonsnce can kill. Fascist governments and movements often kill off students, professors, and anyone else that challenges what they believe. They literally can’t accept info that challenges their beliefs.
I ABSOLUTELY AGREE, COGNITIVE DISSONANCE IS CAUSING CONSCIENTIOUS OBJECTORS TO KILL THEMSELVES I HAVE BEEN RESEARCHING AND WROTE A BOOK.
@JasonS its important to note, in light of my post, that Antifa is “anti-fascist”…
@EDUARDO OLIVER OLIVER GO AWAY TROLL!!!!!!
@JasonS He either lied or gets his info from social media! It’s not funny anymore.
@JasonS That is way over his head bro, he is a cultist
death threats are the standard that you are doing the right thing.
@Nick P 99% of dRumpf supporters/Republicians don’t
@9753flyer sadly, there’s a lot they don’t understand
@Nick P Understatement of the millennium! 😀
@R R NO! No one is forced to be silent by fact checkers. If that were the case, your president would not be able to speak.
Read the Bible
If disagreement = death, then we might as well go back to living in Caves.
Well, step one is going to have to be that the left stops with the fascist tactics. The lies and manipulation of the media for propaganda.
@Mario “@John Lyons you’re asking for death to those that think different for you? You’ve gone too far, sir.”
Yes. Yes he has. However, I remind you that the left started it with two different groups of Nazi Brown Shirts who had Krystalnacht all summer long and murdered +30 people. I can understand why these men are pretty hot about that.
Brain dead

We’re very Fcking close🙏Vote
Correct a fool and you’ll be hated…correct a wise man and you’ll be appreciated
@R R Snopes: There is no universally agreed upon definition of a fool. We rate your statement FALSE.
@tea Will I believe R R has been fact checked!
Excellent proverb.
Damn that was slick good one.
J Singleton- Well said my friend
The fact that a fact checkers are getting death threats show the sad state that our country is in.
@Jodie Banks Jodie,,, I think we need a fact checker here. You should be ashamed. If you love trump then that’s your right as an American citizen; stop your lies about the liberals. Just by changing your statement from “Liberals” to “The Right” it could fit your political views. Surely you can see that can’t you?
@John Halas Sorry John, I just can’t see how you say Facebook as favored anyone but hate groups and those who want to see our country fall. Facebook, Twitter and Google all need to do more to manage their media. Saying they are just the phone wires does not cover it anymore. You want to hate Democrats,,, I ask you why. What exactly are they getting away with that you just can’t stand? And why can’t you see trump for what he is, and what he’s doing?
@Harold Lipschitz No,,, he seems to be ranting that the 3 major means of mass communications favor the Liberal’s/Democrats. He’s whining that trump has seen this for years and wants to fix it.
@John Halas Interesting how you say that Trump has been talking about this for years, not just in public but on the very platforms that you are railing against. Is this what they call cognitive dissonance?
@Donna Brockbank yes
What compels people to send death threats to random strangers? It definitely isn’t the power of Christ. This country really needs to increase access to quality mental health services.
Anonymity. Or the internet service providers’ gift of anonymity, since they know which user is sending out what.
I wouldn’t be worried about death threats I’ve had my share for voicing my opinion over others. People don’t like when you have an alternate opinion. Like Epstein didn’t kill himself you know.
Ask a Democrap. They do it all the time. Then they become antifa, BLM or KKK.
Alexis Mitchell it’s not mental health services that are needed it’s policing and legislation. If you threaten someone with death then it’s a form of terrorism
Gary Rumain Cupid stunt
NORMALIZE 👏🏼 CHANGING 👏🏼 YOUR 👏🏼 OPINIONS 👏🏼 WHEN 👏🏼 PRESENTED 👏🏼 WITH 👏🏼 NEW 👏🏼 INFORMATION
Yes!!! I’m glad someone else is saying this. When did it become a terrible thing to say “oh damn, I’m wrong. Thanks for sharing that info with me.”
@Jon Galloway Since we have a President who is unable to do that, and a bunch of cultists who blindly follow along!
WE SAY THE SAME THING ABOUT THE CALLER!!! IM GLAD THE FACT CHECKERS ARE THERE! KEEP UP THE GREAT WORK!!!!!
Everyone is entitled to his own opinion, but not to his own facts.’ — Daniel Patrick Moynihan
@Nick King you left Fox News off the list. 🤣
“Everything is true until you find out its a lie”. someone.
@Nonya Bidness not. America wasn’t on verge of a civil war before trump. Anyone that can’t say that they’ll accept election results is a dictator. I’ve voted Democrat and republican before so I’m not liberal but a concerned American. trump is dividing us more than ever and he takes no responsibility.

@David Cox what a load of crap… “You are not entitled to an opinion…”?? only in chy-nA!
..”you are required to defend it”, in a Russian gulag maybe.
You’ll do well under k’lalala, she’ll probs ask you to help her hunt down Trump supporters if enough of you communists vote for joe.
I’ve noticed that the people most in need of fact-checking also desperately need spellcheck.
@Mj light KJV 1611 Genesis 1:2
And the earth was without forme, and voyd, and darkenesse was vpon the face of the deepe: and the Spirit of God mooued vpon the face of the waters. I Guess the Almighty God, Christ and those anointed by Him to go out and teach the gospel and write these things is down for HIS People, His Chosen and Precious Children so that we may know of Him and how we should live. I God, and His only begotten Son, Moses and others were also dumb?
American standard Bible Genesis 1:2
2 And the earth was without form, and void; and darkness was upon the face of the deep. And the Spirit of God moved upon the face of the waters..
@Wilton Minier I would beg to differ on that one
@Mj light, I had a Trump supporter tell me “your to ignorant” Is that grammatically correct?
@Mj light, bigly< grammatically correct?
@Mj light irony is dripping off my screen all over the carpet from your post. Get literate racist.
Imagine wanting to kill someone that’s trying to help you. The guy that called him, any of them, should be in jail
Hmm, I wonder how many people said that about the nazi party?
@zztalk talkzz Wait… you are actually comparing an organization that MURDERED millions to someone _saying_ ‘you are wrong/what you believe is factually incorrect?!?!?!’
Do humanity a favor.. don’t reproduce.
Face it. The fact checking SEEMS unequal mostly because one side lies far far far far far more often than the other. Sadly, almost every politician lies at some point, but certain ones lie constantly, and often with greater consequence.
Exactly.
Both sides lie .
But being real….Republicans are more loose with reality so to speak because thier voters are the same way
Which side?
@Bone Saw clearly the right
Trump lied 🤥 Americans died = TRUTH
I think that they fail to realize that Facebook owes them NOTHING! They’re using it for free, and Facebook is just asking them to KEEP IT REAL
Instead of death threats. Prove the fact checker wrong.
@tea Will There is freedom and there are facts – they are not mutually interchangeable
Right wingers don’t know how proof works.
https://youtu.be/bH23nGxR8oc
100 % TRUE
That requires work.
“WE both want what’s best for OUR democracy, right?”
“I don’t know about that.”
RED FLAGS?! HELLO!?
Trump supporters play dirty. They literally come up with baseless accusations and conspiracy theories and they went people to believe it.
And if you fact check them you’re called a deep state agent. They never spread the truth, they only spread lies.
My guess is he doesn’t get death threats when he flags a Biden statement as being false. Normal, well balanced folks can cope with being corrected. The road to Fascism is the slow boiling of a frog….by the time he realizes there’s a problem, it’s too late
Trolls hate fact checkers as it exposes them for their lies!
Trump gave his supporters something no one else would; permission to be their worst selves.
That’s why they will never abandon him.
Very well said. Thank you, I agree.
Partly! There are also some good people that have been indoctrinated into the cult by propoganda, fox news, sinclair media, the gop, &/or friends/family/aquaintences… hopefully those cult members will snap out of their delusion :o(
Sure! When they see the “leader” of this country always bringing his F game, they think it’s ok to a reprehensible human being.
You hit the nail on the head. I’ve had to end life long friendships because I never knew the real person. Trump has allowed closet racist, anti-lifestyle choice, narcissistic, borderline sociopaths to feel normal and vindicated. I don’t even know these “friends” of mine?? They are literally different people! It has made me sick.
TRUTH
