Good advice for all Republicans:
““If we don’t solve the Presidential Election Fraud of 2020 (which we have thoroughly and conclusively documented), Republicans will not be voting in ‘22 or ‘24. It is the single most important thing for Republicans to do,” the former president’s statement read.”

I subscribe to that newspaper. It is usually about 8 pages long. The best parts are the sheriff’s report, letters, and the history columns.
“Hacker X”—the American who built a pro-Trump fake news empire—unmasks himself
He was hired to build a fake news op but now wants to put things right.”

“This is the story of the mastermind behind one of the largest “fake news” operations in the US.
For two years, he ran websites and Facebook groups that spread bogus stories, conspiracy theories, and propaganda. Under him was a dedicated team of writers and editors paid to produce deceptive content—from outright hoaxes to political propaganda—with the supreme goal of tipping the 2016 election to Donald Trump.
I imagine the Trump supporters will label this as fake news-the irony is never ending.
Wait until they find out about all the big papers and networks that pushed lies to maintain support for the invasions of Iraq and Afghanistan.
