Following his Oval Office clash with Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelensky, President Donald Trump has paused military aid to Ukraine. The Onion fact-checks Trump on the Russia-Ukraine war. Claim: Zelensky never told the United States ‘thank you.The Onion Staff (The Onion)
The days of being ruled by “unelected bureaucrats” are over, Trump says.
#Democrats scoff & point up at the gallery where #Musk is sitting.
#USpol #FactCheck #TrumpLies
Trump is lying about something that he & #Musk have said before: that there’s massive “fraud” in #SocialSecurity being paid out to deceased Americans still in the system.
Analysts & watchdog groups have thoroughly DEBUNKED this crap.
The problem is neither new nor a sign of widespread fraud, but a technological issue w/Social Security’s tracking system & does not represent a source of significant spending.

E.G.
Trump just claimed he’s stopped “government censorship” & “brought back free speech in America.” In reality, Trump has signed #ExecutiveOrders that’s required the govt to scrub certain words & phrases from the public domain, dictating “patriotic education,” & just today announced that #schools would lose federal funding if they allowed students to engage in certain protests.

The last president who made a trade deal w/Canada was actually Trump in his first term, when he negotiated the US-Mexico-Canada Agreement.
Likewise, Trump talks about the “tremendous fraud, tremendous waste” in government without saying why he did nothing about it during his first term.

Trump’s false claims on the sum the US has spent are the predicate for his demand that Ukraine pay upwards of $500B to the US under a still-being-negotiated #minerals agreement.

Zelenskyy debunks Trump’s claim of his 4% approval rating, calling it russian disinformation. The real numbers were far higher. This is yet another example of kremlin-backed lies manipulating global politics.

Medan högern pratar om det väljarna bryr sig om.
Min tanke är att om vänstern/demokraterna börjar slira på sanningen och kommunicera som högern då kommer vänsterväljarna att faktagranska och ta avstånd i högre grad än högerväljare.

Where do the LNP (Lying Nasty Party) get the figure of 68,000km of extra powerlines that are needed for wind and solar power.
Yes, I accept that there may need to be new powerlines, as evidenced by the nearby wind farm. But the existing coal power stations all needed them built creating jobs and boosting economy.
But the lines have minimal impact on landowners in the long term in my opinion, still being able to run livestock and crop under them. In my experience a lot less of impact that the gas wells and associated infrastructure and roads to them.
The other problem not ever mentioned, is the management, storage and costs for 1,000s of years of the nuclear waste!

The use of the phrase ‘is one of the only’ is imprecise. It comes from the Hersey website, a cynic might suggest it is deliberately confusing.
