Some idiot friend of a conservative relative asserted that Biden wants to abolish the VA. ... I of course looked it up since it sounds so bizarre and it's satire. ...they wouldn't believe me... this seems to be the go to right wing propaganda tool, just lie like crazy about what democrats are trying to do. I think a satirical site could claim Biden wants to kill all puppies and these people would believe it at face value.
In my experience when fact checking, it's less lying as it is misrepresenting the facts.

Which is well, a form of lying, but that aside.

Look at the recent "controversy" around Mr Potato Head and Dr Seuss.

Others I have seen are things like "Biden canceled diabetes medicine.

It's, "Something happened in this niche corner that is meaningless but we will pretend it's the end of the world because "The Liberals".

If voting rights bills were truly an attempt to "permanently solidify" a Democratic majority, how would that be selling out their own voters? :hellokitty:

Not to mention that if Voting Rights bills give democrats a permanent majority, Republicans are flat out admitting that they do not want everyone to vote and are doing their very best to solidify their own majority by denying a basic right of democracy; that of universal suffrage.

Meanwhile, the far left (some of them, anyway) are keeping up with the Joneses:

Someone is seeing things that aren't there. I see mountains and a star. A guillotine has a very sharp pointed lower corner, not kinked like in that image. I wonder if they strained their backs reaching for that one.

To be fair, that is a rather guillotine -shaped window, with the circle at the bottom exactly where the opening for the head on a guillotine would be. I've also come across leftist posts referring to guillotines. Not seriously (I think), but after the attempted coup people are on edge about these things. It they want to avoid that misunderstanding, it might be a good idea to alter the shape of the window and take away that hole at the bottom.
Guillotine was the first thing I saw, not looking carefully, and I didn't strain anything looking.

I was thinking of that too. So I checked their website.

This is the actual logo, the guillotine frame is a troll.

No but see the state of Nevada is a guillotine, therefore Biden made the logo that way.

I was thinking the shape looked familiar but I had other things on my mind at the time. 🤫
