FB and all the Social Media in with the Left. All the Main Media in with the Left. The Left has followed Hitler’s Joseph Goebbels and actually outdone him. “Truth is the mortal enemy of the lie………” Thus they hate Trump using Twitter.

“If you tell a lie big enough and keep repeating it, people will eventually come to believe it. The lie can be maintained only for such time as the State can shield the people from the political, economic and/or military consequences of the lie. It thus becomes vitally important for the State to use all of its powers to repress dissent, for the truth is the mortal enemy of the lie, and thus by extension, the truth is the greatest enemy of the State.”

Yadja, You point to one side, what I assume is the side you do not support but you think the right are honest and tell the truth? Republicans, especially the current administration though have taken an Orwellian stance on truth and facts with coining terms such as “Alternative facts”, “sometimes we can disagree with the facts”, the president lawyer claiming that “‘Truth isn’t truth” and President Trump himself claiming that “What you’re seeing and what you’re reading is not what’s happening,”
