  1. I get it, there is a lot the right is claiming that is not true… but you have zero false claims by anyone on the left?

    Here is a claim from intelligence operative Gordon Duff that hasn’t made it to the left yet. DeJoy has diverted 5,000,000 mail in ballots from democrat strongholds to an undisclosed warehouse instead of delivering them. That would account almost totally for the discrepancy between all the polling and the results.
