With Tucker gone, who is going to let the antiwar people speak and who is going to stand up for Julian Assange?

What does Qanon have to do with anything?

That’s an easy one for me. QAnon is an example of how far misinformation can go. This isn’t just about governments any more.

Sidenote, do you mean to assume in this topic’s title that our opinions are based largely on other people’s opinions? (Albeit it wouldn’t be a far fetched assumption,…[Read more]
