I spent years as a kid in Moscow at the height of the Soviet Union. I spoke fluent Russian.
The official newspaper of the Communist Party was called "Pravda" Правда, or "Truth."
That's how you knew it was all lies.
No surprise that Trump's new platform is called "Truth."

Pains were taken to keep Meadows’ illness a secret, I’m told. And people around him who knew were told to keep quiet.

The reason @RepBoebert @laurenboebert apologized of sorts wasn’t because she’d misspoken. It was because she was called out for a change. She and @JoeTalkShow are deplorables in every way.
In May, when asked about Ilhan Omar and AOC, Lauren Boebert called them “full time propagandists …for state sponsored terrorism,” and supporters of “politicians with suicide belts strapped their body.”
