America is now in lockstep with Russia China and North Korea. America will no longer be trusted by western democracies and NATO members especially when it comes to intelligence sharing. GOP have sold themselves to Putin.

Indeed. It was the worst State of the Union speech in American history. There was no rhetorical value to it, and lies provide no telling of any true state. Disappointing on so many levels, and sadness abounds.

a clown who's a puppetleader for russia and oligarchs worldwide... lies. yes you can factcheck all you want and you will come to that conclusion each time. so: that's not *news*. what *news* is CNN going to bring? what are you going to *do* about it?

Hire a convicted criminal and multiple time bankruptcy claimant to run the country and you are going to get a liar hiding the true facts. The State of the Union address only needed to say that the union is in a right state i.e. a mess. Krasnov is the reason.

Trump is a traitor, plain and simple. He’s NEVER been supportive of America, only making money by shitting on people. Now he’s doing it to the entire country. He needs to be impeached and tried for treason. #TraitorTrump

CNN should hold a town hall w/members on both sides of the aisle along w/everyday Americans affected by the trump "make the rich wealthier on the backs of low/middle income Americans" & ask how can "America is back" be true when its citizens are losing their jobs, homes, benefits & retirement.

Tesla sales is down 70% in Germany. Musk has made the brand completely toxic in Europe and certain other parts of the world. Will he write an explanation to the Tesla board why he has been doing such a bad job and the stock is down 35 %? Turns out being Putins spokesperson has consequenses

We did not watch it, the complete bullshit of lies mixed with gross exaggerations made us sick to our stomachs. We turned it off after 10 mins. How are we going to tolerate 47 more mos of destruction, betrayal, sabotage, corruption and serial lying from a piece of garbage felon? We need a miracle.

Controlled Opposition – When a group presents itself as part of a movement but is actually working to undermine it from within. Manufactured Consent (from Noam Chomsky) – When media outlets give the illusion of debate or balance while ultimately serving elite interests.

Fact-checking is crucial in today's political landscape. It's essential to sift through the noise and hold leaders accountable for their statements. Let’s stay informed and demand accuracy, whether it's from the right or the left. What stood out most to you in the fact check?

Trump is going after transgender and sex orientation for his little buddy musk because musk has a kid that transitioned from male to female. They are turning America into their own dynasty. Thank God most our allies understand most Americans do not represent these two nuts.

If he keeps lying, why do you keep showing him? Have some morals and grow a pair. Stand for ethics and fact base journalism, cut off the feed to this muppet show. Be the adult in the room and tell your viewers you’re sorry but you believe in the truth and facts, not propaganda and lies. Do Better

During prez address, opposing party should keep track of lies in as close to real time as possible. Once predetermined # of lies is reached, opposition party walks out of chamber. Setting predetermined #, opposition party telegraphs their intention to prez. No reason to sit listening to bullshit.

And the republicans are fine with it. Trump is not the biggest problem. He just has a mental disorder. The Republican congressmen are the problem with their ovations 🤮. Shame, shame, shame

The entirety of the Biden Administration was a lie & coverup for 4 years. That and the border is secure, boys can get periods, men can get pregnant…

Trump stands before Congress peddling a carnival of lies exaggerating DOGE’s so-called ‘savings,’ distorting Biden’s record, and pushing policies that gut the very systems Americans depend on. The GOP cheers while the truth drowns by this administration’s assault on decency and reality itself.

Why bother to fact check when nobody that matters will bother? They know he lies like he breathes and just let him spew his gaslighting as long as their power is maintained and the money laundering profits keeps rolling in. And that’s both siding it

VERY SAD !!! It is fascinating that people have the ability to twist logic and evidence to such a degree that they can maintain a "belief" that is at direct and obvious odds with reality. Trump is a traitor to our Constitution, and led an insurrection of our country.
