Did Trump Really Say That?! (part 3)

/ Daniel Mynyk/ No Comments

This episode is part 3 of examining common claims about something Donald Trump said.

As we examine each trope let’s ask ourselves “Did Trump really say that?!”

Context is king. There can be more than meets the eye than what media will often have us believe.

In part 3 we dissect two hoaxes:

  1. The “Proud Boys, stand back and stand by” hoax
  2. The Putin can “do whatever he wants” hoax

Colorado’s Abortion Amendment 79–Why It Matters

***Warning: This episode talks about sensitive topics*** November 5, 2024 is a crucial election in the United States for many reasons. The country is polarized. Even many states are polarized. Colorado’s Amendment 79 would enshrine abortion as a fundamental right into the state constitution. It would even allow the legislature to pass laws that pay for it on demand with taxes.
