China refuses to allow research into the origin of the virus and blames whoever is pissing them off that day. I don't think it's beyond reason to think, in a country where officials routinely fudge numbers to avoid jail time, that

I've seen Normie conservative and libertarian friends posting screenshots of this. I wouldn't be surprised if the anti establishment left are getting the same thing. Facebook is getting into activism, you should be very worried.

Imagine spending 4 years calling Donald Trump an illegitimate president then having a cry when they want to validate votes. You want Trump Republicans to calm down? Prove Joe won, let them look at the ballots. Elections should be open and t
