Well done, great piece.

Trump is the most significant president of our lifetime owing to the fact that he was an unauthorized president. This was the greatest electoral event in American history, it was indeed a Triumph over the deep state. Reaction to his election such a censorship demonstrates Caitlin is correct America is an oligarchy.

Trumps personal traits and lack of competence should not obscure his significance: the forces aligned against him are made plain for what they are, an oligarchy out of control.

"Fact checkers " do not check facts , they are "fact blockers" .

In its response to Stossel’s defamation claim, Facebook responds in a court document :Facebook cannot be sued for defamation (which is making a false and harmful assertion) because its ‘fact checks’ are mere statements of opinion rather than factual assertions.

Opinions are not subject to defamation claims, while false assertions of fact can be subject to defamation ... So, in a court of law, in a legal filing, Facebook admits that its ‘fact checks’ are not really ‘fact’ checks at all, but merely ‘opinion assertions.’
