      Reminder that libs wanted to do this under Trump. They made a website that would snopes your posts. You could just present a card with a true fact on it and magas had to take you seriously. Can't remember if they charged though.

          It was. The social media app so stupid it turned :chairman-daou: back into a revolutionary. (Sort of. Not really. But much less of a lib)

      Not sure if he means this will only be open to people that pass the verification process. IE you can't just pay to get a blue check without also already being approved for having one?

      I don't have dogshit takes. We will buy back the blue checkmark like Allende bought back property from the landlords and exploiters.
