Meanwhile, Twitter labeled a parody video Trump shared of Biden as manipulated

The Trump campaign on Tuesday asked Twitter to label a video posted by Joe Biden's campaign as manipulated media over a clip that they say takes President Trump's words out of context and has been repeatedly fact-checked as incorrect manipulation, but the company declined to do so, according to emails obtained by Fox News.

Nationalize them.

Nationalize them.

Having worked for the government and seen cover-ups, foias not returned, and even a department-internal cocaine distribution network, I don't think it'd change much. And heck, the public universities are worse than most places and that is government (despite the universities apparently needing to be constantly checked by the courts, abuses are expanding exponentially.)

Answering this question directly could result in hot water for me.

Suffice it to say, where there's a will and a loaded gun, there's a way.
