Pravda is, of course the official organ of the Communist Part of the USSR and is not to be confused with Izvestia, the organ of the Soviet government. “Pravda” means “truth” and “Izvestia” means “news” There is a pat (but probably not very outspoken) saying in Moscow that there’s no news in Pravda and no truth in Izvestia

IIRC he is, or was, on probation for wiretapping an office in Louisiana. Pretty sure he’s a convict, in any case. (I could Google it but I’m on my 2nd sidecar.)

And before anyone @'s us with "but think of the slippery slope and how this stuff will get applied to progressives and minorities, it’s ALREADY been being done to progressives and minorities for years.

And yet if you bring up how in their infamous ACORN videos they went to multiple sites trying the same “pimp” stunt, only to have the staff there call the cops, or that Veritas ended up paying Planned Parenthood $2million for their fraudulent video “sting” operation, the average conservative wouldn’t know anything about it.
A lie travels halfway around the world while the truth is still putting its shoes on.
