2020 no resumo do Washington Post: Trump difundiu 25 MIL MENTIRAS desde 2017 !!!

O Washington Post foi um inimigo implacável do Grande Mentecapto desde o início de seu mandato. Aliás, o WP já catalogava e denunciava as suas MENTIRAS desde a campanha eleitoral. 

Foi o presidente que mais MENTIU na história política dos EUA. Parece incrível que tenha ainda tantos idiotas que acreditam nele e que inclusive deram dinheiro – milhões e milhões – para que ele conduzisse uma nova campanha FRAUDULENTA contra alegadas fraudes no processo eleitoral e nas apurações.

Merece certas amizades, igualmente fraudulentas e que vivem a contar mentiras.

O mundo está mesmo cheio de IDIOTAS! Nos EUA, isso não me surpreende muito: é um dos países mais carolas do mundo, daquela religiosidade ingênua que acredita que os dinossauros conviveram com os homens, mas que não sobreviveram ao dilúvio porque não cabiam na Arca de Noé.

How we covered a year like no other

The Washington Post, December 29, 2020

A global pandemic. A historic presidential election. Protests for racial justice and equality. Wildfires, hurricanes and an impeachment trial. It all happened in 2020.

It was a year of loss. The world lost legends, heroes, family and friends. If there was anything to gain, perhaps it was perspective. We found new ways to look at age-old problems, long unexamined. New ways of thinking about the future. And new ways to connect with each other.

Through it all, The Washington Post newsroom reported on thousands of stories with the goal of helping you understand, process and talk about each new tragedy and development as it unfolded.

Below, are just some of the stories that defined 2020 — a year of extraordinary tumult and disruption.

Born with two strikes: How systemic racism shaped George Floyd’s life and hobbled his ambition

The pandemic made them homeless. Post readers helped.

The economic collapse sparked by the pandemic is triggering the most unequal recession in modern U.S. history. We interviewed a family near Orlando that was sleeping in their car after their money ran out. The story inspired more than 1,900 people to donate more than $130,000 to help turn the family’s life around.
