It looked for a while like Meta had paused it’s pro Trump counter attack on Facebook posts that weren’t passing politically correct muster with the Donald. I was thinking this was because Facebook’s censorship campaign worked well enough that Trump got his bloated ass back in the white house and all was right with the world and whatever the libtards were saying didn’t matter anymore. But no.

I shared this graphic on my Facebook page back on March 5 and now it’s being “Fact Checked”, along with probably everyone else’s posts who laughed at Trump’s confusing transgender mice with transgenic mice…

The hair splitting being done this time by ersatz Meta/Trump fact checkers “Lead Stories” is that it wasn’t just a case of Trump confusing transgenic with transgender but that he referenced several studies that studied the effects of hormone treatment in mice for the purpose of evaluating the safety of certain kinds of transgender healthcare. But it was never about making mice transgendered, and yes, he did also confuse a study on transgenic mice with the studies on transgender healthcare.

So once more Meta/Facebook is stepping up to the plate to sew doubt and confusion about legitimate criticism of Trump’s behavior. There are lies made of false facts, and there are lies of omission, where some or all critical facts are hidden behind a lot of word salad. But they are all lies and you can’t build a nation out of lies.

We’re on dangerous ground right now, because of our secrets and our lies. They are practically what define us. When the truth offends, we lie and lie until we can no longer remember it is even there, but it is still there. Every lie we tell incurs a debt to the truth. Sooner or later, that debt is paid.

Meta is once again covering up Donald Trump’s lies. He must be feeling the heat. Good.

[Update] This from a Reddit user: I guess that’s why it reads disingenuous to me. What Trump said is still wrong and the White House is trying to defend what he said by referencing useful science that is worth funding. His words are anti-science and anti-transgender people. Hormone research and gender affirming care also applies to more people than just transgender people. I worry people would simply read the headline of the Lead Stories article and follow along with his anti-science narrative.

That’s the entire point, to keep the anti science narrative alive, and also hatred toward transgendered Americans. Because otherwise how are they going to keep winning elections.
