It was around 4:30 p.m. on Monday, Jan. 11, when police got word of a Nissan Versa driving erratically near the New York-New Jersey border. Once they caught up to the driver, they discovered the man covered in blood, with gashes across his arms and thighs.
"I am tired," Jeffrey Sabol, 51, told the Clarkstown, N.Y., police officers as they aided him, according to court documents. "I am done fighting."

This story deserves the Konrad Kujau award for excellence in political fiction. There is no such award but look up the name.

It’s Politifact for heaven’s sakes - known liars. Appreciate the posting, but my time is too precious to read lies. I hope the people still imprisoned are freed soon. This is America - political prisoners is a communist trait.

PolitiFact, an imprint of the leftoid Tampa Bay Times, is absolutely not to be trusted at anytime. Dishonest and ideologically corrupted, the Times damages American democracy by lying and labeling it as truth. This organization should go out of business. Naturally, I'm not interested in perusing or parsing their, ahem, stuff.

Gosh, I found it very informative and eye opening. I will most certainly ignore the facts when they come out in Arizona, Georgia, Pennsylvania...

An excellent story documenting how the Left thinks about the Right.
And remember, there was no investigation, because there was not cheating, so there was not investigation, because there was no cheating . . . .

I saw Politifact, but started to read anyway. I wasted one minute of my life. I should have known better. We on the right are always being fed lies, especially by Fox and of course by Donald Trump, who by the way has the greatest instincts of any person I ever knew besides my father. If the lefties truly believe that Old Drooling Mouth was fairly elected, then let states audit the election and make themselves fools if Biden did really win. I know, we know, and they know the fix was in. Let there be an excrement storm if it is found that Trump won. It’s better than letting this farcical administration continue down this path of destruction of our country.

All you have to do is see Poynter Institute and you’d save yourself a lot of reading time. Rubbish. That Dem organization doing a “politifact” is a joke.

The biggest mistake made by Sabol is not following clear progressive precedent in burning and looting an American city in the Northeast or Midwest or engaging in a two month violent siege of a US courthouse in a large city in the Pacific Northwest. Had he done so, he'd not have to worry about being incarcerated while awaiting trial. Perhaps next time he feels the need to protest against our government, he'll drop the Carhart for a BLM or Antifa hoodie and trade the teal backpack for a black one packed with incendiaries.

I read far enough to realize it is an opinion piece.
Where does politifact get their "facts"? From their selected political sources, of course.

This is a good example of the misinformation that the country is probably going to be served as more and more focus on the Jan. 6 incident occurs and people start asking tough questions.

Don't read the headline and quit there. Pay attention to the structure of the story and how it is documented to reach the conclusion. This is propaganda at its finest, an art. Of course those who believe this election was "stolen" are all misinformed...steeped in lies regarding the pandemic, gun confiscation, and child pedophilia...just all lies. Any tin-foil hat evidence you may offer is immediately debased. By the end of this article you'll appreciate those lying...
