Happy New Year!

A while ago, especially for our Patrons, we watched convicted felon Dinesh D'Souza's 'documentary' 2000 Mules, which purports to offer evidence that the 2020 election was stolen, using a massive ballot harvesting scheme.

You'll be shocked to learn the evidence doesn't hold up to even a small amount of scrutiny.

However, a small amount of scrutiny isn't our style, so we instead subjected it to intense scrutiny and provided the most comprehensive fact-check of 2000 Mules on the internet. Since the movie is basically one long Gish Gallop, and debunking claims takes longer then claiming them, it took a while, so we hope you like long breakdowns of bullshit. This is part two - the first part came out on Christmas Day!

You're welcome/we're sorry.
