The Republican Party's midterm convention used the traditional red, white and blue decorations - but added Trump's favorite color: gold. I recommend that they use a new US flag. The traditional colors were red for blood, white for purity and blue for justice. The new version features red for blood, gold for wealth and purple for monarchy.

Any pretense of the pure or organic is undercut by a kind of willful alchemy; everything is an admixture.

What is a korrent?
A korrent is a belief a person has stated in their own words: one sentence stating the claim, backed by a quote and a source, kept at korrents.com.
Under a name here, the quoted block is what they actually said. The korrent beneath it is the claim those words support, in korrents' wording — tap it to see the record, its source, and who else holds it.
Nobody here wrote their own korrents. They are compiled from public statements, and a person can change their mind, which is recorded too.
About the English under a post
Some people here publish in a language other than English. Where they do, this site shows a machine translation beneath the post, in this typeface — the site's own, not theirs.
The post itself is never changed, moved or hidden: what is set in the serif above is exactly what the person published, and it is what to quote them on. A translation can be wrong in ways that matter, especially about tone.
Only the post's own words are translated. A quoted post, a linked article and a belief on korrents.com are left in their original language.
