Online hoaxes after the Santa Fe shootings
Once again, just like in prior mass shootings, fake Facebook posts about the Santa Fe shooting emerged.
This article states: “In the first hours after the Texas school shooting that left at least 10 dead Friday, online hoaxers moved quickly to spread a viral lie, creating fake Facebook accounts with the suspected shooter’s name and a doctored photo showing him wearing a “Hillary 2016″ hat.”
Even Fox News covered this aspect of the story:
Sad!
Facts about mass shootings
Trump’s false statements in tweets today
Trump’s foreign policy
Two good points about Trump’s foreign policy:
TV is helping Trump by putting his lying supporters on
I completely agree – the media is spreading lies by letting these people on TV:
Great tweets from non aesthetic things
Great tweets from Florida Man
I have linked to his tweets before. He really finds some bizarre stuff.
All Trump, all the time
I watch a lot of CNN and this article is right on the money. The media only wants Democrats to talk about Trump, not their policies.
Sad!
What is Trump up to?
Trump’s latest unhinged tweet demands that the Department of Justice look into whether or not they infiltrated the Trump campaign for political purposes. Notice his tweetstorm today did not deal with the substance of the New York Times story that his campaign met with other foreign countries in addition to Russia.
Trump’s request is wrong and unreasonable. I hope that the DOJ doesn’t cave in. I think he is doing this as an excuse to fire Sessions, Rosenstein, and/or Wray if they don’t do what he wants. If he gets rid of Rosenstein, he can put someone in who will fire Mueller.
What happens if he does any or all of this? The Democrats will get upset but they have no power. The cowardly Republicans will do nothing; they have not stopped Trump before. The Mueller investigation will continue even if Mueller is gone – this happened in Watergate after Cox was fired.
Trump is doing damage to the country that will take decades to repair. We are all less safe because of his efforts to unmask the informant – why would anyone give confidential information to US intelligence agencies if they know they can be exposed? The bottom line is there would be no informant if the Trump campaign did not have many contacts with Russians, enemies of the US.
