I fell for all of them as I’m a nice guy who trusts Democrats and the media!!
In their wettest dreams!!! I’m an old school journalist - trust but verify, four or five times esp. if it comes politicians, the NYT, Wash. Post and the LA Times.
Then recheck every thing again.
Also know the MARXIST backgrounds of many of their writers. You’d be surprised at what you would find.
Left one out:
Trump calling the troops losers and suckers.
That falsehood started out as an article from The Atlantic
